Although the lives of the slave and free women were dissimilar, and they also resided in different countries, they appeared to possess commonalities. For instance, they shared mutual values and expectations to be free, educated, self-sufficient, and live a life of respect and equality. The women resided in countries such as the United States, Canada, Jamaica, Brazil, Cuba, Barbados, Antigua, St. Croix, Trinidad and Tobago, the African continent, and other nations.

Book Synopsis In Search of Equality by : Charles J. McClain
Download or read book In Search of Equality written by Charles J. McClain and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1994-05-03 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles McClain's illuminating new study probes Chinese efforts to battle manifold discrimination—in housing, employment, and education—in nineteenth-century America. Challenging the stereotypical image of a passive, insular group, McClain reveals a politically savvy population capable of mobilizing to fight mistreatment. He draws on English- and Chinese-language documents and rarely studied sources to chronicle the ways the Chinese sought redress and change in American courts. McClain focuses on the San Francisco Bay Area, the home of almost one-fifth of the fifty thousand Chinese working in California in 1870. He cites cases in which Chinese laundrymen challenged the city of San Francisco's discriminatory building restrictions, and lawsuits brought by parents to protest the exclusion of Chinese children from public schools. While vindication in the courtroom did not always bring immediate change (Chinese schoolchildren in San Francisco continued to be segregated well into the twentieth century), the Chinese community's efforts were instrumental in establishing several legal landmarks. In their battles for justice, the Chinese community helped to clarify many judicial issues, including the parameters of the Fourteenth Amendment and the legal meanings of nondiscrimination and equality. Discussing a wide range of court cases and gleaning their larger constitutional significance, In Search of Equality brings to light an important chapter of American cultural and ethnic history. It should attract attention from American and legal historians, ethnic studies scholars, and students of California culture.
Book Synopsis In Search of Just Families by : Chhanda Gupta
Download or read book In Search of Just Families written by Chhanda Gupta and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-06-06 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores two contemporary combative views regarding the search for just families. These views arise from the conundrum of the family being seen as a supportive, nurturing “haven” versus a grievously unjust, harmful institution that violates the rights and freedoms of any individual family member. Triggered by anti-family movements, which have been inspired by the ideas of some theorists and writers, the book addresses the question: Is family destined to wither away? It challenges the radical idea that the solution to the problem of unjust families is their complete replacement by purportedly just anti-familial alternatives. Chhanda Gupta advances a distinct reformist and reconciliatory view that the expulsion of either side of the family-anti-family binary is not the answer. She seeks to syncretize the seemingly irreconcilable ideas propagated through that philosophical binary. Furthermore, she urges that the search for just families must find its answer in clarifying how the term “just” applies to the characters, behaviors, and attitudes of people who comprise actual families. The search is not for a perfectly just society or polity, or even for a perfectly just family. Instead it is a search for ways to redress the remediable injustices that occur in families, in order to benefit and uplift individuals and families and the societies in which they live.
Book Synopsis Conform, Fail, Repeat by : Christopher Samuel
Download or read book Conform, Fail, Repeat written by Christopher Samuel and published by Between the Lines. This book was released on 2017-10-18 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anti-globalization activists have done little to slow capitalism’s global march. Many of the gains made by decades of identity-based movements have been limited to privileged subgroups. The lesson of these movements is clear: struggle for change is essential, but the direction of change matters considerably. Like movements of the past, current social movements such as Black Lives Matter, Idle No More, and the growing anti-Trump movement, must navigate a path between reformism and radicalism, pragmatism and idealism, capture and independence. In Conform, Fail, Repeat, Christopher Samuel uses Pierre Bourdieu’s central “thinking tools” to show how power and domination force movements into a no-win choice between conformity and failure. With special attention to North American LGBTQ politics and the G20 protests in Toronto, Conform, Fail, Repeat shows how Bourdieu’s work can give movement observers as well as participants new tools for tracking and avoiding the pitfalls of conformity and failure.
Book Synopsis In Search of Consistency: Ethics and Animals by : Lisa Kemmerer
Download or read book In Search of Consistency: Ethics and Animals written by Lisa Kemmerer and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2006-08-01 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Search of Consistency is the most comprehensive examination to date of moral theories and animal ethics. This large volume unveils and explores the work of Tom Regan (rights theory), Peter Singer (utilitarian), Paul Taylor (environmental ethics), and Andrew Linzey (theology), not only digging deep into critical analysis of extant theories, but feeding the flames of a now flourishing dialogue at the intersections of animal ethics, environmental ethics, and religious ethics. This book ultimately presents a new approach—the Minimize Harm Maxim, which exposes, through real and hypothetical scenarios, common practices as patently irrational and raises questions few authors are willing to entertain about the way we value life and our attitudes toward death. At every turn, In Search of Consistency reminds that ethics carry an expectation of action, that ethics are intended to guide how we live.

Book excerpt: At present situation we always find we are ignoring the stigma surrounding men and their mental health that stops many men from seeking help when they need it the most and it’s literally killing them. Men’s mental health is so underestimated. Basically, we all live in a society where people believe that men are supposed to be the strong both physically and mentally. Right from childhood when a male infant falls and cries, he is instructed to stop crying because crying is for girls and men cannot do that. Our intention here is to bring forth your attention towards men’s dilemma that they face regularly and that which is usually ignored not just by us but also by professionals alike. We should be prioritizing men’s mental wellbeing just like any health-related issues that they have. This is what we are trying to achieve through this anthology via an untouched mindset.

Book Synopsis In Search of Our Humanity by : Valerii Aleksandrovich Kuvakin
Download or read book In Search of Our Humanity written by Valerii Aleksandrovich Kuvakin and published by Prometheus Books. This book was released on 2003-04 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Russian philosopher Valery A. Kuvakin reviews the major principles of humanism as the starting point for an overall definition of humanity. Humanism, as definied by Kuvakin, is based on the scientific method, seeks objective knowledge, is anthropocentric, uses reason as its guiding principle, and extolls common sense based on scientifically verifiable knowledge without any restriction from tradition, customs, political systems, or religion. Arrayed against these humanist values are the "pseudovalues" of the paranormal and irrational faith, and the "antivalues" of greed, corruption, addiction, violence, and environmental destruction. Avoiding both the heaven of our fantasies and the hell of our own making, humanism offers the 21st century the basis for establishing a just, free, and sane society.

Book Synopsis In Search Of A People-centric Order In Asia by : Baogang He
Download or read book In Search Of A People-centric Order In Asia written by Baogang He and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2016-09-14 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The order of international relations in Asia is predominantly state-centric. It is one based primarily on absolute national sovereignty, exclusive national identity and patriotic national citizenship. This sovereignty-based or state-centered order, however, has been challenged and progressively undermined by a people-centric order that is governed by ideals of global citizenship and principles of global justice. In this people-centric order, the emergence of a new form of politics in which citizens are empowered by various non-governmental organizations that serve to define and influence world politics is envisaged. Clearly, such an order clashes with the prevailing Asian national sovereignty-based model.This book provides a systematic descriptive, explanatory and normative analysis of the clash of normative orders in Asia, and develops an analysis of Asian responses to the challenge posed by a more diffuse people-centric order and the implications this may have for global justice.The book aims to study two paradigms of political order — a national statist sovereignty-based order and a people-centric order, analyze the conflict between two diverse political paradigms within an Asian setting, and assess the various challenges a people-centric order poses for a sovereignty-based order. It also aims to address the paucity of Asian normative thinking through a synthesis of intellectual sources and normative theories. It applies, tests, revises and develops Western normative theories of the people-centric order.It is a must read for students and researchers who are interested in the theoretical debates — especially Asian voices — on normative issues in Asia.
Book Synopsis In Search of Common Ground on Abortion by : Robin West
Download or read book In Search of Common Ground on Abortion written by Robin West and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together academics, legal practitioners and activists with a wide range of pro-choice, pro-life and other views to explore the possibilities for cultural, philosophical, moral and political common ground on the subjects of abortion and reproductive justice more generally. It aims to rethink polarized positions on sexuality, morality, religion and law, in relation to abortion, as a way of laying the groundwork for productive and collaborative dialogue. Edited by a leading figure on gender issues and emerging voices in the quest for reproductive justice - a broad concept that encompasses the interests of men, women and children alike - the contributions both search for 'common ground' between opposing positions in our struggles around abortion, and seek to bring balance to these contentious debates. The book will be valuable to anyone interested in law and society, gender and religious studies and philosophy and theory of law.

Book Synopsis In Search of Human Dignity by : Karin Sporre
Download or read book In Search of Human Dignity written by Karin Sporre and published by Waxmann Verlag. This book was released on 2015 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our human dignity can be taken from us in unjust relationships, which makes resistance and a search for dignity necessary. This search can take place in different ways – in this book through academic studies in theology, ethics and education. Human dignity relates to human rights, which are also explored here; moreover, perspectives from gender and postcolonial theory inform the studies. The reflection on human dignity ends in a discussion of education, making the book a resource in addressing contemporary value issues in education. This collection of lectures, articles and papers covers a certain time period. In the texts particular themes recur, which contributes to continuity and coherence. The focus of more recently written chapters takes the discussion in new directions. Karin Sporre, with a PhD in Ethics from Lund University, Sweden, is Professor in Education focusing on values, gender and diversity at Umeå University, Sweden. Since 2001 she has been actively engaged in co-operation with South African colleagues. This has inspired comparison between South Africa and Sweden, exemplified in some of the chapters in her book "In Search of Human Dignity".
