To address this gap in the literature, I conducted five focus groups in Maryland and the District of Colombia in 2016 to identify the challenges facing BWMA (i.e., leaders, organizers, and protestors) in local organizations connected to the Movement for Black Lives. Theoretically grounded in intersectionality and Black radical social movement theories, themes emerging from these focus groups identify a deep racial capital, but challenges a broader vision for movement work rooted in a global analysis. Findings also reveal the challenges presented to BWMA are the following: social media activism as a dominant participation mode, participants’ goals toward colorblind reform policies, and challenges to class-consciousness and coalition-building that signal a racial consciousness among these focus groups and healthy skepticism toward national and global coalitions. This research provides a nuanced discussion of the struggle to build a global working-class movement in local anti-racist organizations which would outline the schism from theory to action. The disconnection between global and local goals is a persistent theme. Implications for future research are discussed.","PeriodicalId":81481,"journal":{"name":"Humanity & society","volume":"1 1","pages":"28 - 51"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82137378","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}

The United States has one of the highest infant mortality rates among the world’s high income nations. Infant mortality is a key indicator of a population’s health and societal well-being, yet interventions aimed at improving societal well-being are rarely a priority when devising infant mortality reduction strategies. Historically, grassroots movements have been critical in advancing social change to improve women’s health and empowerment in marginalized communities. Understanding strategic and infrastructure elements of these grassroots movements is a critical first step to efficiently growing USA grassroots movements to address social systems associated with poor birth outcomes. We provide an analysis of the diverse array of grassroots structures and strategies utilized to improve maternal and child health outcomes. It is time for grassroots movements to form and be recognized as vital players in efforts to sustainably reduce infant mortality in the United States. It is essential to foster grassroots leaders and movements that improve long standing social structures that contribute to poor birth outcomes. The personal and community knowledge of these leaders and community members are desperately needed to save women and infants in our nation.","PeriodicalId":81481,"journal":{"name":"Humanity & society","volume":"12 1","pages":"110 - 127"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80192958","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}

However, globalization is not politically neutral; in its current form, it is enmeshed with the ideology of neoliberalism. This ideology encompasses both economic theory and normative ideals of self and society. Thus, neoliberal globalization spreads both the economic and normative elements of neoliberalism across the globe. Neoliberal globalization influences global mental health in three spheres. Firstly, it alters the material conditions of life through its interactions with inequality, recessions, employment, and living environments. Secondly, it changes the cultural and ideological environments it encounters, with implications for the goals, values, satisfaction, and self-conception of those within. Finally, the globalization of psychiatry itself poses new challenges and questions for how we can address mental illness in heterogeneous global contexts, promoting mental health for all while avoiding the mistakes of the past. Ultimately, I argue that those involved in mental health must not only be more willing to discuss the ways in which upstream sociopolitical factors act as structural determinants of mental health, but they must also be prepared to challenge these determinants.","PeriodicalId":81481,"journal":{"name":"Humanity & society","volume":"223 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83654601","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}

In this article, we examine the narratives of 138 socially and economically marginalized fathers to identify the frames that they adopt to represent themselves as fathers, tell a coherent story about their lives, and project an identity of themselves into their futures. Despite the political–economic forces that have dramatically increased inequality in an era of neoliberal capitalism, fathers rarely alluded to structural explanations for family instability, father absence, marital dissolution, and gender distrust in low-income communities. Instead, fathers attempted to adopt socially valued identities along three symbolic boundaries that distinguished themselves from their own fathers, from welfare frauds, and from the iconic deadbeat dad. They also adopted individualistic frames that took the form of therapeutic narratives and life-course transitional narratives. In general, despite harsh structural constraints, the men imagined themselves doing better, and, in nearly all cases, being engaged fathers was at the center of these hopeful constructions. Without structural change, however, these aspirational frames are likely to become little more than false hopes.","PeriodicalId":81481,"journal":{"name":"Humanity & society","volume":"1 1","pages":"287 - 312"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88165247","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}

I seek to bridge the gap between the raced and gendered experiences of Black gang members, especially women whose experiences are often overlooked. Utilizing critical race theory, I will examine how gender performances are influenced by gang membership and how members and their associates construct their identities. An intersectional focus on Black women gang membership will broaden our understanding of gang literature where Black men are often overrepresented. This research will produce participant-led data that unearth gang members’ firsthand experiences and will produce important contributions. Findings suggest that gang members experience significant Black adolescent trauma; membership for Black women is familial, and as adults, they often use their gang identities to challenge gang culture; and there is a duality between “gang members” and “gang bangers.” I argue that this research debunks the narrative that gang members display inherent criminal behavior. Instead, I provide a counternarrative that humanizes gang members and adds validity to the structural causes of gang membership in these communities.","PeriodicalId":81481,"journal":{"name":"Humanity & society","volume":"36 1","pages":"422 - 448"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87571327","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}

Although evidence-based programs have been deemed effective, most are predicated upon getting youth to assimilate into dominant cultural norms, a practice that can have negative unintended consequences. This research examines youth narratives from a writing program in a long-term juvenile corrections facility. The findings demonstrate how individualism and abstract liberalism infuse the youths’ writings about themselves, their previous behavior, and their path upon reentry. By drawing upon these frames, the youth ignore structures that constrain individual agency and construct successful reentry as an individual endeavor to “make good choices.” In doing so, they construct themselves as problems to be fixed. Overall, this research engages the voices of incarcerated youth to examine how they socially construct themselves through narratives and how these narratives are informed by dominant and marginalizing ideologies.","PeriodicalId":81481,"journal":{"name":"Humanity & society","volume":"32 1","pages":"599 - 616"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90595364","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}
