Ergebnis für "Leben" in Rassismus & Diskriminierung

Offen, kraftvoll und berührend berichtet Alex Mariah Peter von Kindheit und Einsamkeit, Herkunft und Identität, von Schönheit und Schmerz, Übergriffigkeit, Verlust und einem medialen Rampenlicht, das nicht immer wärmt. In einer Welt, die ständig definiert, wer man sein darf, wagt sie den mutigsten Schritt: ihre Geschichte selbst zu erzählen, um als ganze Person gesehen zu werden – nicht trotz, sondern wegen allem, was dazugehört.

Sie erzählt von ihrer Großmutter Klasina, die aus den Niederlanden nach Deutschland kam und Damenringkämpferin in der Großen Freiheit in Hamburg wurde. Und von ihrer Mutter Barbara, die aus dem Kinderheim vor den gewalttätigen Aufseherinnen zu Klasina auf den Kiez flüchtete und in den 70er-Jahren begann, als Barfrau im Hotel Luxor zu arbeiten.

Ohne Kippa geht Levi Ufferfilge nicht aus dem Haus. Tagtäglich bestreitet er mit dem kleinen Stück Stoff auf dem Kopf seinen Alltag. Doch das Sichtbarsein als Jude bleibt nicht ohne Folgen: Antisemitische Anfeindungen, Beleidigungen und kuriose Begegnungen aller Art. Eine erhellende wie schockierende Erzählung über das Jüdischsein in Deutschland heute.

You cannot discover lands already inhabited. Injustice has plagued American society for centuries. And we cannot move toward being a more just nation without understanding the root causes that have shaped our culture and institutions. In this prophetic blend of history, theology, and cultural commentary, Mark Charles and Soong-Chan Rah reveal the far-reaching, damaging effects of the "Doctrine of Discovery."

Antisemitism, an American Tradition investigates the depths of this fraught history and its recent manifestations. At a time when prejudice, discrimination, and hate against Jews is flaring across the country, Antisemitism, an American Tradition argues that we must understand the past. This momentous work reveals how antisemitism—and resistance to that hatred—endures, representing not a rupture from America's history, but a centuries-old legacy.

In The Serpent's Empire: Unmasking the Demonic Power Behind Racial Hatred, Dr. Michael J. Henderson delivers a fearless and prophetic exposé on the spiritual and systemic roots of racism in America. This is not just a book—it is a spiritual weapon, cutting through centuries of lies upheld by whiteness, weaponized Christianity, and silent complicity.

Why has Christianity, a religion premised upon neighborly love, failed in its attempts to heal social divisions? In this ambitious and wide-ranging work, Willie James Jennings delves deep into the late medieval soil in which the modern Christian imagination grew, to reveal how Christianity's highly refined process of socialization has inadvertently created and maintained segregated societies.

Recent years have seen a growing recognition of the role that White Christian Nationalism plays in American society. As White Christian Nationalism has become a major force, and as racial and religious attitudes become increasingly aligned among whites-for example, the more likely you are to say that the decline of white people as a share of the population is "bad for society," the more likely you are to believe the government should support religious values-it has become reasonable to wonder which of the adjectives in the phrase "White Christian Nationalism" takes precedence.

Many people wonder how white Christians could not only support Donald Trump for president but also rush to defend an accused child molester running for the US Senate. In a 2017 online essay that went viral, Miguel A. De La Torre boldly proclaimed the death of Christianity at the hands of white evangelical nationalists. He continues sounding the death knell in this book.

As a Black autistic pastor and disability scholar, Lamar Hardwick lives at the intersection of disability, race, and religion. Tied to this reality, he heeded the call to write How Ableism Fuels Racism to help Christian communities engage in critical conversations about race by addressing issues of ableism. Hardwick believes that ableism—the idea that certain bodies are better than others—and the disability discrimination fueled by this perspective are the root causes of racial bias and injustice in American culture and in the church.

Many Whites in America are puzzled by the phrase “Black Lives Matter”. Some are offended and think Black people suddenly think they are better than Whites. Nothing could be further from the truth. This book is an attempt to provide a glimpse into the reason that phrase came into being.

Like the ancient Israelites, the African American community has survived a 400-year collective trauma. What will it take for them to reach the promised land that King foresaw - to be truly free at last? In this classic historical and cultural study, Carl Ellis offers an in-depth assessment of the state of African American freedom and dignity. Stressing how important it is for African Americans to reflect on their roots, he traces the growth of Black consciousness from the days of slavery to the 1990s, noting especially the contributions of King and Malcolm X.

The proclaimed hope of America rings most hollow for Native peoples, people of color, the rural poor, and other communities pressed to the margins. Author Jonathan Walton exposes the cultural myths and misconceptions about America's identity. Focusing on its manipulation of Scripture and the person of Jesus, he redirects us to the true promises found in the gospel. Walton identifies how American ideology and way of life has become a false religion and reveals that orienting our lives around American nationalism is idolatry.

Chanequa Walker-Barnes offers a compelling argument that the Christian racial reconciliation movement is incapable of responding to modern-day racism. She demonstrates how reconciliation’s roots in the evangelical, male-centered Promise Keepers’ movement has resulted in a patriarchal and largely symbolic effort focused upon improving relationships between men from various racial-ethnic groups.

As the cultural conversation around race, gender, and sexuality has evolved, straight white men are becoming increasingly aware of their privilege. But many may be left thinking, "OK, what am I supposed to do about it?" "We need a way forward beyond feelings of guilt, overwhelmingness, anger, and denial." Straight white male pastor Chris Furr offers a guide to deconstructing that privilege in Straight White Male. With an emphasis on confession and redemption, Furr invites other privileged men to reconsider the ways they live, work, believe, and interact with others.

The United States is recognized as the most religiously diverse country in the world, and yet its laws and customs, which many have come to see as normal features of American life, actually keep the constitutional ideal of “religious freedom for all” from becoming a reality. Christian beliefs, norms, and practices infuse our society; they are embedded in our institutions, creating the structures and expectations that define the idea of “Americanness.”

Here is living proof that White and Black Christians can live together. When Spencer Perkins was 16 years old, he visited his bloodied and swollen father (Pastor John Perkins) in jail. Police had beaten the Black activist severely, and Spencer never forgot the moment. He couldn't imagine living in community with a White person after that. But his plans were changed.

In a world marked by right-wing politics and discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community, I embarked on a quest for answers. Fueled by frustration and a desire for understanding, I turned to the power of artificial intelligence to engage in a conversation with Jesus.

Race is one of the hardest topics to discuss in America. Many White Christians avoid talking about it altogether. But a commitment to peacemaking requires White people to step out of their comfort and privilege and into the work of anti-racism. Dear White Peacemakers is an invitation to White Christians to come to the table and join this hard work and holy calling.
