Johns Hopkins University Press Health Disparities in the United States
Book SynopsisChallenging students to think critically about the complex web of social forces that leads to health disparities in the United States. The health care system in the United States has been called the best in the world. Yet wide disparities persist between social groups, and many Americans suffer from poorer health than people in other developed countries. In this revised edition of Health Disparities in the United States, Donald A. Barr provides extensive new data about the ways low socioeconomic status, race, and ethnicity interact to create and perpetuate these health disparities. Examining the significance of this gulf for the medical community and society at large, Barr offers potential policy- and physician-based solutions for reducing health inequity in the long term. This thoroughly updated edition focuses on a new challenge the United States last experienced more than half a century ago: successive years of declining life expectancy. Barr addresses the causes of this declineTable of ContentsPreface1. Introduction to the Social Roots of Health Disparities2. What Is "Health"? How Should We Define It? How Should We Measure It?3.

Johns Hopkins University Press Baltimore
Book SynopsisHow politics and race shaped Baltimore's distinctive disarray of cultures and subcultures. Charm City or Mobtown? People from Baltimore glory in its eccentric charm, small-town character, and North-cum-South culture. But for much of the nineteenth century, violence and disorder plagued the city. More recently, the 2015 death of Freddie Gray in police custody has prompted Baltimoreansand the entire nationto focus critically on the rich and tangled narrative of blackwhite relations in Baltimore, where slavery once existed alongside the largest community of free blacks in the United States. Matthew A. Crenson, a distinguished political scientist and Baltimore native, examines the role of politics and race throughout Baltimore's history. From its founding in 1729 up through the recent past, Crenson follows Baltimore's political evolution from an empty expanse of marsh and hills to a complicated city with distinct ways of doing business.

More Black women are graduating with advanced degrees than ever before. Despite the fact that their educational and professional opportunities should be expanding, highly educated Black women face strained and worsening economic, material, and labor conditions in graduate school and along their academic career trajectory. Black women are less likely to be funded as graduate students, are disproportionately hired as contingent faculty, are trained and hired within undervalued disciplines, and incur the highest levels of educational debt.

Johns Hopkins University Press Neighborhood of Fear
Book SynopsisHowhaunted by the idea that their suburban homes were under siegethe second generation of suburban residents expanded spatial control and cultural authority through a strategy of productive victimization. The explosive growth of American suburbs following World War II promised not only a new place to live but a new way of life, one away from the crime and crowds of the city. Yet, by the 1970s, the expected security of suburban life gave way to a sense of endangerment. Perceived, and sometimes material, threats from burglars, kidnappers, mallrats, toxic waste, and even the occult challenged assumptions about safe streets, pristine parks, and the sanctity of the home itself. In Neighborhood of Fear, Kyle Riismandel examines how suburbanites responded to this crisis by attempting to take control of the landscape and reaffirm their cultural authority.

Johns Hopkins University Press Unwelcome Guests
Book SynopsisA comprehensive history of the barriers faced by students from marginalized racial, ethnic, and religious groups to gain access to predominantly white colleges and universitiesand how these students responded to these barriers. Affirmative action in college admission is one of the most contested initiatives in contemporary federal policy, from its beginnings in the 1960s through the 2014 lawsuit alleging that Harvard discriminates against Asian American applicants. Supporters point out that using race and ethnicity as a criterion for admission helps remediate some of the effects of racist practices on minorities, including restrictions on college admissions. Opponents insist that the practice violates civil rights laws that prohibit racial discrimination and that it reenacts the historic racial bias of colleges. In Unwelcome Guests, Harold S. Wechsler and Steven J. Diner argue that discrimination in college admissions has a long and troubling history in the United States.

Book SynopsisOffers a model for increasing equity in STEM education at the K12 level in the United States. In STEM Education in Underserved Schools, editor Julia V. Clark addresses an urgent national problem: the need to provide all students with a quality STEM education. Clark brings together a prestigious group of scholars to uncover the factors that impede equity and access in STEM education teaching and learning and provides research-based strategies to address these inequities. This contributed volume demonstrates that students of color and those from lower socioeconomic communities have less access to qualified science and mathematics teachers, less access to strong STEM curriculum, less access to resources, and fewer classroom opportunities than their peers at other schools.

These health disparities only became a mainstream issue on the agenda of US health leaders and policy makers because a group of health professions schools at Historically Black Colleges and Universities banded together to fight for health equity. We''ll Fight It Out Here tells the story of how the Association of Minority Health Professions Schools (AMHPS) was founded by this coalition and the hard-won influence it built in American politics and health care.

American Psychological Association Microaggressions and Traumatic Stress
Book Synopsis Challenging current definitions of trauma, Kevin L. Nadal distills the latest research on the effects of microaggressions, looking at how regular exposure to subtle discrimination can, over time, elicit similar symptoms to severe trauma. Previous research on trauma has suggested that it results from experiencing or witnessing actual or threatened death, or serious injury, but this view has been expanding in recent years. New research has focused on the relationship between persistent, often casual social discrimination and trauma. In a changing world where discrimination seems to take center stage on the news, more and more individuals are able to put a name to the daily microaggressions that may plague their lives. These stressors can act as trigger mechanisms that impact their ability to cope with life stressors, affecting self-esteem and relationships.

Temple University Press,U.S. How Racism Takes Place
Book SynopsisHow racism shapes urban spaces and how African Americans create vibrant communities that offer models for more equitable social arrangementsTrade Review"George Lipsitz's new book, How Racism Takes Place, has a great deal to teach Americans-especially white Americans-about the devastating effects of contemporary racism. Lipsitz utilizes the best research and brilliant arguments to demonstrate how racism continues to fester in racially segregated neighborhoods, workforces, suburbs, schools and country clubs. He demonstrates convincingly that contemporary racism did not emerge accidently but by historical and contemporary designs of white Americans whether they know it or not. How Racism Takes Place is a must read, for it challenges us to grapple with our racial demons and, in the process, become a people truly representing the democratic claims we broadcast throughout the globe." -Aldon Morris, Leon Forrest Professor of Sociology, Northwestern University "How Racism Takes Place is a brilliant, timely, and much needed book about racial segregation-how it is produced and reproduced, how white privilege and the subjugation of people of color have a clear spatial dimension, and how the racialization of space and the spatialization of race shape, and are manifestations of, the political and cultural economy of the United States. Beyond unveiling the mechanics of structural racism, Lipsitz also draws out what he calls a 'Black spatial imaginary,' the site of expressive culture where aggrieved and displaced peoples have waged a struggle to resist and survive policies of racial segregation and conceived a different future." -Robin D.

Book Synopsis For many whites, desegregation initially felt like an attack on their community. But how has the process of racial change affected whites’ understanding of community and race? In Vanishing Eden, Michael Maly and Heather Dalmage provide an intriguing analysis of the experiences and memories of whites who lived in Chicago neighborhoods experiencing racial change during the 1950s through the 1980s. They pay particular attention to examining how young people made sense of what was occurring, and how this experience impacted their lives. Using a blend of urban studies and whiteness studies, the authors examine how racial solidarity and whiteness were created and maintained—often in subtle and unreflective ways. Vanishing Eden also considers how race is central to the ways social institutions such as housing, education, and employment function. Surveying the shifting social, economic, and racial contexts, the authors explore how race and class at local

Temple University Press,U.S. The Possessive Investment in Whiteness
Book SynopsisGeorge Lipsitz's classic book The Possessive Investment in Whiteness argues that public policy and private prejudice work together to create a possessive investment in whiteness that is responsible for the racialized hierarchies of our society. Whiteness has a cash value: it accounts for advantages that come to individuals through profits made from housing secured in discriminatory markets, through the unequal educational opportunities available to children of different races, through insider networks that channel employment opportunities to the friends and relatives of those who have profited most from past and present discrimination, and especially through intergenerational transfers of inherited wealth that pass on the spoils of discrimination to succeeding generations. White Americans are encouraged to invest in whiteness, to remain true to an identity that provides them with structured advantages. In this twentieth anniversary edition, Lipsitz provides a new introduction and updTrade Review"Lipsitz’s 20th-anniversary reissue has only shown how prescient and important this book was from first press.... Weaving together literary references, scientific studies, and court cases, and using well-known contemporary events like Hurricane Katrina, police killings of young African-American men, the Charleston massacre, and many historical events that may be lesser known, he illustrates how white fear and failure are the sources for the development of ethnonationalism.

Temple University Press,U.S. Daily Labors
Book SynopsisOn street corners throughout the country, men stand or sit together patiently while they wait for someone looking to hire un buen trabajador (a good worker). These day laborers are visible symbols of the changing nature of workand the demographics of workersin the United States.Carolyn Pinedo-Turnovsky spent nearly three years visiting with African American men and Latino immigrant men who looked for work as day laborers at a Brooklyn street intersection. Her fascinating ethnography, Daily Labors, considers these immigrants and citizens as active participants in their social and economic life. They not only work for wages but also labor daily to institute change, create knowledge, and contribute new meanings to shape their social world.Daily Labors reveals how ideologies about race, gender, nation, and legal status operate on the corner and the vulnerabilities, discrimination, and exploitation workers face in this labor market. Pinedo-Turnovsky shows how workers market themselves to coTrade Review"This ethnographic study of a community of day laborers who sought work at an intersection in Brooklyn, New York, deepens our understanding of not only how the labor market for this important, precarious form of employment functions but also how—despite the constraints produced by hierarchies created on the basis of race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, immigration, and legality—workers maintain a sense of dignity and agency. By so doing, Pinedo-Turnovsky’s study enhances our knowledge of how structural conditions affect individuals’ interactions."—Arne L. Kalleberg, Kenan Distinguished Professor of Sociology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and author of Precarious Lives: Job Insecurity and Well-Being in Rich Democracies“A formidable account of the lives of day laborers in early twenty-first-century New York City, Daily Labors makes an important contribution to the literature on migration and urban studies. Pinedo-Turnovsky’s book is a uniquely valuable resource for scholars and students of the ethnography of contemporary work and labor.”—Immanuel Ness, Professor of Political Science, Brooklyn College, City University of New York, and author of Southern Insurgency: The Coming of the Global Working Class

Temple University Press,U.S. Reinventing the Austin City Council
Book SynopsisUntil recently, Austin, the progressive, politically liberal capital of Texas, elected its city council using a not-so-progressive system. Candidates competed citywide for seats, and voters could cast ballots for as many candidates as there were seats up for election. However, this approach disadvantages the representation of geographically-concentrated minority groups, thereby—among other things—preventing the benefits of growth from reaching all of the city’s communities.Reinventing the Austin City Council explores the puzzle that was Austin’s reluctance to alter its at-large system and establish a geographically-based, single-member district system. Ann Bowman chronicles the repeated attempts to change the system, the eventual decision to do so, and the consequences of that change. In the process, she explores the many twists and turns that occurred in Austin as it struggled to design a fair system of representation. Reinventing the AustinTrade Review“This is a deeply researched yet readable analysis of Austin’s shift in city council composition. Austinites will recognize the players and positions, but the interested reader will find much to ponder as well. The impact of Austin’s new governance structure is still evolving—and this book is essential for understanding it.”—Annise Parker, former Mayor of HoustonTable of ContentsPreface and Acknowledgments Introduction: The Best Place to Live in America? 1.

Book SynopsisReveals how distinct cultural environments shape the patterns of gender inequalityTrade Review“Gendered Places offers the first sustained, nationally representative analysis of local gender cultures in the United States. While cross country differences have been well documented, Scarborough provides a long-overdue accounting of variability in gender beliefs within the United States. He makes a strong case that places (commuting zones) within the United States vary in their gender norms, that this variation cannot be captured on a single traditional-to-egalitarian continuum, and that the observed spatial differences have real consequences.” —Maria Charles, Professor of Sociology at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and coauthor of Occupational Ghettos: The Worldwide Segregation of Women and Men“Gendered Places attends to a crucial but understudied dimension of place culture: how people understand gender and how that matters for their lives and livelihoods. With careful research and engaging prose, Scarborough reveals the complex and sometimes surprising ways that gender works across cities and regions. Who lives in a place matters—but the story is not so simple. Nor are the stakes, for as Scarborough details, local gender norms have real implications for both the perpetuation and dismantling of inequalities.” —Krista E. Paulsen, Associate Professor of Urban Studies and Community Development at Boise State University, and coauthor of Introduction to Cities: How Place and Space Shape Human Experience"Scarborough's findings can be extrapolated and make an important contribution to the literature on gender inequality and, specifically, the gender wage gap.

Temple University Press,U.S. Gendered Places
Book SynopsisEvery place has its quirky attributes, cultural reputation, and distinctive flair. But when we travel across America, do we also experience distinct gender norms and expectations? In his groundbreaking Gendered Places, William Scarborough examines metropolitan commuting zones to see how each region’s local culture reflects gender roles and gender equity. He uses surveys and social media data to measure multiple dimensions of gender norms, including expectations toward women in leadership, attitudes toward working mothers, as well as the division of household labor.Gendered Places reveals that different locations, even within the same region of the country, such as Milwaukee and Madison Wisconsin, have distinct gender norms and highly influential cultural environments. Scarboroughshows how these local norms shape the attitudes and behaviors of residents with implications on patterns of inequality such as the gender wage gap.

Summing Up: Recommended."—Choice"Three aspects of Gendered Places make this book stand out. One notable feature is the book’s open and exploratory tone, especially regarding the concept of local gender norms and discussion of their causes and consequences.... Most important, however, is the idea at the heart of the book-local gender norms. This concept enriches cultural explanations of gender by adding an important spatial dimension to our understanding of gender and gender inequality. On a broader level, Scarborough urges sociologists to look more closely at local communities as sites where gender inequality is produced. This carefully researched book should have special appeal to sociologists of work, gender, and inequality."—Social Forces"Scarborough tackles the methodological challenge of studying variations and consequences of gender norms at a local scale across the United States.... [T]he methods and findings in this book do offer important new contribution to the understanding of place as gendered. Scarborough presents a strong argument for reading this work as complementary to existing research. He adeptly draws upon both quantitative and qualitative research as well as theory from multiple disciplines not only to build methodological and analytical frameworks but also to position the research findings as engaging with and contributing to much broader questions about gender, place culture, and spatial inequity."—Journal of Urban Affairs

Temple University Press,U.S. The Impact of College Diversity
Book SynopsisIn 2005, Elizabeth Aries chronicled what 58 Amherst College freshmanBlack and white, affluent and lower-incomelearned from racial and class diversity. Her study emphasized the value of campus diversity at elite colleges. Four years later, Aries interviewed the same students about their diversity experiences as they graduated. Now, eight years later,she re-interviews her participants to see how and to what extent race and class continue to play a role as they move into adulthood.The Impact of College Diversitydetails howexposure to diversity in collegehelped shape Black andwhite graduates process issues of economic and racial privilege and inequalityat age 30.She investigates how college diversity experiences also facilitate the attainment of upward social mobility in lower-income students and the role that mobility played in their relationships with family and friends in their home communities. Aries further examines how interactions with peers of another race and class influenced deveTrade Review"Aries builds on her decades-long commitment to the undergraduate experience to further understand college students’ experiences with race and class diversity within elite institutions. Using a unique, longitudinal research design that draws on students’ rich accounts of their lives at Amherst College and in the years after graduation, Aries argues that elite institutions can serve as engines of social mobility and indeed have the obligation to do so. The Impact of College Diversity is a testament to the role that diversity and inclusion can play in deepening our understanding of self and other, promoting social mobility, and even enhancing productivity and innovation within society as a whole."— Jenny Stuber, Professor of Sociology at the University of North Florida, and author of Inside the College Gates: How Class and Culture Matter in Higher Education“The Impact of College Diversity provides in-depth insights into how college students’ experiences with social class and racial diversity shape their perspectives and lives well after graduation. Interviews with dozens of graduates who hold divergent identities also illustrate how college experiences and long-term outcomes sometimes vary based on these young adults’ race, their socioeconomic upbringing, their current socioeconomic status, and the intersections among these.

MY - University of Toronto Press The Question of Access
Book SynopsisThe Question of Access allows readers to critically question their own implicit conceptions of disability, non-disability, and access.Trade Review'In this brilliant and accessible book, Tanya Titchkosky deploys a "politics of wonder" to explore the more "intimate" experience of disability that is often missing unless it is pointed out. Titchkosky's questions offer a nuanced and yet very hard-hitting phenomenological analysis of embodiment in higher educational institutions. This transforms the discussion of "access" as a bureaucratic procedural legality into a wonderful concept that relies on the intimacy of narrative, metaphor, and embodiment to foreground a politics of transformation. I suggest that this text be required reading in courses in higher education administration as well as all sociology courses.' -- Nirmala Erevelles, Department of Educational Leadership, Technology, and Policy Studies, The University of Alabama 'The Question of Access provides a very critical deconstruction of disability, disability studies, and even what it means to be dis/abled... This is a brilliant text that asks the readers to rethink their own critical understandings of accesses, even in the supposedly diverse and understanding settings of academia.' -- Allison Hitt The Canadian Journal of Disability Studies vol 01:01:2012 'Through narratives of struggle and analyses of policy and everyday practice, The Question of Access presents a thoughtful, important perspective. The book is a much needed resource with which to generate further discussion and positive change in and outside of the academy.' -- Nancy Hansen CAUT Bulletin, vol 59:03:2012 'The Question of Access is exemplary both in its development of useful concepts for Disability Studies and as a methodological demonstration of how storytelling, perception, and rationality produce new ways of understanding disability.' -- Aimi Haliraie Disability Studies Quarterly vol 33:01:2013 'Tanya Titchkosky offers a thoughtful discussion of disability related issues...This book is relevant to diverse audiences, scholars, policy makers, students, and anyone interested in examining socio-political constitutions of disabled subjects and issues of access.' -- Mark Castrodale Canadian Journal of Disability Studies, vol 3:01:2014Table of ContentsAcknowledgments Preface 1 Introduction: Accessas an Act of Perception 2 'Who?': DisabilityIdentity and the Question of Belonging 3 'What?': RepresentingDisability 4 'Where?': To Pee or Not to Pee 5 'When?

Book SynopsisNo matter where in Canada they occur, inquiries and inquests into untimely Indigenous deaths in state custody often tell the same story. Repeating details of fatty livers, mental illness, alcoholic belligerence, and a mysterious incapacity to cope with modern life, the legal proceedings declare that there are no villains here, only inevitable casualties of Indigenous life.But what about a sixty-seven-year-old man who dies in a hospital in police custody with a large, visible, purple boot print on his chest? Or a barely conscious, alcoholic older man, dropped off by police in a dark alley on a cold Vancouver night? Or Saskatoon’s infamous and lethal starlight tours, whose victims were left on the outskirts of town in sub-zero temperatures?

A milestone in the study of deaths of Aboriginal people in Canada.' -- Liqun Cao The Canadian Journal of Native Studies, vol 35:02:2015 "This a difficult but important book to read. Razack balances her analysis of state violence with the agency of Indigenous family members, but she deals with a topic few Canadians want to acknowledge." -- Lianne C. Leddy Herizons, Fall 2016| Vol 30 No.2 'Dying from Improvement is a courageous, confrontational analysis into the roots of indigenous injustice and deaths.' -- Megan Siu Canadian Law Library Review vol 41:04:2016 "While Razack does not offer explicit remedies for the crisis in accountability of the Canadian police forces, the importance of this book lies in its use as a critical tool in locating colonialism in the modern Canadian narrative, especially in the upcoming inquiry into murdered and missing indigenous women. DYING FROM IMPROVEMENT is an important read for all those who will be paying close attention to the process as it unfolds, and a call-to-arms to ensure that its outcomes, conclusions and remedies are, indeed, just." -- Kimberly Wilson Canadian Dimension, Volume 50, No2, Spring 2016 'Razack's arguments are provocative. She has constructed a compelling and disturbing analysis which will challenge readers at many levels...

This book makes an invaluable contribution to that re-assessment”. Iain Ferguson, Professor of Social Work and Social Policy, University of the West of Scotland"This book, which is currently needed more than ever, offers a valuable new generation of critical thinking about race, racism and social work. I hope it will help both social workers and those they work with to reverse these damaging times."
