Book Synopsis Race and the Black Male Subculture by : William T. Hoston
Download or read book Race and the Black Male Subculture written by William T. Hoston and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-05-11 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a study of black masculinity in the twenty-first century. Through a series of critical and interdisciplinary essays, this work examines the image of the black male in American society as a Toby Waller stereotype. Toby Waller is the fictional, yet symbolic character from Alex Haley’s highly acclaimed book and mini-series, Roots. It is a richly detailed, fictional story about slavery and one enslaved African man’s struggle to regain freedom. The parallel of the life of enslaved Toby Waller is similar to present day black males. Both are individuals who are often stripped of their cultural identity and exist within an institutional and systemic framework that devalues black male life. This dichotomy is the historical platform to discuss how those in the annals of white America demarcate which embodiment merits inclusion into societal acceptance.
Book Synopsis Black Masculinity in the Obama Era by : W. Hoston
Download or read book Black Masculinity in the Obama Era written by W. Hoston and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-08-07 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black Masculinity in the Obama Era provides an in-depth examination of the current state of black males and identifies the impact of living in the Obama era. In the era of the first black president, Barack H. Obama, this book gauges the status of black masculinity and provokes discourse to discover whether his election and presence has had an influential impact on black male achievement. A purposeful sample of black males was asked, what does it mean to be a black male in the 21st century? Throughout the interviews with black males, we learn that the 'Obama Effect' has not had the intended impact on black male achievement and black males continue to be plagued by structural and cultural forces that have historically burdened their plight and level of achievement.
Book Synopsis The Education of Black Males in a 'Post-Racial' World by : Anthony L. Brown
Download or read book The Education of Black Males in a 'Post-Racial' World written by Anthony L. Brown and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Education of Black Males in a ‘Post-Racial’ World examines the varied structural and discursive contexts of race, masculinities and class that shape the educational and social lives of Black males. The contributing authors take direct aim at the current discourses that construct Black males as disengaged in schooling because of an autonomous Black male culture, and explore how media, social sciences, school curriculum, popular culture and sport can define and constrain the lives of Black males. The chapters also provide alternative methodologies, theories and analyses for making sense of and addressing the complex needs of Black males in schools and in society. By expanding our understanding of how unequal access to productive opportunities and quality resources converge to systemically create disparate experiences and outcomes for African-American males, this volume powerfully illustrates that race still matters in 'post-racial' America. This book was originally published as a special issue of Race Ethnicity and Education.
Book Synopsis The Un-Civil War by : Taleeb Starkes
Download or read book The Un-Civil War written by Taleeb Starkes and published by . This book was released on 2013-05-04 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A disgusted Black man boldly confronts the dysfunctional and criminal subculture (along with their apologists) that exists within the African-American community. This race-realist endeavor exposes many inconvenient truths, and will certainly become a catalyst for candid conversation. Flooded with statistics, headlines, pictures, and other evidence, this book is not simply an anecdotal tale of a miserable, inner-city existence... it's a war report.
Book Synopsis Black Male Deviance by : Anthony J. Lemelle
Download or read book Black Male Deviance written by Anthony J. Lemelle and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1995 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many studies of Black men have been and will be produced, but most have approached the subject from angles other than a position of scholarship that explores how Black men have come to be socially produced as deviants, and asks how have persons in academe participated in the production of these perceived deviants, and how has the Black community responded to this social construct of a role. This work is directed toward sociologists and those who are interested in the study of the Black community.
Download or read book Race Rebels written by Robin D. G. Kelley and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 1996-06-01 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many black strategies of daily resistance have been obscured--until now. Race rebels, argues Kelley, have created strategies of resistance, movements, and entire subcultures. Here, for the first time, everyday race rebels are given the historiographical attention they deserve, from the Jim Crow era to the present.
Book Synopsis Black Men and Racial Trauma by : Yamonte Cooper
Download or read book Black Men and Racial Trauma written by Yamonte Cooper and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-02-23 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume comprehensively addresses racial trauma from a clinical lens, equipping mental health professionals across all disciplines to be culturally responsive when serving Black men. Written using a transdisciplinary approach, Yamonte Cooper presents a Unified Theory of Racism (UTR), Integrated Model of Racial Trauma (IMRT), Transgenerational Trauma Points (TTP), Plantation Politics, Black Male Negation (BMN), and Race-Based Shame (RBS) to fill a critical and urgent void in the mental health field and emerging scholarship on racial trauma. Chapters begin with specific definitions of racism before exploring specific challenges that Black men face, such as racial discrimination and health, trauma, criminalization, economic deprivation, anti-Black misandry, and culturally-specific stressors, emotions, such as shame and anger, and coping mechanisms that these men utilize. After articulating the racial trauma of Black men in a comprehensive manner, the book provides insight into what responsive care looks like as well as clinical interventions that can inform treatment approaches. This book is invaluable reading for all established and training mental health clinicians that work with Black men, such as psychologists, marriage and family therapists, social workers, counselors, and psychiatrists.
Book Synopsis Are Black Men Doomed? by : Alford A. Young, Jr.
Download or read book Are Black Men Doomed? written by Alford A. Young, Jr. and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2018-01-16 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life for too many African American men is a battle with extreme disadvantage, a fight for survival, and a struggle for dignity in a society which labels them a "problem." For more than 30 years, most of the effort put toward addressing the crisis of Black men has centered on what they must do to improve their condition. Without neglecting that perspective, Are Black men doomed? radically shifts the focus. This urgent intervention explores how a damning portrait of Black men as incorrigibly pernicious has been built and persists, and how the voice of these men themselves has been ignored. It astutely argues that improving the prospects for Black men requires that society fully come to terms with the narrow and incomplete vision it has sustained about these men. It then shows us the means to hear, understand, and value them, offering a new vision rooted in reinterpretation and redemption.
Download or read book Race Men written by Hazel V. Carby and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who are the "race men" standing for black America? It is a question Hazel Carby rejects, along with its long-standing assumption: that a particular type of black male can represent the race. A searing critique of definitions of black masculinity at work in American culture, Race Men shows how these defining images play out socially, culturally, and politically for black and white society--and how they exclude women altogether. Carby begins by looking at images of black masculinity in the work of W. E. B. Du Bois. Her analysis of The Souls of Black Folk reveals the narrow and rigid code of masculinity that Du Bois applied to racial achievement and advancement--a code that remains implicitly but firmly in place today in the work of celebrated African American male intellectuals. The career of Paul Robeson, the music of Huddie Ledbetter, and the writings of C. L. R. James on cricket and on the Haitian revolutionary, Toussaint L'Ouverture, offer further evidence of the social and political uses of representations of black masculinity. In the music of Miles Davis and the novels of Samuel R. Delany, Carby finds two separate but related challenges to conventions of black masculinity. Examining Hollywood films, she traces through the career of Danny Glover the development of a cultural narrative that promises to resolve racial contradictions by pairing black and white men--still leaving women out of the picture. A powerful statement by a major voice among black feminists, Race Men holds out the hope that by understanding how society has relied upon affirmations of masculinity to resolve social and political crises, we can learn to transcend them.
Book Synopsis Crime and Racial Constructions by : Jeanette Covington
Download or read book Crime and Racial Constructions written by Jeanette Covington and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2010-04-12 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crime and Racial Constructions: Cultural Misinformation about African Americans in Media and Academia critically examines how the film industry and criminologists have constructed African Americans in their effort to explain observed race differences in crime. Of particular concern is how the images they paint of violent, out-of-control blacks result in hardline criminal justice policies.
Book Synopsis Solutions For Anti-Black Misandry, Flat Blackness, and Black Male Death by : T. Hasan Johnson
Download or read book Solutions For Anti-Black Misandry, Flat Blackness, and Black Male Death written by T. Hasan Johnson and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-08-15 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deconstructs stereotypes about Black men through the exploration of their vulnerability, drawing attention to their demographic-specific issues and needs that are so rarely articulated. Since the Black Power era, many Black men have responded with a Black identity affirming sensibility that sought to advance the cause of Black people. However, Black males have a need for race and gender-specific vocabulary that explains their experience with specificity, including concepts such as Black Masculinism, anti-Black misandry, and Black Andromortality, which seek to explain the experiences of Black males from the context of their lived experiences. Drawing upon empirical data, this volume offers policy solutions that challenge the institutional prejudices against Black males and the disproportionately high rates of death they face. Solutions are proposed to the outlined challenges and chapters span topics such as social and family-based solutions, health, small business support, law, and policy. This book will be essential reading for researchers, professionals, and anyone interested in masculinity, gender studies, and Black Male Studies.

Download or read book Violent Crime written by Darnell F. Hawkins and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-02-24 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analysts have long noted that some societies have much higher rates of criminal violence than others. They have also observed that the risk of being a victim or a perpetrator of violent crime varies considerably from one individual to another. In societies with ethnically and racially diverse populations, some ethnic and racial groups have been reported to have higher rates of violent offending and victimization than other groups. This series of essays explores the extent and causes of racial and ethnic differences in violent crime in the United States and several other contemporary societies.

Lemelle argues that the only way to accommodate African American males is to eliminate sexism, particularly as it appears in the organization of families

Book Synopsis The Handbook of Research on Black Males by : Theodore S. Ransaw
Download or read book The Handbook of Research on Black Males written by Theodore S. Ransaw and published by MSU Press. This book was released on 2018-11-01 with total page 688 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing from the work of top researchers in various fields, The Handbook of Research on Black Males explores the nuanced and multifaceted phenomena known as the black male. Simultaneously hyper-visible and invisible, black males around the globe are being investigated now more than ever before; however, many of the well-meaning responses regarding media attention paid to black males are not well informed by research. Additionally, not all black males are the same, and each of them have varying strengths and challenges, making one-size-fits-all perspectives unproductive. This text, which acts as a comprehensive tool that can serve as a resource to articulate and argue for policy change, suggest educational improvements, and advocate judicial reform, fills a large void. The contributors, from multidisciplinary backgrounds, focus on history, research trends, health, education, criminal and social justice, hip-hop, and programs and initiatives. This volume has the potential to influence the field of research on black males as well as improve lives for a population that is often the most celebrated in the media and simultaneously the least socially valued.
Book Synopsis Criminological Perspectives on Race and Crime by : Shaun L. Gabbidon
Download or read book Criminological Perspectives on Race and Crime written by Shaun L. Gabbidon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-02-25 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ideal for use in either crime theory or race and crime courses, this is the only text to look at the array of explanations for crime as they relate to racial and ethnic groups. Each chapter begins with a historical review of each theoretical perspective and how its original formulation and more recent derivatives account for racial/ethnic differences. The theoretical perspectives include those based on religion, biology, social disorganization/strain, subculture, labeling, conflict, social control, colonial, and feminism. This new Second Edition includes discussions of "Deadly Symbiosis," critical race theory/criminology, comparative conflict theory, maximization, and abortion, race, and crime. In the closing chapter, the author considers which perspectives have shown the most promise in the area of race/ethnicity and crime.
