Race and Ethnicity: Culture, Identity and Representation

2006 y.
Publisher: Routledge
Description: Broad-ranging and comprehensive, this incisive new textbook examines the shifting meanings of `race` and ethnicity and collates the essential concepts in one indispensable companion volume. From Marxist views to post-colonialism, this book investigates the attendant debates, issues and analyses within the context of global change. Using international case studies from Australia, Malaysia, the Caribbean, Mexico and the UK and examples of popular imagery that help to explain the more difficult elements of theory, this key text focuses on everyday life issues such as: ethnic conflicts and polarised states, racism(s) and policies of multiculturalism, diasporas, asylum seekers and refugees, mixed race and hybrid identity. Incorporating summaries, questions, illustrations, exercises and a glossary of terms, this student-friendly text also puts forward suggestions for further project work.

Timothy Yu
Race and the Avant-Garde: Experimental and Asian American Poetry Since 1965

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: A groundbreaking study of contemporary American poetry, `Race and the Avant-Garde` changes the way we think about race and literature. Examining two of the most exciting developments in recent American writing, Timothy Yu juxtaposes the works of experimental language poets and Asian American poets - concerned primarily with issues of social identity centered around discourses of race. Yu delves into the 1960s social upheaval to trace how Language and Asian American writing emerged as parallel poetics of the avant-garde, each with its own distinctive form, style, and political meaning.From its provocative reevaluation of Allen Ginsberg to fresh readings of Ron Silliman, Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, and John Yau, along with its analysis of a new archive of Asian American writers from the 1970s, this book is indispensable for readers interested in race, Asian American studies, contemporary poetry, and the avant-garde.

Race and the Invisible Hand: How White Networks Exclude Black Men from Blue-Collar Jobs (George Gund Foundation Book in African American Studies)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: From the time of Booker T. Washington to today, and William Julius Wilson, the advice dispensed to young black men has invariably been, `Get a trade.` Deirdre Royster has put this folk wisdom to an empirical test--and, in Race and the Invisible Hand, exposes the subtleties and discrepancies of a workplace that favors the white job-seeker over the black. At the heart of this study is the question: Is there something about young black men that makes them less desirable as workers than their white peers? And if not, then why do black men trail white men in earnings and employment rates? Royster seeks an answer in the experiences of 25 black and 25 white men who graduated from the same vocational school and sought jobs in the same blue-collar labor market inthe early 1990s. After seriously examining the educational performances, work ethics, and values of the black men for unique deficiencies, her study reveals the greatest difference between young black and white men--access to the kinds… [detailed...]

Race for the Exits: The Unraveling of Japan`s System of Social Protection

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Contrary to all expectations, Japan`s long-term recession has provoked no sustained political movement to replace the nation`s malfunctioning economic structure. The country`s basic social contract has so far proved resistant to reform, even in the face of persistently adverse conditions. In Race for the Exits, Leonard J. Schoppa explains why it has endured and how long it can last. The postwar Japanese system of `convoy capitalism` traded lifetime employment for male workers against government support for industry and the private (female) provision of care for children and the elderly. Two social groups bore a particularly heavy burden in providing for the social protection of the weak and dependent: large firms, which committed to keeping their core workforce on the payroll even in slow times, and women, who stayed home to care for their homes and families. Using the exit-voice framework made famous by Albert Hirschman, Schoppa argues that both groups have chosen `exit`… [detailed...]

Description: Book Description Johnny Moore lives in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina at the turn of the twentieth century. He is there to witness the Wright brothers make history by becoming the first people to fly. But Johnny`s life changes years before the dramatic first flight, when his mama gives him a blank book and tells him to write in it. At first, Johnny doesn`t think he has anything interesting to write about in his journal. When he does put his pencil to the paper, his spelling and grammar are terrible. But pretty soon some `dingbatters` from Ohio, called the Wright brothers, breeze into town and Johnny starts to have more of a story to tell. Before he knows it, he is writing every day, telling about helping the Wrights build their flying machine. Over the course of three years, he forms a friendship with the odd brothers from Ohio, improves his writing and grammar quite a bit, and if he waits long enough, he might even get to fly!

Race for the World: Strategies to Build a Great Global Firm

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The rewards of building a great global firm at this moment in time are extraordinary. All the international ventures that have shaped the world economy to date, from the early spice trade to today`s multinational corporations, amount to a pebble`s ripple in a pond compared with the ocean of opportunity now opening to those ambitious enough to navigate its waters. The world`s economy is integrating as never before, driven by the erosion of national borders, the increasing mobility of capital, and the escalating power of technology. As serious contenders accelerate their strategies to match the pace of globalization, the race to build a truly great global firm is on. Race for the World contends that standing still-or simply running in place-is not an option. This prophetic, timely book focuses on new and useful ways of thinking about strategy in the integrating world economy. What will it take to win in markets and industries that are fundamentally changing and evolving? The key… [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: In this lucid and supremely readable study, Brian Kelly challenges the prevailing notion that white workers were the main source of resistance to racial equality in the Jim Crow South. Kelly explores the forces that brought the black and white miners of Birmingham, Alabama, together during the hard-fought strikes of 1908 and 1920. He examines the systematic efforts by the region`s powerful industrialists to foment racial divisions as a means of splitting the workforce, preventing unionization, and holding wages to the lowest levels in the country. He also details the role played by Birmingham`s small but influential black middle class, whose espousal of industrial accommodation outraged black miners and revealed significant tensions within the African-American community.

Race, Music, and National Identity: Images of Jazz in American Fiction, 1920-1960

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: `Race, Music, and National Identity` is the first book-length study to examine closely the portrayal of jazz in American fiction during the most critical and dynamic years of the music`s development. The principal argument suggests that the discourse on jazz was informed largely by a broad range of anxieties endemic to the turbulent decades of the mid-twentieth century. As the United States faced a new crisis in either foreign or domestic policy, writers and intellectuals often used jazz as a forum to change both the public`s understanding of the musical tradition as well as the nation`s understanding of itself. In many ways, the rise of jazz from low to high art was a product of this discourse. The study relies on a close reading of several notable authors including F. Scott Fitzgerald, Langston Hughes, Eudora Welty, Ralph Ellison, and Jack Kerouac but also responds to a broad range of popular writers from the decade whose contribution to the discourse on jazz has been largely… [detailed...]
