Book Synopsis Margins and Mainstreams by : Gary Y. Okihiro
Download or read book Margins and Mainstreams written by Gary Y. Okihiro and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this classic book on the meaning of multiculturalism in larger American society, Gary Okihiro explores the significance of Asian American experiences from the perspectives of historical consciousness, race, gender, class, and culture. While exploring anew the meanings of Asian American social history, Okihiro argues that the core values and ideals of the nation emanate today not from the so-called mainstream but from the margins, from among Asian and African Americans, Latinos and American Indians, women, and the gay and lesbian community. Those groups in their struggles for equality, have helped to preserve and advance the founders’ ideals and have made America a more democratic place for all.
Book Synopsis In the Margins No More by : Azhar Ul Haque Sario
Download or read book In the Margins No More written by Azhar Ul Haque Sario and published by Tredition Gmbh. This book was released on 2024-02-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The struggle for representation plays a central role in this analysis. The book exposes the harmful stereotypes that media and pop culture have employed to dehumanize minorities. With critical insight, it traces the journey from tokenism in various arenas towards more nuanced portrayals, fueled in part by digital technology, where marginalized voices find spaces to tell their own stories. Despite systemic barriers, minorities refuse to be silenced politically. "In the Margins No More: Systems of Minority Oppression" investigates the historical fight for voting rights and political representation and charts the rise of minority figures in positions of leadership. Importantly, it illuminates alternative, impactful means of political action beyond just traditional electoral arenas. Cultural expression functions as a vital battleground for recognition and survival. The book explores the fraught line between appropriation and appreciation of minority cultures and how issues of intellectual property intersect with cultural survival. It raises complex questions about cultural commodification and the challenges of safeguarding identity while seeking wider audiences. This deeply engaging book doesn't shy away from the devastating long-term impacts of structural oppression. Groundbreaking research reveals how historical trauma reverberates across generations, affecting physical and mental health as well as the outlook of marginalized communities. Yet, amidst the enduring legacies of pain, the book also documents inspiring community-based approaches to healing. The fight for preserving memory plays a central role in the quest for justice. Powerful chapters unveil how official histories often exclude the suffering and triumphs of marginalized groups, while spotlighting sites of conscience and digital archiving projects that counter this erasure. The book delves into the global debate over reparations and transitional justice for crimes against minority communities, going be

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2014 in the subject Literature - General, grade: 2 (B), , language: English, abstract: The awakening of the voices of the marginalized classes especially the ethnic, racial minorities and other oppressed classes in recent years is to be understood as part of the overall shift of paradigm in cultural discourses that took place with the advent of postmodernism and related developments. The manifest forms of changes in this regard include a number of revolutionary practices initiated by literary and cultural critics and writers in the interest of social change mostly from the third world countries. (The term ‘third world’ is used as “a proper name to a generalised margin”([Spivak 199) and it is to be noted that the general use of the term in the West has ramifications as deep as the old and new varieties of colonialism.

Book Synopsis Mainstream and Margins Revisited by : Peter Isaac Rose
Download or read book Mainstream and Margins Revisited written by Peter Isaac Rose and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When his book Mainstream and Margins was published in 1983, Peter Rose's writings on American minorities and those who studied them painted a vivid picture of what life was like in America for Jews, blacks, and other minorities in the United States. Now, a third of a century later, he revisits the topic, with sixteen new chapters, in addition to seven from the original edition. Newer content covers immigration and American refugee policy; reexamines the term "model minority," first used to describe Jews, but now applied to Asian Americans; and the resurgence of nativism both in regard to new migrants from Latin America and to the growth of Islamophobia since the 9/11 attacks. Rose also reassesses what is still one of the most controversial documents about race and class ever written, Daniel Patrick Moynihan's "The Negro Family: A Case for National Action." Rose writes about other authors who have addressed many of the principal concerns of this book, ranging from novelists Tom Wolfe and Harper Lee to sociologists David Riesman, Robin M. Williams, Jr., and William Julius Wilson. Historical tensions between Jews and African Americans and debates about "liberal" vs. "corporate" pluralism seen from the perspective of both whites and non-whites are also discussed in this seminal volume by a master on the subject.
Book Synopsis On the Margins of a Minority by : Ephraim Shoham-Steiner
Download or read book On the Margins of a Minority written by Ephraim Shoham-Steiner and published by Wayne State University Press. This book was released on 2014-01-06 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explores social additudes towards individuals on the margins of medieval European Jewish society. In medieval Europe, the much larger Christian population regarded Jews as their inferiors, but how did both Christians and Jews feel about those who were marginalized within the Ashkenazi Jewish community? In On the Margins of a Minority: Leprosy, Madness, and Disability among the Jews of Medieval Europe, author Ephraim Shoham-Steiner explores the life and plight of three of these groups. Shoham-Steiner draws on a wide variety of late-tenth- to fifteenth-century material from both internal (Jewish) as well as external (non-Jewish) sources to reconstruct social attitudes toward these "others," including lepers, madmen, and the physically impaired. Shoham-Steiner considers how the outsiders were treated by their respective communities, while also maintaining a delicate balance with the surrounding non-Jewish community. On the Margins of a Minority is structured in three pairs of chapters addressing each of these three marginal groups. The first pair deals with the moral attitude toward leprosy and its sufferers; the second with the manifestations of madness and its causes as seen by medieval men and women, and the effect these signs had on the treatment of the insane; the third with impaired and disabled individuals, including those with limited mobility, manual dysfunction, deafness, and blindness. Shoham-Steiner also addresses questions of the religious meaning of impairment in light of religious conceptions of the ideal body. He concludes with a bibliography of sources and studies that informed the research, including useful midrashic, exegetical, homiletic, ethical, and guidance literature, and texts from responsa and halakhic rulings. Understanding and exploring attitudes toward groups and individuals considered "other" by mainstream society provides us with information about marginalized groups, as well as the inner social mechanisms at work in a larger society. On the Margins of a Minority will appeal to scholars of Jewish medieval history as well as readers interested in the growing field of disability studies.

Book Synopsis Margins of Insecurity by : Sam C. Nolutshungu
Download or read book Margins of Insecurity written by Sam C. Nolutshungu and published by University Rochester Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A number of crises since the end of the Cold War have demonstrated the insecurity of ordinary people in circumstances where states are either unable to provide protection, or are themselves the principle sources of violence. Public opinion has provoked international politicians to recognise a problem in which they should intervene; but it is rare for effective policies to be implemented. Emerging from a series of workshops on the International Security of Marginal Populations, the essays seek solutions which go beyond the traditional emphasis on the interests of the state, and give due weight to the needs of minority populations. SAM C. NOLUTSHUNGUwas Professor of Political Science in the Frederick Douglass Institute of African and African-American studies at the University of Rochester.

Book Synopsis The Place of the Social Margins, 1350-1750 by : Andrew Spicer
Download or read book The Place of the Social Margins, 1350-1750 written by Andrew Spicer and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-08-12 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This interdisciplinary volume illuminates the shadowy history of the disadvantaged, sick and those who did not conform to the accepted norms of society. It explores how marginal identity was formed, perceived and represented in Britain and Europe during the medieval and early modern periods. It illustrates that the identities of marginal groups were shaped by their place within primarily urban communities, both in terms of their socio-economic status and the spaces in which they lived and worked. Some of these groups – such as executioners, prostitutes, pedlars and slaves – performed a significant social and economic function but on the basis of this were stigmatized by other townspeople. Language was used to control and limit the activities of others within society such as single women and foreigners, as well as the victims of sexual crimes. For many, such as lepers and the disabled, marginal status could be ambiguous, cyclical or short-lived and affected by key religious, political and economic events. Traditional histories have often considered these groups in isolation. Based on new research, a series of case studies from Britain and across Europe illustrate and provide important insights into the problems faced by these marginal groups and the ways in which medieval and early modern communities were shaped and developed.

Book Synopsis German History from the Margins by : Neil Gregor
Download or read book German History from the Margins written by Neil Gregor and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2006-06-14 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: German History from the Margins offers new ways of thinking about ethnic and religious minorities and other outsiders in modern German history. Many established paradigms of German history are challenged by the contributors' new and often provocative findings, including evidence of the striking cosmopolitanism of Germany's 19th-century eastern border communities; German Jewry's sophisticated appropriation of the discourse of tribe and race; the unexpected absence of antisemitism in Weimar's campaign against smut; the Nazi embrace of purportedly "Jewish" sexual behavior; and post-war West Germany's struggles with ethnic and racial minorities despite its avowed liberalism. Germany's minorities have always been active partners in defining what it is to be German, and even after 1945, despite the legacy of the Nazis' murderous destructiveness, German society continues to be characterized by ethnic and cultural diversity.
Book Synopsis Democratic Theorizing from the Margins by : Marla Brettschneider
Download or read book Democratic Theorizing from the Margins written by Marla Brettschneider and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 2007-02-16 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Democratic Theorizing from the Margins lays out the basic parameters of diversity-based politics as a still emerging form of democratic theory. Students, activists, and scholars engage in diversity politics on the ground, but generally remain unable to conceptualize a broad understanding of how "politics from the margins"-that is, political thinking and action that comes from groups often left on the outside of mainstream organizing and action-operates effectively in different contexts and environments. Brettschneider offers concrete lessons from many movements to see what they tell us about a new sort of democratic politics. She also addresses traditional democratic theories and draws on the myriad discerning practices employed by marginalized groups in their political activism to enhance the critical capacities of potential movements committed both to social change and democratic action.
