Revisionismo histórico y racismo en la jurisprudencia constitucional : los límites de la libertad de expresión (a propósito de la STC 235/2007)

2007

Después de plantear la contradicción existente en la jurisprudenciaconstitucional que, por una parte, admite el revisionismo histórico conel límite del respeto a la dignidad y, por otra parte, reconoce con lamáxima amplitud la libertad ideológica, se analiza la STC 235/2007que ha declarado inconstitucional el delito de negación del genocidioy, en cambio, ha considerado constitucional la penalización de la justificacióndel genocidio. Esta sentencia ha clarificado parcialmente lasituación del revisionismo histórico y, en general, de la difusión de ideascontrarias a la Constitución pero sigue existiendo aquella contradicción;no obstante, ha aportado elementos como la distinción entreideas y ac…

The Carnism Inventory: Measuring the ideology of eating animals.

2016

Beliefs surrounding the practice of eating animals are widely held, and have been argued to constitute an ideology named carnism (Joy, 2009). We developed and validated the novel Carnism Inventory to measure two positively related components of carnistic beliefs: carnistic defense and carnistic domination. We anticipated that carnistic defense would legitimate the practice of eating animals, while carnistic domination would support the killing of animals for their meat. The Carnism Inventory showed the hypothesized two-dimensional structure as well as good internal consistencies and stability (N = 302, Study 1). We also demonstrated the convergent and discriminant validity of the Carnism In…

Economists and Eugenics: Progressive Era Racism and its (Jewish) Discontents

2017

This chapter analyzes the contribution to the debates on labor and immigration of a group of Jewish academicians and reformers who, during the second half of the Progressive Era, explicitly took a stance against the racialist and eugenic rhetoric of the period. This group includes first-rank economists like Edwin R. A. Seligman, Jacob H. Hollander, and Emanuel A. Goldenweiser; influential field specialists such as Isaac A. Hourwich and Isaac M. Rubinow; and relatively less known figures like Max J. Kohler and Samuel K. Joseph. By focusing on the voices of these dissenters, this chapter enriches the emerging picture of Progressive Era eugenic and racial thought.

Discrimination, work and health in immigrant populations in Spain

2009

One of the most important social phenomena in the global context is the flow of immigration from developing countries, motivated by economic and employment related issues. Discrimination can be approached as a health risk factor within the immigrant population's working environment, especially for those immigrants at greater risk from social exclusion and marginalisation. The aim of this study is to research perceptions of discrimination and the specific relationship between discrimination in the workplace and health among Spain's immigrant population. A qualitative study was performed by means of 84 interviews and 12 focus groups held with immigrant workers in five cities in Spain receivin…

Perceived Racial/Ethnic Discrimination and Psychological Outcomes Among Adult International Adoptees in Finland: Moderating Effects of Social Support…

2015

Quantitative literature on international adoptees and racial/ethnic discrimination is lacking despite results in qualitative studies from Europe and the United States that have consistently indicated how racism constantly complicates adoptees' everyday lives. To advance the literature, the present study examined the prevalence of perceived racial/ethnic discrimination among 213 adult international adoptees in Finland (59.6% women and 40.4% men, mean age 24.1 years), and the association between perceived racial/ethnic discrimination and psychological well-being indicators, including psychological distress and sleeping problems. In addition, we examined social support and sense of coherence a…

Bakalauradarbs „Rasisms un kriminālsVolteraMoslijadetektīvromānos „Velnszilākleitā”, „Sarkanānāve” un „Baltstauriņš”” analizēnosauktus romānus ar uzsvaru uz aprakstītas kriminālas situācijas un rasismu ASV kopumā un Kalifornijā.

Bakalaura darba mērķis ir atrast rasisma un segregācijas piemērus romānos; saprast, kā atrastie piemēri ilustrē rasisma, augstu ieslodzīto un apsūdzēto afroamerikāņu īpats…

Public Reason and the Limits of Liberal Anti-Racism in Latvia

2011

My paper is a critical analysis of anti-racist and tolerance promotion initiatives in Latvia. First, I trace the historical and geopolitical conditions that enable the emergence of two discursive positions that are central to arguments about racism - that of liberally inclined tolerance activists and that of Latvians with politically objectionable nationalist sensibilities. Subsequently, I argue that, plagued by developmentalist thinking, anti-racist and tolerance promotion initiatives fail in their analysis of contemporary racism. They posit backward attitudes as the main hindrance to the eradication of racism and displace racism as a constitutive feature of modern political forms onto ind…

Marie Baldwin, racism, and the society of American Indians

2020

The French/Ojibwa lawyer, activist, and Office of Indian Affairs employee, Marie Louise Bottineau Baldwin (1863–1952), often receives mention in scholarly works on the Society of American Indians (SAI). Very few, however, have examined her contributions in detail. Only one article focusing exclusively on Baldwin has ever been published. Cathleen D. Cahill’s flattering portrait depicts Baldwin as a devoted suffragette and leading SAI figure who, in her roles as cofounder and treasurer, promoted the cause of Indian rights and her own Ojibwa values concerning women’s equality. Cahill explains Baldwin’s sudden exit from the SAI as a result of attacks by male, anti-Indian Office “radicals” who c…
