Taylor & Francis Ltd Intersectionality and Crisis Management
Book SynopsisIntersectionality and Crisis Management: A Path to Social Equity aims to embed the social equity discourse into crisis management while exploring the potential of a new tool, the Integrative Crisis Management Model. Leaders and managers navigate a complex and networked environment of policy-making and action, frequently occurring in real time, under constant media exposure. The pervasive availability of this news on all platforms and devices produces a lingering anxiety about the inevitability of danger. Consequently, crisis affords a time-sensitive exploration of management practices and sheds a critical spotlight on deficiencies that may yield novel approaches to doing business.As the book engages contributing authors who are foremost in their field, it also includes practitioners, students, and junior scholars in a creative new discourse about equity. Bringing these diverse voices together in one volume presents a unique opportunity to generate new insights. InterTrade Review"The book, weaving together topical issues from intersections of identities, disaster resilience, healthcare, human resource management, approaches by public and non-profit organizations in crisis management, and the challenge of equity, provides evidence and interesting contemporary debates. The examples offered are timely and illustrate clearly both how and why intersectionality is a critical component of effective, equitable, and fair crisis management. This text will be a must-read for both academics and practitioners in the fields of crisis/emergency management, diversity and inclusion, social equity!" Mary E. Guy, PhD, Distinguished Professor, School of Public Affairs, University of Colorado, Denver"Resilience demands cohesive communities, interwoven social fabric, and democratic strengths. Intersectionality and Crisis Management: A Path to Social Equity provides a timely and important addition to growing interdisciplinary literature. This edited volume utilizes intersectionality to better inform crisis management in building resilient communities with specific emphasis on social equity and community vulnerabilities." Naim Kapucu, PhD, Pegasus Professor, School of Public Administration & School of Politics, Security, and International Affairs, University of Central Florida"Intersectionality and Crisis Management: A Path to Social Equity addresses important social equity issues at a time where crisis management is becoming increasingly important in public, nonprofit, and health organizations. Readers will appreciate diverse perspectives from both established and emerging scholars." Andy Crosby, PhD, Assistant Professor of Instruction, Master of Arts in Public Policy and Administration Program, Northwestern University "Intersectionality and Crisis Management: A Path to Social Equity is a timely book given unprecedented global crises such as the pandemic, economic recession, natural and environmental disasters, etc. The book provides thought-provoking discussions on how crises expose population groups to vulnerabilities and social equity challenges. A unique contribution of the book is the incorporation of an intersectional lens to expose social equity challenges because the impact of crises are felt at varying degrees by different people. The book, weaving together topical issues from intersections of identities, disaster resilience, healthcare, human resource management, approaches by public and non-profit organizations in crisis management, and the challenge of equity, provides evidence and interesting contemporary debates. Scholars and policy practitioners will find this book of interest in managing crises across social groups for building more resilient communities." Karen Johnston, PhD, Professor of Organisational Studies at the University of Portsmouth, and Associate Dean for Research and Innovation for the Faculty of Business and Law"Intersectionality and Crisis Management: A Path to Social Equity is an edited volume that utilizes intersectionality to better inform crisis management in building resilient communities with specific emphasis on social equity brings important insights into social equity issues at a time where crisis management is becoming increasingly important in public, nonprofit, and health organizations. Readers will appreciate diverse perspectives from both established and emerging scholars." Phin Xaypangna, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Officer, County of Ventura, California"This volume offers a much-needed examination of issues of race, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, and socioeconomic factors and the ways in which these issues play out in crisis management. The various treatments presented by the contributing authors offer a compelling and insightful case for intersectionality in crisis management. The examples offered are timely, and illustrate clearly both how and why intersectionality is a critical component of effective, equitable, and fair crisis management. This text will be a must-read for both academics and practitioners in the fields of crisis/emergency management, diversity and inclusion, social equity, and intersectionality. Highly recommended!" John C. Morris, PhD, Professor Auburn University"The editors insert social equity discourse into crisis management and introduce the Integrative Crisis Management Model as a new tool for managers. The editors visualize society as being in a perpetual, pervasive state of emergency and put a spotlight on public planning, risk management, and crisis management. They supply definitions for terms used in the rest of the book and issue a challenge to readers to use “a critical eye toward disrupting the status quo to create more equitable practices” (p. 3). In the last chapter, the editors explore the Integrative Crisis Management Model. When a crisis occurs, the individuals, families, and communities most affected are those needing a voice in the planning process. By adding places for intersectional processes into the Crisis Management Model, the editors hope to build a path to social equity. The contributing authors are mostly academics in US higher education. All are considered experts in their field. Each chapter covers a different sector of society, has a bibliography, and includes discussion questions." L.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Trauma of Racism
Book SynopsisThe Trauma of Racism: Lessons from the Therapeutic Encounter is a pioneering reflection on the psychology of racism and its impact on us all. With the intimacy of personal experience and depth of analytic exposition, the authors expose racism's searing effects on personal, clinical, and community interactions while providing pathways for change.This book asserts that the insights and practice of psychoanalysis, applied behind the couch and in the community, create unique opportunities for change. Essayists address racially derived mental health inequities, including distortions, projections, stereotypes, and historical tropes. The Trauma of Racism invites personal and clinical exploration of how people learn, confront, and re-learn views on race. Narratives of the loss and grief and the burdens of slavery that crisscross the African American community are present. They are complemented by those of the psychological burdens and inspired acts of personal responsTrade Review'The authors offer a fresh, invigorating, and much-needed psychoanalytic treatise on race, race relations, and racism. The contributors that they have gathered represent multiple perspectives, diverse ethnocultural backgrounds, and different nationalities. Together these highly informed and somber voices create a moving chorus of cultural anthropology, psychoanalytic metapsychology, developmental studies, community politics, and, above all, clinical praxis.'Salman Akhtar, professor of Psychiatry, Jefferson Medical College, training and supervising analyst, Psychoanalytic Center of Philadelphia'This remarkable new book is a long-overdue treatment of a subject that has historically been neglected in psychotherapeutic and psychoanalytic discourse. I was enlightened by the brilliant insights from colleagues who provided new ways of understanding racism and the challenges we face. Readers will learn a great deal of practical and clinical information, as well as becoming more familiar with the tragic history of racism.' Glen O. Gabbard, clinical professor of Psychiatry, Baylor College of Medicine'This book is an important and thoughtful guide to one of the more urgent questions facing psychotherapeutic practice today—how to address the individual psychological implications and effects of larger structural biases, inequities, and prejudices. The book deftly connects psychological frameworks with historical and cultural ones. It is a vital resource for clinicians and citizens seeking to understand and address legacies of historical trauma.'Jonathan M. Metzl, director, Center for Medicine, Health, and Society and Frederick B. Rentschler II endowed professor, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine'Psychoanalysis gave us multiple lenses for illuminating complex human behavior through its metapsychology of the individual. In addition, Freud, as a social and cultural theorist, gave us a quintessentially powerful means of coming face to face with the tragic view of how humans are eminently capable of treating one another. These two projects of psychoanalysis converge in The Trauma of Racism: Lessons from the Therapeutic Encounter. Here, Beverly Stoute and Michael Slevin provide a masterfully designed and edited catalogue of accounts of the trauma of distorting the individual ego and endangering generations of collective and degraded human lives in our fractured world ripped by racism and its manifold systemic pathways of racialization. All scholars committed to understanding and transforming the inner world and its external fields of reference to the outside, and in reverse, how psychologically charged external fields of reference activate inner world drama, will benefit immensely from this tome. Now, hopefully, we can teach and study race in earnest without the facile charge of being polemic.'Maurice Apprey, professor of Psychiatry, is a member of the Academy of Distinguished Educators, School of Medicine, and dean of African American Affairs, University of Virginia'This collection by Beverly Stoute and Michael Slevin is required reading for everyone practicing, supervising, or teaching the psychodynamic tradition. The authors provide the deep, subtle clinical thinking and practice wisdom on racism that until now has been lacking. But the reach of the book goes beyond clinical practice. Racism is searing. Its history shapes each of us regardless of racial identity. Its impact on the psyches of everyone in the U.S. is profound and traumatic. Anyone willing to look inward at themselves or outward at our society through the lens of racism could profit from this book. The authors’ authenticity as they share critical reflections gained through work in the therapeutic encounter is a strength of a book that is a joy to read.'Joanne Corbin, associate dean for Academic Affairs, University of Connecticut School of Social Work, former director, Smith College School for Social Work doctoral programTable of ContentsIntroduction Part 1: Historical Perspectives 1.

Using the three cases of the American white working class, Black Americans and American women, the authors demonstrate that relying on nature as an explanation is seriously flawed â showing that the socioeconomic inheritance created by the conditions in which these populations worked and lived offer a far better explanat

Taylor & Francis Ltd Women and Inequality in the 21st Century
Book SynopsisRecent books have drawn attention to an unfinished gender revolution and the reversal of gender progress. However, this literature primarily focuses on gender inequality in the family and its effect on women's career and family choices. While an important topic, these works? ?are critiqued for being particularly attentive to the concerns of middle-class, heterosexual, White women and ignoring or erasing the issues and experiences of the vast majority of women throughout the United States (and other countries). ?Women and Inequality in the 21st Century is an edited collection that addresses this dearth in the current literature. This book examines the continued inequities navigated by women occupying marginalized social positions within a nexus of power relations. It addresses the experiences of immigrant women of color, aging women, normative gender constraints faced by lesbian and gender non-conforming individuals assigned the female gender at birth, religious constrTrade ReviewWomen and Inequality in the 21st Century draws from the best traditions of feminist scholar-activism, while reorienting focus toward topics and groups that to-date have received less attention in the scholarship on gender inequality than is warranted, and indeed necessary.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Africans Are Not Black
Book SynopsisAfricans are not literally black, yet they are called black. Why? This book explores the genesis and evolution of the description of Africans as black, the consequences of this practice, and how it contributes to the denigration (blackening) and dehumanisation of Africans. It uses this analysis to advance a case for abandoning the use of the term black' to describe and categorise Africans. Mainstream discussions of the history of European racism have generally neglected the role of black and white colour symbolisms in sustaining the supposed superiority of those labelled white over those labelled black. This work redresses that neglect, by tracing the genesis of the conception of Africans as black in ancient Greece and its continued employment in early Christian writings, followed by an original, close analysis of how this use is replicated in three key representative texts: Shakespeare''s Othello, the translation of the Bible into the African language Ewe, and a book by the influenTrade Review'Kwesi Tsri's imaginative, meticulous and engaging argument has convinced me that "black" is a deeply problematic way of categorizing human beings. Tsri makes a compelling case, which neither those labelled "black" nor those labelled "white" can afford to ignore.' John Baker, University College Dublin, Ireland.Table of Contents1. Introduction2.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Dalit Text
Book SynopsisThis book, companion to the much-acclaimed Dalit Literatures in India, examines questions of aesthetics and literary representation in a wide range of Dalit literary texts. It looks at how Dalit literature, born from the struggle against social and political injustice, invokes the rich and complex legacy of oral, folk and performative traditions of marginalised voices. The essays and interviews systematically explore a range of literary forms, from autobiographies, memoirs and other testimonial narratives, to poems, novels or short stories, foregrounding the diversity of Dalit creation. Showcasing the interplay between the aesthetic and political for a genre of writing that has change' as its goal, the volume aims to make Dalit writing more accessible to a wider public, for the Dalit voices to be heard and understood. The volume also shows how the genre has revolutionised the concept of what literature is supposed to mean and define. Effervescent first-person accounts,Trade Review"This book makes a critically important contribution to the growing, but still impoverished, field of Dalit literary studies in two key ways. First, the editors and contributors to Dalit Text refuse an engagement with Dalit literature’s politics in lieu of its aesthetics, and in so doing, rightfully reject the all-too-common sociological approach to Dalit literature that blinds us to the meaningful employment of innovative narrative strategies that has been at the core of Dalit literary production from its earliest stages. Second, the book makes a commitment to highlighting several new voices of Dalit literature and literary criticism, voices that will emerge for the first time in an edited volume that will have extensive transnational reach. Such a political commitment to representing a diversity of voices – in several different languages – from within Dalit literary and scholarly circles in India and its diaspora will play a critical role in contributing to the growth and sophistication of the field of Dalit literary studies. This volume is desperately needed, and most welcome." — Laura Brueck, Associate Professor of South Asian Languages and Cultures, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL USA"This contribution to the extant body of scholarship on Dalits, now a recognized area of academic attention world-wide, forcefully intensifies the field and begins to widen it. Necessary reading for anyone interested in justice in its various forms. This book goes a long way to study newer aspects of Dalit studies."— Aniket Jaaware, Professor, English Department, Shiv Nadar University, Delhi, India"A profound inquiry into the relation between the category ‘Dalit’ on the one hand and artistic and literary practice on the other, this landmark volume brings together writers, critics and translators to engage the force of Dalit writing in several Indian languages. The result of an international collaboration, this volume crucially brings questions of translation and universalization to the very untranslatability of the term ‘Dalit.’" —- Simona Sawhney, Associate Professor, Humanities & Social Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, India"This book makes a critically important contribution to the growing, but still impoverished, field of Dalit literary studies in two key ways.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Inequality and Governance
Book SynopsisGovernance matters for social welfare. Better governed countries are richer, happier and have fewer social and environmental problems. Good governance implies that public sector agents act impartially. It manifests itself in the form of equality before the law, an independent and professional public administration and the control of corruption.This book considers how economic inequality both interpersonal and interethnic can affect the quality of governance. To this end, it brings together insights from three different perspectives. First, a long-run historical one that exploits anthropological data on pre-industrial societies. Second, based on experimental work conducted by social psychologists and behavioural economists. Third, through cross-country empirical analysis drawn from a large sample of contemporary societies.The long-run perspective relates the inequality-governance relationship to societal responses in the face of uncertainty responses that persist todTable of ContentsList of figures.
