Violence and Social Injustice Against Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual
People helps you look past the stereotypical picture of violence
against sexual minorities--the public physical assaults on gay,
lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered youth by hypermasculine male
thugs--and directs you toward the many daily acts of quiet violence
that go on, unhindered, in the workaday settings of our legal,
social, educational, and law-enforcement institutions. You ll learn
about the frightening prevelance of complacency, homophobic
ignorance, and apathy that pervades our police departments, courts,
high schools, and churches. Also, armed with this critical insight
and statistical research, you ll be better equipped to wage a
non-violent war of fairness and mutual respect against the daily,
senseless violence of policy and practice that threatens to render
gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered people unwelcome and
battered citizens in their own communities.You ll find that
Violence and Social Injustice Against Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual
People is ideal for aiding social workers, counselors, teachers,
and criminal justice officials in removing the unseen acts of
violence from the policies and practices of the public sector.
These and other specific areas will give you the information and
the fortitude necessary to evoke positive change in your community:
legal issues relating to same-sex marriage the connection between
social injustice and violence violence against sexual minority
youth sexual identity and ethnic minorities practice and policy
recommendationsAs this book shows, violence against sexual
minorities can be subtly woven into the very fabric of some of our
most long-standing, respected social institutions. For too long,
the sexual minorities of color, for example, and the lesbian who
suffers physical assault at the hands of a partner, have had little
or no help from social workers, law enforcement, or education for
fear of receiving either complete negligence or increased
antagonism. But now, in Violence and Social Injustice Against
Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual People, you ll find the facts and tools
necessary for turning the ugliness of communal violence into social
justice for people of all sexual orientations.

This book examines and encourages the increasing involvement of
those in the social sciences, including social work, as well as
everyday citizens, with environmental injustices that affect the
natural ecology, community health, and physical and mental health
of marginalized communities. The authors draw on their diverse
experiences in research, practice, and education to suggest
interdisciplinary strategies for addressing environmental justice,
climate change, and ecological destruction on both a local and
global scale. This insightful work presents models for action,
practice, and education, including field learning, with examples of
how programs and schools have integrated and infused environmental
justice content across their curricula. Environmental and
ecological impacts on local communities as well as the whole
ecology of life are examined. Models for engaging civic dialogue,
addressing structural oppression, and employing other
interdisciplinary responses to environmental injustices are
provided. Topics explored among the chapters include: Water, Air,
and Land: The Foundation for Life, Food, and Society Human Health
and Well-Being in Times of Global Environmental Crisis Power and
Politics: Protection, Rebuilding, and Justice Pathways to Change:
Community and Environmental Transformation Decolonizing Nature: The
Potential of Nature to Heal The Intersection of Environmental
Justice, Climate Change, Community, and the Ecology of Life equips
readers to identify the impact of the global environmental crisis
in their own communities. Emphasizing the need for immediate action
on ecological, climate, and environmental justice issues, this
forward-thinking book assists social science professionals,
educators, researchers, and other concerned individuals with the
knowledge needed for creating meaningful interdisciplinary
responses in their communities as they take action within a rapidly
changing context.
Critical Multiculturalism and Intersectionality in a Complex World
guides the reader through a process of critical self-reflection
that allows for examination of social identities, biases, and
experiences of oppression and privilege. Its exploration of the
history, sources, mechanisms, structures, and current
manifestations of oppression - complimented by case examples (with
new stories from across the globe) and guiding questions - provides
a framework for improving the ability to recognize, confront, and
dismantle oppressions. Deeper cultural patterns, implicit biases,
and internalized negative perceptions are examined, enabling
readers to explore cultures that have different patterns, values,
and behaviors while challenging their own biases about 'other'
cultures. In addition to a focus on the USA, this edition features
added content on Brazil, United Arab Emirates, Canada, South
Africa, Australia, India, and Kenya. This new edition will appeal
to all graduate and undergraduate students of the social sciences,
human sciences, and humanities.
