Ethnic Studies At The Crossroads

by George Lipsitz

~~26,84€~~ 24,16€ 10% OFF

 One of the field's most respected veterans reckons with the state of ethnic studies, from its conflicted past to its transformative future.   Ethnic studies is more visible than ever. A project that once struggled at the margins of academic and public life has now achieved significant levels of prominence and impact, not without threat from well-funded political and legal campaigns against critical affirmative action, critical race theory, and diversity, equity, and inclusion policies. In this "moment of danger," George Lipsitz looks at the current state of the field.   Outlining the painful contradictions faced within, Lipsitz delineates the ways in which ethnic studies produces opposition, experiences incorporation, and equips people to challenge, survive, and overcome oppression. He also looks at its potential in connecting those across the academy with broader community circles and discovering unexpected alliances and affinities. Critical yet optimistic, this book upholds the promising wider role of ethnic studies in social transformation.

Health As Property - Racial Capitalism And Sexual Liberalism In Los Angeles

by Nic John Ramos

~~28,76€~~ 25,88€ 10% OFF

 Health as Property shows how responses to racism can be predatory, harmful, and dangerous to poor people of color. Nic John Ramos examines a Black-led academic medical center known as King-Drew that was built in response to the 1965 Watts Uprising. Forged by the political willingness of white voters to experiment with anti-poverty programs in poor neighborhoods of color, the health system's multiple missions represented the freedom dreams of civil rights, Black Power, welfare rights, and consumer rights activists in the 1960s and 1970s. However, during Los Angeles's rise as a global city in the 1970s and 1980s, white voters' desire to realize these dreams was curtailed by renewed narratives of health rooted in racist, sexist, homophobic, and transphobic ideas about poor people of color. Instead of working to combat the forces of racial and sexual capitalism underlying health inequality, a diverse group of liberal progressive leaders inverted the healthcare aims of King-Drew. Health as Property demonstrates how healthcare policy in America is both labor and real estate policy, and as such preserves health as the property of a select few.
