Social Identity

If anyone knows what it takes to marshal the power needed to become a champion, Bruce Jenner does. His dramatic decathlon victory earned him a gold medal, a new world record, and America's heart. In Finding The Champion Within, Jenner offers the formula that he developed and lived by to anyone who seeks to harness their maximum potential and to become a champion themselves.

The Plot to Change America exposes the myths that help identity politics perpetuate itself. This book reveals what has really happened, explains why it is urgent to change course, and offers a strategy to do so. Though we should not fool ourselves into thinking that it will be easy to eliminate identity politics, we should not overthink it, either. Identity politics relies on the creation of groups and then on giving people incentives to adhere to them. If we eliminate group making and the enticements, we can get rid of identity politics.

Argentina's coup d'tat in 1976 led to one of the bloodiest dictatorships in its history - 30,000 people were abducted, tortured, and subsequently "disappeared". And hundreds of babies born to pregnant political prisoners were stolen from their doomed mothers and given to families with military ties or who were collaborators of the regime. "Anala" was one of those children, raised without suspecting that she was adopted.

Our truth is greater than the facts presented by the condition, greater than the adversity from the enemy, and greater than self-doubt. The reconnect is for the sake of reconstruction, and ultimately reintroduction of the sons of Adam to their assignments in the Earth.

What does it mean to be Muslim in India? What does it mean to look like one's religion? Does one's faith determine how one is perceived? Is there a secular ideal one is supposed to live up to? Can people of different faiths have a shared culture, a shared identity? But You Don't Look Like a Muslim is a work that every thinking Indian must hear.

¿Es la política de la identidad una amenaza o una contribución en las sociedades modernas? Carlos Peña pone el concepto y el debate al respecto en tensión.

Este libro es una reflexión crítica sobre la cultura mexicana contemporánea. Se han elegido los lugares comunes del carácter del mexicano: se trata de un manojo de estereotipos codificados por la intelectualidad, pero cuyas huellas se reproducen en la sociedad, provocando el espejismo de una cultura popular de masas. Estas imágenes sobre "lo mexicano" no son reflejo de la conciencia popular (suponiendo, cosa que se duda, que dicha conciencia exista como entidad única y homogénea).

Ersula J. Ore scrutinizes the civic roots of lynching, the relationship between lynching and white constitutionalism, and contemporary manifestations of lynching discourse and logic today. From the 1880s onward, lynchings, she finds, manifested a violent form of symbolic action that called a national public into existence, denoted citizenship, and upheld political community.

No one has failed to notice that the current generation of youth is deeply - some would say totally - involved with digital media. Professors Howard Gardner and Katie Davis name today’s young people The App Generation, and in this spellbinding book they explore what it means to be “app-dependent” versus “app-enabled” and how life for this generation differs from life before the digital era.

Come e quando ci si scopre gay e lesbiche? Cosa vuol dire omosessualità nelle altre culture? E cosa accade nelle specie animali?

Group dynamics can be based on the simplest forms of physical and cultural distinctions, and those who don't quite fit the mold of a group can feel like outsiders. The reality is none of us fit into a box. We're all unique with a mixed background—socially, culturally, experientially. For some of us, like Eli Bonilla Jr., we are also mixed ethnically. No one person is an identical copy of anyone else. In Mixed, Eli questions the basis of unity and inclusion and explores the multiple components of our identity.

Growing up in the only Korean family in a Minnesota town, Michelle Lee-Barnewall has felt the pain of racial discrimination and the resulting identity confusion that follows.

Doch ob diese Entscheidung auch dem Geschlecht entspricht, dem sich ein Mensch zugehörig fühlt, stellt sich erst später heraus. Manchmal bereits im Kindesalter, manchmal aber auch erst Jahre später, wenn Betroffenen klar wird, dass sie beispielsweise kein Mann sind, obwohl in ihrer Geburtsurkunde männlich steht.

Since the beginning of humanity, people have recognized the distinct creation of the male and female gender in God's design. But with today's gender revolution, people are increasingly questioning who they are designed to be. In our society, gender identity has been divorced from biology and rerooted in psychology. Do the core teachings of the Bible uphold these modern ideas?

Com seu estilo franco e certeiro, Ruth Manus mostra que expandir a conversa sobre o machismo, convidando para o papo as pessoas que ainda não têm familiaridade com o assunto, é mais do que necessário: é urgente. Deixando claro que um audiolivro contra o machismo não é um audiolivro contra os homens, que não são só os homens que têm atitudes machistas e que reconhecer o próprio machismo—e lutar contra ele—é um ato de coragem, Ruth nos guia no caminho da conscientização e nos convida a mudar comportamentos, discursos e, em última instância, o próprio mundo.

Greg Bottoms writes about growing up white and working class in Tidewater, Virginia, during school desegregation in the 1970s. He offers brief stories that accumulate to reveal the everyday experience of living inside complex, systematic racism that is often invisible to economically and politically disenfranchised white southerners - people who have benefited from racism in material ways while being damaged by it, he suggests, psychologically and spiritually.
