A Just Future
A Just Future addresses the
precarious future of American higher education and diversity and
inclusion initiatives along with it. From a global
pandemic to a national reckoning with anti-Blackness, the 2020
historical conjuncture brutally revealed the impact of structural
inequalities on historically marginalized communities and
galvanized college students, diversity officers, and educators on a
scale not seen since the 1960s. In so doing, it exposed the
unfinished business of the civil rights era and the limits of
diversity and inclusion reforms.
The time has come to create a more just future for the most
marginalized community members at higher education institutions. To
do so, we must share a common understanding of where we have been,
what went wrong, and how to get back on track. Barton draws on
abolitionist frameworks of social change to provide a bold,
comprehensive guide to abolitionism in education, not only for
diversity, equity, and inclusion practitioners but also higher
education leaders and faculty. As a result, A Just Future provides
new values, tools, and mindsets to address-and redress-ongoing
forms of oppression that thrive on college campuses.

Counterrevolution : the crusade to roll back the gains of the Civil Rights Movement
\"In Black Reconstruction W.E.B. Du Bois wrote, \"The slave went free; stood for a brief moment in the sun; then moved back again toward slavery.\" His words echo across the decades as the civil rights revolution, marked by the passage of landmark civil rights laws in the '60s, has seen those gains steadily and systematically whittled away. As history testifies, revolution nearly always triggers its antithesis: counterrevolution. In this book Steinberg provides an analysis of this backlash, tracing the reverse flow of history that has led to the current national reckoning on race. Steinberg puts counterrevolution into historical and theoretical perspective, exploring the \"victim-blaming\" and \"colorblind\" discourses that emerged in the post-segregation era and undermined progress toward racial equality, and led to the gutting of affirmative action. This book reflects Steinberg's long career as a critical race scholar, culminating with his assessment of our current moment and the possibilities for political transformation.\"--Page 4 of cover.

Thomas Merton, the Monk of Civil Rights
Thomas Merton has been the subject of a number of books in the years since his death. His spiritual autobiography, The Seven Storey Mountain, was a best-seller at the time of its publication, and continues to be purchased and read at a steady pace. In addition, books of his meditations, poems, reflections, essays, letters, and journals have also been produced. While Merton wrote extensively on racial justice, and while these writings have been collected in certain volumes, there are few (if any) books devoted to summarizing, analysing, and applying his ideas to current racial tensions in the United States. This book reviews some of his most important experiences and writings on race and social justice, and uses Merton as a model for easing present-day tensions.

Seen and unseen : technology, social media, and the fight for racial justice
\"A riveting exploration of how the power of visual media over the last few years has shifted the narrative on race and reignited the push towards justice by the New York Times bestselling author of the \"worthy and necessary\" (The New York Times) Nobody, Marc Lamont Hill, and the bestselling author and acclaimed journalist Todd Brewster. With his signature \"clear and courageous\" (Cornel West) voice Marc Lamont Hill and New York Times bestselling author Todd Brewster weave some of the most pivotal recent moments in the country's racial divide--the killings of George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery and the harassment of Christian Cooper--into their historical context. In doing so, they reveal the common thread between these harrowing incidents: video recordings and the immediacy of technology has irrevocably changed our conversations about race and in many instances tipped the levers of power in favor of the historically disadvantaged. Drawing on the powerful role of technology as a driver of history, identity, and racial consciousness, Seen and Unseen asks why, after so much video confirmation of police violence on people of color, it took the footage of George Floyd to trigger an overwhelming response of sympathy and outrage? In the vein of The New Jim Crow and Caste, Seen and Unseen incisively explores what connects our moment to the history of race in America but also what makes today different from the civil rights movements of the past and what it will ultimately take to push social justice forward\"-- Provided by publisher.

A Study of the Effectiveness of Popularized Perceptions of Religious Culture in the Context of Deep Learning on the Diffusion of Racial Justice Ideas
In the long historical evolution of humanity, religion has always demonstrated social, and cultural patterns and historical forms and has silently influenced some people’s ideological concepts and moral behaviors at all stages of development. This paper uses deep learning to investigate how the popularization of religious culture affects the dissemination of the concept of racial justice. The LBP-ORB algorithm model is constructed for the popularization method of religious culture, which is based on the improvement of the ORB algorithm, and the cognitive degree of different religious cultures can be improved by feature extraction through the LBP-ORB algorithm model. The model of this paper will be compared experimentally and then through fieldwork. The LBP-ORB algorithm model will be used to extract the features of local religious culture and popularize the local youths. Based on the analysis results, we explore the effect of the popularization of the cognition of religious culture on the spread of the concept of racial justice. After the popularization of religious culture, the college student group and middle school student group’s knowledge of the concept of racial justice increased substantially, with the number of people familiar with the college student group increasing by 88 and the number of people with general knowledge increasing by 122. The number of people in the middle school student population who were familiar with it reached 112, and the number of people with a general understanding reached 92. This paper’s LBPORB algorithm model has significantly increased the dissemination of the concept of racial justice after popularizing religious culture.

Justice at Work
A pathbreaking look at how progressive policy change for
economic justice has swept U.S. cities
In the 2010s cities and counties across the United States
witnessed long-overdue change as they engaged more than ever before
with questions of social, economic, and racial justice. After
decades of urban economic restructuring that intensified class
divides and institutional and systemic racism, dozens of local
governments countered the conventional wisdom that cities couldn't
address inequality-enacting progressive labor market policies, from
$15 minimum wages to paid sick leave.
Justice at Work examines the mutually reinforcing roles
of economic and racial justice organizing and policy
entrepreneurship in building power and support for policy changes.
Bridging urban social movement and urban politics studies, it
demonstrates how economic and racial justice coalitions are
collectively the critical institution underpinning progressive
change. It also shows that urban policy change is driven by \"urban
policy entrepreneurs\" who use public space and the intangible
resources of the city to open \"agenda windows\" for progressive
policy proposals incubated through national networks.
Through case studies of organizing and policy change efforts in
cities including Chicago, Seattle, and New Orleans around minimum
wages, targeted hiring, paid time off, fair scheduling, and
anti-austerity, Marc Doussard and Greg Schrock show that the
contemporary wave of successful progressive organizing efforts is
likely to endure. Yet they caution that success is dependent on
skillful organizing that builds and sustains power at the
grassroots-and skillful policy work inside City Hall. By promoting
justice at-and increasingly beyond-work, these movements hold the
potential to unlock a new model for inclusive economic development
in cities.
