Racism and racial discrimination Books
Springer International Publishing AG Handbook of Racism, Xenophobia, and Populism: All
Book SynopsisThis handbook presents the roots of symbolic racism as partly in both anti-black antagonism and non-racial conservative attitudes and values, representing a new form of racism independent of older racial and political attitudes. By doing so, it homes in on certain historical incidents and episodes and presents a cogent analysis of anti-black, Jim Crowism, anti-people of color (Black, Latino, Native Americans), and prejudice that exists in the United States and around the world as a central tenet of racism. The book exposes the reader to the nature and practice of stereotyping, negative bias, social categorization, modern forms of racism, immigration law empowerment, racialized incarceration, and police brutality in the American heartland. It states that several centuries of white Americans’ negative socializing culture marked by widespread negative attitudes toward African Americans, are not eradicated and are still rife. Further, the book provides a panoramic view of trends of racial discrimination and other negative and desperate challenges that Black, Indigenous, and People of Color face across the world. Finally, the volume examines xenophobia, racism, prejudice, and stereotyping in different contexts, including topics such as Covid-19, religion and racism, information manipulation, and populism. The book, therefore, is a must-read for students, researchers, and scholars of political science, psychology, history, sociology, communications/media studies, diplomatic studies, and law in general, as well as ethnic and racial studies, American politics, global affairs, populism, and discrimination in particular.Table of ContentsChapter 1.

Springer International Publishing AG Embodying Antiracist Christianity: Asian American
Book SynopsisAt a moment of notably rising levels of anti-Asian hate, this book offers antiracist resources informed by Asian/North American feminist theology and biblical scholarship. Although there exist scholarly books and articles on Asian American theology (broadly defined) have proliferated in response to the current ethical, political, and cultural environment have been prolific, there have been few concerted efforts to interrogate or dismantle anti-Asian racism inseparable from anti-black racism, and white settler colonialism that have often undermined the communal spirit and livelihood of Christian churches in the current political climate. In the current political climate, COVID-related anti-Asian hate and racial conflict, which all intersect with gender and sexuality-based violence, require theological, moral, and political inquiries. Hence, this book notes the current paucity of work with critical discussions on the multiple facets of racism from Asian American feminist theological perspectives. Contributors deepen the inter/transdisciplinary approaches concerning how to dismantle racist theological teachings, biblical interpretations, liturgical presentations, and the Christian church’s leadership structure.Table of Contents1 Introduction: Problematizing a Problem Part I Settler Colonialism, Anti-Black Racism, and Anti-Asian Racism 2 America, the New Jerusalem, and Anti-immigrant Discourse 3 Waves of Memory and Possibility: Remembering New Songs, Re-forming Old Ones as Asian Settlers 4 The Cosmopolitics of Belonging: Model Minority Superheroes and Theological Imagination 5 An Antiracist and Antiwar Feminist Theology: When the US Military Empire Divides Us Part II Cross-Racial and Cross-Border Solidarity 6 Intimate Encounters at the Unhomely Home: Reading Morrison’s Home and the Gospel of John’s Homecoming Story 7 Beyond Siloed Solidarity: The Place of Asian Americans in the Struggle for Racial Justice 8 The Confines of “Antiracism” Work in the Intersectional Realities of “Anti-Asian” Violence Part III Rereading Memories and Creative Activism 9 Tasting Me/You: Sensory-Affective Multiracial Identity Formations 10 Toward Solidarity-Creating Narratives: Anti-Racist Identity Formation in Korean Immigrant Churches 11 Under the Master’s Table: An Anti-darkness and Caste Interpretation of the Canaanite Woman 12 Who Is Family?

Verlag Barbara Budrich Blurring Boundaries – ‘Anti-Gender’ Ideology
Book SynopsisIn politischen Auseinandersetzungen wird “Gender” als Sammelbegriff für Themen wie Frauen- und LGBTIQ + -Rechte, Gleichstellung der Geschlechter, sexuelle Bildung, feministisches Wissen und Geschlechterforschung verwendet. Während sich bisherige Veröffentlichungen auf die anti-gender Gruppen selbst oder feministische und queere Reaktionen auf diese konzentrieren, beleuchtet dieser Band die verschwimmenden Grenzen zwischen beiden Lagern. Im Fokus steht die Frage, inwieweit “Anti-Gender”-Behauptungen mit bestimmten Spielarten in der feministischen und LGBTIQ+-Politik interagieren und so Diskursbrücken zu liberalen und progressiven Teilen der Gesellschaft bauen. Anders als der „Sammelbegriff“ Gender vermuten lässt, ist das feministische und LGBTIQ+-Lager von politischen Konflikten, Meinungsverschiedenheiten und divergierenden Interessen durchzogen. Daher analysieren die Autor*innen die Verbindungen zwischen einigen dieser umstrittenen Positionen und dem “Anti-Gender”-Diskurs.Table of ContentsIntroduction: Blurring Boundaries.
