How To Be An Antiracist / Ibram X. Kendi

Public ISBD Title : How To Be An Antiracist Material Type: printed text Authors: Ibram X. Kendi, Author Publisher: One World Publishing ISBN (or other code): 978-0-525-50928-8 Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: Activism and Community Organizing Black Studies Black/Anti-Black Human Rights Police Police Brutality Political Thought Race/Anti-Racism Social Movements Abstract: Antiracism is a transformative concept that reorients and reenergizes the conversation about racism - and, even more fundamentally, points us toward liberating new ways of thinking about ourselves and each other. At its core, racism is a powerful system that creates false hierarchies of human value; its warped logic extends beyond race, from the way we regard people of different ethnicities or skin colours to the way we treat people of different sexes, gender identities, and body types. Racism intersects with class and culture and geography and even changes the way we see and value ourselves. In How to Be an Antiracist, Kendi takes readers through a widening circle of antiracist ideas - from the most basic concepts to visionary possibilities - that will help readers see all forms of racism clearly, understand their poisonous consequences, and work to oppose them in our systems and in ourselves. Kendi weaves an electrifying combination of ethics, history, law, and science with his own personal story of awakening to antiracism. This is an essential work for anyone who wants to go beyond the awareness of racism to the next step: contributing to the formation of a just and equitable society.

Mother California: A Story of Redemption Behind Bars / Kenneth Hartman

Public ISBD Title : Mother California: A Story of Redemption Behind Bars Material Type: printed text Authors: Kenneth Hartman, Author Publisher: New York [USA] : Atlas & Co. Publishers ISBN (or other code): PRI HAR 2009 Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: Activism and Community Organizing Biography Human Rights Labour, Poverty and Class Police Police Brutality Prisons Prisons and Criminalization Prisons and Political Prisoners Abstract: The fierce and affecting memoir of a convicted murderer, whose growing self-awareness enables him to understand his crime and achieve redemption. In 1980, Kenneth Hartman murdered a homeless man in a Los Angeles park after a drug-fueled binge. Sentenced to life without parole by the state of California, Hartman was soon considered a potent force by the system’s most brutal convicts. To the hellish chaos of a maximum-security prison he brought his own limitless propensity for violence—he often spent months at a time in solitary confinement, “the Hole.” After years in the cold embrace of the state prison system, Hartman discovered a vocation for writing; he also met, through a chance phone call, the woman he would marry and have a child by. With poignancy and self awareness, Hartman chronicles the anarchy and brutish moral code that rules in some of the world’s most infamous prisons, where physical punishment is the only form of control. Over time, Hartman evolves into a sentient being; follows his newly discovered spiritual and literary inclinations; and learns to deal with his demanding responsibilities as a family man. The final chapter describes his development of the Honor Program, which helps motivated prisoners escape the ravages of incarceration. Mother California is the story of a man who did not succumb to the darkness of the only world left to him. It offers definite proof that there is no such thing as a life beyond redemption.
