Racism Without Racists Term Paper<\/p>\n
Students are required to write a 4-6 page, double-spaced paper discussing the below listed elements from\u00a0Racism Without Racists, and make connections to materials covered in this class. This is not a book review, nor is it a summary of the entire book. Rather, the requirement is for students to discuss and analyze the following topics found in various chapters of Eduard Bonilla-Silva’s\u00a0Racism Without Racists:<\/p>\n
-What is colorblind racism? What does Bonilla-Silva mean when he says racism without racists?\u00a0<\/p>\n
-What is the “new racism” since the 1960s?<\/p>\n
-What is cultural racism, and how does that differ from institutional racism?\u00a0<\/p>\n
-What tactics do people use to not sound “nasty,” but still be racist? To answer this, fully investigate chapter 4. Provide at least three tactics that people do this.<\/p>\n
-How much progress has been made in the US on race? What does Bonilla-Silva argue? Add in some detail from a historical event covered in class.<\/p>\n
-Fully investigate chapter 10. Summarize the racial tone, policies, and experiences in America from Obama to trump.<\/p>\n
-Lastly, what role do YOU play in the racial narrative? That is, in what ways can YOU change the dynamics? How can YOU change it? (Chapter 11)<\/p>\n
Technicalities:<\/p>\n
DUE WEEK 6: WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 23 AT 11:59 PM!<\/p>\n
Size 12 font, double spaced, standard margins, a\u00a0minimum\u00a0of 4 pages, but please write as much as you feel you need to answer the questions.<\/p>\n
The paper is a cohesive essay, with an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Some paragraphs and discussions will be longer than others and\/or will require more detail and writing than others. That is fine.<\/p>\n
The paper is NOT about whether you agree or disagree. I appreciate your opinion, but that is not the type of paper you are required to write. This is a critical reflection and analysis of the text.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Please make your paper strong by using some direct quotes, and\/or paraphrasing some of the material. This being said, however, please ensure that most of the paper is in your own words. If you use quotes from the book, three rules: 1. cite the material with quotes and end parenthesis and 2. limit direct quotes to 3-4 per page, 3. do not use more than 2 block quotes in your entire paper. For more info on how to properly cite, please visit:\u00a0MLA Citing Guide- Purdue University\u00a0Links to an external site.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Student submissions will automatically be checked by the Mt. SAC plagiarism system, Unicheck. Any submissions surpassing 19.0% in plagiarism scoring will automatically receive a zero. To avoid this, please just properly cite!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Important Notes:<\/p>\n
The book is available as a PDF under the “Modules” tab, and is labeled\u00a0Racism Without Racists PDF<\/p>\n
Although the answers to these questions are spread throughout the book, most of what I am asking students to investigate, understand, and write on are from chapters 1-4, and chapters 10 and 11. I say this to you so that you don’t feel overwhelmed with the assignment. You can find most of what you need in these chapters. Of course, I highly recommend students read the entire book, as it is of upmost importance for us, especially in the socio-political and cultural climate we have been in the last four years. However, you do not need to read the entire book to successfully answer the prompt questions.<\/p>\n
Some of the questions found above in the bullet points are simply restated in another way. Do not feel the need to cover it twice if you already covered a question. For example, I ask about cultural racism, but if you would like to cover that as one of the three tactics used, that’s fine, you don’t need to write on it twice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. I am here to help. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
