	Hello [Firstname] [Surname], Thank you for reading GreaterDiversity.com Enews. Here are your GD eNews updates for May 2003. The Business Of Prison By Anna Mundow The Smoking Gun: Measuring Racial Bias Black & Hispanic Contractors Unite Strengthening the International Women's Movement Bridging Identities Among MinorityYouth in Schools Visit National Black Family Empowerment Agenda The Business Of Prison By Anna Mundow Today’s prison population is 49 percent black and 18 percent Hispanic. That statistic represents one of the largest migrations in American history: of young urban men, mostly belonging to minorities, to new prisons. Today approximately 1.8 million Americans are behind bars. What drives this headlong rush towards the unimaginable? Prison is no longer just a crime and punishment business, it is a money business.[FULL_TEXT] The Smoking Gun: Measuring Racial Bias By Paul Street, The Black Commentator Chicago, IL -- To better understand the role of race in hiring, the LAF conducted matched-pair testing of employment opportunities for blacks in entry-level managerial positions in retail firms in the Chicago suburbs. Their black and white job seekers all had the appropriate qualifications and experience for the positions they sought, and none of them faced any transportation obstacles. Thus, their study made race, and not skills or space, the salient difference between black and white job-seekers. The results suggest that the deck still remains stacked against blacks. [FULL_TEXT] Black & Hispanic Contractors Unite Dallas, TX -- For years, Black and Hispanic contract workers have testified of distressing clashes when individually going out to acquire contracts from major public or private construction projects. Both sides have accused prime contractors of pitting minority sub-contractors against each other or having them fight over an extremely small percentage of project dollars. “We’re here to increase both the quality and quantity,” said Trevino. “We’re here to unite to help us create better conditions, not only for our communities but our families. We’re establishing the type of relationship that will be an example not only for other cities, but for our state and hopefully our nation.” [FULL_TEXT] Strengthening the International Women's Movement Ontario, Canada -- International economic policies and practices are creating more poverty. Women and children have been hardest hit. Women are responding as best they can – some are taking low-paying jobs, for example in the free-trade zone sweat shops; some are migrating in search of employment; and many have joined, or been forced into, the sex trade or been married off in return for money or material goods. [FULL_TEXT] Bridging Identities Among Minority Youth in Schools By Christine J. Yeh & Christopher Drost, ERIC Clearinghouse on Urban Education New York, NY New York -- This article examines the nature of multiple identities among ethnic minority youth and the ways they bridge competing and conflicting messages about cultural ways of being. It also discusses how the school environment contributes to student internalization of various identities and how practitioners may assist youth in developing positive multifaceted self-concepts that contribute to their social-emotional development and self-esteem in school.
