Race as a Social Construction<\/div>\n
According to Omi and Winant, what does it mean for race to be a social construction? How do they define race, racial formation, racialization, and racial etiquette? Then, use these concepts to analyze George Floyd\u2019s life experience. In other words, how do specific racialized institutions (the neighborhood, the school system, the criminal justice system, the workforce, etc), ideologies (common ideas and stereotypes about black men), and practices (redlining, segregated neighborhoods and schools, sports, policing, ways of acting and dressing, etc) create racial categories and racialized identities Floyd and his friends and family? And, what are the consequences of race for George Floyd and others in the book? Please use Omi & Winant and His Name is George Floyd to support your points. Be sure to define and use the following terms from Omi and Winant: race, race as a social construction, racial formation, racialization, and racial etiquette.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Race and Other Differences<\/div>\n
Multiracial feminists argue that race \u201cintersects\u201d with other forms of privilege and oppression. How was George Floyd\u2019s life experiences shaped by his race, gender, and social class? How do Floyd\u2019s experiences compare to other people in his life? Make comparisons (compare and contrast) to at least two other people in the book who were a different race, gender, or social class. In your response, be sure to define intersectionality. Please use Baca-Zinn & Dill and His Name is George Floyd to support your points.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Race and Criminal Justice<\/div>\n
Both Michelle Alexander in \u201cThe New Jim Crow\u201d and Hinton, Henderson, & Reed in \u201cUnjust Burden: The Disparate Treatment of Black Americans in the Criminal Justice System\u201d show how the US criminal justice system disproportionately targets and harms Black communities. According to these authors, in what ways are Black people treated differently than whites in the criminal justice system? How did these types of policing practices in Houston shape the experiences of Floyd and his crew? Please use Alexander; Hinton, Henderson, & Reed; and His Name is George Floyd to support your points.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The School-to-Prison Pipeline<\/div>\n
Oluo argues that schools are at least partially responsible for the high rates of Black men in prison. How did George Floyd\u2019s experiences in school contribute to his eventual arrests and incarceration? In your essay, define what the school-to-prison pipeline is, including how and where it starts. Use this concept to show points in Floyd\u2019s education that contributed to his path to prison, including punitive measures, standardized testing, lack of cultural sensitivity, racial bias, the pathologizing of black kids, classroom dynamics with teachers, and other issues. Please use Oluo and His Name is George Floyd to support your points.Structure and Format<\/div>\n
