Book Description
The divisions within colonized groups are often manifestations of a system designed to perpetuate racism and discrimination. Hierarchical systems of oppression have historically been created to maintain confusion and division. Whats more, media images have often been used as tools to support a colonial agenda so that certain groups remain under subjugationa type of psychological warfare intended to decrease the chances of resistance. Responding to this context, The Racist Social Order, Mind Control, and African Americans presents a collection of revolutionary poetry and historical facts designed to evoke critical thinking regarding issues of social inequities. Author Yolanda Webb shares her thoughts and reflections in an attempt to create solutions designed to deconstruct these inequities, a necessity if we are to move toward a more democratic society. She also writes on psychology inspired by research and featuring historical facts relating to a racial hierarchy intended to create division among colonized groups. Speaking in a type of cross-cultural dialogue that provokes both reflection and cognitive dissonance, this collection encourages resistance in order to allow the beginning of the creation of pathways for improvements for future generations.

Racial Resentment in the Political Mind
Author: Darren W. Davis
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022681484X
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 364
Book Description
A thought-provoking look at how racial resentment, rather than racial prejudice alone, motivate a growing resistance among whites to improve the circumstances faced by racial minorities. In Racial Resentment in the Political Mind, Darren W. Davis and David C. Wilson explore the idea that racial resentment, rather than simply racial prejudice alone, is the basis for the growing resistance among whites toward efforts to improve the circumstances faced by minorities. The authors argue that there is a growing sentiment among whites that they are "losing-out" and "being cut in line" by Black people and other minorities, as reflected in an emphasis on diversity and inclusion, multiculturalism, trigger warnings, and political correctness, an increase in African Americans occupying powerful positions, and the election of Barack Obama. The culprits, as many white people see it, are undeserving people of color, who are perceived to benefit unfairly from, and take advantage of, resources that come at whites' expense. This rewarding of unearned resources is seen as a challenge to the status quo. Yet, as Davis and Wilson reveal, such reactions may not stem only from racial prejudice or hatred; instead, they may be a defensive posture, resulting from threats to whites' sense of justice, entitlement, and status. Their research finds racial resentment, stemming from beliefs about justice, fairness, and deservingness makes ordinary citizens appear racist. Informative and thought-provoking, Racial Resentment in the Political Mind adds a much-needed dimension to a timely topic.

White Fragility
Author: Dr. Robin DiAngelo
Publisher: Beacon Press
ISBN: 0807047422
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
The New York Times best-selling book exploring the counterproductive reactions white people have when their assumptions about race are challenged, and how these reactions maintain racial inequality. In this “vital, necessary, and beautiful book” (Michael Eric Dyson), antiracist educator Robin DiAngelo deftly illuminates the phenomenon of white fragility and “allows us to understand racism as a practice not restricted to ‘bad people’ (Claudia Rankine). Referring to the defensive moves that white people make when challenged racially, white fragility is characterized by emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt, and by behaviors including argumentation and silence. These behaviors, in turn, function to reinstate white racial equilibrium and prevent any meaningful cross-racial dialogue. In this in-depth exploration, DiAngelo examines how white fragility develops, how it protects racial inequality, and what we can do to engage more constructively.

Critique of Black Reason
Author: Achille Mbembe
Publisher: Duke University Press
ISBN: 0822373238
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
In Critique of Black Reason eminent critic Achille Mbembe offers a capacious genealogy of the category of Blackness—from the Atlantic slave trade to the present—to critically reevaluate history, racism, and the future of humanity. Mbembe teases out the intellectual consequences of the reality that Europe is no longer the world's center of gravity while mapping the relations among colonialism, slavery, and contemporary financial and extractive capital. Tracing the conjunction of Blackness with the biological fiction of race, he theorizes Black reason as the collection of discourses and practices that equated Blackness with the nonhuman in order to uphold forms of oppression. Mbembe powerfully argues that this equation of Blackness with the nonhuman will serve as the template for all new forms of exclusion. With Critique of Black Reason, Mbembe offers nothing less than a map of the world as it has been constituted through colonialism and racial thinking while providing the first glimpses of a more just future.

Intersectionality
Author: Patricia Hill Collins
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0745684521
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
The concept of intersectionality has become a hot topic in academic and activist circles alike. But what exactly does it mean, and why has it emerged as such a vital lens through which to explore how social inequalities of race, class, gender, sexuality, age, ability and ethnicity shape one another? In this new book Patricia Hill Collins and Sirma Bilge provide a much-needed, introduction to the field of intersectional knowledge and praxis. They analyze the emergence, growth and contours of the concept and show how intersectional frameworks speak to topics as diverse as human rights, neoliberalism, identity politics, immigration, hip hop, global social protest, diversity, digital media, Black feminism in Brazil, violence and World Cup soccer. Accessibly written and drawing on a plethora of lively examples to illustrate its arguments, the book highlights intersectionality's potential for understanding inequality and bringing about social justice oriented change. Intersectionality will be an invaluable resource for anyone grappling with the main ideas, debates and new directions in this field.
