everyday racism Quick reference
A Dictionary of Human Resource Management (3 ed.)
...everyday racism is a term coined by Dutch sociologist Philomena Essed to express the recurrent, systematic, and familiar practices within society which act to the disadvantage of ethnic minorities. Rather than the exceptional incidents of racism—such as the racist attack—everyday racism describes recurrent and often seemingly small practices (looks, gestures, comments, and actions) which permeate society and cumulatively disadvantage ethnic minorities. Such practices infiltrate organizational life and become seen as normal by organizational members. The...

...governments insist on democratization in the Muslim world but in their actions support repressive dictatorships for fear that authentically Muslim governments will themselves be antidemocratic. The perception that Islamic states threaten democracy are baseless and border on racism. Jan urges his audience to establish a “modern Islamic republic,” which will be characterized by an effective separation of the four branches of government (the legislature, the executive, the courts, and the media), ensuring the conformity of laws with the shari‘ah , and...

...hostile to democracy. Rather it contains ten cornerstones, or basic building blocks, by which the foundation of an Islamic democracy can be put into place. The counter argument, which assumes a singular, genetic flaw in Muslims with regard to democracy, qualifies as postmodern racism. One might just as well dismiss the French as essentially unfit for democracy, considering their motley collection of five republics, two empires, two monarchies and a Communist commune over as little as 200 years. A sounder argument to make is not based on myth: alas, as a...

...race and racism and the impact they have on teaching and learning. The rights to use and to enjoyment are one criterion that moves whiteness beyond the realm of an aspect of identity to a resource that wields some social, political, and institutional power ( Harris, 1993 ). This aspect of whiteness as property can be readily observed in everyday life, but within research on racism in teacher education, the rights to use and enjoyment are often deployed as escape mechanisms by white teacher candidates who resist or reject the endemic nature of racism. Their...

... ( 1940 ) to the minorities they encounter is often blunt and crude. Nevertheless, such responses may speak less of the authors' racism than of their efforts to create characters who reflect a gritty reality. As the twentieth century advanced, mystery writers began not only to reflect society's racism but to dissect it. Contemporary writers seem to be more sensitive than their predecessors to not only glaring acts of racism but to more subtle examples. In Bootlegger's Daughter ( 1992 ), Margaret Maron has her liberal characters observe and comment on...
