Download or read book Skyscraper Settlement written by Joyce Milambiling and published by New Village Press. This book was released on 2023-09-19 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The roles that Christodora House has played from 19th-century settlement house to its newest forms Settlement house workers helped transform the lives of thousands of people despite lack of funding, the influenza epidemic of 1918, economic depressions, and two World Wars. Many of these houses still exist in the original neighborhoods where they confront the problems of today and advocate for their communities. Christodora House, founded in 1897 as “The Young Women’s Settlement,” played an important role in the life of immigrants and other residents on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. For over 50 years, residents and volunteers at Christodora House provided classes, clubs, recreational activities, and medical and dental clinics for thousands of New Yorkers, and then continued to operate programs out of public housing and other locations for more than two decades. The building at 143 Avenue B, now housing condominiums, has had a tumultuous history since 1948 but still stands, towering over its tenement neighborhood in the East Village. Christodora Inc. is now a nonprofit foundation with offices in Midtown Manhattan, whose staff works with underserved New Yorkers, including youth in the public school system, carrying on a long, distinguished history of service to the city and country.

It is the home of Larry Doby (the first African American baseball player to play in the American League in 1947), the world-famous comedian Lou Costello, the Great Falls National Historic Park, the Huntoon-Van Rensalier underground railroad site, the Hinchliffe Stadium (where many teams from the old Negro Baseball League played, including the New York Black Yankees), and the first submarine, which was invented and manufactured by John Holland, a Paterson schoolteacher. But the lifeblood of Paterson are the ones who proudly call themselves Patersonians. These are the people who were born, raised, lived, worked, played, or raised their own families in Paterson. In UCAP: Up Close and Paterson, you will hear from a small sampling of current and former residents who comprise the ethnic, socioeconomic, cultural, political, and religious diversity that is Paterson, New Jersey. Through their personal stories, you will get a brief glimpse into the soul of the city dubbed the Silk City. And even with their contrasting and oftentimes very candid views of how different Paterson is now compared to when they grew up, there's no denying the love and pride they have for the city they call home, "P-Town!"

Download or read book Criminalizing Women 2nd Edition written by Gillian Balfour and published by Fernwood Publishing. This book was released on 2021-01-10T00:00:00Z with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Criminalizing women has become all too frequent in these neo-liberal times. Meanwhile, poverty, racism, and misogyny continue to frame criminalized women’s lives. Criminalizing Women introduces readers to the key issues addressed by feminists engaged in criminology research over the past four decades. Chapters explore how narratives that construct women as errant females, prostitutes, street gang associates and symbols of moral corruption mask the connections between women’s restricted choices and the conditions of their lives. The book shows how women have been surveilled, disciplined, managed, corrected, and punished, and it considers the feminist strategies that have been used to address the impact of imprisonment and to draw attention to the systemic abuses against poor and racialized women. In addition to updating material in the introductions and substantive chapters, this second edition includes new contributions that consider the media representations of missing and murdered women in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, the gendered impact of video surveillance technologies (CCTV), the role of therapeutic interventions in the death of Ashley Smith, the progressive potential of the Inside/Out Prison Exchange Program, and the use of music and video as decolonizing strategies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "There is something special that happens when you get a group of powerful women in a room . . . and shut the door." -- Andrea Wong, President and CEO, Lifetime Networks "There's such a reservoir of power among us when we pool our resources and uplift each other. We are limitless in our power when we understand that . . . To read this book is to know that change is possible." -- Rosario Dawson, Activist and Co-Founder, Voto Latino In the summer of 2008, sixteen teenage girls won exclusive access to dozens of the most politically powerful women in America. These congresswomen, journalists, and activists were supposed to talk to the young women about leadership skills and how to impact public policy, but they couldn't help sharing much more. They told funny, sad, and inspiring personal tales of missteps and small braveries, as well as of great leaps; they also talked to the girls about power pitfalls, power surges, powerful beginnings, and power suits. Now those secrets are available to you. The wisdom imparted in this unforgettable collection of funny, thoughtful, and inspiring true stories will prove invaluable to women of all ages, aspirations, and lifestyles -- in situations from the PTA to a power lunch, from the kitchen table to the corner office.
Download or read book East Side Stories written by Sidney Weissman and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2000-12-07 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There was a time gone by yet not known to many of us, which is dredged up and recovered in East Side Stories; this was the time of the Great Depression. In this fictional account, twenty stories in all , we delve into the lives of immigrants and their families who lived in the tenements of the Lower East Side of New York City. There is the aged actor who sings and speaks in many voices; there is Orchard Street with its pushcarts; there is the story of a young woman faced with the dilemma of whether or not to agree to a marriage with a much older man, one who has a good steady job. We meet a woman, deserted by her husband, who lives with a gambler who promises to marry her. There is a story of two boys, one Jewish, the other Italian, whose algebra teacher's moods fluctuate up and down. And there is a woman ostracized by her neighbors. There is the story of the girl who hates herself and what she is. We meet an entrepreneur who plays every angle to keep his business afloat . Then there is the cross-eyed boy who feels cursed; and the gangsters from Murder Inc. who shoot dice on the street. There is the boy who pines for a girl who lives nearby. There are stories of events at a junior high school; another of a college student and his black friend, Earl, and their adventure in a Spanish class. There is more. And all in all they are a mosaic of those times and that place.
Download or read book Mobilizing New York written by Tamar W. Carroll and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2015-04-20 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining three interconnected case studies, Tamar Carroll powerfully demonstrates the ability of grassroots community activism to bridge racial and cultural differences and effect social change. Drawing on a rich array of oral histories, archival records, newspapers, films, and photographs from post–World War II New York City, Carroll shows how poor people transformed the antipoverty organization Mobilization for Youth and shaped the subsequent War on Poverty. Highlighting the little-known National Congress of Neighborhood Women, she reveals the significant participation of working-class white ethnic women and women of color in New York City's feminist activism. Finally, Carroll traces the partnership between the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power (ACT UP) and Women's Health Action Mobilization (WHAM!), showing how gay men and feminists collaborated to create a supportive community for those affected by the AIDS epidemic, to improve health care, and to oppose homophobia and misogyny during the culture wars of the 1980s and 1990s. Carroll contends that social policies that encourage the political mobilization of marginalized groups and foster coalitions across identity differences are the most effective means of solving social problems and realizing democracy.
Download or read book Diversity Justice and Community written by Beverly-Jean M. Daniel and published by Canadian Scholars. This book was released on 2016-12-16 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection provides readers with a superb introduction to some of the contemporary issues related to diversity, community, and justice in the Canadian context. Grounded in theories of community justice and applied social justice, the text provides a historical, theoretical, and intersectional approach to understanding justice and its everyday manifestations for members of diverse populations in Canadian society. Diversity, Justice, and Community encourages reflection on the systemic factors that result in the production of criminality in marginalized and oppressed communities. The authors highlight the ways in which differently located groups—including Indigenous peoples, women and girls, Black males, Somali youths, the South Asian community, and transgendered prisoners—experience the justice system, while also critiquing standard notions of justice and equity and pointing towards potential solutions to combat inequalities at both the community and institutional level. Disrupting the taken-for-granted assumptions regarding who is a criminal, Diversity, Justice, and Community takes an honest look at both the challenges and the opportunities that exist for Canada’s increasingly multiracial, multi-ethnic, multicultural, and religiously and sexually diverse population. Featuring chapter objectives, discussion questions, and additional resources, this engaging text is ideal for students in criminal justice, police studies, police foundations, and criminology programs.

Book excerpt: In Creativities in Arts Education, Research and Practice: International Perspectives for the Future of Learning and Teaching, Leon de Bruin, Pamela Burnard and Susan Davis provide new thinking, ideas and practices concerned with philosophically, pedagogically and actively developing arts learning and teaching.
