Download or read book Systemic Racism in the United States written by Robbie W.C. Tourse and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-05-22 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Tourse, Hamilton-Mason, and Wewiorski discuss major concepts that help explicate the systemic nature of institutionalized racism in the U.S. – with a focus on social construction, oppression, scaffolding, and institutional web – providing insight into racist thought and behavior that construct and mark people of color as 'a problem.' [...] I highly recommend this book for those who are engaged in working to combat domination and racism at the local, national, and global levels." -Gary Bailey, DHL, MSW, ACSW, Professor of Practice, Director of Urban Leadership Program, Simmons College School of Social Work This important volume provides a powerful overview of racism in the United States: what it is, how it works, and the social, cultural, and institutional structures that have evolved to keep it in place. It dissects the rise of legalized discrimination against four major racial groups (First Nations, Africans, Mexicans, and Chinese) and its perpetuation as it affects these groups and new immigrants today. The book’s scaffolding framework—which takes in institutions from the government to our educational systems—explains why racism remains in place despite waves of social change. At the same time, authors describe social justice responses being used to erode racism in its most familiar forms, and at its roots. This timely resource: Examines the sociology of discrimination as a constant in daily life. Traces the history of the legalization of racism in the United States. Locates key manifestations of racism in the American psyche. Links racism to other forms of discrimination. Identifies the interlocking components of institutionalized racism. Offers contemporary examples of resistance to racism. A forceful synthesis of history and social theory, Systemic Racism in the United States is vital reading for practitioners and other professionals in fields related to human rights, social policy, and psychology. And as a classroom text, it challenges its readers to deepen their understanding of both historical process and current developments.
Download or read book Systemic Racism written by Joe Feagin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Feagin develops a theory of systemic racism to interpret the highly racialized character and development of this society. Exploring the distinctive social worlds that have been created by racial oppression over nearly four centuries and what this has meant for the people of the United States, focusing his analysis on white-on-black oppression. Drawing on the commentaries of black and white Americans in three historical eras; the slavery era, the legal segregation era, and then those of white Americans. Feagin examines how major institutions have been thoroughly pervaded by racial stereotypes, ideas, images, emotions, and practices. He theorizes that this system of racial oppression was not an accident of history, but was created intentionally by white Americans. While significant changes have occurred in this racist system over the centuries, key and fundamentally elements have been reproduced over nearly four centuries, and US institutions today imbed the racialized hierarchy created in the 17th century. Today, as in the past, racial oppression is not just a surface-level feature of society, but rather it pervades, permeates, and interconnects all major social groups, networks, and institutions across society.

Download or read book Justified Deadly Force and the Myth of Systemic Racism written by Mike Simonelli and published by . This book was released on 2021-09-21 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States is a nation imperfectly founded but one in which all citizens now enjoy equal freedoms and justice under the law. Unfortunately, some of America's greatest freedoms-speech, press, and protest-are being manipulated into becoming its Achilles heel. The past sin of slavery is invoked as the media, activists, and politicians racialize police incidents, attack law enforcement and divide the nation in a way no foreign power ever could. This book proves through scientific evidence that news and social media narratives about deadly police shootings being systemically racist, are systemically false. Far from superficial descriptions of the subject's age, race, and city the shooting occurred in, critical facts regarding the subject's actions and officer's reactions are key to understanding why deadly force was justifiably used. After exposing the media's bias of several high-profile incidents, 90 officer-involved shootings of unarmed subjects and 108 line of duty officer murders are analyzed according to more than a dozen relevant criteria. Read about the details of these incidents and decide for yourself whether the officers pulled the trigger because of the color of someone's skin, as is often alleged; the subject's violent actions, as is often the case; or a tragic mistake made under intense circumstances, as sometimes happens. Learn how officers who did not use deadly force in very similar situations were tragically murdered. Their last moments prove why officers are justifiably alarmed when people refuse lawful commands to show their hands. When people comply, everyone stays alive!

Download or read book The White Racial Frame written by Joe R. Feagin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-08-21 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book Joe Feagin extends the systemic racism framework in previous Routledge books by developing an innovative concept, the white racial frame. Now four centuries-old, this white racial frame encompasses not only the stereotyping, bigotry, and racist ideology emphasized in other theories of "race," but also the visual images, array of emotions, sounds of accented language, interlinking interpretations and narratives, and inclinations to discriminate that are still central to the frame’s everyday operations. Deeply imbedded in American minds and institutions, this white racial frame has for centuries functioned as a broad worldview, one essential to the routine legitimation, scripting, and maintenance of systemic racism in the United States. Here Feagin examines how and why this white racial frame emerged in North America, how and why it has evolved socially over time, which racial groups are framed within it, how it has operated in the past and in the present for both white Americans and Americans of color, and how the latter have long responded with strategies of resistance that include enduring counter-frames. In this new edition, Feagin has included much new interview material and other data from recent research studies on framing issues related to white, black, Latino, and Asian Americans, and on society generally. The book also includes a new discussion of the impact of the white frame on popular culture, including on movies, video games, and television programs as well as a discussion of the white racial frame’s significant impacts on public policymaking, immigration, the environment, health care, and crime and imprisonment issues.

Download or read book Racial Theories in Social Science written by Sean Elias and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Racial Theories in Social Science: A Systemic Racism Critique provides a critique of the white racial framing and lack of systemic-racism analysis prevalent in past and present mainstream race theory. As this book demonstrates, mainstream racial analysis, and social analysis more generally, remain stunted and uncritical because of this unhealthy white framing of knowledge and evasion or downplaying of institutional, structural, and systemic racism. In response to ineffective social science analyses of racial matters, this book presents a counter-approach---systemic racism theory. The foundation of this theoretical perspective lies in the critical insights and perspectives of African Americans and other people of color who have long challenged biased white-framed perspectives and practices and the racially oppressive and exclusionary institutions and social systems created by whites over several centuries.
