For centuries, the Spanish and Spanish-speaking mestizo (mixed blood) elite oppressed the Mixtec People and their linguistic and cultural practices. These oppressive practices were experienced in Mixtec communities and surrounding urban areas, as well as in domestic and international migrant destinations. In the 1980s, a significant transition occurred in Mexico from indigenismo to a neoliberal multicultural framework. In this transition, discriminatory practices have become increasingly “symbolic,” referring to their assertion in everyday social practices rather than through overt force, obscuring both the perpetrator and the illegitimacy of resulting social hierarchies (Bourdieu, 1991).

It couldn't populate the planet in a million years, it comes along so rarely. -Wislawa Szymborskal If true love is for the lucky few, then for the rest of us there is the far more mundane institution of marriage. Traditionally, love has sat in an uneasy relationship to marriage, and only in the last century has romantic love emerged as the primary, if not exclusive, justification for a wedding in the United States.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE CONTENT AND SCOPE OF SUBSTANTIVE GAPS ON COMPLEMENTARY INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS WITH REGARD TO POSITIVE OBLIGATIONS OF STATES PARTIES Assessment and recommendations 1. The role of human rights education 29. The DDPA underlines the importance of human rights education as a key to changing attitudes and behaviour and to promoting tolerance and respect for diversity in societies1 and, therefore as crucial in the struggle against racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance.2 The importance of human rights education is also underlined in several other human rights documents. The Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action assert that “human rights education, training and public information are essential for the promotion and achievement of stable and harmonious relations among communities and for fostering mutual understanding, tolerance and peace.”3 The World Programme for Human Rights Education identifies the promotion of understanding, tolerance, gender equality and friendship among all nations, indigenous peoples and racial, national, ethnic, religious and linguistic groups as one of the constitutive elements of human rights education that aims at building a universal culture of human rights.4 The 2005 World Summit Outcome calls for the implementation of the World Programme for Human Rights Education and encourages all States to develop initiatives in this regard.5 30.

  • HISTORICAL and STRUCTURAL VIOLENCE to the BLACK COMMUNITY Jasmine Robinson (Dr
    University of Utah UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH JOURNAL THE BLACK PERSPECTIVE: HISTORICAL AND STRUCTURAL VIOLENCE TO THE BLACK COMMUNITY Jasmine Robinson (Dr. David Derezotes) Department of Peace and Conflict Studies ABSTRACT This paper explores evidence (past and present) of violence committed against African Americans in the United States and why The University of Utah should take concrete steps to decrease racism and make cultural changes. Addressed first is a brief summary of selected research on historical and structural violence against the Black community in the United States. The topics include slavery, Jim Crow laws, ethnic cleansing, the formation of ghettos, police brutality, mass incarceration, and the need to focus on intersectionality and Black Feminism. The paper then points to the racial problems facing the country and The University of Utah specifically. It also addresses the white centered counterarguments students at The University of Utah could bring up in opposition to focusing on the Black community, like the “All Lives Matter” movement, the idea of living in a post-racial America, the concept of disrespecting police, and the true seriousness around these issues. It also addresses why to view this need through a peace and conflict studies lens. The paper concludes with a sample syllabus of a proposed Praxis Lab centering on bringing awareness to the historical and structural violence African Americans face in this country and creating positive and effective change on the racial climate for Black people in our community. It can be concluded from the historical and structural violence committed against the African American community over centuries, that it is necessary to bring a Praxis Lab targeting the racism toward Black people to the Honors College in order to build bridges between African Americans and other races and ethnicities, and work toward positive and effective solutions and peace.

INTRODUCTION South Africa and the United States are separated geographically, ethnically, and culturally. On the surface, these two nations appear very different. Both na- tions are separated by nearly 9,000 miles1, South Africa is a new democracy, while the United States was established over two hundred years2 ago, the two nations have very different climates, and the United States is much larger both in population and geography.3 However, South Africa and the United States share similar origins and histories. Both nations have culturally and ethnically diverse populations. Both South Africa and the United States were founded by colonists, and both nations instituted slavery.4 In the twentieth century, both nations discriminated against non- white citizens.

When standards for those core subjects have been completed, the State Board must adopt academic standards in computer literacy for grades three through 12 and in both fine addition, the State Board is required to adopt a model curriculum in social studies for each grade level by June 30, 2004.
