Title: Chapter 8 Question 22

22) How do the Jim Crow laws affect the civil rights of African Americans?

Feedback:Jim Crow laws: sets of laws that codified the oppression of formerly enslaved African Americans in the southern states. After the Civil War, African Americans gained emancipation, but they were not equal, segregation and discrimination were still in place. A landmark decision made by the U.S. Supreme Court (1896) called Plessey v. Ferguson “separate but equal” formally segregated African Americans into second-class status. The consequences of slavery and its aftermath are a part of the collective memory and culture of the community. In a culturally grounded approach, social workers can honor the history of African Americans by implementing interventions that work with African American families, traditions, struggles and resiliency.

Title: Chapter 8 Question 23

23) What is the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA)?

Feedback:The Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA), enacted only in 1978, protects Native American children in need of homes from placement with non-Native adoptive and foster homes (Hand, 2006). Forty years later, in 2018, many tribes from across the United States gathered to celebrate ICWA and its relevant impact on preserving Native families. Although ICWA established minimum federal standards and its enactment happened in the 1970s, it is under attack as an illegal act that is unconstitutional. One argument against ICWA is that it imposes race-based mandates and prohibitions that make it harder for states to protect Native American children against abuse and that make it extraordinarily difficult for them to find the loving, permanent, adoptive homes they often need

24) Why is #BlackLivesMatter (#BLM) important for the United States and the world?

Feedback:According to Patrisse Cullors, “#BLM is a call to action. A tool to reimagine a world where Black people are free to live and exist. #BLM offers a new vision for young Black girls and boys around the world that we deserve to be fought for, that we deserve to call on local government to show up for us.” Since 2013, #BLM has strived to become an intersectional movement, which includes Black men and women as well as queer and transgender individuals.

Title: Chapter 8 Question 25

25) How was the Chicano Movement or El Movimiento pivotal for the Latinx community?

Feedback:Some of the main goals of the Chicano Movement or El Movimiento were to strengthen the ethnic identity and pride of Mexican Americans and to advance a civil rights agenda aimed at ending discrimination and promoting equality in jobs, housing, and education (Chávez, 2002). Although in some communities, the word Chicano has lost its connection to the Chicano Movement and people use it as a synonym for Mexican American, the term “Chicano” continues to signify a more defiant approach to ethnic pride and identity.

Title: Chapter 8 Question 26

26) How can we interpret from a culturally grounded perspective the phrase “model minority” often used to describe Asian Americans?

Feedback:The model minority stereotype aims at describing Asian Americans as smart, hard-working, overachievers, and rich. This stereotype overlooks the diversity that exists within the Asian American community. On one hand could lead to overlooking or underserving vulnerable communities. On the other hand, it puts excessive pressure on young people to overachieve, which can have negative physical and mental health consequences. Racism is something that still exists today and social workers are still dealing with it. We need to examine it from all points of view and applying an interdisciplinary approach. Working in partnership with communities, we need to identify and work through racist stereotypes of all kinds even the so-called “positive stereotypes.”
