Soil And Soul: Fostering Cultural Healing Through Reconnection To The Land, Makeda Bullock Floyd
Soil And Soul: Fostering Cultural Healing Through Reconnection To The Land, Makeda Bullock Floyd
Pomona Senior Theses
Before the traumatic history of slavery, Black people had a sacred relationship with the land. Now Black farmers are beginning to heal the association of farming with slavery through finding healing in the land. From experiencing cathartic release in the sensation of pulling out weeds, to healing in the reciprocity of caring for one’s own health while caring for the land, to empowerment and community in knowing how to feed oneself in food deserts, Black people are experiencing healing on farms today. Through the development of four essays: Who Cared, Healing Land, Healing Reparations, and Homeland, I engage with this …
Jemimas, Jockeys, And Jolly Banks: The Racial Discourse Of Black Collectibles, Conrad Pruitt
Jemimas, Jockeys, And Jolly Banks: The Racial Discourse Of Black Collectibles, Conrad Pruitt
CGU Theses & Dissertations
Over the last thirty years, an industry in black racist memorabilia has resurged. Bolstered by online commerce, social media trade, and a robust reproduction market, racist collectibles continue to circulate despite their functional obsolescence or presumed incongruity with current views of race. Many of these objects originated in the late nineteenth century, where the emergence of black citizenship was seen as a threat to a racial caste structure that ensured white supremacy. Following the impetus for supremacy that defined the Jim Crow era, the collectibles sought to crystallize conceptions of inherent black inferiority. The presumption that these originary conditions and …
Let's Talk: An Analysis Of The Psychological And Emotional Impacts Of The Police Talk On Black Children, Kaila T. Glover Dodson
Let's Talk: An Analysis Of The Psychological And Emotional Impacts Of The Police Talk On Black Children, Kaila T. Glover Dodson
Scripps Senior Theses
The ‘Talk’ is a conversation (or series of conversations) that Black children receive from parents, grandparents, and other guardians and caretakers in their life. The conversation consists of informing them on behaviors to adopt as well as a script to recite should they encounter the police or any other agent of the law. Very little research has been done on the Talk yet alone the impact it has on Black children. Pulling from research on racial socialization, moral development, and the impact of racism on one’s well being, the purpose of this study is to explore how Black children are …
Inequalities In Covid-19 Mortality Rates: A Comparison Of Black Americans And Republican Americans, Julia Garbee
Inequalities In Covid-19 Mortality Rates: A Comparison Of Black Americans And Republican Americans, Julia Garbee
CMC Senior Theses
It is undeniable that the Covid-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the lives of the majority of Americans. The effects of the Covid-19 virus, however, are not equally distributed among the U.S. population. In particular, Black Americans and Republican Americans experienced disproportionate Covid-19 cases and deaths. This thesis explores the reasons why these two populations experienced unequal Covid-19 outcomes and determines where to place responsibility in each case. Using empirical evidence, I will first investigate the nature of the causes behind these disparities. Then I will highlight the similarities between the causes of unequal Covid-19 outcomes for Black Americans and for …
Exploring The Generational Evolution Of Black-White Wage Inequality Across Geographic Regions Of The United States, Rachel Scharff-Hansen
Exploring The Generational Evolution Of Black-White Wage Inequality Across Geographic Regions Of The United States, Rachel Scharff-Hansen
CMC Senior Theses
Wages of black men trail those of their white counterparts despite decades of generational socio-political change. This paper examines the extent to which the black-white wage gap has evolved from individuals born in the Baby Boomer (births between 1956 and 1964) to the Millennial (births between 1977 and 1995) generation, an era assumed to reflect great shifts in anti-racist sentiments and opportunities in the late 20th century. Despite presumed progressive attitudes developed in this time period, I find that the black-white wage differential of the labor market in its whole has worsened from black earnings lagging 28.1% behind white …
