Diskriminierung

In den ruinierten Landschaften einer von Kolonisierung geprägten Welt erscheint Sprache als Vehikel ökonomischer Aneignung und flüchtiger Begegnungen. Anne Storch und Ingo H. Warnke legen mit ihrem wissenschaftlichen Essay ein Tagebuch, eine Feldstudiendokumentation und einen Dialog über ihre Reise von Sylt über Kairo nach Sansibar vor - und hinterfragen dabei den linguistischen Blick ihrer Erfahrungen. Dabei gerät ihr Schreiben ins Stocken und sucht Wege zum Sprechen in der neokolonialen Welt. In Verbindung mit einer kritischen Sichtung postkolonialer Arbeiten zielt das Buch auf die Austreibung aus den Grenzen der Sprachlosigkeit.

Beim Phänomen 'Yizu' (Ameisenstamm) handelt es sich um Hochschulabsolvent*innen aus ländlichen Regionen Chinas, die sich in den Metropolen des Landes ein Leben aufbauen möchten und dabei auf strukturelle Diskriminierungen diverser Art stoßen. Angesichts der chinesischen Wirtschaftsentwicklung stellt sich die Frage, ob sich für diese Generation Chancenungleichheit aufgrund ländlicher Herkunft politisch noch legitimieren lässt. Anhand von vielfältigen Materialien aus Wissenschaft, Medien und Populärkultur eröffnet Kimiko Suda eine kritische Perspektive auf Migration, soziale Mobilität und Stratifikation, Individualisierungsprozesse und Handlungsspielräume im urbanen Raum Chinas.

"It's an invaluable insider account of a pressing social issue." - Publishers Weekly Joining the ranks of Evicted and The New Jim Crow, a former caseworker's searing, clear-eyed investigation of the child welfare system-from foster care to incarceration-that exposes the deep-rooted biases shaping the system, witnessed through the lives of several Black families.Dr. Jessica Pryce knows the child welfare system firsthand and, in this long overdue work of narrative nonfiction, breaks it down from the inside out, sharing her professional journey and offering the crucial perspectives of caseworkers and Black women impacted by the system. It is a groundbreaking and eye-opening confrontation of the inherent and systemic racism deeply entrenched within the child welfare system.Pryce started her social work career with an internship where she was committed to helping keep children safe. In the book, she walks alongside her close friends and even her family as they navigate the system, while sharing her own reckoning with the requirements of her job and her role in the systemic harm.

At once a framework for child protective services reform and an intimate, stunning first-hand account of the system as it currently operates, Broken takes everyday scenarios as its focus rather than extreme child welfare cases, challenging readers to critically examine their own mindsets and biases in order to reimagine how we help families in need.This groundbreaking book confronts the uncomfortable truths of the child welfare system:- A Caseworker's Memoir: Follow Dr. Pryce's personal journey from a well-intentioned intern to a reform-focused activist, and her reckoning with her own role in a system causing harm.- Systemic Racism Exposed: Through the harrowing, real-life stories of Black families, uncover the deep-rooted biases that lead to disproportionate surveillance and family separation.- Moral Injury in Social Work: An unflinching look at the emotional and psychological toll on the child welfare workforce, caught between bureaucratic mandates and the human cost to families.- Poverty and Neglect: Challenge the conventional wisdom that separates poverty from neglect by examining everyday scenarios that criminalize families for their lack of resources.- A Framework for Change: Discover a path forward for social workers, policymakers, and advocates to dismantle a broken system and build a new, family-centered approach to child protection.

»Specification of Parity for the List of Candidates in Parliamentary Elections. An Enquiry in Terms of Constitutional Law«: The author examines the fundamental admissibility of specification of parity for the list of candidates in parliamentary elections in terms of constitutional law. Considering foreign alternatives, he also reviews the actual sex ratio in parliaments and political parties and offers suggestions of an approach to achieve parity in parliament. The main focus of the discussion is the analysis of these suggestions regarding their constitutional admissibility, also considering factional regulations.

What does it mean to risk all for your beliefs? How do you fight an enemy in your midst? We Go Where They Go recounts the thrilling story of a massive forgotten youth movement that set the stage for today's anti-fascist organizing in North America. When skinheads and punks in the late 1980s found their communities invaded by white supremacists and neo-nazis, they fought back. Influenced by anarchism, feminism, Black liberation, and Indigenous sovereignty, they created Anti-Racist Action. At ARA’s height in the 1990s, thousands of dedicated activists in hundreds of chapters joined the fights—political and sometimes physical—against nazis, the Ku Klux Klan, anti-abortion fundamentalists, and racist police. Before media pundits, cynical politicians, and your uncle discovered “antifa,” Anti-Racist Action was bringing it to the streets. Based on extensive interviews with dozens of ARA participants, We Go Where They Go tells ARA’s story from within, giving voice to those who risked their safety in their own defense and in solidarity with others. In reproducing the posters, zines, propaganda and photos of the movement itself, this essential work of radical history illustrates how cultural scenes can become powerful forces for change. Here at last is the story of an organic yet highly organized movement, exploring both its triumphs and failures, and offering valuable lessons for today’s generation of activists and rabble-rousers. We Go Where They Go is a page-turning history of grassroots anti-racism. More than just inspiration, it's a roadmap.

»Subalternity, Racism, Law«: The thesis combines a critical discourse analysis with an analysis of power and law. The broad, empirical analysis can show that German jurisprudence operates with an under-complex understanding of race and racism that reserves racism for extreme forms of violence or equates it with right-wing extremism.

Unsere Gesellschaft zeichnet sich durch eine Vielfalt an Lebensformen und -stilen, von weltanschaulichen Orientierungen sowie ethnischen Herkünften aus. Zugleich lassen sich Gruppenbildungen und Identitäten erkennen, welche diese Pluralität mehr oder weniger gewaltsam zu negieren suchen und damit eine Herausforderung für die Soziale Arbeit darstellen. Der Band versammelt einschlägige theoretische sowie empirische Forschungsbeiträge, anwendungsorientierte Konzepte sowie Erfahrungsberichte aus den Handlungsfeldern der Sozialen Arbeit. Er leistet einen Beitrag, Dynamiken der Abwertung, Abgrenzung und Diskriminierung zu verstehen und ihnen entgegenzuwirken.

To what extent do minority grievances contribute to intrastate conflict? Against the backdrop of rising discrimination against religious minorities worldwide, Religious Minorities at Risk offers new insights into classic debates on the influences of discrimination, deprivation, and inequality (DDI) on minority grievances and conflict behavior. It does so by utilizing original data on 771 religious minorities in 183 countries between 2000 and 2014. The book demonstrates that DDI is a significant cause of minority grievances which, in turn, deeply influence their conflict behaviors.It also shows the different effects of governmental and societal religious discrimination versus political and economic and marginalization. Religious, political, and economic grievances each escalate conflict intensity by aggrieved minorities in different ways. Ultimately, the book shows that collective grievances remain a powerful explanation for minorities' conflict behaviors; although influenced by DDI, they are not reducible to them. Second, while religious factors, including religious discrimination and grievances, uniquely contribute to minority conflict behavior, the overall patterns observed for religious minorities closely mirror those typically theorized for other minority groups. Finally, minority conflict intensity reflects the difficulties states encounter in accommodating them. Whereas religious grievances are relatively easily accommodated and therefore rarely escalate beyond rioting, political grievances influence a wider range, from non-violent protest to violence against civilians. Economic grievances, which demand costly systemic reforms, more often escalate to rebellion. An essential work on the causes of intercommunal and intrastate conflict, this will assist policymakers dealing with these issues.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2021 im Fachbereich Soziale Arbeit / Sozialarbeit, Note: 1,0, Hochschule Fresenius Idstein, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Wie kann reflexiver Sprachgebrauch im Rahmen von Antidiskriminierungsmethoden eingesetzt werden, und welche Folgen ergeben sich daraus? Dafür sollen zuerst definitorische und forschungsrelevante Grundlagen abgesteckt sowie ein methodischer Überblick der Antidiskriminierungsarbeit im sozialen Bereich gegeben werden. Diese Überlegungen führen dann zum reflexiven Sprachgebrauch. Hierfür erfolgt zuerst eine Skizzierung, in welcher Weise Diskriminierung in Sprache zutage tritt, woraufhin die dafür entscheidenden Beweggründe anhand kommunikationspsychologischer Ansätze aufgezeigt werden. Anschließend findet dies anhand eines Beispiels aus dem Praxisalltag der Sozialen Arbeit eine Veranschaulichung. Darauffolgend wird die Relevanz sowie die gesellschaftliche Wirkung sprachreflexiver Techniken der Antidiskriminierungsarbeit thematisiert und mit einer kritischen Einordnung komplementiert. Am Schluss rundet ein resümierendes Fazit die Arbeit ab.

Examines the ways in which post-apocalyptic films express white racial anxiety.The use of Christian apocalyptic myths has changed significantly over the centuries. Initially used by genuinely disenfranchised groups, they are used today as a response to more egalitarian treatment of minorities in American society. The apocalyptic framework allows the patriarchy to frame itself as the victim who must restore America to a past where white male power went uncontested. This kind of white anxiety over increasing minority rights frequently manifests itself in contemporary apocalyptic media, which often depicts a white male hero facing a wide array of threatening "Others." Taking a unique look at the parallels between apocalypticism and American frontier mythology, as well as conspiracy theories and the post-apocalyptic obsession with repurposed objects, Whiteness at the End of the World analyzes many well-known films from the past fifty years, from Planet of the Apes to I Am Mother. It offers unique, clearly presented insights into recurring patterns that appear in an extraordinarily ubiquitous genre that has only increased in popularity, and whose themes of racial anxiety are increasingly pertinent in our increasingly contentious political climate.
