This book was released on 2023-03-02 with total page 718 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Featuring chapters authored by leading scholars in the fields of criminology, critical race studies, history, and more, The Cambridge Handbook of Race and Surveillance cuts across history and geography to provide a detailed examination of how race and surveillance intersect throughout space and time. The volume reviews surveillance technology from the days of colonial conquest to the digital era, focusing on countries such as the United States, Canada, the UK, South Africa, the Philippines, India, Brazil, and Palestine. Weaving together narratives on how technology and surveillance have developed over time to reinforce racial discrimination, the book delves into the often-overlooked origins of racial surveillance, from skin branding, cranial measurements, and fingerprinting to contemporary manifestations in big data, commercial surveillance, and predictive policing. Lucid, accessible, and expertly researched, this handbook provides a crucial investigation of issues spanning history and at the forefront of contemporary life.

Download or read book The BDPA Story written by Kenneth Wilson and published by . This book was released on 2021-12-31 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was written to enrich lives. It is a story about helping people grow, build, and achieve greatness. The story of the Black Data Processing Associates (BDPA) - a non-profit organization of African-American computer professionals growing, building, and achieving success together - is one of developing diverse talent and improving their career options in the Information Technology industry. BDPA was born in 1975 because its founders believed African Americans in particular were marginalized in the burgeoning field of data processing, later known as information technology. Before BDPA, African Americans had been ignored, rejected, segregated, or pushed to the back of the employment line. From a series of events experienced by co-founder, Earl A. Pace, Jr., the BDPA story begins. During the decade leading up to 1975, a computer-usage revolution-the likes of which corporations could not have possibly imagined-blasted off into the stratosphere. New innovations were being announced daily. Those innovations included: The COBOL business-programming language, IBM main-frames (IBM 360 and 370), the DEC PDP 8 Mini-Computer, Computer Timesharing Systems, Local Area Networks, Networked Email, The "C" Programming Language, and Precursors to the Internet. A new business-technology paradigm shift was underway, shaking up the workplace and changing forever how every business would operate. Moreover, as corporate computer usage skyrocketed, the corporate need and demand for computer programmers, analysts, operators, and managers also skyrocketed. Inspired by the aforementioned business, societal and technological opportunities, Earl Pace, and his co-worker (the late David Wimberly) sat down together and conceived the Black Data Processing Associates. They realized that the expansion of computer technology brought with it an opportunity for African Americans to obtain skills and career advancement beyond data-entry positions. From BDPA's founding in 1975 to today, tens of thousands of hard-working people of color have contributed to BDPA's success. It takes a village to build an organization like this. But this book focuses on 15 pioneers and innovators chiefly responsible for BDPA's growth and success during its formative years.
Download or read book Intercultural Encounters written by Wim M. J. van Binsbergen and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2003 with total page 618 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together fifteen essays investigating aspects of interculturality. Like its author, it operates at the borderline between social anthropology and intercultural philosophy. It seeks to make a contribution to intercultural philosophy, by formulating with great precision and painful honesty the lessons deriving from extensive intercultural experiences as an anthropologist. Its culminating section presents an intercultural philosophy revolving on the tenet 'cultures do not exist'. The kaleidoscopic nature of intercultural experiences is reflected in the diversity of these texts. Many belong to a field that could be described as "meta-anthropology", others are more clearly philosophical; occasionally they spill over into belles lettres, ancient history, and comparative cultural and religious studies. The ethnographic specifics supporting the arguments are diverse, deriving from various African situations in which the author has conducted participatory field research (Tunisia, Zambia, Botswana, and South Africa).

Download or read book Publishing against Apartheid South Africa written by Elizabeth le Roux and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-01-07 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In many parts of the world, oppositional publishing has emerged in contexts of state oppression. In South Africa, censorship laws were enacted in the 1960s, and the next decade saw increased pressure on freedom of speech and publishing. With growing restrictions on information, activist publishing emerged. These highly politicised publishers had a social responsibility, to contribute to social change. In spite of their cultural, political and social importance, no academic study of their history has yet been undertaken. This Element aims to fill that gap by examining the history of the most vocal and arguably the most radical of this group, Ravan Press. Using archival material, interviews and the books themselves, this Element examines what the history of Ravan reveals about the role of oppositional print culture.
