Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Abstract Barrios Johana Londoño examines how Latinized urban landscapes are made palatable for white Americans. Such Latinized urban landscapes, she observes, especially appear when whites feel threatened by concentrations of Latinx populations, commonly known as barrios. Drawing on archival research, interviews, and visual analysis of barrio built environments, Londoño shows how over the past seventy years urban planners, architects, designers, policy makers, business owners, and other brokers took abstracted elements from barrio design—such as spatial layouts or bright colors—to safely “Latinize” cities and manage a long-standing urban crisis of Latinx belonging. The built environments that resulted ranged from idealized notions of authentic Puerto Rican culture in the interior design of New York City’s public housing in the 1950s, which sought to diminish concerns over Puerto Rican settlement, to the Fiesta Marketplace in downtown Santa Ana, California, built to counteract white flight in the 1980s. Ultimately, Londoño demonstrates that abstracted barrio culture and aesthetics sustain the economic and cultural viability of normalized, white, and middle-class urban spaces.

This book was released on 2017-03-31 with total page 443 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the growing focus on issues of socio-economic transformation in contemporary transitional justice, the path dependencies imposed by the political economy of war-to-peace transitions and the limitations imposed by weak statehood are seldom considered.

Book Decolonial Perspectives on Entangled Inequalities

Download or read book Decolonial Perspectives on Entangled Inequalities written by Encarnación Gutiérrez Rodríguez and published by Anthem Press. This book was released on 2021-02-26 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection aims to contribute to the decolonial social and cultural analyses of global entangled inequalities by focusing on their local articulations. Drawing on empirical research conducted by scholars in Germany, Trinidad and Tobago, Australia and in Canada, the book engages with the conceptual framework of global inequalities and the methodological perspective on entanglement. It does so by approaching global inequalities and their local articulations: (a) global political economy, structural violence, entangled inequalities; (b) financial inequalities and state injustice; (c) inequality within and beyond race and ethnicity; (d) decolonial struggles against inequality; and (e) decolonial futurities. It is on these grounds that this edited volume aims to contribute to the analysis of entangled global inequalities by mobilizing a decolonial framework paying attention to the intersections of race, gender, labour, finances and the State.

Book All Shall Hide

    Book Details:
  • Author : Taylor A. Cisco Jr
  • Publisher : AuthorHouse
  • Release : 2010-09
  • ISBN : 1452056358
  • Pages : 178 pages

Download or read book All Shall Hide written by Taylor A. Cisco Jr and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-09 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A literal interpretation of Revelation 6:12-17 states survivors from a future great earthquake shall flee to hide in dens And The rocks of mountains. Such behavior is very unusual. Earthquake survivors normally flee to open spaces, away from buildings, To avoid injury from falling debris. All Shall Hide uses the findings from historical, aerospace, astrophysical, geophysical, and medical studies to show why world populations will be frightened into seeking heavily shielded shelters. What is the source of their terror? People suddenly collapsing in public from increased rates of heart failure caused by a great space weather storm. The awesome intensity of its cosmic ray output and harsh variations in the Earth's magnetic field will dwarf the Carrington Event of 1859. All Shall Hide shows the foretold darkening of the Sun to levels beneath global tempest of sunspots shall be the cause the perfect space weather storm. All Shall Hide formed its multidisciplinary, literal interpretation of Apostle John's scripture from the fiery truths of scientific studies. For example, statistically significant correlations between the variations in cosmic ray neutron rates and changes in the rates of death caused by acute myocardial infarction (heart attack), sudden cardiac death, cerebrovascular accident (stroke), or arrhythmia were manifested from collaborative research by Israel, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Azerbaijan, Russia, and Greece. The ability of the Moon to glow in the absence of sunlight was derived from observations and studies of solar particle induced lunar luminescence. The dates of solar blackouts, like the darkness at the crucifixion And The third Persian invasion of Greece, were deduced from trustworthy historical accounts of acute solar darkening events that could not be attributed to solar eclipses and/or clouds. All Shall Hide is a must read for those concerned with strengthening their beliefs in the Holy Bible.
