Two Essay topics:

In a post-industrial America, wherein the job market is on a steady decline, what are some of the institutional/systemic disadvantages, suffered by racialized groups, primarily Blacks and Hispanics, in America? Be detailed…I am not interested in generalities…include Kozol (environment racism, the ends of a long process of a structural inequality), Alexander (the war on drugs, mass incarceration and their deep racial dimention), and the discussions that we had on controlling narrative and representational production. Please prepare at least three examples.

2. Patriarchy (misogyny) is a continuing problem in our histories, add to this racism, and you have an intersection of oppression….Give me a description based on the readings of the legacy of oppression of black women and how it continues today. Please prepare more than two examples.
