Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research examines the complexities of identity negotiation for African- American female students at both Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Predominantly White Institutions (PWIs). It analyzes the intersections of gender, and race/ethnicity (among other salient attributes of social identity) as these women define, negotiate, and communicate their identities in both organizational settings. More specifically, it examines how these students navigate the different organizational settings of both HBCUs and PWIs while simultaneously negotiating self-defined aspects of their identities with notions projected onto them in these environments. In-depth interviews with co-researchers who have experience with both types of universities reveal that negotiating stereotypes of black women and their limited visibility in the curriculum can be difficult to manage, particularly at PWIs. Although the co-researchers report feeling invisible, they interestingly also feel hyper visible when interacting with professors and peers as they often feel placed into the role of the "educator" of African-American culture. Establishing boundaries and bringing in limited aspects of social identities often helps the co-researchers mitigate negative experiences they encounter and the tension they feel between their invisibility and hyper visibility. The co-researchers enjoy more of a racial and ethnic cultural fit at HBCUs, which makes identity negotiation easier for them. Gender causes much more of a concern for them in these environments. The co-researchers often engage in uncomfortable interactions with their peers and faculty members and feel the brunt of gender discriminatory attitudes and practices. Although many of the co-researchers have experienced gender-related discrimination, they still regard the HBCU as a positive environment for African-American women due to the supportive interactions with other African-American female peers and faculty members, which are not largely present in other academic environments. These results demonstrate how identity negotiation differs in different organizational contexts as people construct their social identities in manners that help them adjust to their educational settings. Having experiences at both PWIs and HBCUs helps African-American women learn to negotiate multiple organizations which prepares them for their professional goals while providing opportunities for personal growth and identity development.
Download or read book Negotiating Race and Rights in the Museum written by Katy Bunning and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-29 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Negotiating Race and Rights in the Museum traces the evolution of pervasive racial ideas, and ‘post-race’ allusions, over more than a century of museum thinking and practice. Drawing on the illuminating history of the Smithsonian Institution, this book offers an account of how museums have addressed and renegotiated wider calls for inclusion, ‘self-definition’, and racial justice, in ways that continually re-centre and legitimise the White frame. Charting the emergence of ‘post-race’ ideas in museums, Bunning demonstrates how and why ‘culturally specific’ approaches have been met with suspicion and derision by powerful museum stakeholders against the backdrop of a changing United States of America, just as they have offered crucial vehicles for sectoral change. This study of the evolution of racial ideas in response to Black empowerment highlights deeply entrenched forms of White supremacy that remain operative within the international museum sector today, and serves to reinforce the urgent calls for the active disruption of racist ideas and the redesign of institutions. Negotiating Race and Rights in the Museum will appeal to those working in the international fields of museum and heritage studies, cultural studies, and American studies, and all who are interested in the production of racial ideas and White supremacy in the museum.

Book excerpt: This book is about the new possibilities that emerge at the conjunction of the cultural trajectories of the present. Through different journeys in the European, and particularly the Scandinavian and the British present, the authors of this collection of essays discuss the interrelations of culture, race, gender, ethnicity and identity. They elucidate how identies are negotiated and cultures processed. The passages of culture addressed here open for a deeper understanding of the varieties of ethnicity and in particular of those of the borderlands with their potential for intercultural and transnational conversation.

Download or read book Negotiating Boundaries in the City written by Joanna Herbert and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using in-depth life-story interviews and oral history archives, this book explores the impact of South Asian migration from the 1950s onwards on both the local white, British-born population and the migrants themselves. Taking Leicester as a main case study - identified as a European model of multicultural success - Negotiating Boundaries in the City offers a historically grounded analysis of the human experiences of migration. Joanna Herbert shows how migration created challenges for both existing residents and newcomers - for both male and female migrants - and explores how they perceived and negotiated boundaries within the local contexts of their everyday lives. She explores the personal and collective narratives of individuals who might not otherwise appear in the historical records, highlighting the importance of subjective, everyday experiences. The stories provide valuable insights into the nature of white ethnicity, inter-ethnic relations and the gendered nature of experiences, and offer rich data lacking in existing theoretical accounts. This book provides a radically different story about multicultural Britain and reveals the nuances of modern urban experiences which are lost in prevailing discourses of multiculturalism.
Download or read book Negotiating Racial Politics in the Family written by Barbara Henkes and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2020-05-06 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is situated at the cutting edge of the political-ethical dimension of history writing. Henkes investigates various responsibilities and loyalties towards family and nation, as well as other major ethical obligations towards society and humanity when historical subjects have to deal with a repressive political regime. In the first section we follow pre-war German immigrants in the Netherlands and their German affiliation during the era of National Socialism. The second section explores the positions of Dutch emigrants who settled after the Second World War in Apartheid South Africa. The narratives of these transnational agents and their relatives provide a lens through which changing constructions of national identities, and the acceptance or rejection of a nationalist policy on racial grounds, can be observed in everyday practice.

Download or read book The Negotiation of Identities Narratives of Mixed race Individuals in Canada written by Mélanie Jane Knight and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis examines how mixed-race individuals shape and negotiate their identities and where they situate themselves along the racial continuum. I share the stories of five individuals of African/Carribean/Lebanese and French-Canadian descent. This study is distinct in that it examines participants' negotiation of two White racially dominant groups, the Anglophone majority and Francophone linguistic minority who themselves differ in social and economic status. It was found that participants' self-identification as individuals of colour was not an indicator of their participation within subordinate groups. Participants chose to situate themselves at different locations on the racial continuum, either participating within Whiteness, Blackness or both. Negotiations within certain locations on the continuum was found to bring benefits, depend to some extent on phenotype, cause tension and contradiction, to be influenced by racism and racial consciousness and to be complicated by language and ethnicity.
Download or read book The Boundaries of Mixedness written by Erica Chito Childs and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-13 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Boundaries of Mixedness tackles the burgeoning field of critical mixed race studies, bringing together research that spans five continents and more than ten countries. Research on mixedness is growing, yet there is still much debate over what exactly mixed race means, and whether it is a useful term. Despite a growing focus on and celebration of mixedness globally, particularly in the media, societies around the world are grappling with how and why crossing socially constructed boundaries of race, ethnicity and other markers of difference matter when considering those who date, marry, raise families, or navigate their identities across these boundaries. What we find collectively through the ten studies in this book is that in every context there is a hierarchy of mixedness, both in terms of intimacy and identity. This hierarchy of intimacy renders certain groups as more or less marriable, socially constructed around race, ethnicity, caste, religion, skin color and/or region. Relatedly, there is also a hierarchy of identities where certain races, languages, ethnicities and religions are privileged and valued differently. These differences emerge out of particular local histories and contemporary contexts yet there are also global realities that transcend place and space. The Boundaries of Mixedness is a significant new contribution to mixed race studies for academics, researchers, and advanced students of Ethnic and Racial Studies, Sociology, History and Public Policy. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Intercultural Studies.

Download or read book Imagining Children Otherwise written by Michael O'Loughlin and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2010 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of articles is a sociolinguistic response to the recent explosion of scholarly interest in issues of identity. Identity is central to all human beings as we are all concerned with how to conceive of ourselves, present ourselves and comprehend our relationships with others. The book tackles the problem of how personal identity is made visible and intelligible to others through language, and how this may be constrained. Part One, Emblematic identities, focuses on the construction of self-definitions based on various forms of group identities, including national and ethnic ones. Part Two, Multicultural Identities, looks at negotiation of identities in multicultural contexts involving relations of power, drawing on examples from Europe and the Americas. Finally, Part Three, Emergent Identities, collects empirical studies based on a close reading of texts in which identities are being articulated and negotiated.
