Unraveling bias : [electronic resource] : How prejudice has shaped children for generations and why it's time to break the cycle. by Brown, Christia Spears, PhD.; Dunne, Bernadette.;

Narrator: Bernadette Dunne.It would be easy to fix these problems if the examples stopped with a few racist or sexist individuals, but there are also biases embedded in our government policies, media, and institutions. As a developmental psychologist and international expert on stereotypes and discrimination in children, Dr. Christia Spears Brown knows that biases and prejudice don’t just develop as people become adults (or CEOs or politicians). They begin when children are young, slowly growing and exposed to prejudice in their classrooms, after-school activities, and, yes, even in their homes, no matter how enlightened their parents may consider themselves to be. The only way to have a more just and equitable world—not to mention more broad-minded, empathetic children—is for parents to closely examine biases beginning in childhood and how they infiltrate our kids’ lives.In her new book Unraveling Bias: How Prejudice Has Shaped Children for Generations and Why It's Time to Break the Cycle, Dr. Brown will uncover what scientists have learned about how children are impacted by biases, and how we adults can help protect them from those biases. Part science, part history, part current events, and part call to arms, Unraveling Bias provides readers with the answers to vital questions:   • How do biased policies, schools, and media harm our children?   • Where does childhood prejudice come from, and how do these prejudices shape children’s behavior, goals, relationships, and beliefs about themselves?   • What can we learn from modern-day science to help us protect our children from these biases?Few issues today are as critical as being aware of bias and prejudice all around us and making sure our kids don’t succumb to them. To change lives and advance society, it’s time to unravel our biases—starting with the future leaders of the world.Requires OverDrive Listen (file size: N/A KB) or OverDrive app (file size: 291388 KB).

Between slavery and freedom : free people of color in America from settlement to the Civil War / by Winch, Julie,1953-author.;

Includes bibliographical references and index.Explores the complex world of those people of African birth or descent who occupied the "borderlands" between slavery and freedom in the 350 years from the founding of the first European colonies in what is today the United States to the start of the Civil War. However they had navigated their way out of bondage--through flight, through military service, through self-purchase, through the working of the law in different times and in different places, or because they were the offspring of parents who were themselves free--they were determined to enjoy the same rights and liberties that white people enjoyed. In a concise narrative and selected primary documents, noted historian Julie Winch shows the struggle of black people to gain and maintain their liberty and lay claim to freedom in its fullest sense. Refusing to be relegated to the margins of American society and languish in poverty and ignorance, they repeatedly challenged their white neighbors to live up to the promises of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" enshrined in the Declaration of Independence.--From publisher description.Introduction: On liberty's borderlands -- Property or persons : black freedom in colonial America, 1513-1770 -- In liberty's cause : black freedom in revolutionary America, 1770-1790 -- Race, liberty and citizenship in the new nation, 1790-1820 -- "We will have our rights" : redefining black freedom, 1820-1850 -- "No rights which the white man was bound to respect": black freedom and black citizenship, 1850-1861 -- Epilogue: Black freedom, white freedom.Introduction: On liberty's borderlands ; Timeline -- Property or persons : black freedom in colonial America, 1513-1770 -- In liberty's cause : black freedom in Revolutionary America, 1770-1790 -- Race, liberty and citizenship in the new nation, 1790-1820 -- "We will have our rights" : redefining black freedom, 1820-1850 -- "No rights which the white man was bound to respect": black freedom and black citizenship, 1850-1861 -- Documents: [Laws on black freedom in Colonial Virginia and Massachusetts ; Passing as free (1736-1773) ; Free black people in Colonial Pennsylvania and Rhode Island (1751-1770) ; Free people of color in the South Carolina press (1760-1771) ; Petitioning for freedom in New Hampshire (1779) ; Richard Allen buys his freedom (1780) ; Benjamin Banneker's challenge to Thomas Jefferson (1791) ; African Americans petition Congress (1799) ; Free people of color in New Orleans react to the Louisiana Purchase (1804) ; Black voting rights in New York (1810) ; African-American cultural and religious life in Baltimore (1810) ; Protesting discriminatory legislation in Pennsylvania (1813) ; Protesting African colonization (1817) ; Schooling black children in the nation's capital (1818) ; South Carolina's black code (1822) ; The birth of the black press (1827) ; David Walker on the nature of black freedom (1829) ; An African-American shipowner visits Charleston (ca. 1830) ; Maria W.

Was the Cat in the Hat black? : the hidden racism of children's literature, and the need for diverse books / by Nel, Philip,1969-;

Introduction: Race, racism, and the cultures of childhood -- The strange career of The Cat in the Hat; or, Dr. Seuss's racial imagination -- How to read uncomfortably: Racism, affect, and classic children's books -- Whiteness, nostalgia, and fantastic flying books: William Joyce's racial erasures vs. Hurricane Katrina -- Don't judge a book by its color: The destructive fantasy of whitewashing (and vice-versa) -- Childhoods "outside the boundaries of imagination": Genre is the new Jim Crow -- Conclusion: A manifesto for anti-racist children's literature.Racism is resilient, duplicitous, and endlessly adaptable, so it is no surprise that America is again in a period of civil rights activism. A significant reason racism endures is because it is structural: it's embedded in culture and in institutions. One of the places that racism hides -- and thus perhaps the best place to oppose it -- is books for young people. Philip Nel presents five serious critiques of the history and current state of children's literature tempestuous relationship with both implicit and explicit forms of racism. Nel examines topics both vivid -- such as The Cat in the Hat's roots in blackface minstrelsy -- and more opaque, like how the children's book industry can perpetuate structural racism via whitewashed covers even while making efforts to increase diversity. Rooted in research, Nel delves into years of literary criticism and recent sociological data in order to show a better way forward. Though much of what is proposed here could be endlessly argued, the knowledge that what we learn in childhood imparts both subtle and explicit lessons about whose lives matter is not debatable. The text concludes with a proposal of actions everyone -- reader, author, publisher, scholar, citizen -- can take to fight the biases and prejudices that infect children's literature.Includes bibliographical references (pages 241-262) and index.

My Lai : an American atrocity in the Vietnam War / by Allison, William Thomas.;

Includes bibliographical references (p. [141]-157) and index.Charlie Company and Vietnam -- March 16, 1968 -- Aftermath -- Discovery -- Responsibility -- Legacy.On March 16, 1968, American soldiers killed as many as five hundred Vietnamese men, women, and children in a village near the South China Sea. In this book the author explores and evaluates the significance of this horrific event. How could such a thing have happened? Who (or what) should be held accountable? How do we remember this atrocity and try to apply its lessons, if any? The My Lai massacre has fixed the attention of Americans of various political stripes for more than forty years. The breadth of writing on the massacre, from news reports to scholarly accounts, highlights the difficulty of establishing fact and motive in an incident during which confusion, prejudice, and self-preservation overwhelmed the troops. Son of a Marine veteran of the Vietnam War, and aware that the generation who lived through the incident is aging, the author seeks to ensure that our collective memory of this shameful episode does not fade. This book provides a clear narrative of this historic moment and offers suggestions for how to come to terms with its aftermath.

The inquisitor's tale, or, The three magical children and their holy dog / by Gidwitz, Adam.; Aly, Hatem,illustrator.;

"1242. On a dark night, travelers from across France cross paths at an inn and begin to tell stories of three children. Their adventures take them on a chase through France: they are taken captive by knights, sit alongside a king, and save the land from a farting dragon. On the run to escape prejudice and persecution and save precious and holy texts from being burned, their quest drives them forward to a final showdown at Mont Saint-Michel, where all will come to question if these children can perform the miracles of saints. Join William, an oblate on a mission from his monastery; Jacob, a Jewish boy who has fled his burning village; and Jeanne, a peasant girl who hides her prophetic visions. They are accompanied by Jeanne's loyal greyhound, Gwenforte ... recently brought back from the dead. Told in multiple voices, in a style reminiscent of The Canterbury Tales, our narrator collects their stories and the saga of these three unlikely allies begins to come together. Beloved bestselling author Adam Gidwitz makes his long awaited return with his first new world since his hilarious and critically acclaimed Grimm series. Featuring manuscript illuminations throughout by illustrator Hatem Aly and filled with Adam's trademark style and humor, The Inquisitor's Tale is bold storytelling that's richly researched and adventure-packed."--Publisher's description.Includes bibliographical references (pages 355-363).Newbery Honor, 2017.Newbery Honor Book, 2017.Accelerated Reader AR-ATOSAccelerated ReaderAccelerated Reader ARReading Counts
