Fearful of prison time--or lynching--for violating Indiana's anti-miscegenation laws in the 1940s, E. Dolores Johnson's black father and white mother fled Indianapolis to secretly marry in Buffalo. Her mother simply vanished, evading an FBI and police search that ended with the declaration to her family that she was the victim of foul play, either dead or a victim of human trafficking. When Johnson was born, social norms and her government-issued birth certificate said she was Negro, nullifying her mother's white blood in her identity. As an African American, she withstood the advice of a high school counselor who said that blacks don't go to college by graduating from Harvard. Then, as a code-switching business executive feeling too far from her black roots, she searched her father's black genealogy. Johnson was amazed to suddenly realize that her mother's whole white side was--and always had been--missing. When confronted, her mother's decades-old secret spilled out. Despite her parents' crippling and well-founded fears of rejection and reprisals, and her black militant brother's accusation that she was a race traitor, Johnson went searching for the white family who did not know she existed. When she found them, it's not just their shock and her mama's shame that have to be overcome, but her own fraught experiences with whites.

Rassismus ist wieder Gegenwartsthema ¿ doch die deutschen Aspekte und Brüche des Phänomens sind noch kaum erforscht. Nach einer ausführlichen Skizze der westdeutschen Rassismusgeschichte durch V.S. Vukadinovi¿ nimmt der Band in chronologischer Gliederung exemplarische Facetten in den Blick: von den Kontinuitäten völkischen Denkens bis zu den Auswirkungen der Wiedervereinigungs-Euphorie und den identitätspolitischen Diskursen der Gegenwart.

In the 1890s, bicycling was a cultural activity for the wealthy elite, with a bicycle costing about twenty weeks of a laborer's pay. And even if you were to somehow acquire one, you were most likely going to land face-first on the gravel roadway. There were strict cultural norms and bicyclists were painted as scofflaws in the media. Kittie Knox, a teenage Black girl, began making headlines in her hometown of Boston, showing up in homemade tailored suits while most participants had expensive, specialized clothing. Knox soon took home a first prize and was bolstered to attend the League of American Wheelmen's national event in Asbury Park, NJ. The only problem, of course, is that Kittie was absolutely not welcome. The League had recently passed the color bar, saying that only white people could join the organization. But Kittie showed up anyway, turned heads, made her mark, and changed bicycling forever. In this excellent, deep-research piece full of cultural analysis, you can see how Knox's actions continue to affect cycling today.

#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLERWINNER OF THE 2020 TORONTO BOOK AWARDWINNER OF THE OLA EVERGREEN AWARDFINALIST FOR THE WRITERS' TRUST SHAUGNESSY COHEN PRIZEFINALIST FOR THE RAKUTEN KOBO EMERGING WRITER PRIZE*UPDATED with new foreword, postscript, and educator's guide*In this bracing, revelatory work of award-winning journalism, celebrated writer and activist Desmond Cole punctures the naive assumptions of Canadians who believe we live in a post-racial nation. Chronicling just one year in the struggle against racism in this country, The Skin We're In reveals in stark detail the injustices faced by Black Canadians on a daily basis: the devastating effects of racist policing, the hopelessness produced by an education system that fails Black children, the heartbreak of those separated from their families by discriminatory immigration laws, and more. Cole draws on his own experiences as a Black man in Canada, and locates the deep cultural, historical, and political roots of each event. What emerges is a personal, painful, and comprehensive picture of entrenched, systemic inequality. Updated with a new foreword, postscript, and an extensive educator's guide, The Skin We're In is essential reading for all Canadians, and a vital tool in the fight against racism.

Featuring essays from David Olusoga, Dawn Butler MP, Kit de Waal, Kwame Kwei-Armah, and many more.In response to the international outcry at George Floyd's death, Lenny Henry and Marcus Ryder have commissioned this collection of essays to discuss how and why we need to fight for Black lives to matter - not just for Black people but for society as a whole.Recognising Black British experience within the Black Lives Matter movement, nineteen prominent Black figures explain why Black lives should be celebrated when too often they are undervalued. Drawing from personal experience, they stress how Black British people have unique perspectives and experiences that enrich British society and the world; how Black lives are far more interesting and important than the forces that try to limit it."e;We achieve everything not because we are superhuman. We achieve the things we achieve because we are human. Our strength does not come from not having any weaknesses, our strength comes from overcoming them"e; Doreen Lawrence."e;I always presumed racism would always be here, that it was a given. But the truth is, it was not always here, it was invented."e; David Olusoga"e;Our identity and experience will shape every story, bleed into every poem, inform every essay whether it's about Black 'issues' or not"e; Kit de Waal

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2015 im Fachbereich Soziologie - Kinder und Jugend, Note: 1,3, Hochschule Esslingen (Fakultät Soziale Arbeit, Gesundheit und Pflege), Veranstaltung: Inklusion, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Hausarbeit wirft einen Blick auf die Bildungsungleichheit von Kindern und Jugendlichen mit Migrationshintergrund anhand von Pierre Bourdieu, weiteren soziologischen Erklärungsansätzen sowie Formen von institutioneller Diskriminierung. Dazu werde ich zuerst eine Definition der Begriffe "Migration" und "Migrationshintergrund", "soziale Ungleichheit", sowie "Bildung" skizzieren. Danach werde ich mich mit der Frage nach der Messung von Ungleichheit im Bildungssystem beschäftigen.Anschließend werde ich das Theoriemodell von Bourdieu behandeln, da hier Begrifflichkeiten verwendet werden, die zuvor erläutert werden müssen. Durch die darauf folgende bildungssoziologische Perspektive und die institutionelle Diskriminierung werde ich versuchen, mögliche Mechanismen für die Genese sowie Dauerhaftigkeit von Bildungsungleichheit aufzuzeigen. Der nächste Punkt thematisiert den Status der Forschungslage in Deutschland. Abschließend werden zwei Ansätze vorgestellt, die eine mögliche Veränderung für die benachteiligten Kinder und Jugendlichen herbeiführenden könnte.Das Thema Bildung wird erst seit den erschreckenden Ergebnissen der Pisa-Studien wieder vermehrt diskutiert. In der Wissenschaft wurde eine Vielzahl an Publikationen veröffentlicht, die sich mit dieser Thematik beschäftigen. Allerdings vollzieht sich seit 2006 keine weitere Annäherung zwischen den Bildungsabschlüssen von deutschen Jugendlichen und denen mit Migrationshintergrund. Seither hat die Politik eine Vielzahl an Umstellungen im Bildungssystem getätigt, wie zum Beispiel den G8-Zug, Ganztagsschulen oder Gesamtschulen. Das Problem, dass Kinder mit Migrationshintergrund immer noch schlechtere formale Bildungsabschlüsse erhalten als deutsche Kinder, besteht allerdings weiterhin.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2016 im Fachbereich Pädagogik - Schulpädagogik, Note: 1,3, Universität Bielefeld, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In meiner Arbeit möchte ich zunächst klären was eigentlich mit Geschlecht gemeint ist und warum sich Frauen wie Frauen und Männer wie Männer benehmen. Weiter möchte ich herausfinden in wie fern das Geschlecht eines Kindes bereits im Schulkontext thematisiert wird, ob Kinder geschlechtsspezifisch erzogen werden und welche Folgen dies haben kann, auch in Bezug auf Mädchen und ihr Interesse für Mathematik. Zum Schluss möchte ich noch ein Vorschulkonzept vorstellen, welches den Kindern ausreichend Freiraum lassen möchte damit sie ihre wirklichen Interessen entdecken können, auch wenn es Mathe ist. Mädchen und Jungen haben eben verschiedene Interessen, wird unbekümmert gesagt. Das Menschen verschiedene Interessen haben und nicht jeder eine Vorliebe für Mathe haben kann ist verständlich, aber wie kommt es zu diesen signifikanten Unterschieden zwischen den Geschlechtern? Das Geschlecht eines Menschen hat keinen Einfluss auf dessen Intelligenz (oder auf dessen Mathematik-Verständnis) und es sollte auch niemanden daran hindern das zu tun was ihm oder ihr gefällt. Jedoch werden wir in unserem alltäglichen tun, bei großen und kleinen Entscheidungen immer wieder von unserem Geschlecht beeinflusst, bzw. davon was mit dem jeweiligen Geschlecht in unserer Gesellschaft verbunden wird. An Frauen und an Männer werden im Leben unterschiedliche Erwartungen gestellt und sie werden unterschiedlich attribuiert: Frauen sind warmherzig, mitfühlend, zurückhaltend und Männer sind stark, aggressiv und rational. Männer sind Jäger und haben die Familie zu versorgen, Frauen hingegen bleiben zuhause, kümmern sich um den Haushalt und um die Kinder. Solche und ähnliche Ansichten waren im letzten Jahrhundert noch weit verbreitet (sind es teilweise immer noch) und waren teilweise gesetzlich verankert. Aber was bedeutet es denn nun ein Mann oder eine Frau zu sein, was bedeutet Geschlecht und welche Auswirkungen hat es auf uns? Sind wir nicht alle einfach nur Menschen, müssen wir uns entsprechend unserer Geschlechtsmerkmale verhalten oder ist sind das doch nur Körperlichkeiten und haben mit unserem sozialen Wesen nichts zu tun?

Argues for the necessity of a new ethos for middle-class white anti-racism.

What began as a neighborhood party during the summer of 1942 led to the largest mass murder trial in California's history. After young Jose Diaz was found murdered near Los Angeles' Sleepy Lagoon reservoir, 600 Mexican Americans were rounded up by the police, 24 were indicted, and 17 were convicted. But thanks to the efforts of crusading lawyers, Hollywood celebrities, and Mexican Americans throughout the nation, all 17 convictions were thrown out in an appellate decision that cited lack of evidence, coerced testimony, deprivation of the right to counsel, and judicial misconduct.Mark Weitz chronicles the Sleepy Lagoon case (People v. Zammora) from the streets of L.A.'s Mexican-American neighborhoods to the criminal courts, through the appeals process, and to the ultimate release of the convicted. In the process, Weitz opens a window on the uneasy world of Hispanic-Anglo relations, which, exacerbated by an influx of Mexican immigrants, had simmered beneath the surface in California for a century and reached the boiling point by 1942. By demonstrating how an environment of hostility and fear had fostered a breakdown in the legal protections that should have been afforded to the Sleepy Lagoon defendants, Weitz also illuminates a vital episode in the evolution of defendants' rights--including the right to counsel and a fair and impartial trial.As the case unfolded, the prosecution and local media drew ominous comparisons between the supposed dangers posed by the Mexican-American defendants and the threat allegedly posed by thousands of Japanese Americans, whose sympathies had been called into question after Pearl Harbor. Weitz shows how Zammora demonstrates what it is like to literally be tried in the court of public opinion where the "opinion" has been shaped before the trial even begins.Now, as Americans once again feel threatened by outsiders--whether Islamic jihadists or illegal immigrants--Zammora provides a mirror showing us how we acted then compared to how we respond now. While much of what occurred in 1942 L.A. was unique to its time and place, Weitz's compelling narrative shows that many of the social, political, and culture issues that dominated America then are still with us today.

Nearly 60% of Muslims born in America who choose to practice Islam are African Americans. Yet their understanding of using Islam in the struggle to overcome institutional racism and its many symptoms are rarely discussed. This book explains how oppressed communities can handle and overcome oppression by seriously examining the practice of true Islam. The author analyzes the difference between what is incorrectly perceived as Islam and the way of life called Al Islam while also detailing how different prophets implemented Quranic teachings when standing against injustice. Information is then used to examine real world situations of oppression that occur in today's climate with a particular emphasis on the disadvantaged and impoverished of American society from not only a socioeconomic standpoint, but a psychological and spiritual vantage as well. Does Islam obligate its adherents to confront racial supremacy? Why have some Muslim African Americans abandoned the fight for social justice? These topics and more are addressed here.
