PDF-(READ)-Race Decoded: The Genomic Fight for Social Justice

In 2000 with the success of the Human Genome Project scientists declared the death of race in biology and medicine But within five years many of these same scientists had reversed course and embarked upon a new hunt for the biological meaning of race Drawing on personal interviews and life stories Race Decoded takes us into the world of elite genome scientistsincluding Francis Collins director of the NIH Craig Venter the first person to create a synthetic genome and Spencer Wells National Geographic Society explorerinresidence among othersto show how and why they are formulating new ways of thinking about raceIn this original exploration Catherine Bliss reveals a paradigm shift both at the level of science and society from colorblindness to racial consciousness Scientists have been fighting older understandings of race in biology while simultaneously promoting a new grandscale program of minority inclusion In selecting research topics or considering research design scientists routinely draw upon personal experience of race to push the public to think about race as a biosocial entity and even those of the most privileged racial and social backgrounds incorporate identity politics in the scientific process Though individual scientists may view their positions differentlywhether as a black civil rights activist or a white bench scientistall stakeholders in the scientific debates are drawing on memories of racial discrimination to fashion a sciencebased activism to fight for social justice.

Provides geographic perspectives and approaches for use in assessing the distribution of environmental health hazards and disease outcomes among disadvantaged population groups. This book informs readers about the geography and emergent health risks that accompany the location of these hazards, with emphasis on vulnerable population groups. Throughout his distinguished and influential career, David Harvey has defined and redefined the relationship between politics, capitalism, and the social aspects of geographical theory. Laying out Harvey’s position that geography could not remain objective in the face of urban poverty and associated ills, Social Justice and the City is perhaps the most widely cited work in the field.Harvey analyzes core issues in city planning and policy—employment and housing location, zoning, transport costs, concentrations of poverty—asking in each case about the relationship between social justice and space. How, for example, do built-in assumptions about planning reinforce existing distributions of income? Rather than leading him to liberal, technocratic solutions, Harvey’s line of inquiry pushes him in the direction of a “revolutionary geography,” one that transcends the structural limitations of existing approaches to space. Harvey’s emphasis on rigorous thought and theoretical innovation gives the volume an enduring appeal. This is a book that raises big questions, and for that reason geographers and other social scientists regularly return to it. Well Informed. New to Racial Justice. Introductory level involvement.
