This book was released on 2014-10-16 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most important functions of religion is to serve as a basis of identity. This collection of essays by Ali A. Mazrui, a distinguished scholar of Islam, discusses how Islam differentiates Muslims from non-Muslims and affects how Muslims view each other. In the light of the upheaval currently occurring in the Muslim world, this collection provides readers with valuable context for the challenges of modernity and multiculturalism faced by Muslims. In these essays, Mazrui deploys his formidable knowledge of theology, history, and Muslim societies to analyze the theological, historical, and political influences on Muslim identity. In his usual style of comparative analysis, Mazrui draws most frequently in these essays from examples in Africa, the Middle East, South Asia and Muslim communities in the West. These essays delve into the complexities of Muslim identity and stratification, and provide contributions to key debates on modern Islamic political ideology. These essays will be of interest to readers engaged with Islam, religion, culture, comparative politics and international relations.
Book Synopsis I Too Dream America by : Darlington Ndubuike
Download or read book I Too Dream America written by Darlington Ndubuike and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2004-05 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I Too Dream America is based on a true story. My aim is to present this culture in a form that informs and teaches you, allows you to make cross-cultural connections, and create the opportunity for you to see your own culture through this cultural mirror. In the pages that follow, you will learn mostly about the customs and beliefs of this African culture. Some of the customs and beliefs you are about to encounter in this volume may shock you, amaze you, amuse you, or leave you awe-inspired. You may find the whole thing fascinating. Whatever emotion you come away with as you thumb through these pages, it is my hope that you will hold on to something that is life changing for you- for the better. The purpose of this book is to emphasize similarities between cultures, heighten students' consciousness about ethnic diversity and appreciation for their own ethnic heritage. Although the African culture is presented in this story, it is the universality of the issues discussed that is important. I have done everything I could to make this journey to a strange world as easy as possible without compromising the very essence of cultural discovery. I hope that you will get a lot from this book, and it will change your views about life, yourself, your culture, and the cultures of other peoples of the world. As a teacher, I am aware of the need to educate people, especially our children, on the cultures of other peoples. I have, therefore, included discussion on the socio-cultural issues and cross-cultural issues from an ethnographic perspective and incorporated strategies for teaching this culture and the cultures of other ethnic groups. You really do not need to study the culture of every group before you can begin to teach in a multicultural classroom. The idea is that once you have mastered the strategy for teaching the culture of one ethnic group, you can teach the culture of any ethnic group. This is necessary because, as Takaki (1993) notes, all students in America today need to know much more about the origins and history of the particular cultures which, as Americans, they will encounter during their lives. Finally, it is my heart's desire to impress upon you, the teacher, the fact that every student that enters your classroom, like the little boy in this story, comes with a dream. It is your responsibility to keep every student's dream alive, to focus every one of them, and to motivate each of them to achieve his or her purposes. All children want to succeed. They, too, dream America. As Dr. Hanson observes, "I Too Dream America gives readers a tantalizing glimpse into a world few Americans have experienced or imagined. As he relates his youthful experiences in Nigeria, we are simotaneously intrigued and astonished by the sense of participation his stories deliver. He makes it possible for readers to share his adventures, successes, and tragedies as participants in his vivid memories of a unique African cultural heritage." Dr. Allen notes, "It captures the spirit of voice of every parent, teacher and child who would like to understand the culture of other countries. It is a look at the African culture through the eyes of a native who has come to America and now lives the American dream. It gives direction to teachers, parents and students on how to understand and appreciate the culture and contributions of every child that shows up on the steps of an American school, seeking an education that would lead him or her to the American dream. It brings to life the desires of every parent and the aspirations of every child"
Book Synopsis African Minorities in the New World by : Toyin Falola
Download or read book African Minorities in the New World written by Toyin Falola and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-11-13 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book uncovers the reality that new African immigrants now represent a significant force in the configuration of American polity and identity especially in the last forty years. Despite their minority status, African immigrants are making their marks in various areas of human endeavor and accomplishments—from academic, to business, to even scientific inventions. The demographic shift is both welcome news as well as a matter for concern given the consequences of displacement and the paradoxes of exile in the new location. By its very connection to the ‘Old African Diaspora,’ the notion of a ‘New African Diaspora’ marks a clear indication of a historical progression reconnecting continental Africa with the New World without the stigma of slavery. Yet, the notion of trans-Atlantic slavery is never erased when the African diaspora is mentioned whether in the old or new world. Within this paradoxical dispensation, the new African diaspora must be conceived as the aftermath of a global migration crisis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American folklife is steeped in world cultures, or invented as new culture, always evolving, yet often practiced as it was created many years or even centuries ago. This fascinating encyclopedia explores the rich and varied cultural traditions of folklife in America - from barn raisings to the Internet, tattoos, and Zydeco - through expressions that include ritual, custom, crafts, architecture, food, clothing, and art. Featuring more than 350 A-Z entries, "Encyclopedia of American Folklife" is wide-ranging and inclusive. Entries cover major cities and urban centers; new and established immigrant groups as well as native Americans; American territories, such as Guam and Samoa; major issues, such as education and intellectual property; and expressions of material culture, such as homes, dress, food, and crafts. This encyclopedia covers notable folklife areas as well as general regional categories. It addresses religious groups (reflecting diversity within groups such as the Amish and the Jews), age groups (both old age and youth gangs), and contemporary folk groups (skateboarders and psychobillies) - placing all of them in the vivid tapestry of folklife in America. In addition, this resource offers useful insights on folklife concepts through entries such as "community and group" and "tradition and culture." The set also features complete indexes in each volume, as well as a bibliography for further research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arthur documents the role that Africa's best and brightest play in the new migration of population from less developed countries to the United States. He highlights how Africans negotiate and forge relationships among themselves and with the members of the host society. Multiple aspects of the African immigrants' social world, family patterns, labor force participation, and formation of cultural identities are also examined. He lays out the long term aspirations of the immigrants within the context of the geo-political, economic, and social conditions in Africa. Ultimately, Arthur explains why people leave Africa, what they encounter, their interactions with the host society, and their attitudes about American social institutions. He also provides information about the social changes and policies that African countries need to adopt to stem the tide, or even reverse, the African brain drain. A detailed analysis for scholars, students, and other researchers involved with African and immigration studies and contemporary American society.
Book Synopsis Skin Color as a Post-colonial Issue Among Asian-Americans by : Ronald E. Hall

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Without minimizing White racism or other forms of Western social ills, and without criticizing or passing judgements on Asian-American, Hall (human ecology and social work, Michigan State U.) offers some insight into the implications of skin color for Asian-Americans, demonstrating a form of interaction among those who would otherwise be considered post-colonial victims. Among the dimensions he explores are the sport of color, psychological colonization, the bleaching syndrome, a survey of Asian's color bias in the Philippines, what Asian-American women say, Eurasian identity, racism though skin color, and beyond race.

Book Synopsis A Critical History of the American Red Cross, 1882-1945 by : Gwendolyn C. Shealy
Download or read book A Critical History of the American Red Cross, 1882-1945 written by Gwendolyn C. Shealy and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was assumed by many, including the Red Cross, that the Geneva Treaty was being honored, that food parcels were reaching the starving Allied prisoners, and that the Red Cross was relaying accurate information to the homefront concerning the welfare of captive soldiers. Shealy's work provides data from declassified military documents and Red Cross documents deeded to the National Archives and the library of Congress. Coupled with mainstream sources, her research offers a revisionist perspective of the American Red Cross era from 1882 to 1945. Additionally, the Red Cross, usually above reproach, turned the mirror initself with candid monographs written post-WWII to 1950. These discourse, documents and letters reveal the agency's struggle to reconcile itself with policy not always in step with its recipients.
