Nevertheless, three of the world’s five most populous nations—India (1.2 billion), the United States (311 million), and Brazil (192 million), make efforts in this area. The statistical record indicates that income and labor market conditions are significantly stratified by racial and ethnic backgrounds in these nations. While there are examples of racial and ethnic minorities who outperform the dominant majority or traditional power bloc in these democracies, the available statistics paint a grim picture, showing dramatically higher poverty and unemployment levels for those belonging to certain racial and ethnic classifications. Often at the apex of income inequality in the world, Brazil has watched notable shrinkage during the Lula years in its Gini coefficient, the most widely used measure of disparities of wealth and income. But the stratification remains enormous. Whites still earn double the income of black/brown workers, though for the university-educated black/brown population the salary gap is narrower, approximately 15 percent less than for university-educated whites. Since the late 1970s, the United States has seen remarkable leaps of inequality under both Democrat and Republican regimes, though African Americans had made striking gains between the 1940s and the mid-1970s. India classifies many of its different peoples with categories that sound archaic and offensive in the postmodern and politically correct circles of the contemporary West: “Scheduled Castes” (SC), “Scheduled Tribes” (ST), and “Other Backward Classes”","PeriodicalId":297214,"journal":{"name":"Race/Ethnicity: Multidisciplinary Global Contexts","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115674592","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As Monami Maulik, the founder and executive director of Desis Rising Up & Moving (DRUM), explains, her group had for nearly ten years prior to the 2001 terrorist attacks been immersed in the immigration and law-enforcement crisis in working-class communities of color. The existence of such an organization debunks the falsehood that undocumented immigrants or members of the working class, especially Muslims, could not be organized in a political manner. Nonetheless, in exploring the effects of September 11, the author makes it clear that the 2001 terrorist attacks did force a new consciousness among South Asians. As a leader of DRUM, she quickly realized that new strategies were required to fight the struggles that low-wage South Asian workers and youth faced, and that different struggles had to be taken into account. Consequently, DRUM uses as its key tactics the cross-mobilization of their efforts with other marginalized and suppressed communities within the United States and the rooting of American struggles in conversations about global justice.","PeriodicalId":297214,"journal":{"name":"Race/Ethnicity: Multidisciplinary Global Contexts","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126238427","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ahmad","doi":"10.2979/RACETHMULGLOCON.4.3.337","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2979/RACETHMULGLOCON.4.3.337","url":null,"abstract":"t would be naive to ignore how severely the systematic attacks of the Right since September 11 have stalled the critical project of the Left in deconstructing the current political moment. With much of the Left having abandoned its principled commitments and lined up, flags waving, in full support of the Bush administration’s prosecution of the war, a reconstructive project has yet to begin. The decampment of the Left is so dire that the Nation recently proclaimed, without apology, the opinionating of fictional character Huey Freeman in the comic The Boondocks to be “the most biting and consistent critique of the war and its discontents in the nation’s mass media.”1 For months we have been bracing ourselves for the next degradation; “things will get worse before they get better” seemed to be the mantra of despair. This may still be so: With Bush’s threatened expansion of the war beyond Afghanistan, U.S. antipathy toward the Geneva Conventions, and the continuing detention of Arabs, Muslims, and South Asians, the crisis shows no signs of abating. But it is in exactly this moment of nationalist, nativist, and militaristic excess that we might develop greater acuity not only in our critique of prevailing politics, but in the imagined alternatives. Decentering of September 11, as Judith Butler suggests,2 is important to understand the meaning and import of the terrorist attacks. But decentering requires not only that we expand our frame of reference to include the world before September 11, we must envision a desired world after September 11 as well.","PeriodicalId":297214,"journal":{"name":"Race/Ethnicity: Multidisciplinary Global Contexts","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128293862","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

She was also involved in immigrant rights, racial justice, and queer/trans justice work. Being simultaneously positioned in these sometimes overlapping, sometimes distinct, spheres produced unexpected insights into the alliances and fractures that emerged through South Asian community-based responses to September 11 and its impacts on the communities. In this paper, the author explores the limitations South Asian women’s organizations (SAWOs) experienced in holding the complexities of the myriad forms of state, institutional, and interpersonal violence that faced South Asian survivors in the post–September 11 period. These limitations were rooted in the obscurity of the role of structural violence in the everyday lives of South Asian communities, which was made possible through 1) a general emphasis on criminal legal solutions to respond to violence in the interpersonal realm; and 2) the location of SAWOs’ work in discourses of culture and the consequent advocacy for culturally specific needs of survivors.","PeriodicalId":297214,"journal":{"name":"Race/Ethnicity: Multidisciplinary Global Contexts","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133466376","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
