Book Synopsis Blacks, Latinos, and Asians in Urban America by : James Jennings
Download or read book Blacks, Latinos, and Asians in Urban America written by James Jennings and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1994 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of essays by scholars and activists focuses on the political and social relations between blacks, Latinos, and Asians in key urban centers. Collectively, the essays examine the particular status of relations between these groups, the reasons for conflict or consensus, and the prospects for future relations. While a number of cities are examined, the book focuses on Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and Miami as particularly instructive case studies. Urban eruptions in these cities are examined in terms of the nature of political relations between blacks, Latinos, and Asians. These essays provide analyses within a sociohistorical context and offer the kind of political activism that might ensure consensus, rather than conflict, between these groups in urban America. As Luis Fuentes observes, This book should be read by all activists and scholars interested in changing the face of urban and ultimately, national America; for if communities of color can come together for progressive political action, then it will only be a matter of time before America finally begins to look like, and act like, what it has been preaching for generations.

Download or read book Just Neighbors? written by Edward Telles and published by Russell Sage Foundation. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blacks and Latinos have transformed the American city—together these groups now constitute the majority in seven of the ten largest cities. Large-scale immigration from Latin America has been changing U.S. racial dynamics for decades, and Latino migration to new destinations is changing the face of the American south. Yet most of what social science has helped us to understand about these groups has been observed primarily in relation to whites—not each other. Just Neighbors? challenges the traditional black/white paradigm of American race relations by examining African Americans and Latinos as they relate to each other in the labor market, the public sphere, neighborhoods, and schools. The book shows the influence of race, class, and received stereotypes on black-Latino social interactions and offers insight on how finding common ground may benefit both groups. From the labor market and political coalitions to community organizing, street culture, and interpersonal encounters, Just Neighbors? analyzes a spectrum of Latino-African American social relations to understand when and how these groups cooperate or compete. Contributor Frank Bean and his co-authors show how the widely held belief that Mexican immigration weakens job prospects for native-born black workers is largely unfounded—especially as these groups are rarely in direct competition for jobs. Michael Jones-Correa finds that Latino integration beyond the traditional gateway cities promotes seemingly contradictory feelings: a sense of connectedness between the native minority and the newcomers but also perceptions of competition. Mark Sawyer explores the possibilities for social and political cooperation between the two groups in Los Angeles and finds that lingering stereotypes among both groups, as well as negative attitudes among blacks about immigration, remain powerful but potentially surmountable forces in group relations. Regina Freer and Claudia Sandoval examine how racial and ethnic identity impacts coalition building between Latino and black youth and find that racial pride and a sense of linked fate encourages openness to working across racial lines. Black and Latino populations have become a majority in the largest U.S. cities, yet their combined demographic dominance has not abated both groups' social and economic disadvantage in comparison to whites. Just Neighbors? lays a much-needed foundation for studying social relations between minority groups. This trailblazing book shows that, neither natural allies nor natural adversaries, Latinos and African Americans have a profound potential for coalition-building and mutual cooperation. They may well be stronger together rather than apart.

Book Synopsis The Racial Middle by : Eileen O’Brien
Download or read book The Racial Middle written by Eileen O’Brien and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2008-06-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The divide over race is usually framed as one over Black and White. Sociologist Eileen O’Brien is interested in that middle terrain, what sits in the ever-increasing gray area she dubbed the racial middle. The Racial Middle, tells the story of the other racial and ethnic groups in America, mainly Latinos and Asian Americans, two of the largest and fastest-growing minorities in the United States. Using dozens of in-depth interviews with people of various ethnic and generational backgrounds, Eileen O’Brien challenges the notion that, to fit into American culture, the only options available to Latinos and Asian Americans are either to become white or to become brown. Instead, she offers a wholly unique analysis of Latinos and Asian Americans own distinctive experiences—those that aren’t typically White nor Black. Though living alongside Whites and Blacks certainly frames some of their own identities and interpretations of race, O’Brien keenly observes that these groups struggles with discrimination, their perceived isolation from members of other races, and even how they define racial justice, are all significant realities that inform their daily lives and, importantly, influence their opportunities for advancement in society. A refreshing and lively approach to understanding race and ethnicity in the twenty-first century, The Racial Middle gives voice to Latinos and Asian-Americans place in this country’s increasingly complex racial mosaic.
Book Synopsis Race and Representation by : Georgia A. Persons
Download or read book Race and Representation written by Georgia A. Persons and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-04 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Political Science Review is the official publication of the National Conference of Black Political Scientists. This series, now entering its sixth volume, includes significant scholarly research reflecting the diverse interests of scholars from various backgrounds who use different models, approaches, and methodologies. The central focus is on politics and policies that advantage or disadvantage groups because of race, ethnicity, gender, and other major variables.Race and Representation is anchored by a symposium that focuses on efforts to enhance representation of African Americans in legislative bodies under the authority of the historic Voting Rights Act of 1965, and on recent court challenges to the constitutionality of redistricting plans drawn under that act. The chapters constitute an extension of an ongoing and protracted, highly charged, public debate. In her introduction, Georgia A. Persons discusses how recent Supreme Court rulings, such as in Shaw v. Reno, Miller v. Johnson, and Bush v. Vera, have significantly redefined the meaning and permissible parameters of the Voting Rights Act. She affirms that they have also strongly posited, albeit somewhat indirectly, a legal meaning of representation that is at variance with the more broadly philosophical meaning of representation grounded in the ideal of enhancing equality among different groups in a society.The articles in Race and Representation are refreshingly informative. They include case studies written by political scientists who became involved directly with events surrounding the theme of this volume. A new section, 'Reflections,' is introduced; it will be reserved for commentary and analysis of an issue that captures the political spirit of the times. In the inaugural contribution, J. Owens Smith reflects on the assault on liberal philosophy as a foundation for civil rights claims and offers an alternative philosophical prism for viewing and justifying such claims. This volume is essen

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blacks, Whites, Latinos, Asians: How to Successfully Coexist and Prosper in American Together In the United States, many immigrants are trying to settle down in that country. They want to make America as their new home because many opportunities are available in that nation. As the years go by, the United States is becoming a land with a diverse set of cultures. It is now housing many different types of people from different parts of the world. However, not everybody in America welcomes anybody who will stay in the country. It is a well-known fact that the United States still has some issues regarding about culture diversity. The problem is that some people in the United States cannot help but hate the idea that non-Americans are staying in their own country. It is very ironic because most of the Americans living in the United States have immigrant ancestors. The sad thing is that, immigrants are not only the victims of this concern. Most Americans treat the descendants of the original occupants of the North American continent as strangers of their own land. The United States of America has a very colorful history. Most of them revolved on a single facet - Racism. Racism is the root of all the issues that the Americans have against cultural diversity. This issue has been there even before the Founding Fathers of the United States were born, and this poses a great threat for the immigrants who want to prosper in America. If racism did not exist, coexisting with people with different lineage on this country will not create any problems. However, since this is not a perfect world, people must face the fact that racism and discrimination is unavoidable in the United States. If that is the case, the people themselves must create a solution for this dilemma. Since the problem is already been identified, everybody can now formulate ideas on how they will finish this never-ending impasse. However, it is not an easy task. History proves that racism is a tough enemy to beat. There were many instances where people tried to diminish this ancient curse that started millenniums ago. This is a very discouraging fact. Nevertheless, it is still the duty of the people to solve this predicament. In this book, it will discuss certain topics about racism. It will introduce some facts that you might never heard before. Together with those facts are true stories on what are the reasons racism has existed. The topics may also serve as revelations for those people who are unaware how this subject is too important to learn; some recommendations on how people can cope with this pickle of the society are also added. Nevertheless, most of them are small things, but it always starts that way. Even racism has started on that manner, and look at it now. It has negatively flourished in the minds of most individuals in the country. After reading this book, you are expected to be knowledgeable about racism. You would know what, when, where, why, and how it existed. Then, you will be able to generalize everything about this problem. That generalization will lead you on knowing how blacks, whites, Latinos, Asians, and other people can successfully coexist and prosper in the United States of America.

Book Synopsis Immigration in America Today by : James Loucky
Download or read book Immigration in America Today written by James Loucky and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2006-08-30 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America today is witnessing the largest and most sustained wave of immigrants its borders have ever seen. Although factors like the Great Depression, World War II, and quota restrictions had slowed the massive influx of Europeans from the early part of the 20th century, policies like the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act have relaxed quotas and opened America's doors to hundreds of thousands of immigrants a year, from both Eastern and Western hemispheres, to reach a height of over 9 million immigrants in the 1990s. Today, immigrants and policy-makers alike grapple with issues regarding employment, education, refugee status, and family reunification; as well as illegal immigrants—many from Mexico, whose legal immigration alone accounts for more than 20% of immigrants in the US. Despite this, this comprehensive reference source allows a glimpse of the same motivating factors that drove earlier immigrants through Ellis Island's gates—the promise of economic opportunity and the hope of a better life. Over 70 A-Z entries address topical and timely aspects of modern US immigration, including: ; bilingual education ; domestic work ; employer sanctions ; gangs ; gender ; homeland security ; migrant education ; posttraumatic stress disorder ; stereotypes
