It seems like a part of human nature to favor, protect, and try to advance members of one's own group, whether they be friends, family, or members of any social group to which one belongs. But when these practices are applied to those who share one's biological heritage, the heated topic of racism is sure to surface. In the United States, Whites are frequently accused of being racist since they are the dominant culture. But are minority groups capable of the same? Author M. Arthur Dunn, alarmed by such incidents as the St. Petersburg riots and the "not guilty" verdict in the O.J. Simpson trial, theorizes a trend in the United States to overcompensate for injustices experience by minorities in the past. This has resulted in a "reverse racism," where Whites have become the target of discrimination. He believes, however, there is both just and injust racism. To interpret the difference between the two, one should determine whether there is the use or absence of aggression. In order to lend credence to his theory, Dunn has devised "The Black Racism Index: A Great American Guilt Trip" from an Irish/Italian American Perspective, which analyzes documented interracial violent crime rates and adjusts them for racial population percentages. Dunn's purpose is to assess whether or not Blacks are guilty of unjust racism against Whites. The premise behind Dunn's theory is not to point a finger of blame. It is to search for answers to the racial problems plaguing society today. No matter what our race, we need to become aware of our positive and negative emotions toward each other, and accept them both. We also need to accept the biological differences over which we had no control. In short, if we don't make a conscious effort to own both what makes us the same and what makes us different, we risk severe polarization of races in this country. Consequences could be another civil war or even the invasion of the United States by other nations. On the other hand, identifying unjust racist behaviors and acknowledging our natural racist tendencies will enable us to make great strides in solving community and international problems. In doing so, we will be capable of advancing our species to a higher spiritual level. The choice is ours.

No country is as rich in field antiquities as Ireland, and this work gives an account in simple language of the origin, purpose, date and distribution of all classes of monuments with the exception of ecclesiastical remains and medieval castles. It provides the general reader with all the information he is likely to need on such monuments as forts, megalithic tombs, crannogs and stone circles and is an exceptionally useful book for the student. Published in 1979, this fifth edition was thoroughly revised and updated to include more recently discovered sites and new interpretations. Includes map and chronological table.

Drawing on diverse cultural forms, and ranging across disciplinary boundaries, Nation States maps the contested cultural terrain of Irish nationalism from the Act of Union of 1800 to the present. In looking at Irish nationalism as a site of struggle, Mays examines both the myriad ways in which the nation fashions itself as the a priori ground of identity, and those processes through which nationalism engenders an ostensibly unique national identity corresponding to one and only one nation-state, the place where we always have been, and can only ever be, Oat home.O Productinformatie:Taal: Engels;Formaat: ePub met kopieerbeveiliging (DRM) van Adobe;Bestandsgrootte: 0.51 MB;Kopieerrechten: Het kopiëren van (delen van) de pagina's is niet toegestaan ;Printrechten: Het printen van de pagina's is niet toegestaan;Voorleesfunctie: De voorleesfunctie is uitgeschakeld;Geschikt voor: Alle e-readers te koop bij bol.com (of compatible met Adobe DRM).
