The practices of a White American-led society have not only perpetuated these practices, but deeply embedded unlawful and discriminatory racial policies that affect the everyday way, for all citizens of the United States, and in particular, African Americans. From Sheets to Suits: Embedded Racism in American Society is without a doubt a controversial examination of the beginnings of racism in this country, originating with the Ku Klux Klan and reaching a pinnacle in the summer of 2014 with the shooting of Michael Brown Jr., an unarmed African American teenager in Ferguson, Missouri, a suburb of St. Louis. St. Louis, Missouri, is the one of the most covertly racist cities in the United States. Many of the White Americans in the Gateway City are ignorant, dont like to be around African American people, dont believe black people can be educated and go out of their way to prevent African Americans from succeeding. Law enforcement agencies have even gone as far as to intentionally target African Americans in sinister revenue scandals. Parker examines the forms taken by embedded racism in politics and entertainment, in educational institutions and in everyday encounters. Readers are made to feel the humiliations and hostility encountered by African American people in what remains, to a shocking degree, an embedded racist society.This book delves into how racism has affected, and has had a hand in shaping every aspect of the society in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53074808144151,"sku":null,"price":1483.4,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/6918\/8119\/files\/9781514421246.jpg?v=1781241502"},{"product_id":"cultural-qualities-you-must-acquire-to-succeed-in-higher-education-9781664144217","title":"Cultural Qualities YOU must Acquire to Succeed in Higher Education","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Cultural Qualities YOU must Acquire to Succeed in Higher Education is a unique book that can support higher education stakeholders in many ways.

Most governments have introduced a policy that requires students to complete their studies within a limited time, especially the research students (master''s and doctoral degree students). The implementation of the policy has also caused tension in higher education students'' learning and supervision. Academics have debated and written about the problem widely, and it is no longer a discreet encounter for higher education stakeholders.Despite the scholarly effort of disclosing the challenges'' depth, no literature has adequately supported students to implement the policy effectively and successfully. This book attempts to fill the gap by guiding higher education students on observing ten major principles for timely and successful completion. If students perceive, learn, and practice the guidance in this book, they will attain their degree anywhere (in a physical setting, online, home, and abroad) worldwide. The principles might be useful in the orientation programs for first-year students in universities and colleges. First, students ought to comprehend factors that might contribute to the delay completion and dropout. Second, they must analyze and communicate their needs and requirements from the beginning of their enrolment while re-examining their association, networking, self-management, and self-leadership. The book also reminds higher education students to build healthy habits to support developing cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains and remain active and creative. Four categories of students'' personalities are discussed to urge students to evaluate who they are and whether they are problem solvers, informers, implementers, or workforce to society. The understanding can support them chose the projects that align with what they are to society. Self-awareness and leadership may make the learning task more manageable, enjoyable, and meaningful, and filling the knowledge gap can be realized timely.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53532156821783,"sku":null,"price":673.53,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/6918\/8119\/files\/9781664153981.jpg?v=1781245262"},{"product_id":"dem-haoles-9781664176393","title":"Dem Haoles","description":"\u003cp\u003eDem Haoles is an innovative and entertaining study of white privilege. Set against the backdrop of Hawaii, Dem Haoles explores how white people or haoles are portrayed and why. The exploration is guided by the concept of images or archetypes, employed to classify and dissect haole representation. Dem Haoles mines normally mundane entertainment vehicles like romantic comedies and action hero dramas and reveals that these artifacts of popular culture are more than mindless entertainment. They are in fact well camouflaged political messaging. The focus on popular culture examined through image analysis makes Dem Haoles entertaining and informative. The examination of popular media is detailed and thorough and will evoke deep nostalgic sentiments. While the insightful analysis of images, its mechanics, and intent will provoke critical thinking. Together this combination makes Dem Haoles a unique and rewarding experience that will both invalidate old perceptions about Hawaii and ruin the simple pleasure of mindless entertainment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53532221931799,"sku":null,"price":538.56,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/6918\/8119\/files\/9781664176393.jpg?v=1781247635"}],"url":"https:\/\/payment.letskitaboo.com\/collections\/popular-culture-antiques-collectibles.oembed","provider":"Kitaboo One eStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
