"This book contrasts two approaches to antiracist theory and practice. The first emphasizes racial identity to the exclusion of political economy. This approach's prevalence, in the academy and beyond, now rises to the level of established doctrine. The second approach views racial identity as the function of a particular political economy-what is called "racial capitalism"-and therefore analytically subordinates racial identity to political economy. The book develops arguments in favor of the second approach. It does so by employing an extended analysis of two case studies: a Chinese migrant settlement in the Delta Mississippi (1868-1969) and a religious base community in the Bayview/Hunters Point section of San Francisco (1969-present). While focused on groups and persons (i.e., the Delta Chinese and Redeemer Community Church) the book more broadly examines racial capitalism's processes and commitments (i.e., the Delta Chinese business model and Redeemer's "deep economy") at the sites of their structural and systemic unfolding. Constructively, the book proposes reframing antiracism in terms of a theologically salient account of political economy. In pursuing a research agenda that pushes beyond the narrow confines of racial identity, the book reaches back to trusted modes of analysis that have been obscured by the prevailing antiracist orthodoxy. Approaching race through political economy will not get at everything that racism is, and does, but it gets at what can be managed, and in the last resort lived. Accordingly, the book invites readers into a different life with race and racism, reimagining what they are and are doing"--

"Many Americans are still haunted by the Vietnam War. Because memories of Vietnam were too difficult to bear, others made the fateful decision to forget entirely. But how - and why - does one choose to remember moral catastrophe? And is it ever ethical to simply forget?" "This unique work develops a theological analysis of the American war in Vietnam, constructing a Christian account of memory in relation to the events that unfolded during the course of this long and tragic conflict. In doing so, it reveals broader insights about history, memory, and redemption. Combining the theological categories of time and eternity, Tran reflects upon two central questions: How might Christians theological understand the Vietnam War; and why and how might Christians remember the horrors perpetrated there?"--Jacket

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had significant mental health impacts among healthcare workers (HCWs), related to resource scarcity, risky work environments, and poor supports. Understanding the unique challenges experienced by senior doctors and identifying strategies for support will assist doctors facing such crises into the future. A cross-sectional, national, online survey was conducted during the second wave of the Australian COVID-19 pandemic. Inductive content analysis was used to examine data reporting workplace and psychosocial impacts of the pandemic. Of 9518 responses, 1083 senior doctors responded to one or more free-text questions. Of the senior doctors, 752 were women and 973 resided in Victoria. Four themes were identified: (1) work-life challenges; (2) poor workplace safety, support, and culture; (3) poor political leadership, planning and support; and (4) media and community responses. Key issues impacting mental health included supporting staff wellbeing, moral injury related to poorer quality patient care, feeling unheard and undervalued within the workplace, and pandemic ill-preparedness. Senior doctors desired better crisis preparedness, HCW representation, greater leadership, and accessible, authentic psychological wellbeing support services from workplace organisations and government. The pandemic has had significant impacts on senior doctors. The sustainability of the healthcare system requires interventions designed to protect workforce wellbeing.
