Intersections: A Contemporary Student Primer on Race, Gender, and
Class provides students with an illuminating and timely collection
of articles pertaining to these key social issues in American
history and contemporary culture. Students learn how to recognize
the intersections of race, gender, and class, how to navigate these
intersections in academic and personal pursuits, and how to serve
as change agents for social justice. The anthology is divided into
four units: theoretical foundations, historical perspectives,
American culture, and contemporary moments. In Unit 1, students
read selections that introduce Black feminist thought and shed
light on income disparity. Unit 2 includes readings that examine
labor and race relations in American history and culture. The
articles in Unit 3 focus on American popular culture and competing
standards of beauty. The final unit offers selections that explore
the politics of constructions of womanhood, manhood, motherhood,
and fatherhood through the lens of the Obama White House. Each
reading is supported by pre-reading questions that inspire critical
thinking and self-reflection, as well as post-reading questions
that challenge deeper analysis concerning issues of power and
empowerment. A diverse collection of current scholarship,
Intersections is well suited for courses in history, politics,
economics, sociology, gender studies, ethnic studies, and popular
culture.
The ramifications of the trans-Saharan, trans-Atlantic, Indian
Ocean, and domestic African slave trades are immeasurable, and they
continue to disaffect black people from Africa to Haiti and Los
Angeles to Lagos. Shackled Sentiments focuses on the memories and
embodiments of slavery through case studies from western, eastern,
and central Africa, the Caribbean, and Latin America. The
contributors to this collection examine the ways that memories of
slavery have been internalized. Slavery and memory are assessed
from multiple perspectives: as sets of ritual practices,
community-based systems of spirit veneration, mechanisms of
resistance and national pride, sacred languages informing
personhood, and instruments for healing and well-being. This book
is recommended for scholars of anthropology, history, religion,
art, and linguistics.
