  • Racial Justice Through Class Solidarity Within Communities of Color
    The Community-Building Project: Racial Justice Through Class Solidarity Within Communities of Color Joseph Erasto Jaramillot INTRODUCTION As people of color continue to face racial and socioeconomic subordination in this country, one wonders when, if ever, the "elusive quest for racial justice"' will end. Intellectuals dedicated to the pursuit of racial justice have focused their work on unmasking the operation of racism and white privilege and recognizing the perspectives of the oppressed. One central insight of this approach is the need to take race into account when analyzing the application of supposedly "race neutral" but so often racially discriminatory criteria. This strategy provides a theoretical basis for transforming society's view of racism and race relations. However, until the dominant culture becomes genuinely receptive to these ideas, communities of color will continue to suffer.2 Indeed, current political discourse adds fuel Copyright 0 1996 by Joseph Jaramillo. t Joseph Erasto Jaramillo received his J.D. from the University of California, Berkeley School of Law (Boalt Hall), and his B.A. from the University of California at Davis. He is currently a staff attorney at the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF) in San Francisco. He completed this Comment before he joined MALDEF. He would like to thank Professor Jerome McCristal Culp, Jr., of Duke University School of Law for his insight, former La Raza Law Journal Co- Editor-in-Chief Robert Salinas for his assistance and support, and Susana Martinez and Robby Mockler for their helpful editing and feedback. This Comment is dedicated to the committed gente of La Raza Law Students Association at Boalt Hall and all other schools, who give true meaning to the word "community." 1.

    ETHNIC STUDIES 200A: A Genealogy of Critical Racial and Ethnic Studies Professor: Kirstie A. Dorr, [email protected] Office Location: Department of Ethnic Studies, SSB 232 Office Hours: Mondays 4-5pm and Wednesdays by appointment Course Description This course offers a cross-disciplinary survey of salient analytical approaches to the study of race and ethnicity. We will begin by engaging some foundational debates and themes that have framed the development of the field of Ethnic Studies since its incarnation in the late 1960s. Here, we will pay particular attention to how Ethnic Studies scholars have incorporated, extended, critiqued and challenged dominant modes of theoretical, methodological and disciplinary inquiry, thus generating new perspectives on the study of race and ethnicity. We will then turn to recent critical departures within the field, exploring how postmodern destabilizations of categorical binaries and boundaries have opened the field to new modes and forms of knowledge production. We will conclu de with a discussion of emergent approaches and trajectories in Ethnic Studies, asking how the ethnic studies project might engender new political-intellectual positions that respond to ever-shifting global couplings of power and difference.

The course begins with an exploration of the way cities are used to imagine and advance utopian visions. What is justice and what does it mean in the specifically urban context? It then explores ways in which housing and community economic development policy relate to current discussions of economic and racial inequality and neighborhood change. The second section of the course situates housing and community development policy within their historical, political, and institutional contexts. What is the relationship between federal policy and private, non-profit or social movement activism? What are the implications of the historical trajectory of federal, state, and local urban policies for poverty, economic inequality, and racial disparities in access to opportunity? The third section of the course provides an introduction to housing policy in the United States, particularly policies designed to produce affordable housing.

It describes encounters between Planners for Equal Opportunity and American Institute of Planners (AIP) relating to the need for planners to help protect the disadvantaged and to counter racial or economic oppression in professional practice. It suggests that the years from 1959, when AIP issued a slight revision of its code of professional conduct, to 1974, when it developed a proposal for dispersed advocacy planning, were the setting for major changes in understanding about the need for social justice in planning practice. Keywords race relations, social issues, ethics, professionalism, Paul Davidoff, segregation, urban renewal, planning eras/approaches, poverty, advocacy planning The purpose of this article is to explore ways in which events of a particular era contributed to the evolution of planning thought in the mid-twentieth century, particularly in terms of concepts related to social responsibility in professional practice as promoted by the American Institute of Planners (AIP). The focus is on the years from 1959, when AIP issued a slight revision of its code of professional conduct, to 1974, when it developed a decentralized program for advocacy planning, and by which time it had revised its professional code to include language about the planner’s special responsibility to plan for the disadvantaged.

Out of that meeting came the impetus for starting Planners for Equal Opportunity. It was officially launched on August 17, 1964, at the AIP (American Institute of Planners) convention at the Military Park Hotel in Newark. A 16 member Policy Committee was established, dues were set at $5, and away we went! ORGANIZING AND ACTION, 1965 page 3 PEO's proposed 1965 budget was $2, 450; anticipated deficit: $800. " Addressograph plates for our 100+ membership were completed in April. A proposed constitution was submitted for approval to the Policy Committee.

  • Is Race a Biological Subdivision of Human Beings Or Is It Merely An
    “Introduction: Race and the Emergence of U.S. Cinema” By Daniel Bernardi From: The Birth of Whiteness: Race and the Emergence of U.S. Cinema pp. 1-11. Is race a biological subdivision of human beings or is it merely an illusion? If it is a biological subdivision, what precisely is the defining criteria and what relevance does that criteria have for explaining culture or social life? If it is an illusion, what role does history play in its production and perpetuation? Any scholar, including film historians and critics, must in some way grapple with these questions when writing about race. If scholars assume that race is a natural taxonomy of Homo sapiens, a biological subdivision or subspecies, then their work is linked with a tradition of essentializing and discriminatory discourse that extends from eugenics and social Darwinism to studies of gene pool variances and the inheritance of intelligence quotients. While scientific approaches such as these purport to be objective, the identification and interpretation of biological or innate differences and their subsequent relevance to individual and social history is imminently – and ominously – subjective.2 Biological definitions of race all too often lead to a determinism that validates and promotes sociopolitical hierarchies. As Henry Louis Gates, Jr., remarks, “Race, in these (scientific) usages, pretends to be an objective term of classification, when in fact it is a dangerous trope.”3 This is not to suggest that there are no useful reasons for dividing humans into categories, but that the criteria for justifying those categories and their relevance for explaining social formation or cultural expression is more a product of knowledge and ideology than it is of “nature.” If scholars assume that race is merely an illusion or a fiction, then their work risks negating identity and social history.
