Dear Freedom Writer: Stories of Hardship and Hope from the Next Generation
For the Classroom
- The Brooklyn College Listening ProjectAn oral history and community interview initiative at Brooklyn College, CUNY, where students interview family, neighbors, friends and strangers about their lives, their experiences and their perspectives on the world.
- Unlearning Racism: the Classroom as a Space for Social TransformationThe U.S.-Mexico borderlands are fraught with conflicts, metaphors, and euphemisms. As such, many students are cautious speaking to the complexities of the borderlands when they realize racist and anti-immigrant discourse are at its core. Borderlands pedagogy, however, can serve as a means of connectivity for social justice courses and for social and transformative justice curricula. This paper argues the U.S.-Mexico borderlands, as articulated through the citizenship regime, deals primarily in power and control; and those who have the power to define citizenship are those who have the control to claim citizenship.
- Anti-Asian Racism: Guide to Critical AnalysisThis section presents a guide that may help readers make a critical analysis of the debate about the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) Hate Crimes Act that was signed in response to the increasing incidents of anti-Asian hate crimes in the U.S. in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Topics discussed include the need to take note of the contrasting commentaries offered, the differences between facts and opinions, and the bibliographic sources that need to be acknowledged.
