Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book draws on first-person action research and inquiry research process to provide a cultural analysis of black experience in white-dominated society. The author uses her personal experience of working with the racial confusion with which she lived until she decided to engage with what it means to be black instead of avoiding and denying it. Her research takes her back in time to a shared history of slavery and colonization; outwards to her experiences in white society; and inwards to explore the psychological costs of her long silence. The outcome is a book which offers a visionary and futuristic view of how whites and blacks can begin to work with the visible and invisible legacies of their shared histories towards a better world, and guides readers towards the goal of conscious bicultural competence. It explores the experience of members of the African Diaspora today, providing important insights into many of the social problems they face in contemporary society, such as the widely espoused underachievement of black boys in the British school system. The book is an important text for understanding black and white relationships across the world--an essential dimension of global social process. It is essential reading for teachers, educators and policy makers, teacher trainers, parents and everyone--black and white--who wants to understand how social inequality is maintained. And it is especially timely in the year marking Britain's 200th anniversary of the legal abolition of the slave trade.

Download or read book Bi cultural Competence and Academic Resilience Among Immigrants written by Rosalva Vega Vargas-Reighley and published by LFB Scholarly Publishing LLC. This book was released on 2005 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vargas-Reighley examines the relationship among bicultural competence, stress and coping processes, adaptive processes, and academic resilience. Participants were Latina/o and Southeast Asian youth from two high schools in California. The Latina/o group was more likely to experience greater family stress, including greater parental marital dysfunction, more severe stressors, and greater stress ratings. The Southeast Asians were more likely to be of lower socioeconomic status, but more likely to show higher academic goals and achievement. Results indicate that bicultural competence was related to greater self-esteem, social support coping and coping efficacy in the familial stressful situation, and direct action coping and coping efficacy in the academic stressful situation. Bicultural competence does appear to be related to adaptive outcomes.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biculturalism embodies the degree to which individuals adapt to living within two cultural systems and develop the ability to live effectively across those two cultures. It represents, therefore, a normative developmental task among members of immigrant and ethnic-racial minority groups, and has important implications for psychosocial adjustment. Despite a strong theoretical focus on contextual influences in biculturalism scholarship, the ways in which proximal contexts shape its development are understudied. In my dissertation, I examine the mechanisms via which the family context might influence the development of bicultural competence among a socio-economically diverse sample of 749 U.S. Mexican-origin youths (30% Mexico-born) followed for 7 years (Mage = 10.44 to 17.38 years; Wave 1 to 4). In study 1, I investigated how parents’ endorsements of values associated with both mainstream and heritage cultures relate to adolescents’ bicultural competence. Longitudinal growth model analyses revealed that parents’ endorsements of mainstream and heritage values simultaneously work to influence adolescents’ bicultural competence. By examining the effect of multiple and often competing familial contextual influences on adolescent bicultural competence development, this work provides insights on intergenerational cultural transmission and advances scholarship on the culturally bounded nature of human development. In study 2, I offer a substantial extension to decades of family stress model research focused on how family environmental stressors may compromise parenting behaviors and youth development by testing a culturally informed family stress model. My model (a) incorporates family cultural and ecological stressors, (b) focuses on culturally salient parenting practices aimed to teach youth about the heritage culture (i.e., ethnic socialization), and (c) examines bicultural competence as a developmental outcome. Findings suggest that parents’ high exposure to ecological stressors do not compromise parental ethnic socialization or adolescent bicultural competence development. On the other hand, mothers’ exposures to enculturative stressors can disrupt maternal ethnic socialization, and in turn, undermine adolescents’ bicultural competence. By examining the influence of multiple family environmental stressors on culturally salient parenting practices, and their implications for adolescent bicultural competence development, this work provides insights on ethnic-racial minority and immigrant families’ adapting cultures and advances scholarship on the family stress model.

Book excerpt: The purposes of this dissertation were to better understand how South Asian American college students conceptualize biculturalism, how bicultural competence relates to coping and mental health outcomes, and how the campus environment can support bicultural competence through the testing of the Culturally Engaging Campus Environments (CECE) model. South Asians make up one-third of the Asian American population, though many studies within the fields of psychology and education on Asian Americans focus primarily on East Asians or fail to disaggregate the Asian category, lacking a nuanced understanding of the experience of Asian Americans. Additionally, South Asians face unique risk factors caused by the current, hostile political climate in the United States against Muslims and immigrants, and by the propagation of harmful stereotypes. Thus, this study aimed to bring the experiences of South Asian American students to the forefront and better understand how to support these students' identity development through the theoretical lens of biculturalism theory and the CECE model. Students from three different university settings were recruited to participate in a survey assessing mental health outcomes, coping styles, and thoughts about their college environment. Site 1 was a medium-sized, private university, Site 2 was a large, public university, and Site 3 was a medium-sized community college. The survey was completed by 196 students across the three sites, and 25 students (who filled out the survey from Site 1) participated in a 30 to 35-minute interview discussing their bicultural identity including how the college environment supported their bicultural identity development. Study analyses yielded significant results in three major different areas: (a) conceptualization of biculturalism, (b) biculturalism and mental health, and (c) environmental support for bicultural identity development. In regards to the first area, two theoretical contributions were noted through qualitative analyses of student interviews through a combination of inductive and deductive coding. First, the conceptualization of biculturalism by South Asian American students spanned six different components rather than one singular definition as commonly conceptualized in previous literature. These six components were (a) active participation in cultural traditions, (b) internalization of cultural values, (c) interpersonal factors, (d) flux and connection with cultural background, (e) relations between cultural identities, and (f) comfort and pride. Second, three potential external factors that contribute to bicultural competence were identified -- exposure to cultural settings, parents' bicultural competence and physical appearance. Additionally, analyses revealed that a potential outcome of demonstrating high bicultural competence was self-awareness or a more developed bicultural identity. In the second area, quantitative analyses revealed significant relations between bicultural competence, mental health, and coping. More specifically, bicultural competence was significantly related to positive mental health outcomes. Those who had high bicultural competence were more likely to report utilizing the reflective, acceptance/reframing/striving and family support coping styles, and were less likely to report utilizing reactive coping than those with low bicultural competence. Additionally, there was an interaction occurring between bicultural competence, family support coping, and psychological well-being, such that those who had low bicultural competence benefitted the most from using extensive family support coping. Finally, in the area of institutional support for bicultural identity development, quantitative analyses demonstrated how the campus environment can support bicultural competence through the testing of the CECE model. A structural equation model including bicultural competence as a mediator in the CECE model demonstrated good fit for the data. This significant fit suggests that the CECE indicators contributed to bicultural competence, and that bicultural competence partially mediated the relation between the CECE indicators and outcome variables -- sense of school belongingness and academic self-efficacy. Interviews also revealed which indicators of the CECE model were currently utilized by the university and best supported students' bicultural identity development. These indicators were culturally relevant knowledge, meaningful cross-cultural engagement, cultural familiarity, and cultural validation. Altogether, these findings contribute to current theory and research on biculturalism, demonstrate the positive benefits of bicultural competence on mental health, and highlight how aspects of the campus environment can support students' bicultural identity development. Results support and add to biculturalism theory through identification of factors that can contribute to and result from bicultural competence. Additionally, six different categories that compose biculturalism were found, contributing to the current literature on biculturalism. Explicit relations between bicultural competence, coping styles, and mental health were revealed. Through testing the CECE model, potential areas for intervention in campus environments were identified to support South Asian American students' bicultural identity development.

Download or read book Becoming Bicultural written by Paul R. Smokowski and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2011-02-08 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the United States has always been a nation of immigrants, the recent demographic shifts resulting in burgeoning young Latino and Asian populations have literally changed the face of the nation. This wave of massive immigration has led to a nationwide struggle with the need to become bicultural, a difficult and sometimes painful process of navigating between ethnic cultures. While some Latino adolescents become alienated and turn to antisocial behavior and substance use, others go on to excel in school, have successful careers, and build healthy families. Drawing on both quantitative and qualitative data ranging from surveys to extensive interviews with immigrant families, Becoming Bicultural explores the individual psychology, family dynamics, and societal messages behind bicultural development and sheds light on the factors that lead to positive or negative consequences for immigrant youth. Paul R. Smokowski and Martica Bacallao illuminate how immigrant families, and American communities in general, become bicultural and use their bicultural skills to succeed in their new surroundings The volume concludes by offering a model for intervention with immigrant teens and their families which enhances their bicultural skills.

This book was released on 2019-11-18 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together the voices of a number of translation and interpreting scholars and educators representing several different cultures and language combinations, in order to present their views on, and experiences with, authentic experiential learning in professional translation and interpreting programmes. Readers who happen to be translator educators and who have not yet explored the possibility of incorporating authentic experiential learning into their teaching will be encouraged by this short collection of chapters to consider, or reconsider, this pedagogical option. In addition, the volume will inspire new and up-and-coming translator educators to reflect on their own understandings of what it means to know, to learn and to teach as they set out to educate translators competently and wisely in this still-new millennium. Finally, it also provides a context and justification for experiential learning on the wider canvas of teacher development and organizational learning. This second edition includes two new chapters (Chapters 10 and 11) and updated versions of many other chapters from the first edition.
