Showing results for "Words" in Racism & Discrimination

In 2003, the book Nigger started an intense conversation about the uses and implications of that epithet. The N Word moves beyond that short, provocative book by revealing how the word has both reflected and spread the scourge of bigotry in America.

This book is about a Black man's experience of reading Mark Twain's classic Adventures of Huckleberry Finn for the first time while in graduate school. The story captures the author's emotional struggle with Twain's use of the racial epithet more than 200 times in the text. This is a courageous memoir that wrestles with the historic stain of racism and the ongoing impact of racist language in postmodern society. The book is about Harris' flashbacks, conversations, and dilemmas spawned by use of the epithet in a classroom setting where the author was the only Black person.

De flesta svenskar har stor välvilja mot och tolerans för invandrare, och önskar att invandringen skulle ha lyckats bättre. Sveriges experiment med storskalig invandring från tredje världen till en välfärdsstat har varit unikt till sin omfattning men har i många avseenden misslyckats. Sveriges samhällsproblem är i dag allt mer koncentrerade till den del av befolkningen som har invandrarbakgrund.
