Book Synopsis Race Relations by : Stephen Steinberg
Download or read book Race Relations written by Stephen Steinberg and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2007-07-17 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stephen Steinberg offers a bold challenge to prevailing thought on race and ethnicity in American society. In a penetrating critique of the famed race relations paradigm, he asks why a paradigm invented four decades before the Civil Rights Revolution still dominates both academic and popular discourses four decades after that revolution. On race, Steinberg argues that even the language of "race relations" obscures the structural basis of racial hierarchy and inequality. Generations of sociologists have unwittingly practiced a "white sociology" that reflects white interests and viewpoints. What happens, he asks, when we foreground the interests and viewpoints of the victims, rather than the perpetrators, of racial oppression? On ethnicity, Steinberg turns the tables and shows that the early sociologists who predicted ultimate assimilation have been vindicated by history. The evidence is overwhelming that the new immigrants, including Asians and most Latinos, are following in the footsteps of past immigrants—footsteps leading into the melting pot. But even today, there is the black exception. The end result is a dual melting pot—one for peoples of African descent and the other for everybody else. Race Relations: A Critique cuts through layers of academic jargon to reveal unsettling truths that call into question the nature and future of American nationality.

Book Synopsis Sociology and the Race Problem by : James B. McKee
Download or read book Sociology and the Race Problem written by James B. McKee and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tracing developments in the sociology of race relations from the 1920s to the 1960s, McKee maintains that sociologists assumed the United States would move unimpeded toward modernization and assimilation, aided by industrialization and urbanization. The fatal flaw in their perspective was the notion that blacks were culturally inferior, backward, and pre-modern, a people who had lost their own culture and couldn't grasp that of their new society. Designed to detail a failure the author says is widely acknowledged but little examined, this book will be of interest to both specialists and general readers. "Masterful. . . . McKee transports the reader back to the intellectual world in which the early sociologists worked and does not simply treat them as evil racists. His approach is informed by the sociology of knowledge." -- Lewis M. Killian, author of The Impossible Revolution, Phase 2: Black Power and the American Dream

Book Synopsis Understanding Racial and Ethnic Differences in Health in Late Life by : National Research Council
Download or read book Understanding Racial and Ethnic Differences in Health in Late Life written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-09-08 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the population of older Americans grows, it is becoming more racially and ethnically diverse. Differences in health by racial and ethnic status could be increasingly consequential for health policy and programs. Such differences are not simply a matter of education or ability to pay for health care. For instance, Asian Americans and Hispanics appear to be in better health, on a number of indicators, than White Americans, despite, on average, lower socioeconomic status. The reasons are complex, including possible roles for such factors as selective migration, risk behaviors, exposure to various stressors, patient attitudes, and geographic variation in health care. This volume, produced by a multidisciplinary panel, considers such possible explanations for racial and ethnic health differentials within an integrated framework. It provides a concise summary of available research and lays out a research agenda to address the many uncertainties in current knowledge. It recommends, for instance, looking at health differentials across the life course and deciphering the links between factors presumably producing differentials and biopsychosocial mechanisms that lead to impaired health.
Book Synopsis Please Stop Helping Us by : Jason L. Riley
Download or read book Please Stop Helping Us written by Jason L. Riley and published by Encounter Books. This book was released on 2016-01-05 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is it that so many efforts by liberals to lift the black underclass not only fail, but often harm the intended beneficiaries? In Please Stop Helping Us, Jason L. Riley examines how well-intentioned welfare programs are in fact holding black Americans back. Minimum-wage laws may lift earnings for people who are already employed, but they price a disproportionate number of blacks out of the labor force. Affirmative action in higher education is intended to address past discrimination, but the result is fewer black college graduates than would otherwise exist. And so it goes with everything from soft-on-crime laws, which make black neighborhoods more dangerous, to policies that limit school choice out of a mistaken belief that charter schools and voucher programs harm the traditional public schools that most low-income students attend. In theory these efforts are intended to help the poor—and poor minorities in particular. In practice they become massive barriers to moving forward. Please Stop Helping Us lays bare these counterproductive results. People of goodwill want to see more black socioeconomic advancement, but in too many instances the current methods and approaches aren’t working. Acknowledging this is an important first step.

Book Synopsis Diversity by : Charles Nathaniel Smith
Download or read book Diversity written by Charles Nathaniel Smith and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2020-11-08 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diversity: A Reality for America, Racism Still Its Nightmare was written to provide a contemporary look at historical events in America and offer a forward-thinking viewpoint on how if certain major institutions took the lead on race relations and race intervention, their impact would forever change the face of America’s racial problems. W. E. DuBois stated in 1903, “That the problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color line.” However, what we have witnessed in America as the problem of the twentieth-first century is blatant and covert “racism.” The book takes a look at the public school system, including higher education institutions in America, and proposes that if they had focused on the race issue differently, where we would be, as a country, in the area of race relations? The author believes that we would live as the constitution stands for “We as a People,” not one people, but all people where all lives truly matters, every day. The book examines several areas: children growth, public schools, higher education, television, the government, and the military. It highlights points in American history where African American people have played a significant role in America’s success but also exposes times when America has treated African American people as less than citizens and developed policies and laws that intentionally prevented them from being on equal standing with other American citizens. The book primarily focuses on African Americans and their relationship with America because aside from other races, the race issue in this country is largely dynamically woven between the African Americans and the American society in which we live. Although America has excelled in many areas involving inventions, technology, research, science, and space travel, it has fallen tragically short with developing the human spirit for all American citizens. The author believes that if we are able to make significant progress in these relationships then America will move forward and truly become “great.” Many are aware that this information is not new; however, the book approaches the topic in a very creative way, in order to assist readers in finding a place to consider their views on race relations in America. A section is devoted to the topic of “white privilege,” which the author believes is real in America. Another chapter focuses on African American achievement in the military and their history of commitment to America but also discusses how they were treated after each war until a failed war caused the military to rethink their policies concerning race. In each of the major institutions discussed in the book, the central theme is, if America and these areas would only take a different position on race relations in American, there could be a positive and significant way white Americans and African Americans would interact and relate to one another beyond the public display of a few biracial marriages. A deeper personal transformation would ensue that could impact how white Americans educate their children about race and discuss the topic among their families and friends. The race issue has been both debated and casted aside by politicians and those in leadership positions because the excuse is the government cannot regular race relations, yet it manages to regulate everything else. The book is written to educate some, inform others, enlighten all, and calls for America to face the issue and take action. At the end of each chapter, there is a list of recommendations that have been passed down through history and some that the author recommends. The book makes the point that if we teach about race and the benefits of diversity at the beginning of life and throughout each person’s life, perhaps we would approach race with a different and more accepting state of mind.
