No Justice for Guatemalan Women: an Update Twenty Years after Guatemala's First Violence Against Women Law |
29 Hastings Women's Law Journal 101 (Winter, 2018) |
A culture of violence and impunity pervades all of Guatemalan society today, harboring an environment in which patriarchal repression is the norm. Violence against women and children is no new concept in Latin America and is anchored on broad notions of patriarchy throughout the region; however, the thirty-six-year long internal armed conflict,...; Search Snippet: ...Women's Law Journal Winter, 2018 Article No Justice for Guatemalan Women: an Update Twenty Years after Guatemala's First Violence Against Women Law Héctor Ruiz [Fna1] Copyright © 2018 by Uc Hastings College... |

Normalizing the Recognition of Implicit Bias as a Precursor to Normalizing Blackness: the Jsu Advance Implicit Bias Think Tank--mitigating Implicit Bias Against Black Female Faculty in Stem at Hbcus in the Deep South, and Other Groups More Broadly |
12 Southern Journal of Policy and Justice Just. 3 (Fall, 2018) |
Blackness is routinely considered as being outside the norm of America and more specifically, outside the norm of whiteness. As a result, blackness is feared, despised, scrutinized, and underrated--to use just a few verbs. Some bias against blackness was quite overt in the past.
