Book Description
As in other times, in other times and in many places and moments in history, talking about Freedom has always been a matter of concern for those who oppress, because to oppress is to disturb the individual and collective freedoms of others, of innocent peoples. The oppressed is never guilty but is always the victim of the oppressor, which is generally a whole system personified in the figure of an oppressive tyrant or an oppressive tyrannical group. And so many peoples throughout the history of humanity have undergone that long learning of forced submission to a system that destroys them and prevents them from being free, and always, in all ages, peoples have decided their own destinies. . From the American Revolution that led to the Civil War that provided a new outlook for the Western world and a powerful new nation, to Mao's Red Revolution that began with the uprisings of student groups in Xiangtan, Hunan Province and spread throughout the country mobilizing the masses to fight and end the national division, the dying empire of the Qing dynasty and its last emperor PuYi, as well as the fight against the Chinese secessionists in that case, the Guo Ming Tang, who they ended up exiled to Taiwan until today and, above all, the struggle and triumph against the Japanese invasion. The revolution is not a chance event, nor can its emergence be prevented, since it is the result of events in the history of each nation. Oppressors can always kill, murder, imprison, shoot, lie and cheat, manipulate and destroy, buy and bribe, because that has been their role throughout history, ... their archetype, rather; but they can never prevent or impede revolution. At most, they can delay it, nothing more. The most maliciously intelligent, like the Romans already in the second millennium, adopted the revolution of the Jewish insurgents and took possession of it and built on it the survival and extension of their empire, turning it into the Holy Roman Empire as they were called. But when all the parties do not join the People and their revolution, then they easily end up in the chair of the accused and judged by their peoples and history. The socialist, nationalist, or communist terms with which the popular revolution or revolution of the peoples are identified are only labels associated with specific systems of government. The true revolution is neither socialist nor capitalist but belongs to the people; It is a natural mechanism of peoples throughout their history to return to the natural order of things, to freedom and respect for the rights of people and social justice. When societies lose their sense of freedom, law and social justice, then the Revolution always springs up as a consequential and natural effect. The incessant search for freedom of the peoples, and the desire for emancipation over the lower powers that submit their destinies, has always led peoples throughout history to demonstrate in search of a forceful advance, a transcendental change, to which It has always been called Revolution, meaning a process of return to evolution, to programmed continuity. To evolve is to go forward, and a Revolution entails the return or return to the correct and desired direction or direction of things. That is why good revolutions have always triumphed, for that is how youth revolutions are. Young people are by nature lovers of change, and although they adapt to everything they also adopt their own way of doing things and seeing the world. Throughout contemporary history, youths have literally managed to move mountains. There is no successful revolution in history, from the French Revolution to the Industrial Revolution, or much later the socialist revolutions in the East and the West; or more specifically in Africa, the independence revolutions that culminated in the creation and independence of most of the countries that we recognize today in Africa; all of them had the energies and the din of the young people. The famous and courageous members of the Black Panther Party in the United States were seventeen to twenty-two-year-old youths, warriors who shook the pillars of racism in American society, the most historic, political, and overtly racist modern society. And the greatest, the greatest revolutionaries are, in truth, the eyes and the brain of every revolution. The Total Revolution to which the peoples of the world aspire is not a transcendental or apocalyptic event, but a sudden change of universal consciousness about certain truths of our reality that are also universal. The truth that injustices and crimes, abuses and impunity cannot create anything positive in any society is the creed of a revolutionary. The truth that fear cannot prevail over the day-to-day opportunity to change, to challenge, to triumph, is the hymn of a revolutionary. These are the Foundations of the Revolutionary Consciousness, and the Evolution of the Thought of the People - of the popular classes - against all kinds of Oppression.

Dissects the layers of oppression -- how it is expressed blatantly or subtly and overtly or covertly. Explores how oppression is manifested on different levels including interpersonal, institutional/systemic, and internalized, for a deeper understanding. Demonstrates how oppression influences peoples’ thoughts, attitudes, feelings, and behaviors, and how it influences peoples’ well-being and health. Explores why certain people are discriminated against simply because of their race, ethnicity, gender, or sexuality and the resulting psychological implications. Highlights what researchers and service providers are doing to address oppression via encouraging community and clinical interventions. Examines why oppression exists and has persisted throughout history and what it looks like today. Recommends future psychological work on oppression across research, clinical, and community contexts.

Author: Ann E. Cudd Publisher: Oxford University Press ISBN: 0195187431 Category : Philosophy Languages : en Pages : 293
Book Description
Analyzing Oppression presents a new, integrated theory of social oppression, which tackles the fundamental question that no theory of oppression has satisfactorily answered: if there is no natural hierarchy among humans, why are some cases of oppression so persistent? Cudd argues that the explanation lies in the coercive co-opting of the oppressed to join in their own oppression. This answer sets the stage for analysis throughout the book, as it explores the questions of how and why the oppressed join in their oppression. Cudd argues that oppression is an institutionally structured harm perpetrated on social groups by other groups using direct and indirect material, economic, and psychological force. Among the most important and insidious of the indirect forces is an economic force that operates through oppressed persons' own rational choices. This force constitutes the central feature of analysis, and the book argues that this force is especially insidious because it conceals the fact of oppression from the oppressed and from others who would be sympathetic to their plight. The oppressed come to believe that they suffer personal failings and this belief appears to absolve society from responsibility. While on Cudd's view oppression is grounded in material exploitation and physical deprivation, it cannot be long sustained without corresponding psychological forces. Cudd examines the direct and indirect psychological forces that generate and sustain oppression. She discusses strategies that groups have used to resist oppression and argues that all persons have a moral responsibility to resist in some way. In the concluding chapter Cudd proposes a concept of freedom that would be possible for humans in a world that is actively opposing oppression, arguing that freedom for each individual is only possible when we achieve freedom for all others.

Book Description
In spite of the double burden of racial and gender discrimination, African-American women have developed a rich intellectual tradition that is not widely known. In Black Feminist Thought, Patricia Hill Collins explores the words and ideas of Black feminist intellectuals as well as those African-American women outside academe. She provides an interpretive framework for the work of such prominent Black feminist thinkers as Angela Davis, bell hooks, Alice Walker, and Audre Lorde. The result is a superbly crafted book that provides the first synthetic overview of Black feminist thought.

Book Description
Winner of the 2016 NYASA Book Award presented by the New York African Studies Association When students are introduced to the study of diversity and social justice, it is usually from sociological and psychological perspectives. The scholars and activists featured in this anthology reject this approach as too limiting, insisting that we adopt a view that is both transdisciplinary and multiperspectival. Their essays focus on the components of diversity, social justice, and inclusive excellence, not just within the United States but in other parts of the world. They examine diversity in the contexts of culture, race, class, gender, learned ability and dis/ability, religion, sexual orientation, and citizenship, and explore how these concepts and identities interrelate. The result is a book that will provide readers with a better theoretical understanding of diversity studies and will enable them to see and think critically about oppression and how systems of oppression may be challenged.

Book Description
ìIt is a great honorÖto write the foreword to such an important book edited by E.J.R. David, filled with contributions from leading and emerging psychological scholars on internalized oppression. One of the best features of the book, in my opinion, is that the chapter authorsÖare allowed to share their own personal experiences and that such experiences are regarded to be just as valid and legitimate as the ëtheoriesí and ëempirical studiesí that they review.î -Eduardo Duran, PhD 7th Direction Therapy, Assessment, and Consulting Author of Healing the Soul Wound and Co-Author of Native American Postcolonial Psychology The oppression of various groups has taken place throughout human history. People are stereotyped, discriminated against, and treated unjustly simply because of their social group membership. But what does it look like when the oppression that people face from the outside gets under their skin? Long overdue, this is the first book to highlight the universality of internalized oppression across marginalized groups in the United States from a mental health perspective. It focuses on the psychological manifestations and mental health implications of internalized oppression for a variety of groups. The book provides insight into the ways in which internalized oppression influences the thoughts, attitudes, feelings, and behaviors of the oppressed toward themselves, other members of their group, and members of the dominant group. It also considers promising clinical and community programs that are currently addressing internalized oppression among specific groups. The book describes the implications and unique manifestations of internalized oppression among African Americans, Latinos, Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders, American Indians and Alaska natives, women, people with disabilities, and the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community. For each group, the text considers its demographic profile, history of oppression, contemporary oppression, common manifestations and mental and behavioral health implications, clinical and community programs, and future directions. Chapters are written by leading and emerging scholars, who share their personal experiences to provide a real-world point of view. Additionally, each chapter is coauthored by a member of a particular community group, who helps to bring academic concepts to life. Key Features: Addresses the universality of internalized oppression across marginalized groups in the U.S. and its corresponding mental health and psychological manifestations Considers how specific groups exhibit internalized oppression in their own unique ways Provides insight into how internalized oppression influences the thoughts, feelings, attitudes, and behaviors of the oppressed Highlights promising clinical and community programs

Book Description
In this revolutionary book, a renowned computer scientist explains the importance of teaching children the basics of computing and how it can prepare them to succeed in the ever-evolving tech world. Computers have completely changed the way we teach children. We have Mindstorms to thank for that. In this book, pioneering computer scientist Seymour Papert uses the invention of LOGO, the first child-friendly programming language, to make the case for the value of teaching children with computers. Papert argues that children are more than capable of mastering computers, and that teaching computational processes like de-bugging in the classroom can change the way we learn everything else. He also shows that schools saturated with technology can actually improve socialization and interaction among students and between students and teachers. Technology changes every day, but the basic ways that computers can help us learn remain. For thousands of teachers and parents who have sought creative ways to help children learn with computers, Mindstorms is their bible.
