Book Synopsis The Challenge of Acculturation in a Mexican-American Community by : Harol Jonatan Pineda Chavez

This book was released on 2016 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research is to explore factors that explain how ethnic identity and culture conflict is shaped and developed within a group of Mexican-American men living in Sacramento, California. These factors include: Personal (Individual risk factors), Family risk factors, Peer risk factors, Education (School risk factors), and Neighborhood location (Community risk factors).The study employs in-depth, semi-structured, face-to-face interviews focusing on the above risk factors, acculturation, and multiple marginality of approximately eighteen male participants. The participants were between the ages of eighteen and thirty years old. These responses are the data upon which grounded theory methods of qualitative data analysis were employed to analyze how ethnicity, acculturation, culture conflict, and marginalization influence this subgroup of Mexican-Americans. Review of the literature This chapter gives a brief background to the history of gangs in the United States. Additionally, the chapter highlights the negative effects of gang membership, and the primary risk factors associated with such association. The chapter concludes with an explanation of how such risk factors affect Mexican-Americans' acculturation, ethnic identity, and it leads to Vigil's concept of multiple marginality. Analysis The data were collected from interviews with eighteen participants. Data were analyzed utilizing a system of 'line-by-line' coding to generate themes from the interviews. A review of literature identified certain risk factors: acculturation, culture, education, family, individual, peers, and community issues as significantly influential on Mexican-Americans who joined or affiliate with gangs. The face-to-face interviews revealed that most of the participants' verified assertions from the literature, suggesting that factors such as these play a significant role in social development and perhaps even encourage engagement in crimes, deviance, and affiliation with gangs. The literature supports the impact of culture conflict and Vigil's (1988) multiple marginality on these Mexican-American community members. Discussion, Conclusion, and Recommendation Due to my own experience and where I grew up, I also had assumptions about being Mexican-American, and had similar experiences, as did many of these participants. These participants faced many challenges related to their families, peers, culture, and their first language. However, in spite of any short-comings these experiences caused, they highlighted the importance of the neighborhoods (geographical location) where they grew up, as strongly influencing whether they were involved with criminal activity, deviancy, and gang affiliation. Overall, their responses were more focus on the negative effects of acculturation with very few positive examples that are highlighted in the advantage of being bilingual. The results cannot be generalized beyond the current research as the data were derived from a small, non-probability convenience sample and are not likely to provide a comprehensive interpretation of Mexican-American ethnic identity and culture conflict issues in the United States. However, collecting data from a larger sample would improve validity and generalizability.

Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of Multicultural Identity by : Veronica Benet-Martinez
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Multicultural Identity written by Veronica Benet-Martinez and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-08-01 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multiculturalism is a prevalent worldwide societal phenomenon. Aspects of our modern life, such as migration, economic globalization, multicultural policies, and cross-border travel and communication have made intercultural contacts inevitable. High numbers of multicultural individuals (23-43% of the population by some estimates) can be found in many nations where migration has been strong (e.g., Australia, U.S., Western Europe, Singapore) or where there is a history of colonization (e.g., Hong Kong). Many multicultural individuals are also ethnic and cultural minorities who are descendants of immigrants, majority individuals with extensive multicultural experiences, or people with culturally mixed families; all people for whom identification and/or involvement with multiple cultures is the norm. Despite the prevalence of multicultural identity and experiences, until the publication of this volume, there has not yet been a comprehensive review of scholarly research on the psychological underpinning of multiculturalism. The Oxford Handbook of Multicultural Identity fills this void. It reviews cutting-edge empirical and theoretical work on the psychology of multicultural identities and experiences. As a whole, the volume addresses some important basic issues, such as measurement of multicultural identity, links between multilingualism and multiculturalism, the social psychology of multiculturalism and globalization, as well as applied issues such as multiculturalism in counseling, education, policy, marketing and organizational science, to mention a few. This handbook will be useful for students, researchers, and teachers in cultural, social, personality, developmental, acculturation, and ethnic psychology. It can also be used as a source book in advanced undergraduate and graduate courses on identity and multiculturalism, and a reference for applied psychologists and researchers in the domains of education, management, and marketing.

Book Synopsis Latino Children and Families in the United States by : Josefina M. Contreras
Download or read book Latino Children and Families in the United States written by Josefina M. Contreras and published by Praeger. This book was released on 2002-09-30 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Latino population in the United States continues to grow and now represents 12% of the population. Yet, remarkably little attention has been paid to understanding parenting and child development processes among Latino families. Although research on Latino parenting is beginning to emerge, the field is in need of further structure and direction. This volume addresses this need and advances the field both by presenting state-of-the-art research on Latino parenting and also by proposing conceptual and methodological frameworks that can provide the field with further integration and direction. In addition to presenting innovative research examining parental beliefs and practices of Latino families from different socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds, authors provide frameworks for identifying the origins of these beliefs and practices, and provide a rich picture of both the values that can be considered Latino and the social and demographic normative and at-risk Latino samples. Finally, methodological and conceptual recommendations for future research on each cited area, as well as the field, are presented.
Book Synopsis Mestizo in America by : Thomas Macias
Download or read book Mestizo in America written by Thomas Macias and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2006-09-14 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How much does ethnicity matter to Mexican Americans today, when many marry outside their culture and some can’t even stomach menudo? This book addresses that question through a unique blend of quantitative data and firsthand interviews with third-plus-generation Mexican Americans. Latinos are being woven into the fabric of American life, to be sure, but in a way quite distinct from ethnic groups that have come from other parts of the world. By focusing on individuals’ feelings regarding acculturation, work experience, and ethnic identity—and incorporating Mexican-Anglo intermarriage statistics—Thomas Macias compares the successes and hardships of Mexican immigrants with those of previous European arrivals. He describes how continual immigration, the growth of the Latino population, and the Chicano Movement have been important factors in shaping the experience of Mexican Americans, and he argues that Mexican American identity is often not merely an “ethnic option” but a necessary response to stereotyping and interactions with Anglo society.Talking with fifty third-plus generation Mexican Americans from Phoenix and San Jose—representative of the seven million nationally with at least one immigrant grandparent—he shows how people utilize such cultural resources as religion, spoken Spanish, and cross-national encounters to reinforce Mexican ethnicity in their daily lives. He then demonstrates that, although social integration for Mexican Americans shares many elements with that of European Americans, forces related to ethnic concentration, social inequality, and identity politics combine to make ethnicity for Mexican Americans more fixed across generations. Enhancing research already available on first- and second-generation Mexican Americans, Macias’s study also complements research done on other third-plus-generation ethnic groups and provides the empirical data needed to understand the commonalities and differences between them. His work plumbs the changing meaning of mestizaje in the Americas over five centuries and has much to teach us about the long-term assimilation and prospects of Mexican-origin people in the United States.
Download or read book Acculturation written by John W. Berry and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-08-29 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acculturation is the process of group and individual changes in culture and behaviour that result from intercultural contact. These changes have been taking place forever, and continue at an increasing pace as more and more peoples of different cultures move, meet and interact. Variations in the meanings of the concept, and some systematic conceptualisations of it are presented. This is followed by a survey of empirical work with indigenous, immigrant and ethnocultural peoples around the globe that employed both ethnographic (qualitative) and psychological (quantitative) methods. This wide-ranging research has been undertaken in a quest for possible general principles (or universals) of acculturation. This Element concludes with a short evaluation of the field of acculturation; its past, present and future.
