"Politicians, scholars, and pundits often disagree about whether race has been injected into a political campaign or policy debate. Some have suspected that race sometimes enters into politics even when political elites avoid using racial cues or racially coded language. Anger and Racial Politics provides a theoretical framework for understanding the emotional conditions under which this effect might happen. Antoine J. Banks asserts that making whites angry - no matter the basis for their anger - will make ideas about race more salient to them. He argues that anger, and not fear or other negative emotions, provides the foundation upon which contemporary white racial attitudes are structured. Drawing on a multi-method approach - lab and Internet survey experiments and nationally representative surveys - he demonstrates that anger plays an important role in enhancing the impact of race on whites' preferences for putting an end to affirmative action, repealing health care reform, hanging the confederate flag high, and voting for Tea Party-backed candidates"--

Aquest article, que entén l'educació de carrer com una metodologia sociocrítica que treballa perquè les persones que es troben en situació de risc social puguin accedir i participar als serveis culturals del seu entorn, té el propòsit de reflexionar sobre dos aspectes tan rellevants per a aquesta pràctica educativa com són el lloc on es desenvolupa (la ciutat, els carrers) i la seva metodologia per mitjà d'altres sabers com l'antropologia i la literatura urbana. D'aquesta manera, el concepte de «cultura urbana» estudiat pel professor Manuel Delgado (Barcelona, 1956) i la figura del flâneur atribuïda a la vida i obra del poeta francès Charles Baudelaire (París, 1821-1867) esdevenen, en aquesta ocasió, els marcs d'interpretació per tal de continuar construint un corpus teòric de la professió d'educador/a de carrer que mantingui el seu model educatiu en el sentit més ampli possible en comptes del de control social.

The ebook edition of this title is Open Access, thanks to Knowledge Unlatched funding, and freely available to read online. Online Anti-Rape Activism examines the nature, use and scope of online spaces for anti-rape activism. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with activists from around the world, survey data from participants in these spaces, and a content analysis of social media pages, weblogs and websites, this book explores the complexities, contradictions, possibilities and politics that underscore the ways these online spaces are engaged with, regulated and their potential to contribute to social change. In the wake of the #MeToo movement, this book offers a critical commentary on the limitations and potentials of online anti-rape campaigning. It provides a foundation for understanding the emergence of #MeToo and sheds light on the complex history associated with keeping rape on the public agenda and the enduring tension between the personal and the political within feminist activism. The interdisciplinary and international approach makes this book suitable for a broad audience, including academics, students and activists working in the fields of gender and women's studies, media studies, politics, sociology and criminology worldwide.

Abstract
The Covid-19 pandemic has brought unexpected changes in important aspects of young people's lives. The academic literature contains many studies on the risks and adverse effects, while any potential positive aspects have been side-lined. This paper examines quality of life and relationships among young people in emerging and young adulthood in order to identify the negatives and benefits of the pandemic. In this qualitative research a "letter to a friend" free-writing exercise was used as the data collection method on a total sample of 107 young people aged 18-34 years. Using reflective thematic analysis, the statements were then grouped into two themes: "Covid as a misfortune" and "Covid as a benefit".

Youth is defined as that segment of the pop which is between 15 & 24 yrs of age & which varies from 12-21% of the total/sum pop of a country, with a clear tendency to be larger in the developing countries of Latin America, Africa & Asia than in the industr'ized nations. Some general trends in the soc conditions of youth are explored in an effort to synthesize data from a variety of studies. Then the following specific subjects of youth sociol are taken up: (1) the S-cul variation of adolescence; (2) fam relations of adolescent youth; (3) peers & dating behavior; (4) youth movements, youth org's & youth centers; (5) youth & pol; (6) organized youth work & the role of internat'l org's; (7) aspects of adolescent consumer behavior; (8) leisure & leisure patterns of young workers; (9) aspects of behavior concerning symbolic culture; (10) types of adolescent soc'ization: `privileged' & `underprivileged' adolescence; (11) mass society & aspects of physical & mental health of youth.

International audience ; Ludwik Fleck is known mainly for his pioneering studies of science as a social activity. This text investigates a different aspect of Fleck's epistemological thought—his engagement with normative aspects of medicine and public health and their political underpinnings. In his sinuous professional trajectory, Fleck navigated between two distinct thought styles: fundamental microbiological research and practice-oriented investigations of infectious diseases. Fleck's awareness of tensions between these two approaches favored the genesis of his theoretical reflections. At the same time, his close observation of medical and epidemiological practices led him to the conclusion that collectively produced scientific facts are situated and fragile. Thought collectives, Fleck explained, can err or yield to external pressures, with potentially disastrous consequences. While Fleck the reflexive experimental scientist has been creatively translated into the science studies idiom, Fleck the reflexive practical microbiologist and public health expert still awaits inspired translation.

This volume explores capital mobility under globalization by studying some of its salient consequences in agriculture and food in North and South America. It probes the manner in which capital mobility alters the organization of the temporal and spatial dimensions that characterize the reproduction of capital. This is an important aspect of globalization because it reproduces the tension between the constant attempt of agents of capitalism to expand their scope of action and accelerate the time of the reproduction of capital, and the fixed nature of the institutions and measures that are employed to regulate capitalism. The analysis of this contradictory aspect of globalization is presented in seven cases that, while global in scope and social implications, are located in North and South America. Areas examined include the organization of labor in the exportation of grapes, fruit producing regions of Argentina and Brazil, the changing character of small town Ontario, migration and farmers in Mexico, and North Atlantic salmon. These original pieces of empirical research are contextualized by the introduction and common themes underscored in the concluding chapter.

The purposes of the research are: (1) to analyze the external factors influence which consist of governmental policy, social economics and culture, and related institute role aspect to internal factors of Small and Micro Business; (2) to analyze the external factors influence which consist of governmental policy, social economics and culture, and related institute role aspect to Small and Micro Business Performance ; and (3) to analyze the internal factors influence which consists of human resource, financial, technique production and operation, and market or marketing aspect to Small and Micro Business Performance. Research location in Makassar and Pare-Pare City. Total respondents are 300 which divided in two location with the same proportion; i.e. Makassar are 150 respondents; and Pare-Pare are 150 respondents. The Sample technique uses simple random sampling. The data analyzed by descriptive analysis and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Data processing performed by software AMOS 4.01, and SPSS for windows. The results indicate that : (1) external factors which consist of governmental policy, social economics and culture, and related institute role aspect have significantly and positive effect to internal factors of small and micro business with contribution equal to 0,980 (98%); (2) external factors which consist of governmental policy, social economics and culture, and related institute role aspect have significantly and positive effect to small and micro business performance with contribution equal to 0,254 (25,4%); and (3) Internal factors which consists of human resource, financial, technique production and operation, and market or marketing aspect have significantly and positive effect to small and micro business performance with contribution equal to 0,792 (79,2%)

The research on child poverty typically takes a deficiencies approach that focuses on material deficiencies, which are considered to have a profoundly negative impact on children's well-being. Countering this approach, our research is based on a lifeworld orientation and explores children's everyday life from their own perspective. Using a range of qualitative methods such as photovoice, focus group discussions, interviews, and participant observation, we gathered detailed information on the lives and well-being of children growing up in contexts of poverty. Our research provides insights into the complex and multi-layered issue of childhood poverty and suggests that support must take into account not only the negative aspects of poverty, but also those aspects that children consider positively. This begins with taking note of children's best use of public and private resources that are already available to them.

The theme of this work is represented by the truth's concept in the Bible. By means of the pages of the Sacred Scripture, God, Truth par excellence, conveys the truth on him and on his plan of salvation. The theme on the truth in the Bible has been debated starting from the age of Enlightenment. Even nowadays, people are trying to identify solutions to the sensitive issues of historical accuracy and truth. The following pages are aimed at presenting certain aspects on the theme represented by the truth in the Bible, as well as the solutions to find such truth. Following a series of general aspects, the indications in Dei Verbum, we focus on the example of truth as reflected in the Gospel. The work ends with conclusions and the presentation of the way to identify the truth God wants to convey to us.

In Chronos, a leading French historian ranges from Western antiquity to the Anthropocene, pinpointing the crucial turning points in our relationship to time. François Hartog considers the genealogy of Western temporalities, examining the order of times and the divisions of time into epochs.

"Despite notable contributions in eyewitness identification and jury selection, most legal research done by psychologists has had a minimal impact upon law and public policy in the United States. In fact, much psycholegal research is marred by systemic flaws. In this carefully-reasoned and compelling text, the authors explain how psychologists have failed to understand the law and the context in which it operates. Even subtle misunderstandings about the nature of courtroom testimony or the application of different legal statutes across different jurisdictions, they argue, can produce research that fails to examine real world phenomena. To combat this, the authors present a roadmap for how criminal justice and forensic researchers can use research to describe, explain, predict, and provide solutions for legal situations that can have a real impact on judges, juries, and the legal profession at large. Throughout, they demonstrate a dedication to the craft of scientific research that is sure to inspire a new and improved psychology of law for the twenty-first century"--Publicity materials.
