Race, Post-Race
•
0 likes•566 views
The talk examined the persistence of race in purportedly postracial times. Why do racial logics continue to underpin disparities in social, economic, cultural and political opportunities despite official commitments to the eradication of racism, not only within individual states but across them? Alana Lentin built on Barnor Hesse’s invocation of a ‘raceocracy’ which rules performatively and as a system for the management of human life. Zoning in on the global laboratory for the ‘production of horror’ that is the Australian system of mandatory detention for asylum seekers, she examined the co-dependency between the maintenance of the racialized border and professed commitments to a postracial future, a division which entrenches a divide between purified inside and the contaminants that lurk outside the contemporary racial state.

Anna Julia Cooper advocated for black women's education and addressed the dual challenges of racism and sexism they faced.
paper-8 cultural studies
The document discusses the novel "The Women of Brewster Place" by Gloria Naylor. It summarizes that the novel depicts the struggles of seven African American women living on Brewster Place, a dead-end street. It then discusses some of the main characters, including Mattie Michel who is a consistent character and surrogate mother figure, and Etta Mae Johnson who is constantly searching for love and stability. The document also provides historical context about the civil rights era when the novel is set.
A Culture of Silence
This document discusses the history of sexual violence against African American women from slavery through the 20th century. It describes how slave owners routinely raped enslaved women and promoted stereotypes like "Jezebel" to justify this abuse. Even after emancipation, many black women faced continued sexual assault and had little legal recourse. They developed a "culture of silence" out of necessity, though figures like Rosa Parks secretly fought against this violence. The document suggests this history of abuse and silencing of black women's experiences of sexual assault still impacts their treatment today.
A CULTURE OF SILENCE: SEXUAL VIOLENCE IN THE LIVES OF AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN
The document discusses the historical and ongoing sexual abuse and silencing of Black women in America. It details how slavery established patterns of rape and sexual assault of enslaved Black women. The auction block and stereotypes like Jezebel further dehumanized Black women and justified their abuse. Over 50% of enslaved women were sexually assaulted. This abuse continued post-emancipation under Jim Crow. Black women developed a "culture of silence" for survival and protection. The document also discusses how the legal system has failed to protect Black women and how myths in the Black community discourage reporting abuse.
Finalprojectdillon
This document discusses genocide and provides examples of genocide throughout history. It defines genocide as the deliberate killing of a large group of people from a specific ethnicity, race, nationality or religion. The Holocaust is used as a prominent example of genocide where over 11 million Jews and others were killed by Nazi Germany. Genocides often happen during times of crisis and one group is blamed for problems. The ongoing crisis in Darfur, Sudan is discussed as a current example of genocide where over 400,000 people have been killed and millions displaced since 2003.
Nelson Mandela...
Dr. Michael J. O’Connell noted, Nelson Mandela was an effective revolutionary, perhaps even great. He spent nearly a third of his life in prison for the cause of destroying apartheid. This has the face of a noble cause versus an entirely ignoble system of racial inequality.
Powerpoint Genocide
Genocide is defined as the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group. Examples given include the Holocaust where Hitler killed Jews and the Armenian Genocide where nearly 1.8 million people died. The document expresses the opinion that genocide is unnecessary and should not be done.
Discussions on religious slaughter
The document discusses the debate around religious slaughter methods and whether animals should be stunned before death. Some religious leaders argue that conventional stunning is torture, while scientific evidence supports stunning. Both sides attempt to support their arguments with examples and opinions. The discussion focuses only on slaughter for consumption and ignores how animals are dealt with during outbreaks, when they have sometimes been bulldozed alive due to a lack of humane solutions. The document suggests investigating whether a new non-gaseous stunning method could help address mass depopulation needs during outbreaks.

La mitad del cielo: Opresión hacía oportunidad de las mujeres en todo el mundoThe shame of war. Sexual violence against women and girls in conflict
This chapter discusses the widespread issue of sexual violence against women and girls during armed conflicts. It notes that while this type of violence has occurred throughout history, data from conflicts in the last decade show it may have become more prevalent. Recent reports indicate over 200 women were sexually assaulted in just five weeks in a Darfur camp. During violence in the Republic of Congo in 1998, around 2,000 women sought medical care for sexual violence and 10% reported rape-related pregnancies, though the actual number of rapes was estimated to be closer to 5,000. The chapter examines how the nature of war has changed and how sexual violence is now being more openly discussed and reported on.
Xenophobia Talk
Xenophobia and discrimination against immigrants is driven by poverty and lack of economic opportunity rather than genuine security concerns. While countries try to restrict immigration through harsh policies like deportation and detention camps, this fails to address the root causes of migration and exacerbates tensions. A more just and compassionate solution lies in promoting development, poverty alleviation, and political/economic reforms in places that migrants originate from.
Sexual Violence Against Women and Girls in War
This document discusses the widespread issue of sexual violence against women and girls during armed conflicts and in post-conflict settings. It provides statistics showing tens of thousands of cases of war-related rape in Bosnia, Kosovo, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. Women and children make up the majority of victims in modern conflicts. Sexual violence is used systematically to destabilize communities, quell resistance, and advance ethnic cleansing through forced impregnation and HIV transmission. After conflicts, risks of violence continue during flight, in refugee camps, and women may turn to exploitation like prostitution due to rejection and lack of prospects. Sexual violence has immense short and long-term health impacts for survivors.

Black history in the USA
The first Black people in the USA came from Africa as slaves, brought over in horrible conditions on ships. They were owned by white masters and faced terrible treatment, though some escaped on the Underground Railroad. The Civil War ended slavery, but Black people still faced widespread discrimination through segregation and lack of equal rights for over a century. The Civil Rights Movement fought for integration and equality, led by figures like Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks. While laws banned discrimination and a Black president was elected, racial issues including police brutality continue to this day through movements like Black Lives Matter.

Selma, Alabama was the site of Bloody Sunday in 1965 when peaceful protestors marching for voting rights were attacked by state troopers as they crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge. On the 50th anniversary of Bloody Sunday, thousands gathered in Selma to commemorate the event and protest continued violence against black bodies. While lynchings and other violence declined in the 20th century, the war on drugs and police shootings of unarmed black men like Michael Brown and Tamir Rice show that systemic racism and threats to black lives persist. Protestors hope activism and awareness of victims of racial violence will drive continued progress toward equal justice and protection under the law for all.
Race & media portrayal
This document discusses racism and stereotypical portrayals of minorities in media. It notes that when thinking of criminals, many envision male minorities. Stereotypes in media representation create predator/prey situations where minorities are always prey. Historical movies often depicted blacks as foolish or criminals, perpetuating racist stereotypes. While some modern movies combat racism, media on the whole still commonly portrays minorities in subservient or criminal roles compared to whites. The document argues racism in media portrayal still exists today and will be difficult to fully eradicate.
The 1906 Atlanta Race Riot
In September 1906, racial tensions in Atlanta exploded into a violent race riot that lasted four days. White mobs randomly attacked African Americans, pulling people from trolleys and barbershops and killing at least 25 black residents.

The riot polarized race relations further and led hundreds of African Americans to leave the city.

Abraham Lincoln has the reputation of being the key person in endi.docx
Abraham Lincoln has the reputation of being the key person in ending slavery in our country. Yet it appears that Lincoln held racist beliefs, as indicated in the following ex-cerpt from a speech he delivered in 1858:I will say, then, that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races; that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of making voters or jurorsde of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to inter-marry with white people . . . and in as much as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race.
234Understanding Human Behavior and the Social EnvironmentSuch a statement needs to be viewed in its historical context. Our country was more racist years ago than it is today. Lincoln, who was in the vanguard of moving for greater equality for African Americans, was also socialized by his culture to have racist attitudes. (The impact of culture on individuals was discussed in Chapter 1.)A PerspectiveNearly every time we turn on the evening news, we see ethnic and racial conflict—riots, beatings, murders, and civil wars. In recent years we have seen clashes resulting in bloody shed in areas ranging from Afghanistan to Iraq, from Syria to Israel, and from the United States to South America. Practically every nation with more than one ethnic group has had to deal with ethnic conflict. The oppression and exploitation of one ethnic group by another is particularly ironic in democratic nations, considering these societies claim to cherish freedom, equality, and justice. In reality, the dominant group in all societ-ies that controls the political and economic institutions rarely agrees to share equally its power and wealth with other ethnic groups. Ethnocentrism and racism are factors that can adversely affect the growth and development of minority group members.Learning ObjectivesThis chapter will help prepare students toLO 1Define and describe ethnic groups, ethnocentrism, race, racism, prejudice, discrimination, oppression, and institutional discriminationLO 2Outline the sources of prejudice and discriminationLO 3Summarize the effects and costs of discrimination and oppres-sion and describe effects of discrimination on human growth and developmentLO 4Suggest strategies for advancing social and economic justiceLO 5Outline some guidelines for social work practice with racial and ethnic groupsLO 6Forecast the pattern of race and ethnic relations in the United States in the futureEP 2aEP 2bEP 2cEP 3aEP 3bLO 1 Define and Describe Ethnic Groups, Ethnocentrism, Race, Racism, Prejudice, Discrimination, Oppression, and Institutional DiscriminationEthnic Groups and EthnocentrismAn ethnic group has a sense of togetherness, a con-viction that its members form a special group, and a sense of common identity ...
The better angels of our nature
This document discusses Steven Pinker's work on the decline of violence over time. It provides an overview of Pinker's thesis that while violence has not been eliminated, humanity is currently experiencing one of the most peaceful times in history. The document outlines six major declines in violence, including the pacification process with the rise of centralized states, the civilizing process in Europe, the humanitarian revolution, the long peace after World War II among great powers, the new peace involving fewer civil wars, and various rights revolutions that reduced violence against minorities. It considers causes such as increasing wealth, literacy, commerce, and respect for human rights. Overall, the document examines Pinker's argument that increasing peace is due to both human nature's violent
African Independence Movements
The document discusses several negative consequences of European colonization in Africa, including how the creation of borders divided ethnic groups and disrupted traditional ways of life. It also examines the struggles African nations faced in establishing stable governments after independence, due to factors like ethnic divisions, lack of democratic traditions, and ongoing European economic influence. Overall, the document analyzes the long-term political and social impacts of the colonial era in Africa.
A2 Media Studies: Post colonialist Theory (2020)
The document discusses the different treatment of Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton in the British press and whether race plays a factor. It notes that Meghan faced more hostile coverage from newspapers, which some critics believe was racially motivated. Harry and Meghan have sued some newspapers and cited the press treatment as one reason they stepped back from royal duties. The document also discusses the legacy of colonialism and how representations of race in media today can still reflect beliefs from the colonial era when Europeans asserted their superiority over non-white populations.
The Censors by Luisa Peron presentation
The document provides background information on Luisa Valenzuela and analyzes two of her short stories, "The Censors" and "Papito's Story." It summarizes the plots of the two stories and discusses themes of loneliness, solidarity, struggle, and fear of government oppression in Argentina during the Dirty War military dictatorship from 1976-1983. Over 20,000 people were killed or disappeared by the secret police, and extreme censorship was imposed. The stories reflect the tense political situation and common experiences of living in fear under the dictatorship.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

For example, an early study of this disparity revealed that minorities with recurrent or metastatic cancer were less likely to have adequate analgesia. Racial disparities in pain management have been recorded in the treatment of migraines and back pain, cancer care in the elderly, and children with orthopedic fractures. A 2008 review of 13 years of national survey data on emergency room visits found that for a pain-related visit, an opioid prescription was more likely for white patients (31 percent) than black patients (23 percent).” –JASON SILVERSTEIN, SLATE MAGAZINE
