dc.description.abstract | This paper incorporates various sources, especially the ethnography Righteous
Dopefiend, in order to analyze mainstream culpability in the suffering of vulnerable
populations. It does so by seeking to draw to attention certain exclusions of
information regarding the suffering of others and by calling attention to the systemic
forces which affect this suffering. Specifically, this paper explores the topic
of systemic exclusion in the Kansas City greater metropolitan area. It analyzes
the development of racial segregation in the city and the forces which created
it. It discusses the topics of gentrification, segregation, ghettoization, homelessness
and the exclusion of vulnerable populations in public places in relation to
Kansas City and Righteous Dopefiend. This paper seeks to develop the connection
between our ideologies and actions and our contribution to the suffering of
disenfranchised people. | eng |
