Internal Colonization And The International System: Gender Stratification In The U. S. And Its Global Implications, Muhammed Asadi Jan 2011

Internal Colonization And The International System: Gender Stratification In The U. S. And Its Global Implications, Muhammed Asadi

Societies Without Borders

My purpose in this paper is to critically review various theoretical perspectives contained in the literature to come up with implications for a comprehensive model that captures the intersectionality of race, gender and class in the International System with special emphasis on gender. My theoretical model links the U.S. gender ‘project’ post World War II: the construction of the post war ‘nuclear family’ and the reinvention of women’s ‘sacred domestic sphere’ to the maintenance of gender oppression globally by the U.S. in a world dominated by it. The common ingredient in such oppression is the use of women as productive …


The Oromo In Exile: Creating Knowledge And Promoting Social Justice, Asafa Jalata Jan 2011

The Oromo In Exile: Creating Knowledge And Promoting Social Justice, Asafa Jalata

Societies Without Borders

This paper explains how some Oromos who were forced to leave their country, Oromia, by successive colonial Ethiopian governments and live in exile have been organized in foreign lands to liberate their people and country by supporting the Oromo national movement. By demonstrating how global and regional forces have collaborated in the colonization, continued subjugation and dehumanization of the Oromo people, the paper illustrates how the Oromo people have lost their cultural, political, and social rights that are enshrined in the UN Universal Declaration of human rights and the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and how they are still facing state …


Social Movement Unionism And Neoliberalism In São Paulo, Brazil: Shifting Logics Of Collective Action In Telemarketing Labor Unions, David Flores, Fábio P. M. Silva, Vitor C. Vaneti, Ray Braga, Ray Braga Jan 2011

Social Movement Unionism And Neoliberalism In São Paulo, Brazil: Shifting Logics Of Collective Action In Telemarketing Labor Unions, David Flores, Fábio P. M. Silva, Vitor C. Vaneti, Ray Braga, Ray Braga

Societies Without Borders

Neoliberal policies have radically altered the global economy. This is particularly evident in São Paulo, Brazil, which has undergone the rapid privatization of resources and services since the 1990s, as well as a major shift from an industrial to a service economy. How do new labor unions responding to a new service -based economy differ from those that have traditionally focused on an industrialized work force? How are labor unions in the global south meeting the challenge of unionizing under neoliberal policies? Finally, how do labor unions build solidarity for collective action among a new and demographically diverse working class? …

Feminist Social Justice Work: Moving Toward Solidarity, Katherine O'Donnell Jan 2011

Feminist Social Justice Work: Moving Toward Solidarity, Katherine O'Donnell

Societies Without Borders

This article analyzes grassroots, feminist, and Freirean community-organizing as platforms for community-based service-learning (CBSL) and human rights work. CBSL is conceptualized as alignment, a first step in the long haul of working with community members in a solidarity relationship to create social justice.


Human Rights Pedagogies In The Classroom: Social Justice, Us Indigenous Communities And Csl Projects, Sylvanna M. Falcón, Michelle M. Jacob Jan 2011

Human Rights Pedagogies In The Classroom: Social Justice, Us Indigenous Communities And Csl Projects, Sylvanna M. Falcón, Michelle M. Jacob

Societies Without Borders

Community service-learning (CSL) courses provide opportunities in which students engage in learning outside of the normative college classroom and are sites in which students can learn as a collective. In this article, we argue for a human rights pedagogy that considers how a critical engagement of CSL projects has fostered a bridging moment between academic and non-academic communities and offers new possibili- ties for building community. We analyze CSL projects with the American Indian Recruitment Programs - a grassroots, non-profit organization based in San Diego, California. We conclude our article with a human rights-based pedagogical model that is built upon …


The Deliberative School Approach To Human Rights, Demond Miller, Jason Rivera, Christopher Gonzalez Jan 2011

The Deliberative School Approach To Human Rights, Demond Miller, Jason Rivera, Christopher Gonzalez

Societies Without Borders

Over the past few decades, certain currents in higher education have been engaged in a paradigm shift that highlights the importance of civic engagement and experimental learning as means to a comprehensive, holistic education in the service of social change. In this article, we argue that community-based research, as a component of service-learning, constitutes a vehicle through which we can address the topic of human rights—in much the same way as W. E. B. DuBois recognized both universal human rights for all people and case-specific human rights for particular individuals (Elias 2009). To this end, we offer a brief discussion …


Notes From The Field: Implementing Human Rights Education In Service-Learning Courses, Lindsay Padilla Jan 2011

Notes From The Field: Implementing Human Rights Education In Service-Learning Courses, Lindsay Padilla

Societies Without Borders

In an attempt to understand the potential impact of Human Rights Education (HRE) at community colleges, this article calls for an open discussion of human rights and service-learning. I argue that framing my Social Problems course with a service- learning requirement from a human rights perspective offers students a formative educational experience that fosters respect for humanity and introduces the struggle for human rights at home and abroad. Working with vulnerable populations in the community, students can experience the ways in which local organizations and agencies promote human rights. In providing access to my teaching plan, I hope that other …


Understanding And Eliminating Discrimination Against Blacks, Douglas Parker Jan 2011

Understanding And Eliminating Discrimination Against Blacks, Douglas Parker

Societies Without Borders

This paper discusses the US history of discrimination against blacks which should be understood by students and others who are concerned with human rights and who want to participate in some form of civic engagement for the realization of these rights. The first part of this paper examines slavery, an extreme form of racial discrimination, and its repetition as involuntary servitude in earlier historical periods in the US. The second part of the paper examines recent and current severe, though not extreme, forms of racial discrimination such as residential segregation and the workfare and imprisonment imposed by the emerging US …


Military Neoliberalism: Endless War And Humanitarian Crisis In The Twenty-First Century, Michael Schwartz Jan 2011

Military Neoliberalism: Endless War And Humanitarian Crisis In The Twenty-First Century, Michael Schwartz

Societies Without Borders

This article seeks to understand the dynamics of twenty-first century military intervention by the United States and its allies. Based on an analysis of Bush and Obama administration policy documents, we note that these wars are new departures from previous interventions, calling on the military to undertake post-conflict reconstruction in ways that was previously left to indigenous government or to the civilian aspects of the occupation. This military-primary reconstruction is harnessed to ambitious neoliberal economics aimed at transforming the host country’s political economy. Utilizing the Iraq and Afghanistan interventions as case studies, the study analyzes the dynamics set in motion …
