The nexus between environmental racism and racial capitalism has been well documented. However, the government is often blamed for the perpetuation of some forms of environmental racism. Nonetheless, blaming the government for environmental racism without documenting some actions and policy implementation by the government to mitigate or prevent the re-occurrence of environmental racism tends to be a one-sided view. Consequently, this study examines how the American government plays some roles in the occurrence of environmental racism, that is, the Flint Water Crisis (FWC) in Michigan. Racial capitalism theory is used as a theoretical lens in this study. Racial capitalism, historical residential housing policies, anti-blackness or devaluation of Black bodies, the appointment of Emergency Financial Managers, environmental racism, neoliberalism, laissez-faire, and color-blind racism were the mechanisms driving the occurrence of the FWC. The different actions and policies that were taken by the American government to mitigate or prevent the re-emergence of FWC were also documented. Although, these actions were taken after the occurrence of the FWC. The materials-based method (secondary data) was not only adopted to provide answers to the research question that this study answered but was also used to explain the global dynamic and operation of racial capitalism.

环境种族主义与种族资本主义之间的关系已被充分记录在案。然而,某些形式的环境种族主义的长期存在往往归咎于政府。然而,将环境种族主义归咎于政府,而不记录政府为减轻或防止环境种族主义再次发生而采取的一些行动和实施的政策,往往是一种片面的观点。因此,本研究探讨了美国政府如何在环境种族主义(即密歇根州弗林特水危机)的发生中扮演某些角色。种族资本主义理论被用作本研究的理论视角。种族资本主义、历史上的居民住房政策、反黑人或贬低黑人身体、任命紧急财务管理人员、环境种族主义、新自由主义、自由放任和色盲种族主义是弗林特水危机发生的驱动机制。此外,还记录了美国政府为减轻或防止《粮食危机公约》再次出现而采取的不同行动和政策。不过,这些行动都是在妇女和儿童战争发生后采取的。以材料为基础的方法(二手数据)不仅为本研究回答的研究问题提供了答案,还用于解释种族资本主义的全球动态和运作。

This conceptual paper delves into the intricate landscape of restorative justice within African American communities. In addition to addressing immediate conflicts, the paper sheds light on the broader context of historical and systemic injustices that have significantly impacted African Americans and their communities. By examining various restorative justice modalities, the paper seeks to clarify their effectiveness in promoting accountability, driving social transformation, reshaping power dynamics, and advancing equity and justice within the African American community. Through this inquiry, the paper contributes to a deeper understanding of how restorative justice practices can effectively confront longstanding grievances and facilitate comprehensive community healing and empowerment.

这篇概念性论文深入探讨了非裔美国人社区内恢复性司法的复杂情况。除了解决眼前的冲突,本文还揭示了对非裔美国人及其社区产生重大影响的历史性和系统性不公正的大背景。通过研究各种恢复性司法模式,本文试图阐明这些模式在促进问责、推动社会转型、重塑权力动态以及促进非裔美国人社区的公平与正义方面的有效性。通过这种探究,本文有助于更深入地理解恢复性司法实践如何能够有效地解决长期存在的不满,并促进全面的社区愈合和赋权。

The goal of this work was to examine the relationship between vicarious exposures to major discrimination through the adverse experiences of spouses and mental health among middle-aged and older Black adults. The present study used data from the Nashville Stress and Health Study to investigate the relationship between spousal discrimination and depressive and anxiety symptoms among a subsample of Black adults aged 50 years and older (n = 219). Findings revealed that vicarious exposures to major discrimination through spouses’ experiences were linked with increased levels of symptoms of both depression and anxiety, even after accounting for exposure to additional psychosocial stressors. Our findings suggest that vicarious, in addition to personal, exposures to discrimination over the life span shape the well-being and mental health of Black adults. This work provides novel insights for health equity research and extends the body of work on racism as a social determinant of health.

这项工作的目的是研究中老年黑人因配偶的不良经历而间接遭受重大歧视与心理健康之间的关系。本研究利用纳什维尔压力与健康研究(Nashville Stress and Health Study)的数据,调查了 50 岁及以上黑人成年人(n = 219)中配偶歧视与抑郁和焦虑症状之间的关系。研究结果表明,即使考虑了其他社会心理压力因素的影响,通过配偶的经历而代入的重大歧视也与抑郁和焦虑症状的增加有关。我们的研究结果表明,在黑人成年人的一生中,除了个人遭受的歧视之外,替代性歧视也会影响他们的幸福和心理健康。这项研究为健康公平研究提供了新的见解,并扩展了种族主义作为健康社会决定因素的研究范围。

Our Founders’ Fears: The Roots of the Criminalization of African Americans 我们创始人的恐惧非裔美国人被定罪的根源
IF 0.5 Q3 ETHNIC STUDIES Pub Date : 2024-06-27 DOI: 10.1007/s12111-024-09656-7

The origin of the criminalization of African Americans is often considered to be the period after the Civil War with the passage of a series of repressive laws called the Black Codes. However, I argue that the progenitor of this criminalization originated over 80 years earlier during the Founding Era, particularly following the British royal governor of Virginia’s proclamation in 1775 that promised to free all enslaved people who fought on the side of the British. The Founders feared any actions from the Black population to obtain their freedom and equal rights. Therefore, the Founders criminalized all aspects of their lives which was discussed at federal and state constitutional conventions, codified in the United States Constitution and confirmed at the First Congress of the United States. This was the catalyst for the laws and policies that negatively influence the present-day criminal justice system that disproportionately impacts African Americans.

非裔美国人被定罪的起源通常被认为是在南北战争之后,当时通过了一系列被称为 "黑法典 "的镇压性法律。然而,我认为这种刑事犯罪化的起源要早于80多年前的建国时代,特别是在英国弗吉尼亚州皇家总督于1775年发布公告,承诺释放所有为英军作战的被奴役者之后。建国者害怕黑人为获得自由和平等权利而采取任何行动。因此,开国者们将黑人生活的方方面面都定为犯罪,并在联邦和各州的制宪会议上进行了讨论,将其编入《美国宪法》,并在美国第一届国会上得到确认。这些法律和政策对当今的刑事司法系统产生了负面影响,对非裔美国人造成了极大的冲击。

“The Jim Crow Army Must Have a Scapegoat”: Justice, Cowardice, and the Court Martial of Lieutenant Leon Gilbert (Korea, 1950) "吉姆-克罗军队必须有个替罪羊":正义、懦弱与莱昂-吉尔伯特中尉的军事法庭(朝鲜,1950 年)

The story of Lieutenant Leon Gilbert—a Black United States Army officer court-martialed during the Korean War—challenged the United States’ self-declared postwar mission to free oppressed peoples across the world, while continuing to subjugate African Americans at home. Although many critics judged Gilbert’s refusal to return to battle as an act of cowardice, others viewed him as a victim, and even a hero. The Gilbert case revealed that although African Americans were ostensibly making progress in the newly desegregated United States military, the fight for racial justice continued to be impeded by white Americans’ perceptions of Black inadequacy. Amidst a war purportedly being fought for principles of democracy and freedom, Gilbert’s court martial highlighted the connection between American racism and United States foreign policy, as Black military personnel became scapegoats for their nation’s military failures. The prosecution and persecution of Gilbert thus exposed the tension between American rhetoric and American racism.

莱昂-吉尔伯特(Leon Gilbert)中尉--一名在朝鲜战争中被送上军事法庭的美国黑人军官--的故事挑战了美国自称的战后使命,即解放全世界受压迫的人民,同时继续在国内奴役非裔美国人。尽管许多评论家认为吉尔伯特拒绝重返战场是懦夫行为,但也有人认为他是受害者,甚至是英雄。吉尔伯特一案表明,虽然非裔美国人表面上在刚刚取消种族隔离的美国军队中取得了进步,但争取种族公正的斗争仍然受到美国白人对黑人不足的看法的阻碍。在一场号称为民主和自由原则而战的战争中,吉尔伯特的军事法庭凸显了美国种族主义与美国外交政策之间的联系,因为黑人军人成了他们国家军事失败的替罪羊。因此,对吉尔伯特的起诉和迫害暴露了美国言论与美国种族主义之间的紧张关系。

Mindfulness training has shown to improve well-being in student populations. Yet, the benefits for Black students have not been adequately explored. This study investigated the effects of a brief mindfulness program on mood, mindfulness, cognition, and physiological indicators of stress in a small cohort of Black undergraduate women. Participants took part in a 4-week mindfulness-based stress reduction program (MBSR). Before and after the program, participants were assessed with the Kentucky Inventory of Mindfulness Skills, Profile of Mood States, Perceived Stress Scale, Corsi block tapping test, N-back task, and Stroop Color and Word test. Blood pressure, pulse wave velocity, augmentation index, salivary cortisol, and C-reactive protein were also measured. Significant improvements were observed in mindfulness skills, working memory, and cognitive processing. Reductions in tension-anxiety, fatigue, confusion, total overall mood disturbance, and arterial stiffness were also found. All other measures remained unchanged. This is the first study to demonstrate that MBSR training improves psychological, cognitive, and cardiovascular factors associated with stress in college-aged Black women. Limitations and directions for future research are also discussed.

正念训练已被证明可以改善学生群体的幸福感。然而,对黑人学生的益处还没有进行充分的探讨。本研究调查了一个简短的正念课程对一小批黑人女大学生的情绪、正念、认知和压力生理指标的影响。参与者参加了为期 4 周的正念减压计划(MBSR)。在课程前后,参与者接受了肯塔基正念技能量表、情绪状态简介、感知压力量表、Corsi块敲击测试、N-back任务以及Stroop颜色和单词测试的评估。此外,还测量了血压、脉搏波速度、增强指数、唾液皮质醇和 C 反应蛋白。结果表明,正念技能、工作记忆和认知处理能力均有显著提高。紧张焦虑、疲劳、困惑、总体情绪障碍和动脉僵化也有所减轻。所有其他指标均保持不变。这是第一项证明 MBSR 训练能改善大学年龄黑人女性与压力相关的心理、认知和心血管因素的研究。本文还讨论了研究的局限性和未来研究的方向。

African Americans and other Black Students on predominantly white college campuses often face challenges in becoming fully integrated into these white-normed spaces. In the current cultural climate, policing and the Black community has received growing national attention. This has served to raise questions about how these types of relationships exist in college communities. The purpose of this exploratory study was to investigate the nature of the interactions between African American and other Black students with campus police in the northeastern United States. Using an exploratory qualitative design, one core concept of estrangement emerged along with three main categories on how estrangement operated in this higher educational context. The three main categories include cultural influences, racial oppression, and trauma. The results from the study suggest that African American and other Black students employ varying types of estrangement to avoid direct contact with campus police who are viewed as campus agents that function to perpetuate white supremacist norms on campus. The article concludes with a discussion and practical implications of these findings.

在白人占主导地位的大学校园里,非裔美国人和其他黑人学生在完全融入这些白人规范的空间时往往面临挑战。在当前的文化氛围中,治安和黑人社区日益受到全国的关注。这引发了人们对大学社区中这类关系如何存在的疑问。本探索性研究旨在调查美国东北部非裔美国人和其他黑人学生与校园警察之间互动的性质。通过探索性的定性设计,我们得出了 "疏远 "这一核心概念,以及 "疏远 "在高等教育环境中如何运作的三个主要类别。这三个主要类别包括文化影响、种族压迫和创伤。研究结果表明,非裔美国人和其他黑人学生采用了不同类型的疏远方式,以避免与校警直接接触,因为校警被视为校园代理人,其职能是在校园中延续白人至上主义规范。文章最后讨论了这些研究结果的实际意义。

“Waging a Battle for First Class Citizenship”: Black Women, Beauty Advertisements, and the Horror of Inequity "为一等公民权而战":黑人女性、美容广告和不公平的恐怖

Set in 1950s Chicago, episode 5 of horror and sci-fi series, Lovecraft Country, followed Ruby Baptiste, a full-figured and dark skinned Black woman. Because of her race, Ruby was unable to get a job. However, after she ingested a magic potion that painfully transformed her into a thin White woman, the hiring manager of an upscale department store offered White woman Ruby a supervisory role. Passing as a White woman allowed Ruby to experience life free from the limitations of segregation and discrimination. Ruby’s experiences led the researchers of this work to wonder: could this episode be a dramatization of Black women’s real experiences in 1950s Chicago? Analyzing beauty advertisements in the Chicago Defender, we noticed that many beauty products advertised to Black women, focused on the equality and social mobility that beauty could provide Black women. The findings of this research unpack how a new ethnic identity, cleanliness, and first-class citizenship were advertised to Black women under the guise of beauty.

恐怖科幻剧集《爱乐之城》第 5 集的故事发生在 20 世纪 50 年代的芝加哥,讲述了身材丰满、皮肤黝黑的黑人妇女鲁比-巴普蒂斯特的故事。由于种族原因,鲁比无法找到工作。然而,在她服用了一种神奇的药水,痛苦地变成了一个瘦弱的白种女人之后,一家高档百货公司的招聘经理给了白种女人鲁比一个主管的职位。假扮成白人女性让鲁比体验到了不受种族隔离和歧视限制的生活。鲁比的经历让这部作品的研究者们不禁要问:这个情节会不会是 20 世纪 50 年代芝加哥黑人女性真实经历的戏剧化?通过分析《芝加哥卫报》上的美容广告,我们注意到许多针对黑人女性的美容产品广告都侧重于美容能为黑人女性带来的平等和社会流动性。本研究的发现揭示了新的种族身份、清洁和一等公民身份是如何打着美容的幌子向黑人女性宣传的。

The United States Supreme Court ruled School Corporal Punishment (SCP) constitutional, legalizing the practice in 19 states. Annually, approximately 163,333 students are subject to this practice, and 57,000 incidents involve African American students. Moreover, the lack of Federal advocacy and public knowledge of this social problem is more likely linked to SCP mainly practiced in southern states. Through the lens of Critical Race Theory, a content analysis of SCP documents from 1996 to 2018 was collected from school districts in seven prevalent SCP states using the following terms: SCP, Black students, and Black population. This policy report examines states’ SCP policies, identifies factors that influenced policies, and discusses the future of SCP. Findings suggest that SCP negatively impacted the academic achievement and future endeavors of African American students. One recommendation for a successful alternative of SCP strategies is the information involvement of relevant stakeholders and Government officials as several policies excluded members in the implementation process.

美国最高法院裁定学校体罚(SCP)符合宪法,使 19 个州的体罚做法合法化。每年约有 163,333 名学生受到体罚,其中 57,000 起涉及非裔美国学生。此外,联邦缺乏对这一社会问题的宣传和公众知识,这很可能与 SCP 主要在南部各州实施有关。通过 "批判种族理论 "的视角,我们使用以下术语对 1996 年至 2018 年的 SCP 文件进行了内容分析,这些文件来自 SCP 流行的七个州的学区:SCP、黑人学生和黑人人口。本政策报告研究了各州的 SCP 政策,确定了影响政策的因素,并讨论了 SCP 的未来。研究结果表明,SCP 对美国黑人学生的学业成绩和未来发展产生了负面影响。要成功地替代小学生保护战略,建议之一是让相关利益方和政府官员参与到信息中来,因为有几项政策在实施过程中排除了相关成员。

African American Heritage and Legacy: Implications on the Current Armed Forces 非裔美国人的传统和遗产:对当前武装部队的影响
IF 0.5 Q3 ETHNIC STUDIES Pub Date : 2024-02-28 DOI: 10.1007/s12111-023-09641-6

Abstract

America recently celebrated the 75th anniversary of the desegregation of the military, and while some might boast that the Black population within the military (around 17%) is more representative than the Black population in America (around 12%), there is still more that should be done to promote equity in armed service in the USA. Of course, such representation is positive, but it does not tell the whole story of how well Black service members are surviving and thriving. This paper will link manifestations of thriving and surviving over time to present-day recruiting shortfalls.

摘要 美国最近庆祝了军队取消种族隔离 75 周年,虽然有些人可能会夸耀军队中的黑人人口(约 17%)比美国黑人人口(约 12%)更具代表性,但在促进美国武装服务的公平性方面仍有许多工作要做。当然,这种代表性是积极的,但它并不能说明黑人军人的生存和发展状况。本文将把长期以来黑人服兵役者的生存和发展情况与当今征兵工作的不足之处联系起来。
