Epistemic Injustice
Author: Miranda Fricker
Publisher: Clarendon Press
ISBN: 0191519308
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
In this exploration of new territory between ethics and epistemology, Miranda Fricker argues that there is a distinctively epistemic type of injustice, in which someone is wronged specifically in their capacity as a knower. Justice is one of the oldest and most central themes in philosophy, but in order to reveal the ethical dimension of our epistemic practices the focus must shift to injustice. Fricker adjusts the philosophical lens so that we see through to the negative space that is epistemic injustice. The book explores two different types of epistemic injustice, each driven by a form of prejudice, and from this exploration comes a positive account of two corrective ethical-intellectual virtues. The characterization of these phenomena casts light on many issues, such as social power, prejudice, virtue, and the genealogy of knowledge, and it proposes a virtue epistemological account of testimony. In this ground-breaking book, the entanglements of reason and social power are traced in a new way, to reveal the different forms of epistemic injustice and their place in the broad pattern of social injustice.

Dreamland Burning

Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 291
Book Description
A compelling dual-narrated tale from Jennifer Latham that questions how far we've come with race relations. Some bodies won't stay buried. Some stories need to be told. When seventeen-year-old Rowan Chase finds a skeleton on her family's property, she has no idea that investigating the brutal century-old murder will lead to a summer of painful discoveries about the present and the past. Nearly one hundred years earlier, a misguided violent encounter propels seventeen-year-old Will Tillman into a racial firestorm. In a country rife with violence against blacks and a hometown segregated by Jim Crow, Will must make hard choices on a painful journey towards self discovery and face his inner demons in order to do what's right the night Tulsa burns. Through intricately interwoven alternating perspectives, Jennifer Latham's lightning-paced page-turner brings the Tulsa race riot of 1921 to blazing life and raises important questions about the complex state of US race relations--both yesterday and today.

InJUSTICE
Author: Pedro Perez
Publisher: Page Publishing Inc
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
InJUSTICE is Pedro Perez's memoir chronicling his journey from poverty to the highest position in the New York State Police. In highly personal prose, Perez poignantly expresses how he adroitly and coolly challenged his fellow troopers' racial microaggressions and ultimately gained their respect. The book sheds light on institutional racism within the force and Perez's commitment to reform. He overcame racism and microaggressions to rise through the ranks. As a state trooper, Perez sought to reconcile the seeming contradiction between his progressive values, anti-racism, and identity (Perez identifies as an Afro-Caribbean Taino) and serving in an organization that stubbornly resisted opening its ranks to Black and Latino men and women. It concludes with Perez's argument for police reform and addressing the legacy of racism affecting police relations with racialized communities. Dr. Pedro Caban - Former Vice Provost for Diversity and Educational Equity at the State University of New York and Professor & Director of Undergraduate and Graduate Studies - Department of Latin American, Caribbean & U.S. Latino Studies ******************************************************************************************* This book speaks to the individual fortitude that it takes for any person to be successful in a police culture. Add in what Pedro Perez had to navigate, around, the individual and systemic racism, that is omnipresent for non-white people in the NYSP and the United States. Factors that can make everyday task almost a miracle to accomplish for non-white people. Bravo my brother! Anthony Ellis - New York State Police Chief Inspector - Colonel (Retired) ******************************************************************************************* Pedro Perez's book, InJUSTICE, expertly combines the story of his personal journey as a New York State Trooper of Afro-Caribbean descent with his account of his tireless efforts to make the NYSP a more just, equitable institution: one that protects the rights of all New Yorkers. Perez writes with courageous honesty about how the very same law enforcement agency that lifted him and his family from poverty also challenged him to reform its institutionalized racism from within, all while doing his best to protect and serve. This is a "must read" for anyone seeking to better understand the complexities of working in law enforcement as a member of a marginalized minority. It is an urgent call of conscience to all New Yorkers and Americans to make our vital law enforcement institutions instruments of genuine justice. Dan Ornstein - rabbi and author of Cain v Abel: A Jewish Courtroom Drama. ******************************************************************************************* InJUSTICE is the unique story of how Perez escapes from a life of poverty by joining the New York State Police. As one of a handful of Puerto Rican and African American state troopers in the 1980s, the author vividly reveals the challenges that officers of color face. With intelligence, courage, humor, and a commitment to administering justice, Perez examines the tensions that arise from carrying out law enforcement in a society shaped by inequalities of class, gender, ethnicity, and race, while also sharing a moving personal story. Barbara Smith - Author, The Truth That Never Hurts: Writings on Race, Gender, and Freedom ******************************************************************************************* WOW! Pedro Perez' memoir is an inspiring account of one man's grappling with (internally as well as externally) issues underlying injustice. Throughout his journey from childhood in Lower East Side Manhattan to the highest ranks of the New York State Troopers, Pedro Perez encounters all types of injustice including racism, gender bias, and poverty. His unique story of attempting systemic change from within while experiencing the harmful effects of these injustices is nothing short of heroic. The brutal honesty in this book is both refreshing and intimidating. It is not simply a call for change, but a true account of one man answering that call. Will you join him? Kevin P.
