Free Download The skin of the system : on Germany’s socialist modernity By Fühmann, Franz; Fuhmann, Franz; Robinson, Benjamin
2009 | 355 Pages | ISBN: 0804762473 | PDF | 3 MB
The Skin of the System objects to the idea that there is only one modernity-that of liberal capitalism. Starting from the simple conviction that whatever else East German socialism was, it was real, this book focuses on what made historical socialism different from social systems in the West. In this way, the study elicits the general question: what must we think in order to think an other system at all?To approach this question, Robinson turns to the remarkable writer Franz Fühmann, the East German who most single-mindedly dedicated himself to understanding what it means to transform from fascism to socialism. Fühmann’s own serial loyalties to Hitler and Stalin inform his existential meditations on change and difference. By placing Fühmann’s politically alert and intensely personal literary inventions in the context of an inquiry into radical social rupture, The Skin of the System wrests the brutal materiality of twentieth-century socialism from attempts to provincialize both its desires and its failures as antimodern ideological follies.

Free Download Color Matters: Skin Tone Bias and the Myth of a Postracial America By Kimberly Jade Norwood
2013 | 256 Pages | ISBN: 0415517745 | PDF | 2 MB
In the United States, as in many parts of the world, people are discriminated against based on the color of their skin. This type of skin tone bias, or colorism, is both related to and distinct from discrimination on the basis of race, with which it is often conflated. Preferential treatment of lighter skin tones over darker occurs within racial and ethnic groups as well as between them. While America has made progress in issues of race over the past decades, discrimination on the basis of color continues to be a constant and often unremarked part of life.InColor Matters, Kimberly Jade Norwood has collected the most up-to-date research on this insidious form of discrimination, including perspectives from the disciplines of history, law, sociology, and psychology. Anchored with historical chapters that show how the influence and legacy of slavery have shaped the treatment of skin color in American society, the contributors to this volume bring to light the ways in which colorism affects us all–influencing what we wear, who we see on television, and even which child we might pick to adopt. Sure to be an eye-opening collection for anyone curious about how race and color continue to affect society,Color Mattersprovides students of race in America with wide-ranging overview of a crucial topic.
