Something's in the Air - Race, Crime, and the Legalization of Marijuana (Hardcover, New): Katherine Tate, James Lance... Something's in the Air - Race, Crime, and the Legalization of Marijuana (Hardcover, New)
Katherine Tate, James Lance Taylor, Mark Q. Sawyer
R4,138 Discovery Miles 41 380 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

America's drug laws have always exerted an unequal and unfair toll on Blacks and Latinos, who are arrested more often than Whites for the possession of illegal drugs and given harsher sentences. In this volume, contributors ask how would marijuana legalization affect communities of color? Is legalization of marijuana necessary to safeguard minority families from a lifetime of hardship and inequality? Who in minority communities favors legalization and why, and do these minority opinions differ from the opinions held by White Americans? This volume also includes analyses of the policy debate by a range of scholars addressing economic, health, and empowerment issues. Comparative lessons from other countries are also analyzed.

Racial Politics in Post-Revolutionary Cuba (Paperback, New): Mark Q. Sawyer Racial Politics in Post-Revolutionary Cuba (Paperback, New)
Mark Q. Sawyer
R966 Discovery Miles 9 660 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book analyzes the triumphs and failures of the Castro regime in the area of race relations. It places the Cuban revolution in a comparative and international framework and challenges arguments that the regime eliminated racial inequality or that it was profoundly racist. Through interviews, historical materials, and survey research, it provides a balanced view. The book maintains that Cuba has not been a racial democracy as some have argued. However, it also argues that Cuba has done more than any other society to eliminate racial inequality. The contemporary outlook of the book demonstrates how much of Cuban racial ideology was unchanged by the revolution. Thus, the current implementation of market reforms and in particular tourism has exacerbated racial inequalities. Finally, it holds that despite these shortcomings, the regime remains popular among blacks because they perceive their alternatives of the US and the Miami Exile community to be far worse.
