Springer Nature Switzerland AG Community-based Research with Vulnerable
Book SynopsisThis book advocates for community-based research with vulnerable populations within the field of higher education. The chapters outline how research can democratize knowledge generation to make it more accessible and socially relevant, and emphasizes the value of the lived and experiential knowledge of vulnerable and marginalized populations. Rooted in a critique of the current practices of higher education that fail to support participatory and transformative research, the research is structured at micro, macro and meso levels to ultimately emancipate colonized thinking of stakeholders about power, privilege and participation. Focusing primarily on various contexts within the Global South, the contributors argue that the time is ripe for community-based research which combines the theoretical knowledge of the academy with the local, experiential knowledge of those experiencing the consequences of social inequality to co-construct knowledge for change.Table of ContentsPart 1: Community-based Research in Higher EducationChapter 1: Community-based Research in Higher Education: Research Partnerships for the Common Good, Lesley Wood and Ortrun Zuber-SkerrittChapter 2: Rethinking Ethical Processes for Community-based Research Partnerships: Lessons from Practice, Mary Brydon-Miller and Lesley WoodChapter 3: Building Capacity for Community-based Research, Lesley WoodPart 2: Case Studies of Partnership for Community-based Research with Vulnerable PopulationsChapter 4: Developing and Sustaining Community-University Partnerships: Reflecting on Relationship Building, Heloise Sathorar and Deirdre GeduldChapter 5: Community-based Research to Enhance Holistic Wellbeing in School Contexts, Ansie Elizabeth Kitching and Robert Tubb CarstensChapter 6: Developing Relationship for Community-based Research at Rhodes University: Values, Principles and Challenges, Diana Hornby and Savathrie MaistryChapter 7: A Community-based Approach to Engaging Older Adults in the Promotion of their Health and Wellbeing Through Social Dance, Orfhlaith Ni Bhriain and Amanda CliffordChapter 8: Community-based Research for Peace: A Case Study in Colombia, Doris SantosChapter 9: An Appreciative Inquiry Approach to Community-based Research for Development of a Social Enterprise, Karen Venter and Alfi MoolmanChapter 10: "University Mtaani”: A Case Study of Service Learning and Civic Engagement for Social Transformation in Nairobi’s Informal Settlements, Nkatha Mercy and Jonas Yawovi DzinekouChapter 11: The Importance of Access, Time and Space: Developing the Collective Change Facilitator Role as Part of a Multi-Partner Research Programme, Sara Branch, Kate Freiberg, Ross Homel and Charmaine StubbsPart 3: A Framework for Conducting Ethical, Inclusive and Sustainable Community-based ResearchChapter 12: Towards Holistic and Community-led Development: The GULL System for Self-Directed Lifelong Action Learning, Richard TeareChapter 13: Community-based Research with Marginalized Populations as Transformative Adult Education, Lesley WoodChapter 14: An Ethical, Inclusive and Sustainable Framework for Community-based Research in Higher Education, Lesley Wood

Brill The Development of Legal Instruments to Combat Racism in a Diverse Europe
Book SynopsisEurope has come a long way at least in the institutional response to racism. This book describes the responses of the Council of Europe and the European Union to the worrying trends of racism and xenophobia in the 1990s, and considers the prospects for combating discrimination in Europe using tools that have emerged as a result. Part one looks at the evolution of the Council of Europe apparatus to combat discrimination and the anti-discrimination standards prescribed by its institutions. Part two considers the legislative measures recently adopted by the European Union. The contributions in Part three take a comparative perspective of all measures adopted at European level to combat racial and ethnic discrimination.Trade Review'The Development of Legal Instruments to Combat Racism in a Diverse Europe provides a useful reference point to the question of the legal regulation of racial discrimination by European institutions, and consequential problems faced by States in the implementation of their international obligations. The work provides a valuable contribution to the academic literature in this field and should prove useful to those engaged in this particular area.

Brill Challenging the Status Quo: Diversity, Democracy, and Equality in the 21st Century
Book SynopsisIn Challenging the Status Quo: Diversity, Democracy, and Equality in the 21st Century, David G. Embrick, Sharon M. Collins, and Michelle Dodson have compiled the latest ideas and scholarship in the area of diversity and inclusion. The contributors in this edited book offer critical analyses on many aspects of diversity as it pertains to institutional policies, practices, discourse, and beliefs. The book is broken down into 19 chapters over 7 sections that cover: policies and politics; pedagogy and higher education; STEM; religion; communities; complex organizations; and discourse and identity. Collectively, these chapters contribute to answering three main questions: 1) what, ultimately, does diversity mean; 2) what are the various mechanisms by which institutions understand and use diversity; and 3) and why is it important for us to rethink diversity?

Brill Racial Discrimination
Book SynopsisThis fifth volume in the Brill Research Perspectives in Comparative Discrimination Law surveys the field of comparative race discrimination law for the purpose of providing an introduction to the nature of comparing systems of discrimination and the transnational search for effective equality laws and policies. This volume includes the perspectives of racialized subjects (subalterns) in the examination of the reach of the laws on the ground. It engages a variety of legal and social science resources in order to compare systems across a number of contexts (such as the United States, Canada, France, South Africa, Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Israel, India, and others). The goal is to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of various kinds of anti-discrimination legal devices to aid in the study of law reform efforts across the globe centered on racial equality.Table of ContentsRacial Discrimination Tanya Kateri Hernandez Abstract Keywords Part 1: Comparative Law’s Resistance to Race Part 2: Procedural Law Comparisons as to Equality Claims Part 3: Definitions of Discrimination, Equality and Race Discrimination Part 4: Criminal v.

Brill White Out: A Guidebook for Teaching and Engaging with Critical Whiteness Studies
Book SynopsisDespite hopeful—though problematic—proclamations about the end of racism after the election of our first African-American President, we are witnessing a backlash and renewed racism at this point in American and global history. Put simply, Critical Whiteness Studies (CWS) has as much exigency now as ever. Critical Whiteness Studies is an interdisciplinary project—with scholars from legal studies, literature and rhetorical studies, film and visual studies, class and feminist theorists, etc.—that contributes to critical race theory. Scholars tend to posit whiteness as an ideological, political, legal, and social fiction that places so-called whites in a position of hegemony over other non-dominant groups. The project, then, functions to unmask and interrogate these fictions. As part of critical multi-cultural and race theory, the project is anti-oppressive. Those new to CWS are often unfamiliar with much of the court cases referenced and the critical terminology used by scholars in the field.

Brill Care Relations in Southeast Asia: The Family and Beyond
Book SynopsisCare Relations in Southeast Asia: The Family and Beyond, edited by Patcharawalai Wongboonsin and Jo-Pei Tan, examines the care relations and transactions within and beyond the family network across three middle-income Southeast Asian countries, namely the Federation of Malaysia, the Kingdom of Thailand and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam at the national and sub-national level. On the national level, changes and continuity in care relations along the changing demographic, socio-economic and political contexts of each country are addressed. On the sub-national level, the complex dimensions of care relations are analyzed by looking at the attitude towards and practice of elderly and child care within, between and beyond the family system. These regional analyses are based on merged data of three most recent family surveys in Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok Metropolis, and Hanoi. Alternative and innovative policy recommendations for current and future challenges are also offered.

Brill Antisemitic Conspiracy Theories in the Early Modern Iberian World: Narratives of Fear and Hatred
Book SynopsisIn Antisemitic Conspiracy Theories in the Early Modern Iberian World: Narratives of Fear and Hatred, François Soyer offers the first detailed historical analysis of antisemitic conspiracy theories in Spain, Portugal and their overseas colonies between 1450 and 1750. These conspiracy theories accused Jews and conversos, the descendants of medieval Jewish converts to Christianity, of deadly plots and blamed them for a range of social, religious, military and economic problems. Ultimately, many Iberian antisemitic conspiracy theorists aimed to create a ‘moral panic’ about the converso presence in Iberian society, thereby justifying the legitimacy of ethnic discrimination within the Church and society. Moreover, they were also exploited by some churchmen seeking to impose an idealized sense of communal identity upon the lay faithful.Trade Review“Arguing against Karl Popper, who regarded conspiracy theories as a product of the eighteenth century, [...] Soyer insists convincingly that they started far earlier, in the early modern period.” Alastair Hamilton, Warburg Institute. In: The Journal of Ecclesiastical History, Vol. 71, No. 2 (2020), pp. 410–412. “compelling and thoroughly researched […]. The author is to be congratulated on an important, and highly recommended, contribution.” Norman Roth, University of Wisconsin–Madison, emeritus. In: Renaissance Quarterly, Vol. 74, No. 2 (Summer 2021), pp. 651–653. “I applaud Soyer’s engagement with a sensitive historical subject like popular antisemitism, without opting to hide behind academic relativism or political correctness. […]. [His book is] solid, convincing, and enrichingly honest.” Claude B. Stuczynski, Bar-Ilan University. In: AJS Review: The Journal of the Association of Jewish Studies, Vol. 45, No. 2 (November 2021), pp. 464–468. “a detailed and fascinating book […], valuable not only for historians but also, and maybe even more so, for people interested in how conspiracy theories work, what they do, and how they endanger ethnic and religious groups.” Lucien van Liere, Utrecht University. In: Exchange: Journal of Contemporary Christianities in Context, Vol. 50, No. 3–4 (2021), pp. 327–328.Table of ContentsContents Acknowledgments Illustrations Abbreviations Maps Introduction 1 The ‘Secret Jews’ and Proto-Racialism of Early Modern Spain and Portugal 2 Conspiracy Theories and Conspiracism 1 Conspiracism and Society in Early Modern Europe 1 Defining the Conspiracy Theory 2 Delusional Paranoia, Collective Emotions and the Emotional Dimension of the Conspiracy Theory 3 Explaining the Popularity of Conspiracy Theories 4 Moral Panics: The Social and Political Function of the Conspiracy Theory 5 ‘Modernity’ and the Origins of Conspiracism 6 Conspiracism in Early Modern Europe: the Demonic Superconspiracy 7 Conclusion: the Conspiracy Theory in the Age of ‘Confessionalization’ 2 Forged Documents and the Fear of Jewish Infiltration: The Jewish World Plot and the Early Modern Iberian World 1 The Early Notions of a Worldwide Jewish Conspiracy in Medieval Europe 2 The Forged Letter of the Jews of Toledo to Those of Jerusalem: a Fatal Precedent? 3 Warrant for Hatred: the Forged letters from Toledo and Constantinople 4 The Obscure Origins of the Forged Letters 5 The Reception of the Forged Letters 6 Francisco de Quevedo’s La Isla de los Monopantos 7 The Legacy and Influence of the “Toledan Letters” in Modern Antisemitism 8 Conclusion 3 “Seeking to Build a Synagogue within the Church of God”: the Alleged Converso Plot to Infiltrate and Destroy the Catholic Church 1 The Insidious Converso Threat to the Church 2 Perceiving Judaism as a Militant and Missionary Faith 3 The Spectre of the Jewish Dogmatizadores 4 The Menace of Jewish Proselytism amongst Africans and Amerindians 5 Reckless Resistance or Narrative Assault?: the Desecration of Religious Objects and the ‘Jewish Conspiracy’ 6 Conclusion 4 Medical Murder: the Myth of the Jewish Serial-Killer Doctors 1 Jews and Medicine in Medieval Iberia 2 Fear of the Homicidal Jewish Doctor and its Medieval Roots 3 The Archetypal Homicidal Doctor: Dr Meir Alguadex 4 Converso Doctors and the ‘Jewish Plot’ 5 Ethnic Discrimination and the Medical Professions 6 Medical Antisemitism in the Eighteenth Century 7 Other Medical Conspiracy Theories: a Comparative Study 8 Conclusion 5 “Traitors Who Dwell amongst Us”: the Conversos as Collaborators and Masterminds of the Muslim and Protestant Onslaught against Spain and Portugal 1 The Archetype of Jewish Treason: the Fall of Toledo in 711 CE 2 The ‘Jewish Origins’ of the Reformation: Linking Conversos and Protestants 3 The ‘Jewish Plot’ against the Portuguese Empire 4 A New Toledo in the Americas: Jewish Treason and the Fall of Bahia (1624) 5 Dutch Brazil and the Image of the Conversos 6 The Dutch, the Conversos and the “Grand Conspiracy” against the Spanish Empire (1610-1650) 7 Conclusion 6 “Sponges That Suck Up the Wealth of Spain”: the Jewish Plot, Economic Parasitism and the Fear of Economic Decline 1 The Trope of Jewish Lust of Gold and Usury beyond 2 The Converso Merchant: a Parasite Growing at the Expenses of the Host 3 The Merchant in the Ancien Régime: a Figure of Suspicion and Fear 4 An Easy Hate Figure: the Converso Tax-Farmers and Asentistas 5 Conclusion Conclusion 1 The Elusive Converso Enemy: a Tool to Construct a Collective Identity 2 Epilogue: the Survival of the Conspiracist Narrative after Bibliography Index

Brill No BS (Bad Stats): Black People Need People Who
Book SynopsisA Brill Sense Bestseller! What if everything you thought you knew about Black people generally, and educating Black children specifically, was based on BS (bad stats)? We often hear things like, “Black boys are a dying breed,” “There are more Black men in prison than college,” “Black children fail because single mothers raise them,” and “Black students don’t read.” In No BS, Ivory A. Toldson uses data analysis, anecdotes, and powerful commentary to dispel common myths and challenge conventional beliefs about educating Black children. With provocative, engaging, and at times humorous prose, Toldson teaches educators, parents, advocates, and students how to avoid BS, raise expectations, and create an educational agenda for Black children that is based on good data, thoughtful analysis, and compassion. No BS helps people understand why Black people need people who believe in Black people enough not to believe every bad thing they hear about Black people.Trade Review"As a member of the Little Rock Nine, I know firsthand how racial discrimination and segregation damages schools and harms millions of Black learners. Dr. Toldson is an education activist for this century who skillfully blends academic prose with sharp wit and human sensibilities to challenge wayward thinking and stimulate innovation.

Brill Poking the WASP Nest: Young People, Applied Theatre, and Education about Race
Book SynopsisThis innovative project wrapped research around a youth theatre project. Young people of colour and from refugee backgrounds developed a sustained provocation for the people of Geelong, a large regional centre in Australia. The packed public performance—at the biggest venue in town—challenged locals to rethink assumptions. The audience response was insightful and momentous. The companion workshops for schools had profound impact with adolescent audiences. Internationally, this book connects with artistic, educational, and research communities, offering a substantial contribution to understandings of racism. This book is a provocative, transdisciplinary meditation on race, culture, the arts and change.Trade Review"This manuscript contributes more than just a unique case study from the Australian context, it offers ways to think through the role of applied theatre and other creative approaches to anti-racist praxis. It also offers some insights into the realities of young people facing structural violence and racism and the ways creative approaches can be spaces which are both healing and empowering. [I]t is an informative, provocative and instructional work. It manages to weave together an array of theorising, case studies, positionalities, practical applications, and reflections in a deeply contextualised manner. The writing is accessible, and it would offer researchers, practitioners and educators some very useful ways to think through and develop anti-racist praxis via creative modalities" – Sam Keast, Victoria University "The 6 Hours in Geelong project nudges us, ever so gently, to think, wonder, and move with critical praxis through a process grounded in decolonial theory, transformative education, public pedagogy to a performance which acknowledges, exposes, and challenges us to think differently about who we are in relation to race. “The arts,” Maxine Greene suggests, “cannot change the world, but they may change human beings who might change the world." – Elizabeth (Liz) Mackinlay, The University of Queensland "I find this book to be extremely timely and of the utmost importance, especially to readers from the United States given the attacks that are currently being made on the teaching of Critical Race Theory (CRT) in public schools in the US. [...] Overall, I believe this book will be a significant contribution to anti-racism literature providing practical information and powerful messages to teachers, community arts leaders, and others who are concerned about issues of racism in society." – William G.

Brill White Out: A Guidebook for Teaching and Engaging with Critical Whiteness Studies
Book SynopsisDespite hopeful—though problematic—proclamations about the end of racism after the election of our first African-American President, we are witnessing a backlash and renewed racism at this point in American and global history. Put simply, Critical Whiteness Studies (CWS) has as much exigency now as ever. Critical Whiteness Studies is an interdisciplinary project—with scholars from legal studies, literature and rhetorical studies, film and visual studies, class and feminist theorists, etc.—that contributes to critical race theory. Scholars tend to posit whiteness as an ideological, political, legal, and social fiction that places so-called whites in a position of hegemony over other non-dominant groups. The project, then, functions to unmask and interrogate these fictions. As part of critical multi-cultural and race theory, the project is anti-oppressive. Those new to CWS are often unfamiliar with much of the court cases referenced and the critical terminology used by scholars in the field. As such White Out: A Guidebook for Teaching and Engaging with Critical Whiteness Studies is designed to orient readers to the history and purpose of CWS, to key concepts and legal cases, and to established and newer texts and resources. For educators wishing to include CWS in their workshops or courses, this guidebook also includes pedagogical resources ranging a sample syllabus to sample assignments and student texts to advice for structuring a dialogic workshop or classroom. Student contributors are: Thomas Drake Farmer, Daniel Giraldo, Abby Graves, Elaine Ruby Gunn, Faith Jones, and Connor McPherson.Table of ContentsPreface List of Figures PART 1: Overview of Theory and Resources 1 Introduction to Critical Whiteness Studies 1 What Is the Purpose and Function of CWS? 2 Is CWS an Attack on White People? 3 What Are the Scholarly Origins of CWS? 4 Aren’t We Post-Racial?

Brill Gender Inequality in Latin America: The Case of Ecuador
Book SynopsisThis volume critically examines gender inequality, its origins, and its social and economic implications in Latin America, with a particular focus on Ecuador. For that purpose, Pablo Quiñonez and Claudia Maldonado-Erazo bring together a collection of articles that provide insights from different disciplines, including political economy, history, development studies, political science, microeconomics, and macroeconomics. In Ecuador, as in Latin America as a whole, women dedicate more time than men to unpaid activities while being discriminated against in multiple areas, including labor markets, politics, and access to high-ranking positions. Furthermore, these problems are even greater for women from rural areas and ethnic minorities. Contributors include: Rafael Alvarado, María Anchundia Places, Esteban Arévalo, Diana Cabrera Montecé, Edwin Espinoza Piguave, Gabriela Gallardo, Danny Granda, Claudia Maldonado-Erazo, Wendy Mora, Diana Morán Chiquito, Sayonara Morejón, Carlos Moreno-Hurtado, María Moreno Zea, Ana Oña Macías, Pablo Ponce, Pablo Quiñonez, Valeria Recalde, Josefina Rosales, Ximena Songor-Jaramillo, and Daniel Zea.Table of Contents Acknowledgements List of Figures and Tables List of Abbreviations Notes on Contributors Introduction Pablo Quiñonez and Claudia Maldonado-Erazo Part 1: Latin America 1An Overview of Gender Inequality in Latin America from a Political Economy Perspective Pablo Quiñonez and Claudia Maldonado-Erazo 2Labor and Human Capital Gender Gap and Economic Growth in Latin America Rafael Alvarado, Pablo Ponce, and Danny Granda 3Debates about Women’s Precarization: Scholz and Federici Josefina Rosales 4Gender and Economics in Latin America: a Systematic Analysis of Scientific Production in Scopus Claudia Maldonado-Erazo and Pablo Quiñonez Part 2: Ecuador 5Gender Imaginary in Ecuador: A Literature Review Esteban Arévalo 6Gender Wage Gaps in Ecuador Ximena Songor-Jaramillo and Carlos Moreno-Hurtado 7The Cost of Femininity: Evidence for the City of Guayaquil Diana Morán, Diana Cabrera, and María Moreno 8Political Representation of Women in the Ecuadorian Legislature Gabriela Gallardo Part 3: Rural and Indigenous Women in Ecuador 9The Invisible Economy of Ecuadorian Peasant Women Valeria Recalde and Daniel Zea 10Inequality of Income and Job Satisfaction in Ecuador between Genders and Ethnic Groups Diana Cabrera, Edwin Espinoza, and Ana Oña 11Southern Craftswomen: Weaving Networks in the Solidarity Economy María Anchundia, Wendy Mora, and Sayonara Morejón Index

Brill Still Hanging: Using Performance Texts to Deconstruct Racism
Book SynopsisThe current socio-political climate in the United States sheds a critical, glaring light on the racism and white supremacy which has been part of the fabric of this country since the seventeenth century. Barack Obama’s tenure as president resulted in a major increase in white hate groups, hate crimes, and unrelenting violence against innocent Black men and women by police. In response, people of different races, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, religions, ages and classes have taken to the streets in protest, and increased decades long efforts to organize against racism and for a more empathetic, just, democratic society. Social change about racism must begin with acknowledgement followed by open, focused, critical dialogue. Still Hanging: Using Performance Texts to Deconstruct Racism, referencing both the resilience of Black people in the face of institutionalized racism and systemic oppression, and the fact that Black people continue to be literally and metaphorically lynched in 2020, is designed to use the power of lived experience specific performance texts as frames for engaging faculty, students and others interested in beginning to deconstruct racism and construct an anti-racist way of being.Table of ContentsAcknowledgements Message about Cover Art List of Figures About the Authors Introduction PART 1: Sounds of Blackness 1 Still Hanging/On: ‘Strange Fruit’ and ‘Glory’ — Songs of/as/in Protest: Or, from Stage to Page: Documenting Ideological Performance Bryant Keith Alexander Interlude 1: On Blackouts and Black Notes Bryant Keith Alexander 2 Black Notes Mary E.

Brill Poking the WASP Nest: Young People, Applied Theatre, and Education about Race
Book SynopsisThis innovative project wrapped research around a youth theatre project. Young people of colour and from refugee backgrounds developed a sustained provocation for the people of Geelong, a large regional centre in Australia. The packed public performance—at the biggest venue in town—challenged locals to rethink assumptions. The audience response was insightful and momentous. The companion workshops for schools had profound impact with adolescent audiences. Internationally, this book connects with artistic, educational, and research communities, offering a substantial contribution to understandings of racism. This book is a provocative, transdisciplinary meditation on race, culture, the arts and change.Trade Review"This manuscript contributes more than just a unique case study from the Australian context, it offers ways to think through the role of applied theatre and other creative approaches to anti-racist praxis. It also offers some insights into the realities of young people facing structural violence and racism and the ways creative approaches can be spaces which are both healing and empowering. [I]t is an informative, provocative and instructional work. It manages to weave together an array of theorising, case studies, positionalities, practical applications, and reflections in a deeply contextualised manner. The writing is accessible, and it would offer researchers, practitioners and educators some very useful ways to think through and develop anti-racist praxis via creative modalities" – Sam Keast, Victoria University "The 6 Hours in Geelong project nudges us, ever so gently, to think, wonder, and move with critical praxis through a process grounded in decolonial theory, transformative education, public pedagogy to a performance which acknowledges, exposes, and challenges us to think differently about who we are in relation to race. “The arts,” Maxine Greene suggests, “cannot change the world, but they may change human beings who might change the world." – Elizabeth (Liz) Mackinlay, The University of Queensland "I find this book to be extremely timely and of the utmost importance, especially to readers from the United States given the attacks that are currently being made on the teaching of Critical Race Theory (CRT) in public schools in the US. [...] Overall, I believe this book will be a significant contribution to anti-racism literature providing practical information and powerful messages to teachers, community arts leaders, and others who are concerned about issues of racism in society." – William G.
