A History of the Harlem Renaissance

Race and Ethnicity in Psychology

This volume shares innovative methods to treat inequities. Many of these utilize the strengths of culturally grounded approaches to care, including radical healing, training young people of color in civic engagement, and embracing the power of spirituality and creativity.

Written by psychologists, mental health care providers, and researchers, the contributions in this volume challenge inequities from myriad personal and professional perspectives. Many of the contemporary and novel methods used to confront inequities discussed in this book capitalize on the strengths of culturally grounded approaches to help and treatment. These include radical healing, training young people of color in civic engagement, and embracing how spirituality and creativity can help people and communities solve problems and thrive in adverse circumstances. From reconsidering the #MeToo movement to proposing powerful ways to prevent the further legal and cultural prosecution of immigrants in the United States, this book proposes solutions to the most harmful and visible inequity problems across the country. As the only book that addresses the psychology of inequity at the personal and national levels and across different cultural contexts, this volume is a must-read for those looking to solve inequity problems and help victims heal from their insidious effects.

Social Actions and Movements

The Psychology of Inequity

In many European states, multiculturalism has recently come under attack, being openly questioned by many in both the public and political spaces as being in 'crisis'. Prompting many of these attacks have been incidents or events - typically interpreted as 'controversies' - that have involved or centred on issues relating to Muslims or Islam. Having ramifications in the social, cultural or political spaces, many have seen these controversies as accentuating the 'problem' of Muslims and Islam. Focusing on a number of these 'crises' and 'controversies', this book seeks to to interrogate the theories of Islamophobia through the lens of a series of different 'crises and controversies' that have involved - or have been perceived as involving - Muslims or Islam. This book critically engages these 'crises and controversies' through the framework of the definitions, theories and concepts explored in the author's earlier book Islamophobia? (Ashgate, 2010). Allen's latest boo sets out to: better understand where, how and why the responses of both the right, left and centre of the European political spectrum are seemingly converging in views and attitudes towards Muslims and Islam; contribute additional knowledge to the still relatively under-researched yet extremely timely phenomenon of Islamophobia and anti-Muslim hatred; and consider how this links to and affects attitudes and expressions manifested in the public and social spaces. Employing a largely thematic approach, this book focuses on the linked impacts of a range of different controversies that have occurred at the local, national and regional levels. These include: Invasion and Islamification - Eurabia and the Islamic Invasion; Physical and Material - minarets and mosques; Culture and 'Our Way of Life' - between us and them; Values and Freedoms - veils, hijabs and niqabs; Speech and Offence - cartoons and caricatures; Terrorism and Threat - 'home-grown bombers' to exter

Black Literary and Cultural Expressions

An interrogation of the poetry of Mazisi Kunene that places his work in the context of African literature and the richness of the oral tradition, as well as his political activism that connects him to the wider African diaspora.
 
As Africa's foremost epic poet, Mazisi Kunene occupies a unique place in history. In this study, Dike Okoro illuminates the penetrating insights found in Kunene's poetry and the reasons why his art has been considered as masterpieces grounded in geography, history, and culture. He situates Kunene as a theorist who embraces African tradition - including his adoption of izibongo, Zulu praise poetry - and the role of the artist as a chronicler of his people's history, committed to art as a catalyst for change, not justd South Africa but for Africans around the globe.
 
 These essays and interviews address the post-apartheid reality of South Africa and draw from a repository of rich images found in Kunene's poetry to provide examples of depictions of colonial exploitation in Africa; the rootedness of traditional African culture; women and children who bring hope; and art as a way to effect change. They demonstrate Kunene's profound influence on and in world literature, interrogating his work for its style and connections with poetry by Native Americans and other Indigenous literary traditions. 
 
The Epic Poetry of Mazisi Kunene argues that Mazisi Kunene's poetry centers non-human beings (animals and plants), the pristine environment of the olden days, and the cosmology of his Zulu ethnicity, asserting the relevance of his art - in this 21st-century moment of climate crisis - as both a form of activism and a political tool to the African creative writer.

The Epic Poetry of Mazisi Kunene

Arguably the greatest novel of the twentieth century, James Joyce's Ulysses remains as much of a shocking and redemptive testament to the human condition as it was when it was first conceived in 1914. Following the events of a single day in Dublin and the experiences of Stephen Dedalus, Leopold Bloom and his wife Molly, Ulysses' ceaseless verbal and formal inventiveness and its astonishing wide-ranging allusions continue to have a profound influence on contemporary culture. A new, annotated students' edition of one of the twentieth century's greatest novels, using the original 1922 text, now the preferred text of Joyce's masterwork, this annotated Student Edition includes extensive notes, line numbers and an introduction by world-renowned Joycean scholar, Andrew Gibson.

For Joyce, literature is 'the eternal affirmation of the spirit of man'. Written between 1914 and 1921, Ulysses has survived bowdlerisation, legal action and bitter controversy. An undisputed modernist classic, its ceaseless verbal inventiveness and astonishing wide-ranging allusions confirm its standing as an imperishable monument to the human condition. A new edition of one of the twentieth century's greatest novels, using the original 1922 text - now the preferred text of Joyce's masterwork - this annotated Student Edition includes extensive notes, line numbers and an introduction by world-renowned Joycean scholar, Andrew Gibson.

New Directions in Critical Criminology

Drawing on a range of approaches including conflict, critical race, and social control theories, this book provides a comprehensive theoretical review of the need for a critical historical intersectional theory of policing and race.

The reaction to Ferguson, the murder of Trayvon Martin and other police-related deaths around the US has brought race and the criminal justice system to the forefront of current scholarly discussion. However, unlike the past, racial realism has been brought to the front line via expressions from those affected by police mistreatment as well as official reports from the Department of Justice and social justice advocacy groups. Although a public conversation has begun, lacking within this discourse is a cogent forthright criminological assessment that includes expressions and namely experiences from those affected by police-violenceDrawing on a range of approaches including conflict, critical race, and social control theories, this book provides a comprehensive theoretical review of the need for a critical historical intersectional theory of policing and race. Disrupting the obsolescence of racial realism in policing literature, this book also discusses the social and democratic implications of using critical historical intersectional analyzes in criminological research involving race.

Policing and Race

Drawing on theories of everyday life, Tara Thomson explores modernist fiction by women who were afforded new roles and opportunities in a world characterized by social and political change. At the same time the realities of women's everyday lives lagged behind the promises of modernity. Thomson reads the works of Dorothy Richardson, Virginia Woolf, Katherine Mansfield, and Elizabeth Bowen to explore the complex position of women with respect to everyday life throughout the interwar years. She focuses particularly on the unique narrative techniques these authors developed to reveal how everyday practices produce and are produced by ideology. Drawing on a substantial body of everyday theory, feminist theory, and the socio-historical contexts of modernism, Thomson's book asks what sustained attention to the everyday can tell us about the feminist aims of modernist fiction.

Faced with a rapidly changing world, modernist authors turned their attention to the mundane details of everyday life, seeking new discourses and techniques to articulate their experiences of modernity.

Modernism, Feminism and Everyday Life

Considering evidence from a range of contemporary societies this book explores themes such as whether there is an emergence of new forms of identification based on ethnicity and religion. It also explores the ways in which wider processes of change generate problems for modern societies, and undermine the frameworks through which people relate to institutions, each other and themselves. At a time when Britain and America, amongst other countries, are experiencing intense anxieties about managing social and cultural diversity in a multiethnic society, this book will make particularly compelling reading. It will appeal to students and scholars across the social sciences, particularly those with interests in race and ethnicity, social inequalities, community and identity.

Routledge Introductions to American Literature

In this latest addition to the Routledge Studies in American Literature series, Frederick Luis Aldama, shows the rich, evolving tapestry that makes up Latino/a literature across time as well as geographical and institutional spaces, touching on fundamental backdrops like political issues surrounding migration/immigration to the US as well as Central American, South American, and Caribbean political, social and cultural influences that have each added considerable depth, contrast, and variation to this tapestry.

The topic of Latino/a Literature is not as easily identifiable as it may seem. The definition itself of Latino can change depending on who you are talking to—so, what do we mean in this case, and what will this book explore? In this latest addition to the Routledge Studies in American Literature series, Frederick Luis Aldama, shows the rich, evolving tapestry that makes up "Latino/a literature" across time as well as geographical and institutional spaces, touching on fundamental backdrops like political issues surrounding migration/immigration to the US as well as Central American, South American, and Caribbean political, social and cultural influences that have each added considerable depth, contrast, and variation to the tapestry. This impressive and increasingly influential body of literature that continues to transform the US in countless ways has been underrepresented in the academic community. With the majority minority of the country quickly becoming the majority in some states, Latino/a literature needs more to be given more attention which is exactly what Aldama brilliantly achieves with this new study that covers well know and lesser known works by Latino/a writes of the last few centuries and gives context to the times and environment in which they were written. Offering readers an exceptionally comprehensive review of this vital and under-explored subject, Aldama’s Introduction to Latino/a Literature promises to be an indispensable text.
