Описание: Explores the shifts and the research used to support civil rights claims of discrimination, particularly relating to minority youths' rights to equal treatment
In the wake of the civil rights movement, the legal system dramatically changed its response to discrimination based on race, gender, and other characteristics. It is now showing signs of yet another dramatic shift, as it moves from considering difference to focusing on neutrality. Rather than seeking to counter subjugation through special protections for groups that have been historically (and currently) disadvantaged, the Court now adopts a "colorblind" approach. Equality now means treating everyone the same way.
This book explores these shifts and the research used to support civil rights claims, particularly relating to minority youths' rights to equal treatment. It integrates developmental theory with work on legal equality and discrimination, showing both how the legal system can benefit from new research on development and how the legal system itself can work to address invidious discrimination given its significant influence on adolescents--especially those who are racial minorities--at a key stage in their developmental life.
Adolescents, Discrimination, and the Law articulates the need to address discrimination by recognizing and enlisting the law's inculcative powers in multiple sites subject to legal regulation, ranging from families, schools, health and justice systems to religious and community groups. The legal system may champion ideals of neutrality in the goals it sets itself for treating individuals, but it cannot remain neutral in the values it supports and imparts. This volume shows that despite the shift to a focus on neutrality, the Court can and should effectively foster values supporting equality, especially among youth.

Описание: In June, 1671 Jeanne Marguerite Chevalier left France to find a new life in Quebec, as a Fille du Roi (King's Daughter) sent by Louis XIV to help settle the new colony. Arriving two months later, this remarkable woman went on to marry and then outlive three husbands and survive the births of nine children and the deaths of six of them. Impoverished by her first husband, she worked with the second to establish one of the largest landholdings in the region. Her marriage with the third one brought an almost fairy tale ending to her life. Despite an incredible number of challenges, dangers and sorrows, Jeanne was able to create a life for herself and her children that she could never have imagined if she had stayed in France. When she died at the age of 73 in 1716, she left a long line of descendants, including Rene Levesgue, the 23rd Premier of Quebec, the American writer Jack Kerouac, and the author's father.Written by her eighth great grand-daughter 300 years after her death, Jeanne Chevalier Fille du Roi is an engaging story, full of facts, mysteries and unknowns. It's a story of endings and new beginnings. And it's a story of much courage, stamina, will and many choices. Factually and contextually based, it also provides glimpses into everyday life in 17th and early 18th century Quebec as well as many insights into the creation of the unique Quebecois heritage.
Growing up with schizophrenia, young Nicole Levesque thought it was natural. She thought symptoms like hallucinations, bizarre thoughts, and night terrors affected everyone. As a youngster, Nicole had certain compulsions she found difficult to ignore. She wanted to rock back and forth in a chair or walk round and round in circles, to calm down and feel safe. Her parents and teachers did not know how to deal with her. Her peers shied away from her and as a result, Nicole often ended up lonely and confused.Her problems continued into adulthood, when the depression and paranoia were almost too much to bear. It took many years of actively fighting her delusions before Nicole finally discovered the truth about her mental illness.Nicole is now an active member of a community that works toward better mental health. In Somewhere in the Dark Recesses, she shares her story and those of friends from Schizophrenics Anonymous, giving readers an even wider perspective of the highs and lows of living with mental illness. The journeys forward are inspiring, and Nicole hopes that anyone living with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or other mental illnesses finds hope and comfort in her writing and the knowledge that you are not alone.
