Download or read book THE END OF RACISM IN AMERICA written by Fredrick Douglas Richardson Jr and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2024-02-27 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book, “The End of Racism In America,” traces the monster called racism, from the day “Junior” was born, in 1939, and documents thereafter, the horrendous effort put forth, for the greater part of “Junior’s” life, to assure him a place in the basement of the greatest nation on the face of the earth: America. When “Junior” moved from his native Alabama rural community called Nymph, where he was one of twelve children who lived in abject poverty, he located to the big city of Mobile, AL. He soon discovered he was doomed to second class citizenship, simply based on his back skin. In fact, laws guaranteed his inability to compete with whites in any segment of society. This book will show that “Junior” overcame every obstacle intended to assure him a lifetime of second-class citizenship, and rose up to become a mighty leader, the third highest ranking elected official of the City of Mobile. You will see that “Junior” was haunted most of his life over America’s false notion that he was born innately inferior to others, simply based on his black skin. You will see that “Junior” graduated from many schools of higher learning, including the University of South Alabama; while on a mission to find evidence prove to the world he was equal to any human on planet earth. After traveling the world over, becoming an avid student of the Bible, and majored in history, he is, in his book, offering to America, a foolproof formula, to end the very notion of racism in America, in his lifetime. He is 84.

Download or read book Passing to Am rica written by Thomas A. Abercrombie and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2019-07-16 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1803 in the colonial South American city of La Plata, Doña Martina Vilvado y Balverde presented herself to church and crown officials to denounce her husband of more than four years, Don Antonio Yta, as a “woman in disguise.” Forced to submit to a medical inspection that revealed a woman’s body, Don Antonio confessed to having been María Yta, but continued to assert his maleness and claimed to have a functional “member” that appeared, he said, when necessary. Passing to América is at once a historical biography and an in-depth examination of the sex/gender complex in an era before “gender” had been divorced from “sex.” The book presents readers with the original court docket, including Don Antonio’s extended confession, in which he tells his life story, and the equally extraordinary biographical sketch offered by Felipa Ybañez of her “son María,” both in English translation and the original Spanish. Thomas A. Abercrombie’s analysis not only grapples with how to understand the sex/gender system within the Spanish Atlantic empire at the turn of the nineteenth century but also explores what Antonio/María and contemporaries can teach us about the complexities of the relationship between sex and gender today. Passing to América brings to light a previously obscure case of gender transgression and puts Don Antonio’s life into its social and historical context in order to explore the meaning of “trans” identity in Spain and its American colonies. This accessible and intriguing study provides new insight into historical and contemporary gender construction that will interest students and scholars of gender studies and colonial Spanish literature and history.

Download or read book Reimagining the Gran Chaco written by Silvia Hirsch and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2021-10-12 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume traces the socioeconomic and environmental changes taking place in the Gran Chaco, a vast and richly biodiverse ecoregion at the intersection of Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, and Paraguay. Representing a wide range of contemporary anthropological scholarship that has not been available in English until now, Reimagining the Gran Chaco illuminates how the region’s many Indigenous groups are negotiating these transformations in their own terms. The essays in this volume explore how the region has become a complex arena of political, cultural, and economic contestation between actors that include the state, environmental groups and NGOs, and private businesses and how local actors are reconfiguring their subjectivities and political agency in response. With its multinational perspective, and its examination of major themes including missionization, millenarian movements, the Chaco war, industrial enclaves, extractivism, political mobilization, and the struggle for rights, this volume brings greater visibility to an underrepresented, complex region.

Download or read book Women in Argentina written by Monica Szurmuk and published by Orange Grove Texts Plus. This book was released on 2009-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Tells a compelling story about an almost unknown body of work--Argentine women's travel narratives--and also provokes the reader to think more deeply about the intersection between learning about one's country and learning about oneself."-- Debra A. Castillo, Stephen H. Weiss Presidential Fellow, Cornell University, and author of Easy Women: Sex and Gender in Modern Mexican Fiction In this collection of writings by women both inside and outside of Argentina, M�nica Szurmuk has unearthed a rich and delightful tradition of travel writing. The selections, recorded from the period 1850-1930, include travelogues by European and North American women who visited Argentina alongside pieces by Argentinean women who describe trips to the United States, Europe, the Middle East, and the interior of their own country. The pieces show that women writers in colonized and colonizing countries share literary and ideological perspectives and discuss race and gender in similar ways, often using the form of travel writing to discuss highly charged political issues. In addition to short introductions to each text and author, Szurmuk describes how women's texts were co-opted to form an image of white women as models of nationhood that need to be protected and sheltered. She also examines the history of travel writing alongside the participation of women in public life, population policies, and the development of the public school system, and she offers enlightening conclusions about the nature of travel writing as a literary genre.
