As such, they all followed the same set of regulations and laws known as the Laws of the Indies. They allowed Spain to keep reign* over its colonies. One of the included requirements was for the cities to have a grid pattern established around a central plaza. The wealthy lived near the plaza while the poor lived along the outskirts.

Argues for the necessity of a new ethos for middle-class white anti-racism.Building on her book Revealing Whiteness, Shannon Sullivan identifies a constellation of attitudes common among well-meaning white liberals that she sums up as “white middle-class goodness.” She critiques this orientation as being more concerned with establishing anti-racist bona fides than with confronting systematic racism and privilege.Sullivan untangles the complex relationships between class and race in contemporary white identity and outlines four ways this orientation is expressed, each serving to establish one’s lack of racism:* The denigration of lower-class white people as responsible for ongoing white racism* The demonization of antebellum slaveholders* An emphasis on colorblindness, especially in the context of white childrearing* The cultivation of attitudes of white guilt, shame, and betrayalTo move beyond these distancing strategies, Sullivan argues, white people need a new ethos that acknowledges and transforms their whiteness in the pursuit of racial justice rather than seeking a self-righteous distance from it.Shannon Sullivan is Head of the Philosophy Department and Professor of Philosophy, Women’s Studies, and African American Studies at Penn State University. She is the author and editor of many books, including Race and Epistemologies of Ignorance (coedited with Nancy Tuana), also published by SUNY Press. Decaying values. Sexually transmitted diseases.Fatherless homes. Rampant drug use.These aren\'t just problems for today\'s inner cities.It\'s the plight of all America.Much has been said about Bill Cosby\'s incendiary remarks about urban black culture and its dirty laundry. But in this provocative book, Star Parker, one of today\'s most controversial commentators, goes even further, proving that urban plight simply reveals a decay that is gnawing its way throughout American society as a whole.The sexual chaos, values disorientation, and social turmoil we see in our inner cities, Parker argues, is just a magnified reflection of the moral collapse happening all over America: in our schools, our churches, our homes. And this slide toward moral decrepitude is all due to a flagrant dismissal of and assault on America\'s tried-and-true values.With startling statistics and disturbing stories about the increasing secularization and criminalization of the middle class, Parker holds a cracked mirror up to suburbia. Taking on tough subjects such as abortion, drug abuse, sexual politics, and religion, she offers a rousing exploration of the raging cultural war-taking you on a wild, eye-opening tour through the White Ghetto.Star Parker is the founder and president of CURE, the Coalition on Urban Renewal & Education, a nonprofit organization that provides national dialogue on issues of race and poverty in the media, inner city neighborhoods, and public policy. Star is a regular commentator on CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, and the BBC, which reaches 300 million homes worldwide. Her articles and quotes have also appeared in major publications including the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, and the New York Times, and is currently a weekly syndicated columnist for Scripps Howard News Service. Star is the author of Pimps, Whores, and Welfare Brats and Uncle Sam\'s Plantation.
