 Prelude to Prison: Student Perspectives on School Suspension by Marsha Weissman English | 2015 | ISBN: 0815633769, 0815635249 | 320 pages | PDF | 2 MB By the close of the twentieth century, the United States became known for its reliance on incarceration as the chief means of social control, particularly in poor communities of color. The carceral state has been extended into the public school system in these communities in what has become known as the "school-to-prison pipeline." Through interviews with young people suspended from school, Weissman examines the impact of zero tolerance and other harsh disciplinary approaches that have transformed schools into penal-like institutions. In their own words, students describe their lives, the challenges they face, and their efforts to overcome those challenges. Unlike other studies, this book illuminates the students' perspectives on what happens when the educational system excludes them from regular school. Weissman draws attention to research findings that suggest punitive disciplinary policies and practices resemble criminal justice strategies of arrest, trial, sentence, and imprisonment. She demonstrates how harsh school discipline prepares young people from poor communities of color for their place in the carceral state. An invaluable resource for policy makers, Prelude to Prison presents recommendations for policy, practice, and political change that have the potential to dismantle the school-to-prison pipeline.

 Daniel Brinks, "Power, Participation, and Private Regulatory Initiatives: Human Rights Under Supply Chain Capitalism " English | ISBN: 0812253213 | 2021 | 368 pages | EPUB | 5 MB From unsafe working conditions in garment manufacturing to the failure to consult indigenous communities with regard to extractive industries that affect them, human rights violations remain a pervasive aspect of the global economy. Advocates have long called upon states, as the primary duty bearers and enforcers of human rights, to hold corporations directly accountable for violations committed throughout the supply chain. More recently, many business and human rights advocates have considered the development and enforcement of private regulatory initiatives (PRIs) to certify that actors along the supply chain conform to certain codes of conduct. Many advocates see these PRIs as holding the potential to create better outcomes-whether for workers, affected communities, or the environment-within a global economy structured by supply chain capitalism.

 Plasticity of Crystals in a Microscopic Viewpoint on the Basis of Dislocation Motion By Yohichi Kohzuki (editor) 2012 | 188 Pages | ISBN: 1620814196 | PDF | 13 MB Here, plasticity of crystals in a microscopic viewpoint, especially on the basis of dislocation (linear defects in crystal) motion, is detailed from the data obtained mainly by the strain-rate cycling tests associated with ultrasonic oscillation for several kinds of alkali-halide single crystals at low temperatures.  Grada Kilomba, "Plantation Memories" English | 2008 | pages: 77 | ISBN: 389771485X | PDF | 45,8 mb In ›Plantation Memories‹, einer Sammlung von Kurzgeschichten in englischer Sprache, geht Grada Kilomba - eine in Lissabon geborene Schriftstellerin, Dozentin und Psychologin mit Wurzeln in São Tomé und Príncipe - Erinnerungsspuren an Sklaverei und Kolonialismus nach. Sie beschreibt den alltäglichen Rassismus als psychologische Realität, als gewaltsamen Schock, der Schwarze Menschen plötzlich in eine koloniale Situation stürzt und dabei aus ihrer Verbindung mit der Gesellschaft reißt. Völlig unerwartet trifft in dieser lyrischen Prosa Vergangenheit auf Gegenwart, und die Gegenwart wird erlebt, als wäre sie die furchtbare Vergangenheit, auf die der Titel des Buches verweist.

Phenomenology of Human Understanding By Brian Cronin 2017 | 300 Pages | ISBN: 1498292828 | PDF | 2 MB The problem of human knowing has been foundational for the enterprise of philosophy since the time of Descartes. The great philosophers have offered different accounts of the power and limits of human knowing but no generally acceptable system has emerged. Contemporary writers have almost given up on this most intractable issue. In this book, Brian Cronin suggests using the method of introspective description to identify the characteristics of the act of human understanding and knowing. Introspection--far from being private and unverifiable--can be public, communal, and verifiable. If we can describe our dreams and our feelings, then, we can describe our acts of understanding. Using concrete examples, one can identify the activities involved--namely, questioning, researching, getting an idea, expressing a concept, reflecting on the evidence and inferring a conclusion. Each of these activities can be described clearly and in great detail. If we perform these activities well, we can understand and know both truth and value. The text invites readers to verify each and every statement in their own experience of understanding. This is a detailed and verifiable account of human knowing: an extremely valuable contribution to philosophy and a solution to the foundational problem of knowing.
