Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In contrast with much of urban sociology that has followed Black experience in large, diverse, urban, non-Southern cities like Chicago, New York and Los Angeles, this case study focuses on a small, progressive Midwestern city, Madison, Wisconsin and its surrounding county (Dane). It also attempts to offer a theoretical analysis of racism that reflects the gap between how it is practiced in this context and the classic Southern forms of white supremacy. It builds on prior research on Dane County that revealed highly racialized disparities in critical indicators of wellbeing, some of the largest of such differences in the nation. Explaining the paradox of finding such racialized poverty and marginalization where we might least expect it - in such an affluent, politically progressive place - is the core challenge for this study. Taking a historical approach, I examine the growth and development of the Black community in Madison during the twentieth century and into the first decade of the twenty-first, using Milwaukee as a comparison. I identify three ideologies that developed in Madison and Wisconsin more broadly: civic nationalism, Northern racial liberalism, and northern racism. In my first empirical chapter, I examine the timing of Black migration and how white residents of Wisconsin responded. I found that the civic nationalism that the state's government and its citizens had embraced and the immigrant diversity of early statehood gave way to an exclusive definition of Northern European Christians as deserving to be Americans. In Madison, Jews and Italians experienced institutionalized marginalization and discrimination alongside Black citizens. My second empirical chapter examines the racial tensions birthed from changing demography, focusing on the development of housing policy and the pursuit of Fair Housing as part of the civil rights struggle, emphasizing the differences in how this developed in Madison and Milwaukee. This chapter highlights the ways that whites used organizations and networks, law and policy, and their own mobility to create and police racial boundaries in neighborhoods and communities in order to maintain their preferred racial demography in the face of both white and Black migrations. The third empirical chapter continues the focus on white backlash against the growing Black population and the residential segregation it produced but considers how it was expressed in the organization of the state's education system. This chapter highlights how Chapter 220 and Open Enrollment policies came into existence through racial struggles and how both local- and state-level education policies maintain white access to schools that have few Black students at the expense of schools that serve larger numbers of Black students. The broader argument of the dissertation is that choice is a critical component of democratic citizenship according to civic nationalism, but Northern racial liberalism permits white citizens to monopolize choice for their benefit, at the expense of Black citizens. In Madison, specifically, and Wisconsin generally, policies and practices facilitate the exercise of white choice in service of preserving the racial order. Northern racism is a historically constructed denial of equal access to citizenship rights to Black residents and a core factor facilitating the production and maintenance of racial inequality in contemporary times.

Book excerpt: New diversity style guide helps journalists write with authority and accuracy about a complex, multicultural world A companion to the online resource of the same name, The Diversity Style Guide raises the consciousness of journalists who strive to be accurate. Based on studies, news reports and style guides, as well as interviews with more than 50 journalists and experts, it offers the best, most up-to-date advice on writing about underrepresented and often misrepresented groups. Addressing such thorny questions as whether the words Black and White should be capitalized when referring to race and which pronouns to use for people who don't identify as male or female, the book helps readers navigate the minefield of names, terms, labels and colloquialisms that come with living in a diverse society. The Diversity Style Guide comes in two parts. Part One offers enlightening chapters on Why is Diversity So Important; Implicit Bias; Black Americans; Native People; Hispanics and Latinos; Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders; Arab Americans and Muslim Americans; Immigrants and Immigration; Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation; People with Disabilities; Gender Equality in the News Media; Mental Illness, Substance Abuse and Suicide; and Diversity and Inclusion in a Changing Industry.

Brings together guidance from more than 20 organizations and style guides into a single handy reference book The Diversity Style Guide is first and foremost a guide for journalists, but it is also an important resource for journalism and writing instructors, as well as other media professionals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To be poor, working-class, or a person of color in the United States often means bearing a disproportionate share of the country’s environmental problems. Starting with the premise that all Americans have a basic right to live in a healthy environment, Dumping in Dixie chronicles the efforts of five African American communities, empowered by the civil rights movement, to link environmentalism with issues of social justice. In the third edition, Bullard speaks to us from the front lines of the environmental justice movement about new developments in environmental racism, different organizing strategies, and success stories in the struggle for environmental equity.
Download or read book Voting and Migration Patterns in the U S written by George Hawley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-07-31 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, political scientists and journalists have taken a great interest in the question of whether the American electorate is "sorting" into communities based on partisan affiliation. That is, there is concern that American communities are becoming increasingly politically homogenous and this is because Americans are considering politics explicitly when determining where to live. Academics have since debated the degree to which this is a real phenomenon and, if it is, whether it has important normative implications. However, little empirical research has examined which factors turned some closely-contested counties into Republican enclaves and others into Democratic strongholds. Examining individual and aggregate data and employing a large number of statistical methods, George Hawley explores the increasing political homogenization of small geographic units and explains the causal mechanisms driving this phenomenon as well as its consequences for individual political attitudes and behavior among residents residing in these geographic units. He argues that some partisans are self-selecting into communities of likeminded partisans, causing some areas to become overwhelmingly Republican and others to become overwhelmingly Democratic. The book also notes that the migratory patterns of Republicans and Democrats differ in systematic ways for other reasons, due to the different demographic and economic characteristics of these partisan groups. At a time when many studies argue that a large percentage of the electorate is self-selecting into communities based on their political preferences, this bookshelf essential presents a much needed account on the different migratory patterns of Republicans and Democrats and how these patterns are shaping the geography of American politics.

Download or read book Segregation by Design written by Jessica Trounstine and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-11-15 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Segregation by Design draws on more than 100 years of quantitative and qualitative data from thousands of American cities to explore how local governments generate race and class segregation. Starting in the early twentieth century, cities have used their power of land use control to determine the location and availability of housing, amenities (such as parks), and negative land uses (such as garbage dumps). The result has been segregation - first within cities and more recently between them. Documenting changing patterns of segregation and their political mechanisms, Trounstine argues that city governments have pursued these policies to enhance the wealth and resources of white property owners at the expense of people of color and the poor. Contrary to leading theories of urban politics, local democracy has not functioned to represent all residents. The result is unequal access to fundamental local services - from schools, to safe neighborhoods, to clean water.
Download or read book Encyclopedia of Community Corrections written by Shannon M. Barton-Bellessa and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to recognition in the late 1960s and early 1970s that traditional incarceration was not working, alternatives to standard prison settings were sought and developed. One of those alternatives -- community-based corrections -- had been conceived in the 1950s as a system that might prove more progressive, humane, and effective, particularly with people who had committed less serious criminal offenses and for whom incarceration, with constant exposure to serious offenders and career criminals, might prove more damaging than rehabilitative. The alternative of community corrections has evolved to become a substantial part of the criminal justice and correctional system, spurred in recent years not so much by a progressive, humane philosophy as by dramatically increasing prison populations, court orders to "fix" overextended prison settings, and an economic search for cost savings. Encyclopedia of Community Corrections explores all aspects of community corrections, from its philosophical foundation to its current inception. Features & benefits: 150 signed entries (each with cross references and further readings) are organized in A-to-Z fashion to give students easy access to the full range of topics in community corrections; a thematic reader's guide in the front matter groups entries by broad topical or thematic areas to make it easy for users to find related entries at a glance; a chronology in the back matter helps students put individual events into broader historical context; a glossary provides students with concise definitions to key terms in the field; a resource guide to classic books, journals, and web sites (along with the further readings accompanying each entry) guides students to further resources in their research journeys; and appendix offers statistics from the Bureau of Justice.
Download or read book Our Minds on Freedom written by Shannon Frystak and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2009-12 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our Minds on Freedom examines the role of women as organizers and leaders in the black struggle for equality in Louisiana. Using gender as a basic organizing principle, in combination with other systems of inequality -- race and class -- it challenges the notion that "men led, women organized," and places female activism, regardless of gendered expectations, at the center. The author concludes that women were not passive participants in the Louisiana civil rights movement, but leaders and heroines in their own right.
Download or read book The Chief Diversity Officer written by Damon A. Williams and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume addresses the role of chief diversity officers as coordinating and integrating diversity leaders in higher education and other sectors.Having established in a companion volume the parameters for an effective diversity strategy, the authors address such questions as: What is a chief diversity officer? How might we create dynamic chief diversity officer infrastructures? What models of CDO structure exist in the academy? What misperceptions often confound the work of officers and the institutions they work within? What key competencies are necessary to lead as a CDO? How does the CDO role compare across higher education, non-profit, and corporate sectors? And how might the role serve as an important contributor to a collaborative vision for change and transformation in the academy?This book begins by delineating the evolution of the chief diversity officer role in the academy. Drawing on extensive qualitative and quantitative research on CDOs conducted for the purposes of this volume, it describes how the scope and responsibilities are variously defined at the organizations where the position has been created, and offers insights into the complexities and challenges of the role.On the basis of this data and the literature on organizational design and change management, the authors define the requisite skills, knowledge and background to be effective, review the alternative organizational and governance structures under which CDOs operate, and in so doing present the Chief Diversity Officer Development Framework as a basis for recruiting candidates, for structuring the position to succeed, and for providing prospective and incumbent CDOs with a realistic sense of the scope of the role.This title is also available in a set with its companion volume, Strategic Diversity Leadership.
