Download or read book The Art of Exclusion written by Albert Boime. This book was released on 1990. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Boime presents a major critique and revisionist interpretation of the portrayal of black people in the nineteenth century ... examines the fundamental historical, social, and cultural assumptions of those times. Reading the images as texts, Boime ... demonstrates how the art reveals ... deep-seated attitudes of that time toward blacks ... Though the art revealed the controlling social hierarchy ... it also presented the perspective of blacks themselves, 'insiders' experiencing the oppressiveness of the images that stereotyped and confined them ... Boime shows that art, by shaping and reinforcing social standards, contributed directly to the debasement and subjugation of African peoples and their descendants of the diaspora"--Dustjacket.

Book excerpt: The first practical handbook that helps individuals and organizations recognize and prevent microaggressions so that all employees can feel a sense of belonging. Our workplaces and society are growing more diverse, but are we supporting inclusive cultures? While overt racism, sexism, ableism, and other forms of discrimination are relatively easy to spot, we cannot neglect the subtler everyday actions that normalize exclusion. Many have heard the term microaggression, but not everyone fully understands what they are or how to recognize them and stop them from happening. Tiffany Jana and Michael Baran offer a clearer, more accessible term, subtle acts of exclusion, or SAEs, to emphasize the purpose and effects of these actions. After all, people generally aren't trying to be aggressive--usually they're trying to say something nice, learn more about a person, be funny, or build closeness. But whether in the form of exaggerated stereotypes, backhanded compliments, unfounded assumptions, or objectification, SAE are damaging to our coworkers, friends, and acquaintances. Jana and Baran give simple and clear tools to identify and address such acts, offering scripts and action plans for everybody involved. Knowing how to have these conversations in an open-minded, honest way will help us build trust and create stronger workplaces and healthier, happier people and communities.

Book Synopsis Exclusion & Embrace by : Miroslav Volf

Download or read book Exclusion & Embrace written by Miroslav Volf. This book was released on 2010-03-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life at the end of the twentieth century presents us with a disturbing reality. Otherness, the simple fact of being different in some way, has come to be defined as in and of itself evil. Miroslav Volf contends that if the healing word of the gospel is to be heard today, Christian theology must find ways of speaking that address the hatred of the other. Reaching back to the New Testament metaphor of salvation as reconciliation, Volf proposes the idea of embrace as a theological response to the problem of exclusion. Increasingly we see that exclusion has become the primary sin, skewing our perceptions of reality and causing us to react out of fear and anger to all those who are not within our (ever-narrowing) circle. In light of this, Christians must learn that salvation comes, not only as we are reconciled to God, and not only as we "learn to live with one another", but as we take the dangerous and costly step of opening ourselves to the other, of enfolding him or her in the same embrace with which we have been enfolded by God.

Download or read book The Arsenal of Exclusion & Inclusion written by Tobias Armborst. This book was released on 2017. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who gets to be where? The Arsenal of Exclusion & Inclusion examines some of the policies, practices, and physical artifacts that have been used by planners, policymakers, developers, real estate brokers, community activists, and other urban actors in the United States to draw, erase, or redraw the lines that divide. The Arsenal inventories these weapons of exclusion and inclusion, describes how they have been used, and speculates about how they might be deployed (or retired) for the sake of more open cities in which more people have access to more places. With contributions from over fifty architects, planners, geographers, historians, and journalists, The Arsenal offers a wide-ranging view of the forces that shape our cities. by Interboro (Tobias Armborst, Daniel D'Oca, Georgeen Theodore)
