We dive into Amaka’s new book: To Fulfill These Rights: Political Contention Over Affirmative Action and Open Admissions in Public Universities (Columbia University Press). Pre-Order here
Her work explores and offers insight into:
How do social movements emerge in relationship to changing ideas and practices of racial justice?
How has social policy developed in response to the demands of social movements?
How do identities like race, class, and gender function in the development of social movement collective identity and strategy?
We get into....
The art of ‘air hustling’
The underground Oakland hip-hop scene
Educated while black, brown, and female
WATCH! This is life: by Ava DuVernay: "A rich narrative of praise, clarification, brother-and-sisterhood and the birth of cool.” - LOS ANGELES TIMES
Where we are, where we’re headed, and how we all can make education accessible and a top priority
The intersectionality of oppression -- beyond affirmative action
READ! The Privileged Poor How Elite Colleges Are Failing Disadvantaged Students
How to help the youth thrive in PWI (predominantly white institutions) beyond
And much, much more…..THIS IS THE FINALE (FIRE!!!)...
