Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book combines history, sociology, psychology and educational policy in research on a 40-year, crucial phase of development of ethnic identity, ethnic relations and educational and social policies for children in England, from pre-school to secondary school. The authors show how nursery children of different ethnicities interact in beginning their identity journeys in a culture of both inequality, and evolving ethnic relationships and patterns of harmony, in Britain’s developing multicultural society. In looking at self-concept development in secondary school children through the lens of various kinds of child maltreatment, Alice Sawyerr and Christopher Bagley argue that ethnic minority children are psychological survivors, and African-Caribbean girls especially are making strong identity steps – it is the “poor whites” who will make up the precariat, the reserve army of labour, who are left behind in structures of inequality.

Book excerpt: Multicultural Riddle is a comprehensive exploration of all the issues that shape our search for a multicultural society. The book examines how we can establish a state of justice and equality between and among three groups: those who believe in a unified national culture, those who trace their culture to their ethnic identity, and those who view their religion as their culture. To solve the multicultural riddle, one must rethink national identity, ethnicity and the role of religion in the modern world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "When considering strategies to address violent conflict, an enduring debate concerns the wisdom of recognizing versus avoiding reference to ethnic identities. This book asks: Under what conditions do governments manage internal violent conflicts by formally recognizing different ethnic identities? And, moreover, what are the implications for peace? Introducing the concept of "ethnic recognition", and building on a theory rooted in ethnic power configurations, the book examines the merits, risks, and trade-offs of publicly recognizing ethnic groups in state institutions as compared to not doing so, on sought-after outcomes such as political inclusiveness, the decline of political violence, economic vitality, and the improvement of democracy. It draws on both global cross-national quantitative analysis of post-conflict constitutions, settlements, and institutions since 1990, as well as in-depth qualitative case studies of Burundi, Rwanda, and Ethiopia. Findings show that recognition is adopted about forty percent of the time and is much more likely when the leader is from the largest ethnic group, as opposed to an ethnic minority. Moreover, all else equal, recognition promotes peace better than non-recognition under plurality leadership. Under minority leadership, peace outcomes are neither better nor worse. These findings should be of great interest to social scientists studying peace, democracy, and development, and of practical relevance to policy makers attempting to make these concepts a reality around the world"--

Download or read book White Identity Politics written by Ashley Jardina and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-02-28 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amidst discontent over America's growing diversity, many white Americans now view the political world through the lens of a racial identity. Whiteness was once thought to be invisible because of whites' dominant position and ability to claim the mainstream, but today a large portion of whites actively identify with their racial group and support policies and candidates that they view as protecting whites' power and status. In White Identity Politics, Ashley Jardina offers a landmark analysis of emerging patterns of white identity and collective political behavior, drawing on sweeping data. Where past research on whites' racial attitudes emphasized out-group hostility, Jardina brings into focus the significance of in-group identity and favoritism. White Identity Politics shows that disaffected whites are not just found among the working class; they make up a broad proportion of the American public - with profound implications for political behavior and the future of racial conflict in America.
Download or read book Imagining Equality Constructing Ethnicity Race Identity and Nation written by Katie Furuyama and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Membership-based organizations represent a constituent population, but in advocating for this group, they must include some and exclude others in order to construct a coherent and group image around which they can mobilize and make claims. For organizations representing immigrant, racial and ethnic groups within a national context, drawing boundaries around identity can require a delicate negotiation of issues of race, ethnicity, immigration, citizenship, and national identity. This dissertation integrates social movement theory models of political opportunity structures and collective identity formation, and a racial formation framework and seeks to understand how civil rights organizations representing racial, ethnic and immigrant constituent groups construct and manage the images of these groups over time. Analysis is based on a comparative and historical case study of the Japanese American Citizens League (JACL) and the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), organizations originally representing Japanese American and Mexican American citizens, respectively. It explores how the leaders of the JACL and LULAC have defined themselves in relationship to changes in the political opportunity structure and how processes of differential racialization shape political opportunity structures for their constituent groups. It also includes analysis of instances in the JACL and LULAC leaders aimed to construct a public image of their respective constituent groups through public relations campaigns, lobbying, and the courts. In particular, it focuses on how organizations construct identity within a context of contestation over group identity in internal organizational debates, criticism from competitors, and interaction with government policies. It finds that organizations changed their constructed identities in response to the following factors: institutionalization of race and language as categories under which the government worked to address disparities, funding structures privileging panethnic groups or projects, working in coalition with other actors who promote different identities, shifts in immigration flows and demographic changes within their constituent populations, and changes in racial/ethnic stereotypes about their group. These findings contribute to the understanding of collective identity construction within social movement organizations and differential racial formation.

This book was released on 2012-09-03 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is the use of mechanisms that only focus on the protection of individual human rights sufficient to protect the cultural identity of minorities? Much more can be achieved by adopting a system that applies the principles of equality and non-discrimination, and encompasses the recognition of a collective right to cultural identity. Culture and cultural identity are indeed important for the identification of groups and ethnicity. But are the Roma an ethnic group? Are they a minority? In answering these questions, Italy is used as a case study to illustrate the limits of non-discrimination provisions and the need to recognise the collective right to cultural identity.
