Titres dans Racisme et discrimination

In 1947, when this pamphlet was written, the ghastly memory of the Holocaust was fresh in the public mind. The author explores this climatic catastrophe of racial persecution to reveal it not as an anomalous occurrence, but rather as the evidence of a form of institutionalized prejudice which had operated for more than a millennium. “Humanity,” McCabe argues, “will enter into full and friendly cooperation only when the myths disappear and pure humanism is the base of man’s standard of conduct.”

Have you ever encountered a racial incident and struggled with how to process it or cope with the aftermath? Chased takes an in-depth look at racism in America and breaks it down to its simplest form that for everyone can understand and see how it truly affects all of society. This book exposes those relationships, environments, and other external sources that form and shape our views and opinions on race, and provides you with relevant sustainable solutions to combat it.

Americans are slowly waking up to the dire effects of racial profiling, police brutality, and mass incarceration, especially in disadvantaged neighborhoods and communities of color. Crook County bursts open the courthouse doors to reveal a world of punishment determined by race, not offense. Nicole Gonzalez Van Cleve spent ten years working in and investigating the largest criminal courthouse in the country, Chicago-Cook County, and she takes listeners inside our so-called halls of justice to witness the types of everyday racial abuses that fester within the courts, often in plain sight.

In the six years since its initial publication, The Color of Law, “the most forceful argument ever published on how federal, state, and local governments gave rise to and reinforced neighborhood segregation” (William Julius Wilson), has become a landmark work that—through its nearly one million copies sold—has helped to define the fractious age in which we live. Aware that 21st-century segregation continues to promote entrenched inequality, Richard Rothstein has now teamed with housing policy expert Leah Rothstein to write Just Action, a blueprint for concerned citizens and community leaders.

The ‘culture wars' have generated ferocious argument, but little clarity. This book takes the long view, explaining the real origins of ‘race' in Western thought, and tracing its path from those beginnings in the Enlightenment all the way to our own fractious world. In doing so, leading thinker Kenan Malik upends many assumptions underpinning today's heated debates around race, culture, whiteness and privilege.

KVINDERNE PÅ SPROGØ handler om et politisk eksperiment, der strækker sig over årene 1923 til 1961. På den lille ø Sprogø i Storebælt placerer man, hvad man kalder ‘moralsk åndssvage’ kvinder - dvs. kvinder, der vurderes som svagt begavede og kvinder, der opfører sig ‘letfærdigt og løsagtigt’. Herude omgivet og indespærret af kilometervis af åbent hav vil man genopdrage kvinderne. Her er man sikker på, at de ikke får børn. Børn, man frygter vil ligge samfundet økonomisk til last og undergrave befolkningens arvemasse med deres dårlige gener.

TANDEKSPERIMENTET PÅ VIPEHOLM handler om, da man i Sverige i slutningen af 1940'erne gav 436 psykisk udviklingshæmmede beboere på institutionen Vipeholm sukker i deres måltider for at undersøge sammenhængen mellem indtag af sukker og kariesaktivitet. Resultaterne har haft stor betydning for tandlægevidenskaben, men det havde også store konsekvenser for de involverede.

DR. SHOCK OG AVERSIONSPROJEKTET handler om den canadiske psykiater Aubrey Levin, som i 1970'erne og 1980'erne forsøgte at "kurere" homoseksuelle mænd og kvinder i den Sydafrikanske hær. Dette skete med voldsomme og krænkende metoder, blandt andet ved at give dem elektrisk stød og mod deres vilje udsætte dem for kønsskifteoperationer. Videnskaben har altid eksperimenteret på mennesker, og resultaterne har haft stor betydning for meget af det, vi i dag ved om menneskekroppen og sindet.

TUSKEGEE-EKSPERIMENTET handler om, da det amerikanske sundhedsvæsens afdeling for kønssygdomme i 1930'erne får en idé til et behandlingsprogram for syfilis. Ideen om behandlingsprogrammet udvikler sig dog hurtigt i en helt anden foruroligende retning og bliver til et omfattende videnskabeligt eksperiment. Over de næste fire årtier deltager 600 personer i studiet. Alle deltagere i studiet er fattige afroamerikanske mænd fra den lille by Tuskegee i Alabama, USA, hvoraf omkring to-tredjedele har kønssygdommen syfilis.

1974. A 22-year-old Jacqui French stands for a photograph in Omaha, Nebraska, thousands of miles from home. Behind a carefree smile lies a fierce hope, fuelled by the promise of a new beginning and the tapestry of opportunity an America of Gloria Steinem, Dorothy Pitman Hughes, and the newly passed Roe v. Wade, appeared to offer. The world was changing, and women’s fortunes seemed to be changing with it. It was this photo of her mother, discovered by accident decades later, that set Marisa on the path to this book.

The government constantly attacks unions, CEOs devote endless time and resources to undermining them, and many unions themselves are stuck in the past. Despite this, inspiring work is happening all the time, from fast food strikes and climate change campaigning to the modernization of unions for the digital age. Speaking to academics, experts and grassroots organizers from TUC, UNISON, ACORN, IWGB and more, Eve Livingston explores how young workers are organizing to demand fair workplaces, and reimagines what an inclusive union movement that represents us all might look like.

The death of George Floyd on May 25, 2020, and the ensuing trial of Derek Chauvin for murder a year later has rubbed raw the bloodiest stain on the United States’ history and its world reputation. The nine minutes and 29 seconds during which Chauvin’s knee crushed the spark of life out of Floyd was not unusual in the history of the United States. In roughly two centuries, Blacks have achieved nominal freedom. But, as this book’s opening chapter and expert essays that follow indicate, freedom has been conditional based on inequity of wealth, social, and legal discrimination.

WER HAT DIE MACHT ZU HASSEN? – Erkundung eines politischen Gefühls. Der Hass, dieses knirschende, zersetzende Gefühl, ist allgegenwärtig. Er brüllt von den Straßen oder flüstert in gutbürgerlicher Feindseligkeit. Er wächst in Parlamentsreden, Querköpfen und Kinderzimmern, und ganz bestimmt nicht im Verborgenen, auch wenn viele ihn gerne dorthin verdammen würden. Şeyda Kurt holt den Hass raus aus der Verbannung und begibt sich auf die Spuren seines widerständigen Potentials.

Wokeness ist ein Kampfbegriff geworden. Das gilt sowohl für die Befürworter wie die Gegner einer Einstellung, die sich selbst als "wach" oder "aufmerksam" bezeichnet. Es gibt wenig sachlich begründete Auseinandersetzungen, dafür umso mehr Empörung. In diesem Buch werden zentrale Elemente von Wokeness kritisch geprüft: der Vorwurf der kulturellen Aneignung, die Forderung nach geschlechtergerechter Sprache, die Rede von strukturellem Rassismus, das Instrument der Cancel Culture und die Einführung einer geschlechtlichen Diversität.

For the last three decades Gary Younge has had a ringside seat during the biggest events and with the most significant personalities to impact the black diaspora: accompanying Nelson Mandela on his first election campaign, joining revellers on the southside of Chicago during Obama's victory, entering New Orleans days after hurricane Katrina or interviewing Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Maya Angelou and Stormzy. He has witnessed how much change is possible and the power of systems to thwart those aspirations.
