Accountable Masculinity - Identifying the Disciplined Man in You

Vinziant Victor

Beschreibung

Accountable Masculinity intends to unify like-minded men to diversify and organize the talents of men regardless of their version of what true masculinity is. 

The goal is simply to be a better and more accountable version of yourself and on behalf of YOUR RELATIVE culture. 

We are obligated as men to be in a position to coach, teach, and mentor. When you know better, should you NOT do better? 

It’s not just to ‘avoid burning bridges’, it’s to avoid destroying the access to the resources that protect you. 

You don’t have to be a humble man, you just have to possess the capacity to display HUMILITY. I’m not humble. 

Survival mode NEGATES Accountable Masculinity. Men should be working to get into RESOURCED positions to avoid pouring from empty cups that survival mode affords. 

Keep in mind, you can only have what you can afford. What does your brand of masculinity afford you?

Unsettling Choice - Race Rights...

Ujju Aggarwal

What do universal rights to public goods like education mean when codified as individual, private choices? Is the "problem" of school choice actually not about better choices for all but about the competition and exclusion that choice engenders? Unsettling Choice addresses such questions through a compelling ethnography that illuminates how one path of neoliberal restructuring in the United States emerged in tandem with, and in response to, the Civil Rights movement. 
 
 
 
Unsettling Choice traces the contestations that surfaced when, in the wake of the 2007–2009 Great Recession, public schools navigated austerity by expanding choice-based programs. Ujju Aggarwal argues that this strategy mobilized mechanisms rooted in market logics to recruit families with economic capital on their side, solidifying a public sphere that increasingly resembled the private. 
 
 
 
As Unsettling Choice shows, these struggles over public schools were entrapped within neoliberal regimes that exceeded privatization and ensured exclusion even as they were couched in language of equity, diversity, care, and rights. This book tracks an architecture of expansive rights, care, and belonging built among poor and working-class parents at a Head Start center, whose critique of choice helps us understand how we might struggle for justice, and a public that remains to be won.
