Download or read book Watermelons Nooses and Straight Razors written by David Pilgrim and published by PM Press. This book was released on 2017-12-30 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All groups tell stories, but some groups have the power to impose their stories on others, to label others, stigmatize others, paint others as undesirables—and to have these stories presented as scientific fact, God’s will, or wholesome entertainment. Watermelons, Nooses, and Straight Razors examines the origins and significance of several longstanding antiblack stories and the caricatures and stereotypes that support them. Here readers will find representations of the lazy, childlike Sambo, the watermelon-obsessed pickaninny, the buffoonish minstrel, the subhuman savage, the loyal and contented mammy and Tom, and the menacing, razor-toting coon and brute. Malcolm X and James Baldwin both refused to eat watermelon in front of white people. They were aware of the jokes and other stories about African Americans stealing watermelons, fighting over watermelons, even being transformed into watermelons. Did racial stories influence the actions of white fraternities and sororities who dressed in blackface and mocked black culture, or employees who hung nooses in their workplaces? What stories did the people who refer to Serena Williams and other dark-skinned athletes as apes or baboons hear? Is it possible that a white South Carolina police officer who shot a fleeing black man had never heard stories about scary black men with straight razors or other weapons? Antiblack stories still matter. Watermelons, Nooses, and Straight Razors uses images from the Jim Crow Museum, the nation’s largest publicly accessible collection of racist objects. These images are evidence of the social injustice that Martin Luther King Jr. referred to as “a boil that can never be cured so long as it is covered up but must be exposed to the light of human conscience and the air of national opinion before it can be cured.” Each chapter concludes with a story from the author’s journey, challenging the integrity of racial narratives.

Download or read book Sex Is as Sex Does written by Paisley Currah and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2022-05-31 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner, Sexuality and Politics Book Award - American Political Science Association Finalist, PROSE Award - Government and Politics What the evolving fight for transgender rights reveals about government power, regulations, and the law Every government agency in the United States, from Homeland Security to Departments of Motor Vehicles, has the authority to make its own rules for sex classification. Many transgender people find themselves in the bizarre situation of having different sex classifications on different documents. Whether you can change your legal sex to “F” or “M” (or more recently “X”) depends on what state you live in, what jurisdiction you were born in, and what government agency you’re dealing with. In Sex Is as Sex Does, noted transgender advocate and scholar Paisley Currah explores this deeply flawed system, showing why it fails transgender and non-binary people. Providing examples from different states, government agencies, and court cases, Currah explains how transgender people struggle to navigate this confusing and contradictory web of legal rules, definitions, and classifications. Unlike most gender scholars, who are concerned with what the concepts of sex and gender really mean, Currah is more interested in what the category of “sex” does for governments. What does “sex” do on our driver’s licenses, in how we play sports, in how we access health care, or in the bathroom we use? Why do prisons have very different rules than social service agencies? Why is there such resistance to people changing their sex designation? Or to dropping it from identity documents altogether? In this thought-provoking and original volume, Sex Is as Sex Does reveals the hidden logics that have governed sex classification policies in the United States and shows what the regulation of transgender identity can tell us about society’s approach to sex and gender writ large.Ultimately, Currah demonstrates that, because the difficulties transgender people face are not just the result of transphobia but also stem from larger injustices, an identity-based transgender rights movement will not, by itself, be up to the task of resolving them.
Download or read book InJUSTICE written by Pedro Perez and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2024-10-18 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: InJUSTICE is Pedro Perez's memoir chronicling his journey from poverty to the highest position in the New York State Police. In highly personal prose, Perez poignantly expresses how he adroitly and coolly challenged his fellow troopers' racial microaggressions and ultimately gained their respect. The book sheds light on institutional racism within the force and Perez's commitment to reform. He overcame racism and microaggressions to rise through the ranks. As a state trooper, Perez sought to reconcile the seeming contradiction between his progressive values, anti-racism, and identity (Perez identifies as an Afro-Caribbean Taino) and serving in an organization that stubbornly resisted opening its ranks to Black and Latino men and women. It concludes with Perez's argument for police reform and addressing the legacy of racism affecting police relations with racialized communities. Dr. Pedro Caban - Former Vice Provost for Diversity and Educational Equity at the State University of New York and Professor & Director of Undergraduate and Graduate Studies - Department of Latin American, Caribbean & U.S. Latino Studies ******************************************************************************************* This book speaks to the individual fortitude that it takes for any person to be successful in a police culture. Add in what Pedro Perez had to navigate, around, the individual and systemic racism, that is omnipresent for non-white people in the NYSP and the United States. Factors that can make everyday task almost a miracle to accomplish for non-white people. Bravo my brother! Anthony Ellis - New York State Police Chief Inspector - Colonel (Retired) ******************************************************************************************* Pedro Perez's book, InJUSTICE, expertly combines the story of his personal journey as a New York State Trooper of Afro-Caribbean descent with his account of his tireless efforts to make the NYSP a more just, equitable institution: one that protects the rights of all New Yorkers. Perez writes with courageous honesty about how the very same law enforcement agency that lifted him and his family from poverty also challenged him to reform its institutionalized racism from within, all while doing his best to protect and serve. This is a "must read" for anyone seeking to better understand the complexities of working in law enforcement as a member of a marginalized minority. It is an urgent call of conscience to all New Yorkers and Americans to make our vital law enforcement institutions instruments of genuine justice. Dan Ornstein - rabbi and author of Cain v Abel: A Jewish Courtroom Drama. ******************************************************************************************* InJUSTICE is the unique story of how Perez escapes from a life of poverty by joining the New York State Police. As one of a handful of Puerto Rican and African American state troopers in the 1980s, the author vividly reveals the challenges that officers of color face. With intelligence, courage, humor, and a commitment to administering justice, Perez examines the tensions that arise from carrying out law enforcement in a society shaped by inequalities of class, gender, ethnicity, and race, while also sharing a moving personal story. Barbara Smith - Author, The Truth That Never Hurts: Writings on Race, Gender, and Freedom ******************************************************************************************* WOW! Pedro Perez' memoir is an inspiring account of one man's grappling with (internally as well as externally) issues underlying injustice. Throughout his journey from childhood in Lower East Side Manhattan to the highest ranks of the New York State Troopers, Pedro Perez encounters all types of injustice including racism, gender bias, and poverty. His unique story of attempting systemic change from within while experiencing the harmful effects of these injustices is nothing short of heroic. The brutal honesty in this book is both refreshing and intimidating. It is not simply a call for change, but a true account of one man answering that call. Will you join him? Kevin P. Tully - Mecklenburg County Public Defenders Office
Download or read book South Sudan s Injustice System written by Rachel Ibreck and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-08-30 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coming into existence amid a wave of optimism in 2011, South Sudan has since slid into violence and conflict. Even in the face of escalating civil war, however, the people of the country continue to fight for justice, despite a widespread culture of corruption and impunity. Drawing on extensive new research, Rachel Ibreck examines people's lived experiences as they navigate South Sudan's fledgling justice system, as well as the courageous efforts of lawyers, activists, and ordinary citizens to assert their rights and hold the government to account. In doing so, the author reveals how justice plays out in a variety of settings, from displacement camps to chiefs' courts, and in cases ranging from communal land disputes to the country's turbulent peace process. Based on a collaborative research project carried out with South Sudanese activists and legal practitioners, the book also demonstrates the value of conducting researching with, rather than simply about those affected by conflict. At heart, this is a people's story of South Sudan - what works in this troubled country is what people do for themselves.
Download or read book With Power Comes Responsibility written by Maeve McKeown and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-02-08 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is structural injustice, and who ultimately bears responsibility for it? In answering these questions Maeve McKeown goes beyond the widely accepted narrative of unintended consequences and blameless participation to explain how power and responsibility truly function in today's world. Drawing on case studies from sweatshops to climate change, McKeown identifies three types of structural injustice: the pure and unintended accumulation of disparate activities; the avoidable injustice that could be ameliorated by the powerful but nevertheless continues; the deliberate perpetuation of structural processes that benefit powerful political and economic agents. In each of these, the role of power is different which changes the allocation of responsibility. From this understanding, we can shape a deeper, more sophisticated idea of how structural injustice operates and what we as individuals can do about it. What is the political responsibility of ordinary individuals? How can ordinary individuals with very little power pressure morally responsible, powerful agents to address structural injustice? Do we have the same responsibility for historical injustice as we do for that which we see in today's world? This is fundamental reassessment of the relationship between power, ordinary people and responsibility for structural injustice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book asks why justice is important to both individuals and to society as a whole. A number of justice questions are raised to evaluate whether mediation can deliver social, distributive, procedural, or substantive justice and fairness. Focussing on a scrutiny of mediation in the context of justice, the book covers social justice and justice issues posed by confidentiality, bias, lack of fairness, and Online Dispute Resolution. Discussing whether mediation can truly deliver justice to all, this book identifies areas where this fails and provides solutions and suggestions for improvement.. The dangers of private justice, bias, mandatory mediation, and the side lining of the importance of fairness in the resolution of disputes are all considered. In contrast, the positive aspects of mediation are added to the balance. This book will be of interest to researchers in the field of conflict resolution, law, and social science. Readers will also be found among mediators and people interested in justice and the civil justice system.
Download or read book Dictatorship on Trial written by Tyrell Haberkorn and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2024-06-25 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2014, after a decade of political turmoil, the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) carried out Thailand's 13th coup since the country's transformation from absolute to constitutional monarchy in 1932. Though the NCPO promised to restore the rule of law, justice—long tenuous in Thailand—disappeared entirely. The legal system was used to criminalize the thoughts and actions of democratic dissidents, facilitate extrajudicial violence, and guarantee impunity for the coup and crimes by state officials. Combining legal and historical scholarship and long-term courtroom observation, Dictatorship on Trial traces the legal, social, and political impacts of authoritarianism, and foregrounds court decisions as both a history of repression and a site in which to imagine future justice. Organized chronologically across the five years of the NCPO regime, each chapter takes up a different political case and enumerates the ways in which political activists were made vulnerable rather than protected by the state's interpretations of the law, and the mechanisms through which perpetrators evaded accountability. Inspired by feminist legal scholars, the substantive analysis in each chapter is followed by new, rewritten judgments created in collaboration with Thai human rights activists. In plotting these alternative logics, interpretations of evidence, and conclusions, Tyrell Haberkorn outlines what true justice might look like, and assesses the legal and political transformations necessary to realize it.
Download or read book The Ecology of War and Peace written by Eliana Cusato and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-09-16 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The connection between ecology and conflict has been the object of extensive study by political scientists and economists. From the contribution of natural resource 'scarcity' to violent unrest and armed conflict; to resource 'abundance' as an incentive for initiating and prolonging armed struggles; to dysfunctional resource management and environmental degradation as obstacles to peacebuilding, this literature has exerted a huge influence upon academic discussions and policy developments. While international law is often invoked as the solution to the socio-environmental challenges faced by conflict-affected countries, its relationship with the ecology of war and peace remains undertheorised. Drawing upon environmental justice perspectives and other theoretical traditions, the book unpacks and problematizes some of the assumptions that underlie the legal field. Through an analysis of the practice of international courts, the UN Security Council, and Truth Commissions, it shows how international law silences and even normalizes forms of structural and slow environmental violence.
Download or read book The Immigration Law Death Penalty written by Sarah Tosh and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2023-10-10 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traces the role of the aggravated felony in today’s deportation regime In immigration courts across America, a non-citizen convicted of an “aggravated felony” will almost certainly face deportation with no access to asylum. However, despite the ominous-sounding name, aggravated felonies need not be either “aggravated” or “felonies.” The term encompasses more than thirty offenses, ranging from check fraud and shoplifting to filing a false tax return. The recent expansion in the list of such offenses has resulted in astronomical rates of deportation. This book chronicles the rise of the use of the aggravated felony, known by lawyers as the “immigration law death penalty,” to criminalize and then deport immigrants. Immigrants convicted of aggravated felonies are subject to mandatory detention and almost certain deportation—and are ineligible for almost all forms of legal relief from removal. Furthermore, immigrants convicted of aggravated felonies can be detained for months or even years without bond, are not guaranteed lawyers, and can even be deported without an opportunity to plead their case in court. Sarah Tosh provides the first in-depth understanding of how aggravated felonies have been used to deport thousands of documented and undocumented immigrants and how the severe, expansive, and racially disparate outcomes have been met with innovative legal responses, bolstered by networks of community-based resistance. The Immigration Law Death Penalty is an urgent read for anyone committed to protecting the rights of immigrants nationwide.
