Abstract

At a cafe; table in Lahore, a bearded Pakistani man converses with an uneasy American stranger. As dusk deepens to night, he begins the tale that has brought them to this fateful meeting . . . Changez is living an immigrant's dream of America. At the top of his class at Princeton, he is snapped up by the elite "valuation" firm of Underwood Samson. He thrives on the energy of New York, and his infatuation with elegant, beautiful Erica promises entry into Manhattan society at the same exalted level once occupied by his own family back in Lahore. But in the wake of September 11, Changez finds his position in his adopted city suddenly overturned, and his budding relationship with Erica eclipsed by the reawakened ghosts of her past. And Changez's own identity is in seismic shift as well, unearthing allegiances more fundamental than money, power, and maybe even love.

Abstract

Using experimental studies, this text offers fresh empirical evidence that the issue of race still pervades American consciousness and prevents blacks winning elections in white majority districts. The author explores election campaigns which, he says, appeal to whites' racial fears and sentiments.

Abstract

The word lynching is most likely American in origin, but the practice of lynching, defined by scholars as extralegal group assault and/or murder motivated by social control concerns, can be found in many global cultures and eras. This collection of essays looks at lynching and related varieties of collective violence, such as vigilantism and rioting, across world cultures. Analyzing lynching and collective violence in the Americas and Europe, the chapters highlight both the presence of mob violence in a number of cultures and eras and the particularity of its occurrence in certain cultural and historical contexts.

Abstract

La tendencia doctrinaria, que exalta la influencia de la raza hasta el punto de considerarla el eje de la historia -y da pábulo con ello, a las expreciones de racismo- no ha tenido comprobación cientifica. La ciencia, antes bien, la desmiente. No es posible distinguir en un estado de cultura lo que se debe a las condiciones étnicas y lo que corresponde a factores físicos y a los atributos sociales. Menospreciar a los hombres por el color de su pigmento o perseguirlos en nombre de una imaginaria inferioridad biológica, es cometer un crimen de lesahistoria y de lesahumanidad.

Abstract

Four cases in which the legal issue was "race" - that of a Chinese restaurant owner who was fined for employing a white woman; a black man who was refused service in a bar; a Jew who wanted to buy a cottage but was prevented by the property owners' association; and a Trinidadian of East Indian descent who was acceptable to the Canadian army but was rejected for immigration on grounds of "race" - drawn from the period between 1914 and 1955, are intimately examined to explore the role of the Supreme Court of Canada and the law in the racialization of Canadian society.
