Titres dans Racisme et discrimination

Am 25. Mai 2020 ging ein Video um die Welt, das den Mord an George Floyd zufällig festhielt: Ein Polizist kniet neun Minuten und 29 Sekunden auf Floyds Hals und lässt auch nicht davon ab, als Floyd mehrmals ruft: "I can’t breathe" – "Ich kann nicht atmen!" Der Mord an George Floyd hat die Welt erschüttert und globale Black-Lives-Matter-Proteste gegen Rassismus und Polizeigewalt ausgelöst. In der ersten Biographie Floyds rekonstruieren die preisgekrönten Reporter Robert Samuels und Toluse Olorunnipa von der Washington Post die großen Zusammenhänge.

“The virus exposed how we live and work. It also revealed how we play, and what we lose when we have to stop.” For every kid who makes it to the NBA, thousands more seek out the pleasure and camaraderie of pick-up basketball in their local community centre or neighbourhood park. It’s a story that plays out in sport after sport–team and individual, youth and adult, men's and women's.

When the eleven- and twelve-year-olds on the Cannon Street YMCA All-Star team registered for a baseball tournament in Charleston, South Carolina, in June 1955, it put the team and the forces of integration on a collision course with segregation, bigotry, and the southern way of life. When all the White teams withdrew in protest, the Cannon Street team won the state tournament.

Before the Civil War, free African Americans and fugitive slaves crossed international borders to places like Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean in search of freedom and equality. Beacons of Liberty tells the story of how these bold migrants catalyzed contentious debates over citizenship, racial justice, and national character in the United States.

Racism is omnipresent in American life, both public and private. We are immersed in what prominent Black church leader Willie Dwayne Francois III calls white noise—the racist speech, ideas, and policies that lull us into inaction on racial justice. White noise masks racial realities and prevents constructive responses to microaggressions, structural inequality, and overt interpersonal racism. In this book, Francois calls people of all racial backgrounds to take up practices that overcome silence and inaction on race and that advance racial repair.

The two volumes of Kelley and Lewis's To Make Our World Anew integrate the work of eleven leading historians into the most up-to-date and comprehensive account available of African American history, from the first Africans brought as slaves into the Americas, right up to today's black filmmakers and politicians.

Mary Ellen Pleasant and William Henry Ellis. What do these two have in common? They were both former slaves who became millionaires. Back then, Black entrepreneurs had to worry about slave catchers and lynch mobs. Today, “microaggressions” are enough to discourage young Blacks...according to liberals. Our ancestors would be ashamed of us. They would expect more of us. Black Snowflakes provides a brand-new perspective for those Americans who still believe it is impossible for Blacks to be successful unless they get that “White man’s stamp of approval”.

Vorurteile haben wir alle! Mit dieser Erkenntnis und Botschaft geht Marius Jung auf all diejenigen zu, die niemals vorhatten, rassistisch zu sein und gerne wissen möchten, wie sich unbedarfter Rassismus vermeiden lässt. Der erfolgreiche Kabarettist und Bestsellerautor aus Köln kennt die Frage, woher er "eigentlich" komme zur Genüge und hat in seinem Leben immer wieder ausgrenzende Kommentare gehört.

"De unge løver" følger tre mænd, der kæmper hver sin kamp, mens anden verdenskrig hærger verden omkring dem. Østrigske Christian Diestl er tiltrukket af nazismens løfter om en bedre fremtid, og han er villig til at ofre jøderne for at opnå den. Men kan nazisterne holde deres løfte, og vil det være omkostningerne værd for ham? Den amerikanske jøde Noah Ackerman lider under den grove antisemitisme i den amerikanske hær, men aner ikke hvilke rædsler, der kan vente ham, hvis han ender i nazisternes udryddelseslejre.

"Himmelen er blå og luften klar som is, når to fly med kort mellemrum bryder ind i World Trade Center tvillingetårnene i New York. Mens flere millioner kun passivt kan se til, begynder 102 minutters overlevelseskamp for menneskerne i begge dødsfælder." "Massakrer og terror" skildrer nogle af de værste tilfælde i historien.

Two tragedies, the Chinese massacre of 1871 and child prostitution, sum up the troubled—and toxic—relationship between the United States of America and China. A spirited, witty book that exposes many hidden, hideous truths.

En killjoy er ikke bange for at udpege den sexisme, vold og racisme, der findes overalt i vores samfund. Og en killjoy nægter at se til i tavshed for at bevare den gode stemning. I "Killjoy manifest" opstiller feminist Sara Ahmed ti principper eller viljeserklæringer for hvad en killjoy vil (gøre eller være) eller ikke vil (gøre eller være). Sidste del af bogen består af et overlevelseskit for killjoys. Sara Ahmed (f. 1969) er en britisk-australsk akademiker og aktivist.

Even in the midst of a nationwide surge of bias and incidents against them, Asians from coast to coast have quietly assumed mastery of the nation's technical and intellectual machinery and become essential American workers. Yet, they've been forced to do so in the face of policy proposals—written in the name of diversity—excluding them from the upper ranks of the elite. Journalist Kenny Xu traces elite America's longstanding unease about a minority potentially upending them.

"Men det værste var, at mama ikke havde andre at betro sig til og øse sin sorg ud over end mig. Alle de gange, hvor jeg sad og læste lektier for den ene bordende i køkkenet, og hun sad og arbejdede ved den anden bordende. Selvfølgelig var hun lige så fortvivlet som jeg. Men mens jeg altid bar det hele for mig selv, kunne hun bedst finde lindring ved at snakke om det. Så hun jamrede og beklagede sig og kunne ikke forstå, hvad hun havde gjort, siden hun skulle straffes sådan.

The War after the War is a lively military history and overview of Reconstruction that illuminates the new war fought immediately after the American Civil War. This Southern Civil War was distinct from the American Civil War and fought between southerners for control of state governments. In the South, African American and white unionists formed a successful biracial coalition that elected state and local officials. White supremacist insurrectionaries battled with these coalitions and won the Southern Civil War, successfully overthrowing democratically elected governments.

From the editor of the award-winning Children of Manzanar, Heather C. Lindquist, and Edgar Award winner Naomi Hirahara comes a nuanced account of the “Resettlement”: the relatively unexamined period when ordinary people of Japanese ancestry, having been unjustly imprisoned during World War II, were finally released from custody. Given $25 and a one-way bus ticket to make a new life, some ventured east to Denver and Chicago to start over, while others returned to Southern California only to face discrimination and an alarming scarcity of housing and jobs.

Savannah Shange explores the potential for reconciling the Robeson Justice Academy's marginalization of Black students with its sincere pursuit of multiracial uplift and solidarity. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork and six years of experience teaching at the school, Shange outlines how it fails its students and the community because it operates within a space predicated on antiblackness. Seeing San Francisco as a social laboratory for how Black communities survive the end of their worlds, Shange argues for abolition over revolution or reform as the needed path toward Black freedom.

France Winddance Twine provides the first book by a sociologist that "lifts the Silicon veil" to provide firsthand accounts of inequality and opportunity in the tech ecosystem. With a sharp eye for detail and compelling testimonials from industry insiders, Twine shows how the technology industry remains rigged against women, and especially Black, Latinx, and Native American women from working class backgrounds. From recruitment and hiring practices, to social and educational segregation, to academic prestige hierarchies, Twine reveals how women are blocked from entering this industry.
