Pick ONE of these questions to answer. (DON’T answer all of them, or one from each chapter. Just answer One!) Be as comprehensive as you can be.
-
- Discuss Dubois’s theory of the double consciousness. How do the videos by Dr. Ken Hardy and Joy DeGruy, and the reading from Kardiner and Ovesey, “Social Environment of the Negro,” exemplify and explore this concept?
- How do demagogues manipulate people via racism into following their authoritarian agendas? What is the social psychological basis for this, according to James Baldwin and sociologists/psychologists associated with the Frankfurt School, such as Lowenthal and Guterman?
- Discuss the Leftist views (Marxist, socialist) on the historical and psycho-social origins of racism. Why do these thinkers believe that racism is historically found in the modern world? How does that differ from the liberal, symbolic interactionist view? Why would critics like Elizabeth Lasch Quinn dismiss the “racial etiquette” coming out of this latter view?
- Discuss the theories of Durkheim and Marx, on ethnicity. What advantages does ethnicity have? Disadvantages? How would Durkheim vs. Marx discuss these?
- Discuss the textbook’s reference to sentencing laws as a way to describe and analyze institutional racism. In your answer, define institutional racism as a concept and show how the issue of sentencing laws and the examples you give demonstrate institutional racism.
