Book excerpt: [Abstract] This study explored the question "What is the experience of transition through immigration?" The subjective nature of this investingation required a qualitative research method and employed the phenomenological model of human science research. A review of literature was completed to position the present study among relevant psychological works. The descriptive accounts of six co-researchs were obtained and analyzed acxcording to the phenomenological research process of epoche, phenomenological reduction (bracketing, delimiting, horizonalization, clustering), imaginatice variation and synthesis. Analysis of the data from interviews showed that the experience of transition through immigration is experienced on many levels, and seven textural themes were identified: 1. Pre-immigration experiences: the nature of experiences prior to immigration influence the transition process; 2. Facilitating factors: the development of meaningful relationship in the new country, as well as proficiency in the language; 3. Comparisons between country of origin and country of adoption which will facilitate the integrarion of the besr aspects od both countries; 4. Nostalgia: a feeling presenr in the experience of each co-researcher, independent of the quality of relationship wirh rhe country of origin, 5. Emotional refueling: fundamental in the process of transition as a way of internaliIng the country of origin and the relationship established there; 6. Belonging: the feeling of uncertainty about fitting in to the new culture and community; 7. Adapting: the proces leading to the immigrant's sense of bicultural competence, or ability to function in both countries. A synthesis was composed to describe the essense of the experience. Implications of the results for the disciplines of psychotherapy and social work are discussed.
Download or read book the immigrant suite written by Hattie Gossett and published by Seven Stories Press. This book was released on 2011-01-04 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing from the upper west side of Manhattan, where Harlem intersects with waves of immigrants from the Dominican Republic, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Korea, Cambodia, Ivory Coast, India, Native America, and from all over the globe, hattie gossett vividly invokes her neighborhood experience. With wit and candor, she questions why so many people are forced from their home countries, only to be despised as interlopers in the United States; why older immigrants see younger ones as the enemy; who gets paid a living wage, who gentrifies their neighborhood, and who sends their money back home. From the grocery store to the cleaners to the tenement walk-up and everywhere in between, gossett captures the voices overheard and imagined in this breathless immigrant suite.

Download or read book Imperial Blues written by Fiona I. B. Ngô and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2014-02-21 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this pathbreaking study, Fiona I. B. Ngô examines how geographies of U.S. empire were perceived and enacted during the 1920s and 1930s. Focusing on New York during the height of the Harlem Renaissance, Ngô traces the city's multiple circuits of jazz music and culture. In considering this cosmopolitan milieu, where immigrants from the Philippines, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Japan, and China crossed paths with blacks and white "slummers" in dancehalls and speakeasies, she investigates imperialism's profound impact on racial, gendered, and sexual formations. As nightclubs overflowed with the sights and sounds of distant continents, tropical islands, and exotic bodies, tropes of empire provided both artistic possibilities and policing rationales. These renderings naturalized empire and justified expansion, while establishing transnational modes of social control within and outside the imperial city. Ultimately, Ngô argues that domestic structures of race and sex during the 1920s and 1930s cannot be understood apart from the imperial ambitions of the United States.

Download or read book The Day the Dancers Stayed written by Theodore S. Gonzalves and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 2009-09-25 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pilipino Cultural Nights at American campuses have been a rite of passage for youth culture and a source of local community pride since the 1980s. Through performances—and parodies of them—these celebrations of national identity through music, dance, and theatrical narratives reemphasize what it means to be Filipino American. In The Day the Dancers Stayed, scholar and performer Theodore Gonzalves uses interviews and participant observer techniques to consider the relationship between the invention of performance repertoire and the development of diasporic identification. Gonzalves traces a genealogy of performance repertoire from the 1930s to the present. Culture nights serve several functions: as exercises in nostalgia, celebrations of rigid community entertainment, and occasionally forums for political intervention. Taking up more recent parodies of Pilipino Cultural Nights, Gonzalves discusses how the rebellious spirit that enlivened the original seditious performances has been stifled.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nonstop Metropolis,Êthe culminating volume in a trilogy of atlases, conveys innumerable unbound experiences of New York City through twenty-six imaginative maps and informative essays. Bringing together the insights of dozens of expertsÑfrom linguists to music historians, ethnographers, urbanists, and environmental journalistsÑamplified by cartographers, artists, and photographers, it explores all five boroughs of New York City and parts of nearby New Jersey. We are invited to travel through ManhattanÕs playgrounds, from polyglot Queens to many-faceted Brooklyn, and from the resilient Bronx to the mystical kung fu hip-hop mecca of Staten Island. The contributors to this exquisitely designed and gorgeously illustrated volume celebrate New York CityÕs unique vitality, its incubation of the avant-garde, and its literary history, but they also critique its racial and economic inequality, environmental impact, and erasure of its past.ÊNonstop MetropolisÊallows us to excavate New YorkÕs buried layers, to scrutinize its political heft, and to discover the unexpected in one of the most iconic cities in the world. It is both a challenge and homage to how New Yorkers think of their city, and how the world sees this capital of capitalism, culture, immigration, and more.
