Document Summary
Oppression - structural or institutional constraints on self-development, realization, and its means (i. e. equal education, health care) Domination - institutional or structural constraints on self-determination. Resulting denial of voice and recognition in decisions that affect our lives (i. e. voting rights, formal representation, influence) Felon disenfranchisement relates to domination because it results in denial of voice and representation by ex-felons. Because there is a larger percentage of the black voting age population that has been disenfranchised than the white voting age population, this reduces black influence on politics. De jure period officially recognizes white supremacy as part of racial contract. De facto period unrecognizes racial contract so that the social contract extends to everyone, not just whites. Linemann and wall study the rural war on drugs as a case of governing race through crime. The mug shot shows psychological and emotional character without outside context (cultural, political, economic context)
