Show moreBetween 1920 and 2007, approximately one hundred articles and essays, twenty monographs, and six anthologies have been published on the intriguing relationship between Black and Jewish Americans. This body of scholarship is dense, wide-reaching, analytically sound, and is often times a reflection of changes in American history and society. This essay critically surveys the significant scholarship published on the relationships between African Americans and Jewish Americans during the twentieth century. This comprehensive historiography serves as a tool for exploring how various historical interactions between Blacks and Jews were influenced by the rules, conventions, and protocols of a broader American culture. By critically studying the intersection between race, class, economics, politics, education, and identity formation, I am better able to assess historical interactions between African Americans and Jewish Americans. Looking at the associations between these two historically marginalized groups we can better understand the implications of categories such as ethnicity on intercultural coalition building and how we can overcome barriers that have strained and divided Black-Jewish relations.

Show moreIn this dissertation, I examine the social inclusion higher education policies and programs, targeted toward Afro-Brazilians, which are currently being implemented in Brazil. Through document analysis and stakeholder interviews, I analyze the broader Brazilian socio-historical context surrounding the policies, as well as the policy trajectory to date. Additionally, I use conceptual frameworks to analyze the policy landscape at the federal, university, and community levels. Utilizing a social inclusion ideology framework (Gidley, Hampson, Wheeler, & Bereded-Samuel, 2010), I establish the ideologies that are embedded in the policies and programs. I also explore the policy approaches and tools used to promote social inclusion through the use of the conceptual frameworks of Hopenhayn (2008) and McDonnell and Elmore (1987). This study contributes to the social inclusion policy literature concerned with the ongoing development of racially inclusive societies in Latin America as well as the use of education policy as a democratization tool.
