"The Social Gospel movement developed in a time of intense urbanization and industrialization. The social context, generated by economic and political mishandlings, generated social pressure, poverty, and abuse, mainly on the poor and working classes. The Social Gospel movement tried to address the issues by applying Christian principles to social structures, as a result of political and economic changes. The promoters of the movement aligned their view of the ideal society with the eschatological perspective of premillennialism. They argued that a society that eliminates social evil is the Kingdom of God fulfilled. The movement managed to draw attention to social injustice, and it even managed to offer several productive means of alleviating the social evils it fought against. Despite its positive effects, the movement was criticized for failing to address issues such as race and gender. In this paper, the aim is to offer an introductory description of the Social Gospel movement, as it was described in various critical writings. Keywords: Social Gospel, race, gender, social evil, Kingdom of God "

Although Aida Overton Walker (1880–1914) belonged to the same generation of turn-of-the-century African American performers as did Bob Cole, J. Rosamond Johnson, Bert Williams, and George Walker, she had a rather different view of how best to represent her race and gender in the performing arts. Walker taught white society in New York City how to do the Cakewalk, a celebratory dance with links to West African festival dance. In Walker's choreography of it, it was reconfigured with some ingenuity to accommodate race, gender, and class identities in an era in which all three were in flux. Her strategy depended on being flexible, on being able to make the transition from one cultural milieu to another, and on adjusting to new patterns of thinking. Walker had to elaborate her choreography as hybrid, merging her interpretation of cakewalking with the preconceptions of a white culture that became captivated by its form. To complicate matters, Walker's choreography developed during a particularly unstable and volatile period. As Anna Julia Cooper remarked in 1892.

Abstract The aim of this paper is to examine the functionality of impoliteness strategies as rhetorical devices employed by acclaimed African American and White hip-hop artists. It focuses on the social and artistic function of the key discursive element of hip-hop, namely aggressive language. The data for this paper comprise songs of US African American and White performers retrieved from the November 2017 ‘TOP100 Chart’ for international releases on Spotify.com. A cursory look at the sub-corpora (Black male/ Black female/ White male/ White female artists’ sub-corpus) revealed the prominence of the ‘use taboo words’ impoliteness strategy. The analysis of impoliteness instantiations by considering race and gender as determining factors in the lyrics selection process unveiled that both male groups use impoliteness strategies more frequently than female groups. It is also suggested that Black male and White female singers employ impoliteness to resist oppression, offer a counter-narrative about their own experience and self (re)presentation and reinforce in group solidarity.

American Labor

For more than a generation, as the authors rightly point out, the impact of organized labor on electoral politics has been neglected in scholarly literature. Indeed, only a tiny minority of social scientists explicitly focuses on organized labor in the United States. Although the impact of the social movements of the 1960s appeared to heighten awareness of the importance of class, race, and gender, class and its organized expression, the union movement, has received less attention, while studies of race and gender have flourished.

Walter Rauschenbusch

While it is true that the social gospel of Walter Rauschenbusch is more than the religious strain of the progressive movement, there is no doubt that he sought a christianized social order, one in “harmony with the ethical convictions which we identify with Christ.” And he was much concerned with the Kingdom of God, the “growing perfection in the collective life of humanity, in our laws, in the customs of society, in the institutions for education, and of the administration of mercy.”

Service Interactions

This study examined the effects of customer race (i.e., Caucasian, African American, Hispanic, and Asian), gender (i.e., female and male), and attire (i.e., business and casual) on servers’ tip expectations and service intentions. The results indicate that customers in business attire are perceived as better tippers and targeted for better treatment than customers in casual attire. However, this main effect of attire was qualified by significant interactions with race and gender. The positive effects of business (vs. casual) attire were greater for African Americans than for Caucasians and for males than for females. The implications of these findings for the training and monitoring of restaurant servers are discussed.

RESUMO Há uma estreita relação das mulheres com a produção de alimentos, suscitando debates acerca dessa relação, dentre elas uma suposta propensão a realizar determinados trabalhos na cozinha por associação com estereótipos ligados ao gênero feminino, como é o caso da confeitaria. O principal objetivo, portanto, foi analisar a associação entre a figura feminina e a área de confeitaria profissional. O trabalho discutiu questões de gênero e construção da mulher, passando pelo machismo na cozinha profissional e a relação da mulher com a confeitaria. A partir da análise do conteúdo de entrevistas realizadas com sete profissionais da área de cozinha e confeitaria, verificou-se questões relativas à divisão sexual do trabalho, raça e gênero, associação do homem confeiteiro à homossexualidade, discutidos com base em conceitos de Pierre Bourdieu, como o poder simbólico, a violência simbólica e o habitus. Observou-se uma associação estereotipada de gênero, reconhecendo-se a necessidade de uma remodelação dessas relações de representação feminina na área de gastronomia profissional.Palavras-chave: Confeitaria.

<p class="abstract">O texto descreve e analisa a obra <em>Um defeito de cor </em>(2006), da brasileira Ana Maria Gonçalves, considerado um dos livros mais importantes da literatura do século XXI. A ideia é demonstrar, por meio das memórias de Kahinde/Luísa, uma mulher negra, ex-escrava, cega e à beira da morte, como a atual literatura produzida por escritoras afrodescendentes, ao plasmar em suas obras um modelo original de raça e de gênero, permite explorar a história sob um ângulo diferente daquele usualmente adotado pela literatura tradicional, possibilitando novas representações valorativas e a superação de estereótipos preconceituosos e excludentes relacionados com raça e gênero. A obra em análise, por transcender as narrativas tradicionais e ser portadora de mensagens capazes de traduzir desejos de valorização, superação de condições concretas de existência e de emancipação de pessoas oprimidas, abre caminho para descentralizar os discursos conservadores que fomentaram, historicamente, estereótipos preconceituosos e invisibilizaram as identidades de indivíduos negros e as lutas para conquistar direitos historicamente negados. Consideramos que esta literatura histórica contemporânea e crítica é capaz de se converter em um poderoso mecanismo de luta em favor do reconhecimento social da raça negra, particularmente da mulher.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Palavras-chave</strong>: Literatura de mulheres negras - histórias de escravas - reconhecimento social de negras.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p class="abstract">The text describes and analyzes the work Um defeito de Cor (2006) by the Brazilian author Ana Maria Gonçalves, considered one of the most important books of 21st century Brazilian literature. The idea is to demonstrate, through the memories of Kahinde / Luisa, a black woman, ex-slave, blind and on the verge of death, how the current literature produced by Afro-descendant women writers, by translating into their works an original model of race and gender, allows us to explore history from a different angle than those models usually adopted in traditional literature, making possible new representations of value and overcoming biased and exclusionary stereotypes related to race and gender.  By transcending traditional narratives, carrying messages capable of translating desires for valorization and overcoming the concrete conditions of existence and emancipation of oppressed people, the literary work under analysis paves the way for decentralizing conservative discourses that historically fostered prejudiced stereotypes and made invisible the identities of black people and their struggles to conquer historically denied rights. We consider that this historical and critical literature can become a powerful mechanism of struggle in favor of the social recognition of the black race, particularly women.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Keywords</strong>: Black women literature - slave stories - black people - social recognition.</p>

ork Age, Atlanta Voice, The Atlantic and others. Materials from early newspapers were taken from the New York Times official archives. The presented research aims, among other things, to identify the social factors that affect certain politically taboo vocabulary units in relation to the black population in America, how the environment and social events have influenced the politically correct language. The following analysis has identified the most frequently tabooed lexical units for a given period of time and the frequency of their occurrence in American public opinion at different time intervals. The article provides concrete examples of language changes at the morphological and lexical level as a response to an existing social demand in society, such as combating discrimination on the grounds of race and gender in public space, in employment or in personal interaction, combating xenophobia and segregation at the level of politically correct language. Projections, concerning the derivation in ethically appropriate language, are made on the basis of the obtained data about the future development vector of political correctness indicators.
