Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The lifestyles of people with disabilities have been changing rapidly during the last two decades. While in the past people with disabilities tended to remain within the confines of institutions for most of their lives, disabled citizens are now participating in all aspects of community life. Today disabled women and men are marrying, raising families, pursuing a variety of career options, doing volunteer work, and travelling. Many disabled people who lead challenging lifestyles also require personal services which are provided by readers, attendants, homemakers, resource facilitators, and job-site coaches. Consumers are finding that existing delivery systems either fail to meet their needs or unduly constrain their lifestyles. Consequently, people with disabilities have developed a strategy for how personal services should be delivered, and the Coalition of Provincial Organizations of the Handicapped's (COPOH) perspective on this issue is elucidated in this article. This report attempts to convey the concerns which have been raised at various consumer forums in personal testimonies by men and women with disabilities. This is in keeping with COPOH's role as the disabled consumer's voice in Canadian society.

On November 4, 1919, six weeks into the Great Steel Strike, the citizens of Lackawanna, New York, elected John H. Gibbons as their Mayor. Gibbons' victory was a major upset. He defeated John Toomey, the incumbent who had the support of the steel firm after which this quintessential company town was named, by forging a loosely knit coalition of native and Eastern European immigrant workers during the height of the xenophobia of the ongoing Red Scare. Gibbons' election came at a time when the Socialist Party was in decline and the various levels of American government enthusiastically used their repressive mechanisms to crush the country's “un-American” Left.

In many ways, American democracy seems to work better for older citizens than younger citizens, and one explanation is that young adults vote at much lower rates than their older counterparts. Yet while the existence of the age gap in turnout is well established, there remains uncertainty as to what drives it. In this paper, we explore age as a potentially important group identity and evaluate whether strength of age-group identity predicts political participation. Adapting established measures in the social identity literature, we surveyed a representative sample of American adults to gauge how strongly they identified with others in their age group. We find that, on average, younger adults identify less strongly than senior citizens with others their age. However, for young adults, age-group identity is as strong as another form of group identity that has gotten considerable attention in the literature: political party identity. The strength of age-group identity also predicts both voting and participating in climate change protests, especially for young adults. Age-group identity is a stronger predictor of climate protest participation for young Republicans than young Democrats—suggesting there may be potential for a bipartisan coalition of young people active on the issue of climate change.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
During the middle years of the Great Depression, urban taxpayers across the land became targets of a massive advertising campaign. This fact alone does not offer the historian much cause for surprise. Advertising, massive or otherwise, always has been common fare for American consumers. What made this particular campaign different from most others was its peculiar agenda: convincing Americans to pay taxes. The central players were the National Pay-Your-Taxes Campaign (NPYTC) and the Citizens' Councils for Constructive Economy (CCCE). Both began in 1933 and embodied the interests of a diverse coalition of good-government reformers, academics, bureaucrats, and investment bankers. Almost all the founding members had one thing in common: They depended heavily on the consumption of tax money.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Public policies are products of politics, but they also feed back into the political system by shaping the actions and attitudes of members of the polity. To date, scholarly examinations of feedback processes have been mostly concerned with understanding the relationship between public policy and democracy; relatively little attention has been paid to connecting policy feedback to the practical questions that animate politics. This article examines policy feedback as it applies to efforts aimed at achieving universal health coverage in the United States—a widely held policy goal shared by a majority of American voters across partisan lines. I argue that in the contemporary political context, Medicaid—a pillar of the American healthcare system and the primary mechanism for insuring low-income and disabled citizens—can produce negative feedbacks that demobilize political action, destabilize advocacy groups, and deter coalition building. Together, these feedbacks undermine future possibilities for universal healthcare. After detailing these democratic dilemmas, I outline strategies for proactively addressing them.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
News media play a key role in communicating information about political parties to the American public. However, our understanding of how media depict relations between elites and the broader party coalitions remains limited. Moreover, while research suggests that forced exposure to such information can affect political attitudes, it remains unclear whether citizens are willing to selectively expose themselves to such communications. To address these two interrelated questions, this study first employs a content analysis to explore patterns in news coverage of inter- and intra-party relations throughout the Obama presidency. Next, two survey experiments investigate the degree to which such relations affect citizens’ self-exposure to such information. Taken together, the analyses uncover two important asymmetries. First, throughout Obama’s presidency, mass media depicted a Republican coalition virtually always against the president, yet substantial discord within the Democratic Party. Second, though partisans show no propensity to consume news depicting inparty unity (vs. disunity), both Republicans and Democrats exhibit a strong tendency to consume news stories depicting disunity in the outparty. Insofar as partisans’ self-exposure to such information is a necessary precondition for attitudinal and behavioral change, these findings have notable implications for how mass media stand to shape partisanship in the United States.

"A Journey across Countries, Constructs, and Dreams: Perspectives of Indian American Families of Youth with Developmental Disabilities on Transition from School to Post-School Settings". American Journal of Qualitative Research 8, n.º 1 (1 de janeiro de 2024): 133–56. http://dx.doi.org/10.29333/ajqr/14088.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
<i>This article draws on the findings of a qualitative study that focused on the perspectives of four Indian American mothers of youth with developmental disabilities on the process of transitioning from school to post-school environments. Data were collected through in-depth ethnographic interviews. The findings indicate that in their efforts to support their youth with developmental disabilities, the mothers themselves navigate multiple transitions across countries, constructs, dreams, systems of schooling, and services. The mothers’ perspectives have to be understood against the larger context of their experiences as citizens of this country as well as members of the South Asian diaspora. The mothers’ views on services, their journey, their dreams for their youth, and their interpretation of the ideas anchored in current conversations on transition are continually evolving. Their attempts to maintain their resilience and their indigenous understandings while simultaneously negotiating their experiences in the United States with supporting their youth are discussed. </i>

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
All citizens are expected to participate in the processes of democratic decision making in the postschool years, and the goals of social studies education have long included the preparation of an informed citizenry. However, surveys show that social studies instruction is often not provided for students with disabilities, and those that receive instruction do poorly compared to their nondisabled peers. Students' poor performance is exacerbated by the reliance on “inconsiderate” textbooks that are often poorly organized, lacking in content, and devoid of important background information. Project-based instruction is an alternative to the exclusive reliance on textbook-based instruction in the social studies. Students investigate a problem or question and develop artifacts based on these investigations. In this study, students with learning disabilities, working under two different conditions, developed projects about factors that precipitated the American Revolutionary War. Students in both conditions worked cooperatively to learn about some aspect of the Revolutionary War, and they then contributed to the construction and presentation of a group report about the topic. However, students in one group had access to word processing tools, and the other had access to word processing and multimedia presentation tools in developing their projects. Analyses of students' knowledge revealed a substantial improvement in both conditions after the completion of the projects.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Members of the Deaf New American community reported they arrived in the United States with no formal education, unable to read or write in their native language, and had zero fluency in English. Efforts to educate them have floundered, and the study aims to find out why and how to fix the problem. Interviews of eight Deaf New Americans yielded rich data that demonstrates how education policy in the form of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and other laws fail to address their needs, because these laws do not include them in their coverage. The study’s main findings are the deleterious effect of the home country’s failure to educate their Deaf citizens, America’s failure to provide accessible and effective instruction, and the combined effect of these institutional failures on the ability of Deaf New Americans to master English and find gainful employment. This article is an argument for a change in education policy that recognizes the unique nature of this community and provides for a role of Deaf educators in teaching Deaf New Americans.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Within the U.S. there is a growing interest in the case of female adolescents being coerced into the sex industry (Bernstein, 2010; Estes & Weiner, 2001; Soderlund, 2010; Williams and Frederick, 2009). This interest, which emerged due to U.S. involvement in the international trafficking phenomena and grassroots organizing, has resulted in a movement to end commercial sexual exploitation of children (also known as "child trafficking)". Feminist activists have mobilized around this issue seeking recourse for youth who have been victims of exploitation. This thesis presents a study of a prevention/early intervention program, the "Girls Coalition," founded for adjudicated girls who are deemed "high risk" for commercial sexual exploitation. The Youth Resource Center, a non-profit organization, began the Girls Coalition in order to prevent exploitation by empowering the youth to better their lives. While not an openly identified feminist organization, the Girls Coalition does espouse feminist goals and its mission emulates feminist processes. Through qualitative methods my study explores how the staff understand their role in the lives of the youth they serve as well as the organization in which they work. Findings reveal themes centered on feminist management and organizational functioning, which includes the processes and dynamics present within the running of the organization. Results also reveal themes that include how participants enact ethics of care and empowerment of the youth whom the Girls Coalition serves.Graduation date: 2012

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Persons with disabilities make up a large and significant segment of the American public; however, Americans with disabilities have rarely been considered an important political constituency or received public (or scholarly) attention in terms of their representation among political candidates or office holders. To the extent that people with disabilities have been addressed in American political discourse, they have been associated with the receipt of public benefits and services instead of being thought of as people with the potential to actively participate. Having a physical or mental impairment has typically carried with it a considerable degree of social stigma, and to be disabled is, in the minds of many, to be incapable and incompetent, dependent on others, and even morally questionable. Thus, for much of American history, the perception of an individual as disabled has been inconsistent with the personal qualities that the voting public and political gatekeepers view as desirable for public officials.While there have always been politicians with disabilities in government, many of them have chosen to hide or minimize the visibility and extent of their impairments. However, cultural changes in part provoked by the disability rights movement have meant that many impairments have become less discrediting, and that people with disabilities are more likely to be seen as having the potential to be contributing citizens. The number of political candidates and officeholders with disabilities appears to be increasing, and some have chosen to include or even highlight their disabling condition as they present themselves to their constituents.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
In 2020, a coalition of citizens, organizers, legislators, and educators came together to commemorate the Fifteenth and Nineteenth Amendments by establishing a new monument in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. This would be a memorial dedicated to the capital city’s significant African American community and its historic struggle for the vote. The Commonwealth Monument, located on the Irvis Equality Circle on the South Lawn of Pennsylvania’s State Capitol Grounds, features a bronze pedestal inscribed with one hundred names of change agents who pursued the power of suffrage and citizenship between 1850 and 1920. This book is a companion to this monument and tells the stories of those one hundred freedom seekers, abolitionists, activists, suffragists, moralists, policemen, masons, doctors, lawyers, musicians, poets, publishers, teachers, preachers, housekeepers, janitors, and business leaders, among many others. In their committed advocacy for freedom, equality, and justice, these inspiring men and women made unique and lasting contributions to the standing and life of African Americans—and, indeed, the political power of all Americans—within their local communities and across the country. Calobe Jackson, Jr., is an historian of Harrisburg African American studies, Katie Wingert McArdle is a writer and researcher currently serving as the head swim coach at Dickinson College, and David Pettegrew is a professor of history at Messiah University.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Abstract Hosea Williams, son of blind African American parents, grew up in poverty in the segregated South, working as a cleaner, caretaker, and farm worker before the war began and he joined the Army. When his platoon of thirteen men was hit by a shell in France, Williams alone survived. He spent over a year in the hospital and endured permanent disabilities, walking with a limp the rest of his life. Upon returning home, he dared to drink from a whites-only water fountain at a segregated bus station and was beaten nearly to death by a mob of whites. The incident proved a turning point in the making of a civil rights activist. After he recovered from his injuries, Williams both joined the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and resumed his education, using the G.I. Bill to complete high school and then bachelor’s and master’s degrees in chemistry from Morris Brown College and Atlanta University. He was hired by the U.S. Department of Agriculture as a research chemist, becoming one of the first blacks to hold such a position in the South. Meanwhile, Williams grew increasingly involved in the struggle for equal rights, emerging as a leader in demonstrations throughout the later 1950s; over the years he was arrested at least 124 times. Martin Luther King Jr. recruited him, first to join the Southern Christian Leadership Council and later to join his staff. On March 7, 1956, Williams led a march from Selma to Montgomery for voting rights. A national audience of television viewers watched as the participants knelt in prayer and state troopers attacked them with whips, tear gas, and nightsticks; Williams himself was beaten unconscious and left with a severe concussion and fractured skull.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This chapter explores tactics around a growing digital age “informatic ideal” in contemporary state tactics. Such tactics, including Peru’s new labor law, increasingly exemplify an embrace of what digital studies scholars label as an information age elevation of modularity. Derived from programmer practices from the 1960s onward, the modular principle stressed the value of making individual input parts of large coded systems deliberately detachable, non-interdependent, and even invisible from other parts. Yet, if the modular principle meant to ensure that no other part of the system would register an interruption, the diverse intersectional and multi-mediated visibilization tactics—as well as their reverberations through varied web- and street-based spectacles—demonstrate Latin American citizens’ work to interrupt state and neoliberalized applications of the informatic ideal. Emphasizing intersectional participation, global inclusivity, and collaboration for social change instead, citizen tactics propose other informatic ideals that stress human interdependence and coalition over modularity’s stress on detachability, segregation, and non-interdependence. Their efforts echo feminist, postcolonial, and Latin American DH calls for dedicated efforts toward inclusive, intersectional participation within DH—not only to underscore the value of multi-disciplinary social collaboration, but to contend with modularization and the growing risks of neoliberalization within academic projects.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Abstract In addition to sustaining and strengthening the public sphere, government often claims a responsibility, to its citizens, to help sustain and enrich the national identity. As was true with respect to the public sphere, this government interest forces a relationship between the state and the media. In the first chapter, I defined national identity as the collection of myths, ideas, and narratives used by a dominant group or coalition to maintain power in a society. That is a fairly instrumental (and unusual) definition, but it is useful to set against the more appealing, popular, and less cynical uses of the term. The common invocation of national identity forwards the conviction that something is being described at a level of abstraction that all share in common above party or sectarian concern. Behind this second, more romantic view is that American-ness, German-ness, Russian-ness are all proper deeply rooted national identities and each has a unique historic essence. Institutions must be established to protect, nourish, articulate, and perpetuate such identities. Symbolic forms like flags, architecture, works of art, and treasured histories give form to these identities. The public schools, the university, the Church, and the broadcasting organizations are repositories of them as well. If the government supports these symbols and reinforces the ideas behind them, it is often assumed that it is doing so independently of sectarian political expedience.
