Download or read book Sundown Towns written by James W. Loewen and published by The New Press. This book was released on 2018-07-17 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Powerful and important . . . an instant classic." —The Washington Post Book World The award-winning look at an ugly aspect of American racism by the bestselling author of Lies My Teacher Told Me, reissued with a new preface by the author In this groundbreaking work, sociologist James W. Loewen, author of the classic bestseller Lies My Teacher Told Me, brings to light decades of hidden racial exclusion in America. In a provocative, sweeping analysis of American residential patterns, Loewen uncovers the thousands of "sundown towns"—almost exclusively white towns where it was an unspoken rule that blacks weren't welcome—that cropped up throughout the twentieth century, most of them located outside of the South. Written with Loewen's trademark honesty and thoroughness, Sundown Towns won the Gustavus Myers Outstanding Book Award, received starred reviews in Publishers Weekly and Booklist, and launched a nationwide online effort to track down and catalog sundown towns across America. In a new preface, Loewen puts this history in the context of current controversies around white supremacy and the Black Lives Matter movement. He revisits sundown towns and finds the number way down, but with notable exceptions in exclusive all-white suburbs such as Kenilworth, Illinois, which as of 2010 had not a single black household. And, although many former sundown towns are now integrated, they often face "second-generation sundown town issues," such as in Ferguson, Missouri, a former sundown town that is now majority black, but with a majority-white police force.
Book Synopsis Driving While Black: African American Travel and the Road to Civil Rights by : Gretchen Sorin
Download or read book Driving While Black: African American Travel and the Road to Civil Rights written by Gretchen Sorin and published by Liveright Publishing. This book was released on 2020-02-11 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bloomberg • Best Nonfiction Books of 2020: "[A] tour de force." The basis of a major PBS documentary by Ric Burns, this “excellent history” (The New Yorker) reveals how the automobile fundamentally changed African American life. Driving While Black demonstrates that the car—the ultimate symbol of independence and possibility—has always held particular importance for African Americans, allowing black families to evade the dangers presented by an entrenched racist society and to enjoy, in some measure, the freedom of the open road. Melding new archival research with her family’s story, Gretchen Sorin recovers a lost history, demonstrating how, when combined with black travel guides—including the famous Green Book—the automobile encouraged a new way of resisting oppression.

Book Synopsis Overground Railroad by : Candacy A. Taylor
Download or read book Overground Railroad written by Candacy A. Taylor and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2020-01-07 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historical exploration of the Green Book offers “a fascinating [and] sweeping story of black travel within Jim Crow America across four decades” (The New York Times Book Review). Published from 1936 to 1966, the Green Book was hailed as the “black travel guide to America.” At that time, it was very dangerous and difficult for African-Americans to travel because they couldn’t eat, sleep, or buy gas at most white-owned businesses. The Green Book listed hotels, restaurants, gas stations, and other businesses that were safe for black travelers. It was a resourceful and innovative solution to a horrific problem. It took courage to be listed in the Green Book, and Overground Railroad celebrates the stories of those who put their names in the book and stood up against segregation. Author Candacy A. Taylor shows the history of the Green Book, how we arrived at our present historical moment, and how far we still have to go when it comes to race relations in America.

Download or read book Damaged People written by Thomas Avant and published by Thomas Avant. This book was released on 2020-12-19 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Narcissist's Prayer by Dayna Craig: "That didn't happen. And if it did, it wasn't that bad. And if it was, that's not a big deal. And if it is, that's not my fault. And if it was, I didn't mean it. And if I did, you deserved it." As best-selling author and The Life Doctor, Dr. Supriya McKenna, states: "The Narcissist's Prayer by Dayna Craig beautifully illustrates the inner workings of the narcissistic mind. Denial, gaslighting, minimising poor behaviour, blameshifting and shamedumping all feature in this one simple verse, all hallmarks of covert emotional abuse. To a narcissist the 'truth' is not seen as a finite, fixed entity, but as being malleable - as being whatever the narcissist says it is, at the time they say it. The truth is simply whatever serves the narcissist at that particular time." In this candid memoir, interwoven with scholarly research, author Thomas Avant discusses narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), the collective narcissism inherent in today’s social and political realms, and the ultimate damage caused by individual and collective narcissists in terms of racism, bigotry, toxicity in the workplace, democratic decay, political stagnation, broken families, anti-intellectualism, and a range of other sociopsychological factors prevalent in society today. Published in December 2020, just weeks before the American Capitol insurrection and after four years of the first Donald Trump presidency, Avant conducts a deeper analysis of the American psyche and the collective narcissism that has replaced the communal mindset in American life to help us understand the factors that have now led us to the sweeping, improbable re-election of a destructive malignant narcissist. Why do Americans seem to seek narcissistic leadership and vote to forfeit their civil rights to such a leader? Why do Americans believe blatant lies that can easily be fact-checked and shirk inconvenient truths? Why do family members drive loved ones farther away instead of owning their faults and flaws to bring forth reconciliation and strengthen these familial bonds. When all other avenues of understanding fail, we must look to psychology for the answer. Narcissists fear self-awareness and evaluation and evade truth because of what may be revealed about themselves. Deep-rooted insecurity fuels the fear of guilt and vulnerability. As James Baldwin stated in Going to Meet the Man: “It is astonishing the lengths to which a person, or a people, will go in order to avoid a truthful mirror.” This is one of the reasons it’s so difficult for narcissists to seek and find a cure for their personality disorder. No matter how much physical/emotional/psychological damage they cause to those around them, they usually aren’t willing to admit they have a problem. It’s always the victim’s, or someone else’s, fault. Depending on the level of narcissism inherent in the individual, it can be impossible to confront the narcissist on their behavior and get any resolution or reconciliation. Through gaslighting, role reversal, and victim blaming, they completely shut down the complainant, rendering resolution/reconciliation impossible. It’s also difficult to forgive someone who can’t admit they’ve caused any pain or damage and who continues to exhibit the same behavior and victimize others. This leads to the only plausible scenario: “no-contact” with the oppressor. This can be extremely difficult if the oppressor is a family member, colleague, boss, or someone close to the victim. This searingly honesty account of the author’s view of the narcissistic society we inhabit and its lasting effects on us all will, hopefully, shed light on the connections between the psychology of the narcissist, our sorted American history, the current politically divisive and tumultuous climate in America, and the sociopsychological factors inherent in American society today.
