"Racism, Culture, Markets" explores the connections between cultural representations of "race" and their historical, institutional and global forms of expression and impact. John Gabriel examines the current fixation with market place philosophies in terms of the crisis in anti-racist politics and concern over questions of cultural identity. He explores issues such as the continuing relevance of terms like "black" as a basis for self definition; the need to think about identities in more fluid and complex ways, and the need to develop a much more explicit discussion of the construction of whiteness and white identities. "Racism, Culture, and Markets" brings together a range of historical and contemporary case studies including the Rushdie affair; the Gulf War; debates about fostering, adoption and domestic violence; separate schooling; the service economy and its employment practices; tourism in the Third World; the Bhopal chemical disaster; and racism in the new Europe. His case studies also consider the role played by contemporary media and popular culture in these debates, including film, television, music and the press.

Whitewash: Racialized Politics and the Media

By putting the language used in television, the radio, the internet and press, as well as that spoken by key leaders, under the spotlight, what is ultimately revealed is the existence of a 'white' language, both coded and overt. Taking specific examples and presenting new factual evidence, John Gabriel studies the racial politics that lie behind much of the communication in the public arena. Case studies draw on contemporary political controversies and are used to explore the relationship between racialised forms of media discourse and political and economic change.

By putting the language used in television, the radio, the internet and press, as well as that spoken by key leaders, under the spotlight, what is ultimately revealed is the existence of a 'white' language, both coded and overt. Taking specific examples and presenting new factual evidence, John Gabriel studies the racial politics that lie behind much of the communication in the public arena. Case studies draw on contemporary political controversies and are used to explore the relationship between racialised forms of media discourse and political and economic change.

Reviewing cutting-edge debates around racial politics and the culture and economy of globalization, this book draws together a wide range of important contemporary debates in a clear and concise way for undergraduate students.   Far from concluding that racism is over, the authors contend that the forces of globalization inhabit older cultures of racial division in order to safeguard the economic interests of the privileged. Arguing that the unspoken culture of whiteness informs much that passes in the name of globalization, the book suggests that we are witnessing a reformulation of economic relations around global racisms. Alongside these shifts in economic relations, racialized identities evolve to encompass mixed heritages and mixed cultures both in personal identities and in lifestyle choices.  This is one of the few texts that concentrates on the theory of race rather than politics. It looks at race in global terms, and at 'whiteness' as a part of ethnic studies.

The General Electric Company, with one of its main plants in Schenectady, began experimental broadcasts in conjunction with Union College in the early 1900s. When WGY officially began broadcasting in February 1922, General Electric started a long and storied history of pioneering radio technology and programming that set the pace for worldwide broadcast development. Capital Region Radio pioneer WGY provided entertainment and news nationally during World War II, WTRY kept listeners updated during the blackout of 1965, and WOKO introduced rock and roll to the area. Thousands of schoolchildren from Utica and Pittsfield woke on snowy winter mornings to hear WGY’s Bill Edwardsen read the school closing announcements, and listeners enjoyed entertainment from Boom Boom Brannigan and Don Weeks. Capital Region Radio: 1920–2011 offers a glimpse into the programs and personalities of local radio from its early days to recent years.

I was diagnosed with stage three colon cancer which was quickly spreading through my body. I was told that if I did not have an operation to remove the tumor that I would surely die. However, if I consented to have the operation I would have had to wear a colostomy bag. I was afraid of the outcome and refused. Besides, there was no guarantee of success. It was all chance taking. I decided against the operation and opted to use cannabis oil and essiac tea. I was not sure if they would cure me but I went for it. Within three months my cancer had vanished. I did, however, have a short bout of chemo and radiation which made me very sick and both of these treatments are cancer-causing (carcinogenic). Two years later, I am doing just fine and I am not wearing a colostomy bag and I am cancer free. When I was diagnosed, I felt that I had been given a death sentence. I knew the fear, the despondency, the meaning of life's finality. It was all very bad. Please, if you have cancer or know someone, no matter the stage, please look into to the wonders of cannabis oil and essiac tea. They might just do the job for you. They did for me. My book tells my story, my fear, and sadness. It also gives many links to video programs about "Big Pharma" and the billions they make each year on selling cancer-causing treatments--chemo and radiation with little success. Also links to videos for all-purpose good health and practices including testimonials of other cancer survivors. Both these substances, cannabis oil and essiac tea, are now making huge inroads into treating and curing cancer and gaining that well-deserved recognition. Many years ago, "Big Pharma" with the help of the FDA and corrupted medical and political figures blocked all natural remedies that stood in competition to their profit making and gave the name of holistic medicine to "quackery". Money is their business--not you. You are seen as pure profit, nothing else. Learn well what is available to you to cure any illness. Take responsibility for your own health and just in that one step you will feel so much better on the way to a complete recovery. Nature heals any disease. If our body gives us a sickness, it can also cure it. Best wishes, good health and a long and happy life. John Gabriel
