How do your communities contribute to and/or challenge white Protestant hegemony and anti-Black racism,xenophobia and anti-Semitism?

Reflective Paper

You will write a reflective paper that compares and contrasts religious and racial prejudice in the 1920s to religious and racial prejudices in the communities of which you are part. How do your communities contribute to and/or challenge white Protestant hegemony and anti-Black racism,xenophobia and anti-Semitism?

By focusing on the communities of which you are part, you will have the opportunity to begin to develop the ability to critically examine your own behavior in regards to diversity, equity, and inclusion concepts.

Before you begin writing your paper, you should make a list of your communities. Don’t just think of physical spaces such as the city of Indianapolis, your workplace, your domicile, or your favorite restaurant or religious congregation, but also of your social networks, your state, your nation, or sports team (go STL Cardinals!). In some cases, your membership in these communities is voluntary. In other cases, it may be coerced. Whatever the case, think of the communities that are important to your life.

Be sure to compose a paragraph in which you include a statement about how the religious and racial prejudices of the 1920s are similar to and/or different from those sustained or challenged by the communities of which you are part. Then, explain how you will prove your thesis, briefly outlining the evidence that you will use. Much of this may be personal observation, but it must be specific and detailed. You are welcome to use pseudonyms in order to protect people’s privacy and avoid any defamation. You should include citations of Gordon’s book, however, as you comparing the 1920s to today.

Your paper should be 1,750 – 2,000 words long.

Write a 5-page (double-spaced) essay, comparing and contrasting the feminist ideologies explored in Angela Davis’s “I Used to Be Your Sweet Mama” and those described in one other text from the syllabus

comparing and contrasting the feminist ideologies

Write a 5-page (double-spaced) essay, comparing and contrasting the feminist ideologies explored in Angela Davis’s “I Used to Be Your Sweet Mama” and those described in one other text from the syllabus (Hurston, Collins, Duncan, Combahee, Griffin, or Lorde). In this paper you must provide analytical readings of the texts. Your paper should identify and define the specific ideologies outlined by each of the authors you discuss, outlining their historical context and significance. Your response should include close analysis of each article, including direct citations to help support your arguments. Be as specific as possible in developing your views and cite particular events, historical moments, scenes, passages, and stylistic effects that support your interpretation (include page numbers in all citations). These essays should be double-spaced, 12-point font, and proof read. Grammatical and spelling mistakes will be penalized.

Here are the 4 things to consider as you put together your draft:

 

1. Choice of evidence (Have you cited relevant passages from the texts under discussion?)
2. Discussion of evidence (Have you engaged in critical analysis of the passages cited?)
3. Organization (Does your argument proceed in a logical manner? Is there a clear explanation for the order in which you have analyzed your evidence?)
4. Thesis (Is there some gesture toward an argument? It’s okay if this is provisional in the draft stage.)

I will attach syllabus here.
