Ergebnis für "Recht" in Rassismus & Diskriminierung

Acht Monate lang tauchte Tobias Ginsburg inkognito in die Szene der "Reichsbürger" und rechten Verschwörungstheoretiker ein. Er baute sich eine Scheinidentität im Netz auf und bewegte sich unter AfD-Politikern, gewaltbereiten Neonazis und friedensbewegten Esoterikern in Braun, Sektierern und Systemumstürzlern. Sein Buch ist ein ebenso erschütternder wie komischer Streifzug durch eine Welt böser Verführer und verführter Irregeleiteter, das zugleich einen neuen, literarischen Ton in die investigative Reportage einführt.

Ihre Geschichte sorgte international für Erschütterung: Am 9. Oktober 2012 wird die junge Pakistanerin Malala Yousafzai auf ihrem Schulweg von Taliban-Kämpfern überfallen und brutal niedergeschossen. Die Fünfzehnjährige hatte sich den Taliban widersetzt, die Mädchen verbieten, zur Schule zu gehen. Obendrein führte sie für die BBC ein vielbeachtetes Blog über ihren Alltag unter den Islamisten. Damit war ihr Todesurteil gefällt. Die Kugel traf Malala aus nächster Nähe in den Kopf; doch wie durch ein Wunder kam das mutige Mädchen mit dem Leben davon. Schon kurz danach hat sie erklärt, dass dieser Anschlag sie nicht davon abhalten wird, auch weiterhin für die Rechte von Kindern, insbesondere Mädchen, einzutreten. Dies ist ihre Geschichte.

"Hoffentlich holt der nicht mehr lange Luft." Oder: "Gleich in die Fresse schlagen." Beleidigungen, offener Hass und Gewaltandrohungen dieser Art gehören zum Alltag von Jakob Springfeld. Der 18-Jährige ist einer der wenigen jungen Leute in Sachsen, die sich politisch für das linke Lager engagieren. Der junge Autor kämpft gegen Rechts, gegen Hass und auch gegen seine Angst. Aufgeben kommt für ihn nicht in Frage. Er berichtet von seinen Versuchen, das andere Gesicht Sachsens sichtbar zu machen: Es steht für Toleranz, Antirassismus und Demokratie.

The courthouse is an important part of every story of mass incarceration in America and, too often, it is a place of powerlessness for those facing criminal charges, their families, and their communities. But the courthouse can also be an important site of resistance, a place where Americans affected by incarceration can become agents of change—even though they are not lawyers or judges.

The intrigue began with a triple homicide in a luxury apartment building just steps from the Champs-Elyseés, in March 1887. A high-class prostitute and two others, one of them a child, had been stabbed to death. Aaron Freundschuh's account of the "Pranzini Affair" recreates not just the intricacies of the investigation and the raucous courtroom trial, but also the jockeying for status among rival players who all stood to gain professional advantage and prestige.

Helicopters thwopped low over the city, filming blocks of burning cars and buildings, mobs breaking into storefronts, and the vicious beating of truck driver Reginald Denny. For a week in April 1992, Los Angeles transformed into a cityscape of rage, purportedly due to the exoneration of four policemen who had beaten Rodney King. It should be no surprise that such intense anger erupted from something deeper than a single incident. In The Contested Murder of Latasha Harlins, Brenda Stevenson tells the dramatic story of an earlier trial, a turning point on the road to the 1992 riot.

In Get Off My Neck, Debbie Hines draws on her unique perspective as a trial lawyer, former Baltimore prosecutor, and assistant attorney general for the State of Maryland to argue that US prosecutors, as the most powerful players in the criminal justice system, systematically target and criminalize Black people. Hines describes her disillusionment as a young Black woman who initially entered the profession with the goal of helping victims of crimes, only to discover herself aiding and abetting a system that prizes plea bargaining, speedy conviction, and excessive punishment above all else.

Using his unique lens as a critical race theorist and law professor, Khaled A. Beydoun captures the many ways in which law, policy, and official state rhetoric have fueled the frightening resurgence of Islamophobia in the US.

Before the Civil War, colonization schemes and black laws threatened to deport former slaves born in the United States. Birthright Citizens recovers the story of how African American activists remade national belonging through battles in legislatures, conventions, and courthouses.

From the start, the War on Drugs targeted Black, Brown, and Indigenous Americans already disadvantaged by a system stacked against them. Even now, as white Americans who largely escaped the fire capitalize on the legalization movement and a booming cannabis industry, their less fortunate peers continue to suffer the consequences of the systemic racism in policing and failed drug policy that fueled the original crisis. In Waiting to Inhale, Akwasi Owusu-Bempah and Tahira Rehmatullah issue a powerful call for a racial reckoning and provide a roadmap to redress this deep and abiding injustice.

One promise of democracy is the right of every citizen to vote. And yet, from our founding, strong political forces were determined to limit that right. The Supreme Court, Alexander Hamilton wrote, would protect the weak against this very sort of tyranny. Still, as On Account of Race forcefully demonstrates, through the better part of American history the Court has instead been a protector of white rule. And complex threats against the right to vote persist even today.

Why are Muslim men portrayed as inherently violent? Does the veil violate women's rights? Is Islam stopping Muslims from integrating? Across western societies, Muslims are more misunderstood than any other minority. But what does it mean to believe in Islam today, to have forged your beliefs and identity in the shadow of 9/11 and the War on Terror? Exploding stereotypes from both inside and outside the faith, The Muslim Problem shows that while we may think we know all about Islam we are often wrong about even the most basic facts.

In February 1971, racial tension surrounding school desegregation in Wilmington, North Carolina, culminated in four days of violence and skirmishes between white vigilantes and black residents. The turmoil resulted in two deaths, six injuries, more than $500,000 in damage, and the firebombing of a white-owned store before the National Guard restored uneasy peace. Despite glaring irregularities in the subsequent trial, 10 young persons were convicted of arson and conspiracy and then sentenced to a total of 282 years in prison.

When Americans think of freedom, they often picture the open road. Yet nowhere are we more likely to encounter the long arm of the law than in our cars. Sarah Seo reveals how the rise of the automobile led us to accept - and expect - pervasive police power. As Policing the Open Road makes clear, this radical transformation in the nature and meaning of American freedom has had far-reaching political and legal consequences.

A provocative examination of race, gun laws, and violence that exposes how the state of Florida bungled the Trayvon Martin case through new interviews and revelations about the trial. Suspicion Nation expertly captures the state of a country conflicted not only about the Trayvon Martin injustice but divided over issues of race, violence, and gun legislation.

It is true that some people are very damaged. It is not true that they are all unsalvageable. The Lifer and the Lawyer raises questions about childhood trauma, religion, race, the purpose of punishment, and a criminal justice system that requires harmless old men to die in prison.

When Clarence Thomas joined the Supreme Court in 1991, he found with dismay that it was interpreting a very different Constitution from the one the framers had written - the one that had established a federal government manned by the people's own elected representatives, charged with protecting citizens' inborn rights while leaving them free to work out their individual happiness themselves, in their families, communities, and states.

As we turn on our television to hear what’s going on in our world, we see a video of yet another horrible display of police brutality from police departments all over the United States, taking someone’s life, which in most cases, could have been prevented.

Es ist ein weitreichendes Urteil in einem tragischen Fall: Eine 14-Jährige stirbt, die Eltern quält die Frage nach dem Warum. Im Facebook-Profil ihrer Tochter hoffen sie auf eine Antwort. Doch lesen, was das Mädchen dort geschrieben hat, dürfen sie nicht. Ein Gericht verweigert ihnen den Zugang, um die Privatsphäre derer zu schützen, mit denen die 14-Jährige Kontakt hatte. Mit dem Urteil verbunden sind grundsätzliche Fragen: Wenn ein Mensch stirbt - wer kümmert sich um seinen digitalen Nachlass? Müssen Erben Chatverläufe oder E-Mails anders behandeln als Briefe?
