Racialized Politics: The Debate about Racism in America (Studies in Communication, Media, and Public Opinion)
Are Americans less prejudiced now than they were thirty years ago, or has racism simply gone "underground"? Is racism something we learn as children, or is it a result of certain social groups striving to maintain their privileged positions in society? In Racialized Politics, political scientists, sociologists, and psychologists explore the current debate surrounding the sources of racism in America. Published here for the first time, the essays represent three major approaches to the topic. The social psychological approach maintains that prejudice socialized early in life feeds racial stereotypes, while the social structural viewpoint argues that behavior is shaped by whites' fear of losing their privileged status. The third perspective looks to non-racially inspired ideology, including attitudes about the size and role of government, as the reason for opposition to policies such as affirmative action. Timely and important, this collection provides a state-of-the-field assessment of the current issues and findings on the role of racism in mass politics and public opinion. Contributors are Lawrence Bobo, Gretchen C. Crosby, Michael C. Dawson, Christopher Federico, P. J. Henry, John J. Hetts, Jennifer L. Hochschild, William G. Howell, Michael Hughes, Donald R. Kinder, Rick Kosterman, Tali Mendelberg, Thomas F. Pettigrew, Howard Schuman, David O. Sears, James Sidanius, Pam Singh, Paul M. Sniderman, Marylee C. Taylor, and Steven A. Tuch. .

Even in Sweden: Racisms, Racialized Spaces, and the Popular Geographical Imagination
Allan Pred writes compellingly about the reawakening of racism throughout Europe at the end of the twentieth century--even in Sweden, a country widely regarded as the very model of social justice and equality. Many thousands of non-European and Muslim immigrants and refugees who took advantage of Sweden's generous immigration policies now find themselves the object of discrimination and worse. Through the cascading juxtaposition of many voices, including his own, Pred describes the intensifying cultural racism of the 1990s, the proliferation of negative ethnic stereotypes, and the spatial segregation of the non-Swedish. He quotes the newspaper Dagens Nyheter: "It is high time that Sweden reconsider its self-image as the stronghold of tolerance" (July 21, 1998), and analyzes the strategies that allow people to maintain that self-image. Perhaps the greatest strength of Even in Sweden is that Pred gives to the social consequences of global economic restructuring some very specific faces and places and a multitude of expressions of human will, both ill and good. .

Racialized Boundaries: Race, Nation, Gender, Colour and Class and the Anti-Racist Struggle
Racialized Boundaries offers an innovative approach to an analysis of the constructs of race and racism. The authors maintain that the concept of race has to be understood within the wider category of ``ethnos'' or ethnicity, which they define as a primarily political rather than a cultural phenomenon. The authors explore the ways in which race and racism serve as structuring principles for the processes of defining national boundaries and constituting national identities. They examine the ways in which the phenomenon of race and racism relate to other social divisions, such as class and gender and the way ``blackness'' can play a part in the racialization process. Finally the authors consider some of the ideologies that have influenced the ``race relations industry'' as well as some of the racial struggles surrounding this entity. In particular they look at what they term, ``community ideology,'' which underlies in different ways both multi-culturalist and anti-racist schools of thought and apply this ideology to a critical examination of identity politics..

Whitewash: Racialized Politics and the Media
This book puts the language used in television, the radio, the internet and press, as well as that spoken by key leaders, under the spotlight It questions how these various mediums might be accused of constructing a language of white supremacy of ideas and politics. Taking specific examples and presenting factual evidence, it studies the racial politics that lie behind much of the communication in the public arena, including that of minority factions and also the political and cultural mainstram. John Gabriel also describes and re-values the larger questions and debates surrounding the relationship between media communication and more general economic and political developments. Under chapter headings such as "Genealogies of Whiteness" and "The Fringe and The Fabric: The Politics of White Pride" comparative case studies draw on contemporary political controversies and are used to explore the specific dynamics of the relationship between racialised forms of media discourse and political and economic change. What is ultimately revealed is the existence of a "white" language, both coded and overt, which re-casts and re-invents dominant representations of whiteness..

Racialized Bodies, Disabling Worlds: Storied Lives of Immigrant Muslim Women
In Racialized Bodies, Disabling Worlds, Parin Dossa explores the lives of Canadian Muslim women who share their stories of social marginalization and disenfranchisement in a disabling world. She shows how these women -- who are subjected to social erasure in policy and research -- define their identities and claim their humanity using the language of everyday life. Based on narrative ethnography, Racialized Bodies, Disabling Worlds makes a case for positive acknowledgement of perceived differences of nationality, religion, multiple-abilities, and gendered and race-based identities. It offers a powerful argument for bridging two disparate bodies of work: disability studies and anti-racist feminism. Most significantly, it shows how racialized Muslim women with disabilities are redefining the parameters of their social worlds and developing a distinctively pluralistic understanding of abilities. This ground-breaking work gives presence to the lives of people who are otherwise rendered socially invisible. .

Racialized gendering of the accountancy profession: toward an understanding of Chinese women's experiences in accountancy in New Zealand [An article from: Critical Perspectives on Accounting]
This digital document is a journal article from Critical Perspectives on Accounting, published by Elsevier in 2004. The article is delivered in HTML format and is available in your Amazon.com Media Library immediately after purchase. You can view it with any web browser. Description: In the last two decades or so there has been lively academic and political debate about the continued gendering process of the accountancy profession. Less attention, however, has been given to the impact of racialization of the accountancy profession on the lives of ethnic minorities and even less attention to ethnic minority women. Yet a growing body of evidence has forced critical researchers to clarify the additional barriers to success ethnic minority women face in the accountancy profession due to a confluence of race/ethnicity and gender/sex discrimination. This study of Chinese women accountants' experiences in New Zealand demonstrates that because of their two negatively evaluated statuses, ethnic minority women in general and Chinese women in particular are positioned at the very bottom of the power structure in the domain of predominantly this White-male profession. .
