Download or read book Using an Anti racist Education Strategy to Counter Prejudice Against Arab and Muslim Americans written by Darrell Robert DeTample and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most Americans misunderstand the terms "Arab" and "Muslim, " while also casting Arabs and Muslims as threats to national security. These perceived threats have led to the justification of the oppression of Arab and Muslim Americans similar to other minority groups in the United States, as non-Arab and non-Muslim Americans have been inundated with negative stereotypes through the news media, entertainment industry and the educational system. However, unlike with other groups, little research has been performed to analyze strategies on how to address the existence of prejudice against Arabs and Muslims among students with little to no contact with the two groups. The findings of this study suggest the need for more research on the potential ability of an Anti-Racist Education unit to address misconceptions about Arabs and Muslims in the United States and the resulting discrimination against the groups. The study incorporated a Practitioner Action Research design to examine how students developed their knowledge and attitudes about Arab and Muslim Americans, and the potential influence of a five week Anti-Racist Education unit on changing their knowledge and attitudes. The Anti-Racist Education strategy, which incorporated the contact hypothesis, was based on confronting students with the theory that as non-Arab, non-Muslim Americans, they were in a position of advantage in society and had developed prejudices as a result of growing up in that society. The subjects were 38 white students, 2 black students, and 1 Asian American student in a sophomore level Humanities class at an affluent public high school in New Jersey. Although the unit resulted in patterns of improved knowledge for most students, changes in student attitudes varied significantly among the students. A minority of the students demonstrated a willingness to recognize and admit their own prejudice, evidence of empathy towards Arab and Muslims, and an ability to critically examine their own knowledge when presented with new information, resulting in a progression of improved attitudes. By the end of the unit, most students provided evidence that they were struggling with cognitive dissonance as years of frequent exposure to negative stereotypes were challenged with new information.

Download or read book Handbook of Arab American Psychology written by Mona M. Amer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-11-19 with total page 459 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Handbook of Arab American Psychology is the first major publication to comprehensively discuss the Arab American ethnic group from a lens that is primarily psychological. This edited book contains a comprehensive review of the cutting-edge research related to Arab Americans and offers a critical analysis regarding the methodologies and applications of the scholarly literature. It is a landmark text for both multicultural psychology as well as for Arab American scholarship. Considering the post 9/11 socio-political context in which Arab Americans are under ongoing scrutiny and attention, as well as numerous misunderstandings and biases against this group, this text is timely and essential. Chapters in the Handbook of Arab American Psychology highlight the most substantial areas of psychological research with this population, relevant to diverse sub-disciplines including cultural, social, developmental, counseling/clinical, health, and community psychologies. Chapters also include content that intersect with related fields such as sociology, American studies, cultural/ethnic studies, social work, and public health. The chapters are written by distinguished scholars who merge their expertise with a review of the empirical data in order to provide the most updated presentation of scholarship about this population. The Handbook of Arab American Psychology offers a noteworthy contribution to the field of multicultural psychology and joins references on other racial/ethnic minority groups, including Handbook of African American Psychology, Handbook of Asian American Psychology, Handbook of U.S. Latino Psychology, and The Handbook of Chicana/o Psychology and Mental Health.
Download or read book A Political Economy of Arab Education written by Mohamed Alaa Abdel-Moneim and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-09-07 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The failure of reform policies in areas of critical importance to Arab populations such as health and education played a central role in igniting the Arab Awakening, yet this policy perspective has been largely absent from recent studies of the region. Arab regimes most reliant on repression to guarantee their survival were also those most vulnerable to mass politics. Where threats to regime survival have been limited, so have more meaningful reforms been possible, finding an alternative to political change through focusing on "soft policy" areas such as education. A Political Economy of Arab Education offers a comprehensive analysis of K-12 education systems in Arab countries, deepening understanding of their administrative structures and outcomes, and exploring how political considerations have impacted the ability of Arab regimes to engage in meaningful reform. Taking a unique comparative political economy perspective, it examines the reasons behind policy stagnation in Arab countries, addressing the effects of size, history and political stability on the design and implementation of policies and administrative structures. Its informed analysis and comparison of education systems provides new insight into Arab regimes and highlights factors pulling them towards either stagnation or reform. Examining the sustainability of reforms and establishing the benefits of engaging in meaningful change, this book sheds light on why some regimes survived the Arab Spring while others crumbled and formulates convincing predictions on the potential for future regime change in the region. This book will be of key interest to students and scholars of Middle Eastern Studies, International and Comparative Education and Development Studies.
Download or read book Leading While Muslim written by Debbie Almontaser and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-11-06 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been a sizable amount of research on how 9/11 has had an impact on public school communities, including students, teachers, and parents of Muslim identity. There is however a lack of study on Muslim principals of public schools. This book examines the lived experiences of American Muslim principals who serve in public schools post-9/11 to determine whether global events, political discourse, and the media coverage of Islam and Muslims have affected their leadership and spirituality. Such a study is intended to help readers to gain an understanding of the adversities that American Muslim principals have experienced post-9/11 and how to address these adversities, particularly through decisions about educational policy and district leadership.

Download or read book The Arab Minority In Israel s Economy written by Noah Lewin-epstein and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-11 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Arab Minority in Israel's Economy considers the Arab population as an integral, albeit disadvantaged, part of Israeli society. Using data from a thirty-year period, the book looks at Arab participation in the economy, especially in the labor market, showing how significant socioeconomic inequality persists despite a fundamental tenet of Israel's declaration of independence asserting equality of political and social rights of all its citizens. Taking an ethnic competition perspective, the authors explore the extent of inequality, uncovering the institutional and social processes that influence it. They examine the role of local labor markets and individual human resources, giving special attention to the growing labor force participation of Arab women. They also consider the gains of the majority Jewish population that have resulted from competition and economic discrimination against Arabs. Although the Arab community in Israel has been studied in the past, this book is unique in its detailed analysis of employment activity within and outside of the Arab sector and in examining both Arabs and Jews within the stratification system. The book fosters deeper understanding of Israeli society and of multi-ethnic societies more generally.
Download or read book Higher Education and the Palestinian Arab Minority in Israel written by Khalid Arar and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Higher Education and the Palestinian Minority in Israel examines perceptions concerning the characteristics of higher education acquisition in the indigenous Palestinian Arab minority in Israel. Arar and Haj-Yehia show that Palestinian Arabs in Israel clearly understand the benefit of an academic degree as a lever for social status and integration within the state of Israel. The authors discuss difficulties met by Palestinian high school graduates when they attempt to enter Israel's higher education institutes, and the alternative phenomenon of studying abroad. The cultural difference between Palestinian traditional communities and 'Western' Israeli campuses exposes Arab students to a mix of ethnicities and nationalities, which proves to be a difficult, transformative experience. The book analyzes patterns of higher education acquisition among the indigenous Palestinian minority, describing the disciplines they choose, the challenges they encounter, particularly for Palestinian women students, and explore the implications for the Palestinian minority and Israeli society.
