2003: Race, Gender & Class. The Struggle for Social Justice
by Jean Ait Belkhir, Southern University at New Orleans & University of New Orleans
The first part of this book examines the author's race, gender and class background and life experience, which somehow explains how he became involved in the US race, gender and class (RGC) academic movement in the late 1980s. The second part of this book introduces the intersection of RGC concept in social theory on inequality, and emphasizes that the concept of the simultaneity of racism, sexism and classism is the most important and significant critical social theory in American sociological analysis. The third part of this book presents the African, Asian, Native, Chicana and working class American RGC perspectives. Each perspective varies in the metaphors they use to describe the nature of RGC intersections, however each of them agrees that the meaning of RGC cannot be added to produce one so-called grand oppression; it follows they cannot be multiplied either. The fourth part shows how the concept of RGC can be applied to any social issues such as education, work, health, justice and so forth... Finally, the fifth part of overview of RGC studies is a short discussion on how to develop sociological research to be applied in RGC studies. In conclusion, bringing racism, sexism and classism to an end requires the elimination of racism, sexism and classism all together. We need to build a broad, unifying social theory on inequality, and not only to describe social inequality based on racism, sexism and classism.
2005: Interaction of Race, Gender and Class in the Media
by Cecelia Baldwin, San Jose State University, California, and Jane Twomey, American University, Washington , DC
Several recent events... have focused public and scholarly attention squarely on the mass media, and as a result, on the media's social and cultural influence. As such, there could not be a more appropriate time than right now for the collection and publication of the articles includes in this book... The essays in this collection assess whether or not media have met these goals or challenge them to do so. In the words of the author Cecelia Baldwin, "The power of the media demands its constant critical review. Issues of race, gender and class should be particularly scrutinized, as the impact of the media and its effects on cultures can play a significant role in the proliferation of stereotypes and dominant ideology." The public has been moved to media scrutiny, so have many in the scholarly community. These essays represent some of the best of their research.
