- Description
- This volume is a contribution to the current debates on multiculturalism in the United States. The author argues that the discourse of multiculturalism has been hampered by a focus on the political and social (secular) implications of multiculturalism, and this has led to a subsequent failure to examine multiculturalism/diversity as existential and spiritual dimensions of humanity. Issues covered include contemporary public discourse on notions about and roles of culture, national identity, language and education.

- Description
- High schoolviolence is often a teenage rite of passage, but there are extremes--as when a race riot at a Los Angeles campus in the spring of 2005 resulted in a police lockdown. In this book Mary Thomas interviewed 26 Latina, Armenian, Filipina, African American, and Anglo girls at that high school to gauge their responses to the campus violence. They all denounced the outbreak, calling for multicultural understanding and peaceful coexistence. However, as much as the girls want everyone to just 'get along,' they also exhibit strong racist beliefs and validate segregated social spaces on campus and beyond. How can teenagers and 'girl power' work together to empower instead of alienate multicultural groups? In her book Thomas foregrounds the role that space plays in girls' practices that perpetuate social difference, and she explains the ways we navigate the intellectual terrain between scholarship and school yard.

- Description
- For South Asians, food regularly plays a role in how issues of race, class, gender, ethnicity, and national identity are imagined. This book provides food for thought as it considers the metaphors literature, film, and TV shows use to describe Indians abroad. When an immigrant mother in Jhumpa Lahiri's 'The Namesake', combines Rice Krispies, Planters peanuts, onions, salt, lemon juice, and green chili peppers to create a dish similar to one found on Calcutta sidewalks, it not only evokes the character's Americanization, but also her nostalgia for India. Food, Anita Mannur writes, is a central part of the cultural imagination of diasporic populations. Mannur examines the cultural production from the Anglo-American reaches of the South Asian diaspora. Using texts from novels - Chitra Divakaruni's 'Mistress of Spices', and Shani Mootoo's 'Cereus Blooms at Night' - to cookbooks such as Madhur Jaffrey's 'Invitation to Indian Cooking' and Padma Lakshmi's 'Easy Exotic', she illustrates how national identities are consolidated in culinary terms.

- Description
- Onderzoek naar de interactie tussen verschillende groepen vrouwen, autochtone witte vrouwen, afro-amerikaanse vrouwen en Cubaanse en Italiaanse immigrantenvrouwen in de sigarenstad Tampa, Florida, VS. Rond de eeuwwisseling in 1900 speelden zich verschillende historische gebeurtenissen af. De stad was onderwerp van nieuw opgelegde vormen van wettelijke segregatie en zij diende als centrum voor bannelingen ten gevolge van de Cubaanse onafhankelijkheidsoorlog en als opstapplaats voor VS legertroepen naar Cuba in 1898. De stad was overslagplaats voor duizenden Cubaanse en Italiaanse immigranten op zoek naar werk in de florerende sigarenindustrie en trok talloze onderwegzijnde radikalen aan die stonden te popelen om lokale revolutionaire clubs, wederzijdse hulporganisaties en vakbonden op te zetten. Aandacht voor de rol van vrouwen in het activisme, waar binnen grote aantallen latina's zich manifesteerden in de openbare sfeer.
