Superiority or Equality - The Intricate Landscape of Racial Preference

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopsis

Racial preference is a complex and controversial issue that has plagued American society for centuries. It refers to the tendency to favor members of one's own racial group over members of other racial groups, often at the expense of those groups. Racial preference can take many forms, from discrimination in hiring and housing to unequal access to education and healthcare.

In this thought-provoking book, we delve into the historical roots of racial preference in the United States, examining how the legacy of slavery, segregation, and discrimination has created a deeply ingrained system of racial inequality. We explore the ways in which racial preference manifests itself in different areas of society, from education and employment to housing and criminal justice.

We also examine the harmful consequences of racial preference, both for individuals and society as a whole. Racial preference undermines the principles of equality and justice that are essential to a democratic society. It creates a climate of distrust and division, making it difficult to build the kind of inclusive and just society that we all want to live in.

This book is a call to action for all Americans to confront the legacy of racism in our country and to work together to create a more just and equitable society. We must challenge the attitudes and beliefs that perpetuate racial preference and work to create a society in which all people are treated with dignity and respect, regardless of their race or ethnicity.

One Quarter of the Nation -...

Nancy Foner

The impact of immigrants over the past half century has become so much a part of everyday life in the United States that we sometimes fail to see it. This deeply researched book by one of America's leading immigration scholars tells the story of how immigrants are fundamentally changing this country. 
 
 
 
An astonishing number of immigrants and their children—nearly eighty-six million people—now live in the United States. Together, they have transformed the American experience in profound and far-reaching ways that go to the heart of the country's identity and institutions. 
 
 
 
Unprecedented in scope, One Quarter of the Nation traces how immigration has reconfigured America's racial order—and, importantly, how Americans perceive race—and played a pivotal role in reshaping electoral politics and party alignments. It discusses how immigrants have rejuvenated our urban centers as well as some far-flung rural communities, and examines how they have strengthened the economy, fueling the growth of old industries and spurring the formation of new ones. This wide-ranging book demonstrates how immigration has touched virtually every facet of American culture, from the music we dance to and the food we eat to the films we watch and books we read.

Roosevelt's New Deal

Davis Truman

The Roosevelt New Deal was a series of domestic programs and initiatives launched by President Franklin D. Roosevelt shortly after he assumed office in 1933. At the time, the United States faced one of the worst economic crises in its history, with unemployment rates exceeding 25%, banks failing, and businesses closing down. In response to this crisis, Roosevelt sought to implement a range of policies to address the immediate needs of the people and the underlying causes of the economic downturn.
The New Deal was based on three primary goals: relief, recovery, and reform. Relief measures aimed to provide immediate assistance to those most affected by the Great Depression, including the unemployed, farmers, and the elderly. Recovery efforts focused on restoring the economy and creating jobs. At the same time, reform measures sought to address the structural issues that had contributed to the crisis, such as the lack of financial regulation and social safety nets.
Some of the critical initiatives of the New Deal included the creation of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), which employed young men to work on public projects such as road building and conservation; the establishment of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), which provided jobs and training to millions of unemployed workers; and the implementation of agricultural subsidies to support struggling farmers.
The New Deal also saw significant changes in the regulation of the financial sector, including the creation of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to insure bank deposits and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to regulate the stock market. Other reforms included establishing social security, which provided retirement benefits to elderly Americans, and the National Labor Relations Act, which protected workers' rights to unionize.

The Somali Famine of 2011 -...

Sarah Willards

The Somali Famine of 2011 stands as one of the most devastating humanitarian crises of the 21st century. It resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of people, the majority of whom were children, and displaced millions of others. The famine, which lasted from mid-2010 to early 2012, was driven by a combination of environmental, political, and social factors. This chapter will examine the key aspects of the crisis, providing an understanding of how it emerged and what made it so catastrophic.
The roots of the famine can be traced to a severe drought that affected much of the Horn of Africa in 2011. The drought, one of the worst in decades, was exacerbated by irregular rainfall patterns linked to climate change. Somalia, already a country struggling with inadequate infrastructure and poor governance, faced dire consequences as crops failed, livestock perished, and food supplies dwindled to critical levels. The lack of sufficient rainfall and water sources left millions without the means to grow food or sustain their livelihoods.
However, the drought alone was not the sole cause of the famine. Somalia had been suffering from ongoing conflict and instability for years. The rise of militant groups, particularly the Al-Shabaab insurgency, contributed to the breakdown of essential services, such as food distribution and medical care. The instability also hindered the ability of international aid organizations to access those in need, which only deepened the crisis. The government’s weak control over large portions of the country and its inability to respond effectively to the disaster further complicated the situation.
