Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The deliberate devaluation of Blacks and their communities has had very real, far-reaching, and negative economic and social effects. An enduring white supremacist myth claims brutal conditions in Black communities are mainly the result of Black people's collective choices and moral failings. “That's just how they are” or “there's really no excuse”: we've all heard those not so subtle digs. But there is nothing wrong with Black people that ending racism can't solve. We haven't known how much the country will gain by properly valuing homes and businesses, family structures, voters, and school districts in Black neighborhoods. And we need to know. Noted educator, journalist, and scholar Andre Perry takes readers on a tour of six Black-majority cities whose assets and strengths are undervalued. Perry begins in his hometown of Wilkinsburg, a small city east of Pittsburgh that, unlike its much larger neighbor, is struggling and failing to attract new jobs and industry. Bringing his own personal story of growing up in Black-majority Wilkinsburg, Perry also spotlights five others where he has deep connections: Detroit, Birmingham, New Orleans, Atlanta, and Washington, D.C. He provides an intimate look at the assets that should be of greater value to residents—and that can be if they demand it. Perry provides a new means of determining the value of Black communities. Rejecting policies shaped by flawed perspectives of the past and present, it gives fresh insights on the historical effects of racism and provides a new value paradigm to limit them in the future. Know Your Price demonstrates the worth of Black people's intrinsic personal strengths, real property, and traditional institutions. These assets are a means of empowerment and, as Perry argues in this provocative and very personal book, are what we need to know and understand to build Black prosperity.

Download or read book When only the Sky is the Limit written by Kerstin Leitner and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-02-14 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kerstin Leitner has worked as a staff member of the United Nations for 30 years from 1975 - 2005. What makes her memoirs interesting to read is the fine combination of practical work and reflections of why the UN is such a unique place to work for. She shows that when working in Africa, the Arab world, China and when introducing modern information and communication technologies globally to the UN, things appear very similar to work in other, national and socio-economic settings and yet they are distinctively different. Ms Leitner's years with the UN span part of the Cold War era and the post-1989 period, when only one superpower remained and the market economies of the Western world began to dominate the global economy. As a German, she was among the first to serve the UN after the two German states joined the world organization in 1973. As a woman, she was among the first generation that broke through the glass ceiling for women and rose to the senior management level.

This book was released on 2012-12-14 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second volume begins with the dawn of the eighteenth century, and relates how the Congregation of the Mission, founded by St. Vincent de Paul, worked to remain faithful to his vision while adapting itself to the demands of ecclesiastical and political life in France, Italy, Poland, Spain, and Portugal, overseas missions in North Africa and the Mascarenes, as well as the missions taken up after the suppression of the Jesuits in the Middle East and China. Among other problems, the Missioners found themselves in the middle of fights over Jansenism, but tempered by the success of the canonization of Saint Vincent de Paul. This is an important, down-to-earth side of history not often told.
Book Synopsis Devaluing Black Space by : Courtney Marie Bonam
Download or read book Devaluing Black Space written by Courtney Marie Bonam and published by Stanford University. This book was released on 2010 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do spaces have races? Why might space-race associations matter? Across four studies, participants attached racial meaning to a range of locations, as well as negatively stereotyped and reported feeling less connected to Black spaces in particular. Negative stereotyping and lack of connection to Black space explained why these spaces experienced both housing and environmental discrimination. Studies 1 and 2 participants generated raced spaces and then rated the extent to which they thought of these locations (i.e. inner cities, suburbs) as White or Black. The more Black spaces were, the less White they were, showing participants made clear distinctions between these two types of spaces. Further, the Black spaces were rated more negatively than the White spaces, showing participants devalued Black space. Study 3 expanded this finding by manipulating the race of one location—a house for sale by a Black or White family. Participants gave the Black house, relative to the White, a lower evaluation (i.e. they thought it was worth less and were less eager to move there). The Black house received this lower evaluation because participants negatively stereotyped it. They imagined the neighborhood surrounding it to be lower quality than the neighborhood they imagined around the White house (i.e. less safe, lower quality schools and municipal services). Additionally, participants reported feeling less connected to the neighborhood around the Black house, which also helped to explain its lower evaluation. Study 4 participants again discriminated against Black space—this time in the environmental domain. Participants read a proposal to place a potentially polluting chemical plant near a majority Black or White neighborhood. They reported less opposition to this plant when the nearby neighborhood was Black. This Black space received less environmental protection because participants were more likely to think it already housed other industrial facilities (industrial space stereotype) and again because they reported feeling less connected to it. These results are important not only because they expand theory on racial discrimination, stereotyping, and sense of place, but also because they provide an enhanced understanding of the causal role race plays in producing and maintaining disparities in access to high quality, healthy living spaces.

Book excerpt: The economy continues to recover at a steady pace, buoyed by strong activity in the oil and gold sectors, as well as public investment. In the wake of the January 2011 devaluation and concurrent increase in taxes, the fiscal balance shifted from a deficit of 3 percent of GDP in 2010 to a surplus of 1 percent in 2011. The balance of payment also strengthened significantly, boosting reserves to nearly US$1 billion (51⁄4 months of imports) at end-2011. With still-tight monetary conditions, 12-month inflation dropped to 3.6 percent in May 2012, from a peak of over 22 percent in April 2011.
