Class dismissed : when colleges ignore inequality and students pay the price / by Jack, Anthony Abraham,author.;

Includes bibliographical references and index."A book that examines how structural inequalities directly influence undergraduate life. Universities love to talk about diversity. They spend millions of dollars advertising just how diverse they are, offering diversity statistics that are personalized with pictures. But Anthony Jack argues that this is a superficial approach. He calls it a 'gift shop' approach that displays groups like trinkets and fails to truly serve students from underrepresented groups. Moreover, social class is almost entirely absent from the conversation. Never before have the platitudes of diversity left universities ill-prepared to support their students--especially those who are lower-income and/or first generation--than during the COVID-19 pandemic. This book sheds lights on how entrenched inequalities in students' homes and communities shape undergraduate life through the lens of how students coped with COVID-19, navigated social unrest, and experienced problems of race. Jack draws on 160 in-depth interviews with a representative sample of Asian, Black, Latino, Native and White undergraduates at Harvard and 20 interviews with students from other universities. He first examines students' home lives prior to college and campus closures and explores how the pandemic shaped their lives away from campus. He looks at those who have jobs and explores how the divergent work experiences that students have shape their broader college experience. He looks at students' strategies for navigating campus, including peer group formation and acclimation to college. The final empirical chapter explores how students understand and navigate racial unrest both on campus and in America and how their experiences vary by race. The conclusion will outline sensible and practical solutions to aid colleges in their quest to help all students"--

White man's work : race and middle-class mobility into the progressive era / by Jewell, Joseph O.,1969-author.(CARDINAL)888158;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 169-192) and index.Troubling gentility: the race-class nexus and middle-class mobility in the Gilded Age -- Fit only for a carrier's place: Black postal workers in Atlanta, 1889-1910 -- The policeman was a Mexican: Tejano lawmen in San Antonio, 1880-1910 -- Chinese blood in the Bureau: Chinese American immigration interpreters in San Francisco, 1896-1907."In the financial chaos of the last few decades, increasing wealth inequality has shaken people's expectations about middle-class stability. At the same time, demographers have predicted the 'browning' of the nation's middle class-once considered a de facto 'white' category-over the next twenty years as the country becomes increasingly racially diverse. In this book, Joseph O. Jewell takes us back to the turn of the twentieth century to show how evidence of middle-class mobility among Black, Mexican American, and Chinese men generated both new anxieties and varieties of backlash among white populations. Blending cultural history and historical sociology, Jewell chronicles the continually evolving narratives that linked whiteness with middle-class mobility and middle-class manhood. In doing so, Jewell addresses a key issue in the historical sociology of race: how racialized groups demarcate, defend, and alter social positions in overlapping hierarchies of race, class, and gender. New racist narratives about non-white men occupying middle-class occupations emerged in cities across the nation at the turn of the century. These stories helped to shore up white supremacy in the face of far-reaching changes to the nation's racialized economic order"--

This is your brain on stereotypes : how science is tackling unconscious bias / by Kyi, Tanya Lloyd,1973-author.(CARDINAL)319317; Shannon, Drew,1988-illustrator.(CARDINAL)625149;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 81-85) and index."Double Take is a fact-packed look at how science is tackling stereotypes. In the intermediate grades, students are likely to encounter and recognize all kinds of stereotypes. Our brains constantly use categories to sort and label the things (and people) around us -- both with good results and frightening ones. This book explores how we all use stereotypes and how science can help us to build more equal societies, where fewer stereotypes exist and minorities don't need to fight for equal rights. It offers plenty of hope for future equality and inclusion for all - and explains the surprising ways that science is helping us to get there."--910LAccelerated Reader AR

The pain we carry : healing from complex PTSD for people of color : reclaiming wholeness despite the burdens of systemic, intergenerational, and attachment trauma / by Gutiérrez, Natalie Y.,author.;

Includes bibliographical references."It's time to heal the invisible wounds of complex trauma and reclaim your mind, body, and spirit.If you are a person of color who has experienced repeated trauma-such as discrimination, race-related verbal assault, racial stigmatization, poverty, sexual trauma, or interpersonal violence-you may struggle with intense feelings of anger, mistrust, or shame. You may feel unsafe or uncomfortable in your own body, or struggle with building and keeping close relationships. Sometimes you may feel very alone in your pain. But you are not alone. This groundbreaking work illuminates the phenomena of complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD) as it is uniquely experienced by people of color, and provides a much-needed path to health and wholeness.In The Pain We Carry, you'll find powerful tools to help you understand and begin healing from repeated trauma. You'll discover ways to feel safer in your body, build self-compassion and resilience, and reclaim your health and wellness by reconnecting with your sense of self and your ancestral wisdom. You'll learn how trauma is connected to grief, how it can affect both the mind and the body, and how it can persist from one generation to the next. Most importantly, you'll find the validation you need to begin mending your heart, and the skills you need to live a life of intention-even in the midst of an oppressive system.It's time to find relief from the trauma and burdens you have been carrying and start celebrating and rediscovering who you are. With this guide, you will uncover your own strength in order to work toward healing C-PTSD within the external constraints you face to live a life of resilience, empowerment, reflection, and perseverance" --"This groundbreaking work illuminates the phenomena of complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD) as it is uniquely experienced by people of color, and provides a much-needed path to reclaiming health and wholeness despite the heavy burden of systemic, intergenerational, and attachment trauma resulting from racism in our country. Readers of color will find affirmation of their experience of C-PTSD from both a social justice and psychological lens, and learn techniques for reclaiming wholeness" --

Deviant hollers : queering Appalachian ecologies for a sustainable future / by McNeill, Zane,editor.; Scott, Rebecca R.,editor.(CARDINAL)888228; Foote, Stephanie,writer of foreword.(CARDINAL)887772;

"Deviant Hollers: Queering Appalachian Ecologies for a Sustainable Future uses the lens of queer ecologies to explore environmental destruction in Appalachia while mapping out alternative futures that follow from critical queer perspectives on the United States' exploitation of the land. With essays by Lis Regula, Jessica Cory, Chet Pancake, Tijah Bumgarner, MJ Eckhouse, and other essential thinkers, this collection brings to light both emergent and long-standing marginalized perspectives that give renewed energy to the struggle for a sustainable future. A new and valuable contribution to the field of Appalachian studies, rural queer studies, Indigenous studies, and ethnographic studies of the United States, Deviant Hollers presents a much-needed objection to the status quo of academic work, as well as to the American exceptionalism and white supremacy pervading US politics and the broader geopolitical climate. By focusing on queer critiques and acknowledging the status of Appalachia as a settler colony, Deviant Hollers offers new possibilities for a reimagined way of life"--Includes bibliographical references.Foreword / Stephanie Foote -- Introduction / Rebecca Scott and Zane McNeill -- Re-presenting the narrative : pursuing stories amid addiction / Tijah Bumgarner -- Intoxicated subjects : queer bodies and ecologies in "Trumpalachia" / Rebecca-Eli M.
