Download or read book Black in White Space written by Elijah Anderson and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2023-04-05 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the vital voice of Elijah Anderson, Black in White Space sheds fresh light on the dire persistence of racial discrimination in our country. A birder strolling in Central Park. A college student lounging on a university quad. Two men sitting in a coffee shop. Perfectly ordinary actions in ordinary settings—and yet, they sparked jarring and inflammatory responses that involved the police and attracted national media coverage. Why? In essence, Elijah Anderson would argue, because these were Black people existing in white spaces. In Black in White Space, Anderson brings his immense knowledge and ethnography to bear in this timely study of the racial barriers that are still firmly entrenched in our society at every class level. He focuses in on symbolic racism, a new form of racism in America caused by the stubbornly powerful stereotype of the ghetto embedded in the white imagination, which subconsciously connects all Black people with crime and poverty regardless of their social or economic position. White people typically avoid Black space, but Black people are required to navigate the “white space” as a condition of their existence. From Philadelphia street-corner conversations to Anderson’s own morning jogs through a Cape Cod vacation town, he probes a wealth of experiences to shed new light on how symbolic racism makes all Black people uniquely vulnerable to implicit bias in police stops and racial discrimination in our country. An unwavering truthteller in our national conversation on race, Anderson has shared intimate and sharp insights into Black life for decades. Vital and eye-opening, Black in White Space will be a must-read for anyone hoping to understand the lived realities of Black people and the structural underpinnings of racism in America.

Book excerpt: Color is a power in your life. It shapes how you dress, what you eat, your physical appearance, the rooms you live in, and how you feel. What is color and why does it pack such power?. Explore the power and magic of color: • Color is the most powerful illusion in the world. Do your students think their eyes are a recording device? Discover that our eyes work more like a paint gun than a camera.. • The fact that we create color helps explain its emotional power. Ever turn red with rage or green with envy? At times, we all “have the blues.” Color is about emotions.. • When it comes to color we are all deeply prejudiced. Food coloring is used not so much to mislead as to satisfy our prejudices. Salmon has to be pink, egg yolks a golden orange, and lemon meringue pie a bright yellow. We insist.. • Give people a lime flavored drink with orange coloring, and the color can overpower the taste. But “I can taste the orange,” many will say. Our eyes are part of our taste buds.. • Color influences what we buy. Can color make a golf ball travel farther? Can color make your skin itch or feel soothed?. • Can a “little blue pill” make you sleepier than a “little pink pill”? Can color influence health?. • From UPS brown to Yellow cabs, learn how corporations stake claims to specific colors as part of their identities.. • Explore cultural, ethnic, and religious use of color. Does an ancient mistrust of bright colors influence us even today? Would you trust a judge wearing a neon green robe?. • See how color is used as a signal system from Medieval laws restricting color in clothing to today's OSHA safety colors.. Color is critical in consumer education, literature, art, interior design, fashion, and life itself. Let Color in Everyday Life increase color awareness in your students.

Book excerpt: “The pigments he concocts from these humble beginnings are as fun to make as they are eye-opening to work with . . . the world never quite looks the same.” —MarthaStewart.com A 2018 Best Book of the Year—The Guardian The Toronto Ink Company was founded in 2014 by designer and artist Jason Logan as a citizen science experiment to make eco-friendly, urban ink from street-harvested pigments.

And it also reminds me why I love ink—any ink or liquid color as much as I do.” —The Well-Appointed Desk “Quite a few recipes . . . that use color from the kitchen: carrots, black beans, blueberries, turmeric, and onion skins all make beautiful ink colors.” —Design Observer “Make Ink opens up about methods, providing an open source guide to DIY ink.” —CityLab
