Abstract:

In literary theory, the works of (ethnic) minority authors–and similarly, the works of authors dealing with minorities–are often referred to as “assimilation narrative.” This term tends to suggest that minority authors, who write in the language of their country, seek a place in society through assimilation. Assimilation, however, means melting up in the majority nation by adopting all the values, customs and way of life characteristic of the majority, and abandoning, leaving behind, giving up the original traditional values, ethics, lifestyle, religion etc. of the minority. Assimilation means

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the literature on minority-owned commercial banks in the USA. Design/methodology/approach – The authors examine performance differences between African-American (AA) commercial banks and other minority (OM)-owned banks. Also, the authors compare AA bank performance with that of their peer-group banking institutions. Findings – Employing data both before and after the recessionary period of 2008-2009, the authors find significant performance differences between minority ownership categories. For example, prior to 2008, AA banks held a sign

Abstract:

The withdrawal of American troops from Iraq marks the beginning of a new stage in the history of that country. Iraq once again becomes a sovereign independent state. From now on, the huge task of ensuring security and putting an end to the terrible internal strife must be entrusted to the local authority. It is crucial to find a compromise solution to the Sunni-Shiite conflict. To achieve this end, the central power has to be really inclusive, giving the Sunnis their legitimate place in governing the country. The worst scenario would be the establishment of a Shiite-dominated regime that is pr

The present study contextualizes how symbolism is employed by writers of ethnically minority in the United States as an avenue of their agency and criticism against the dominant white perspective.

Abstract:

American dramatists arrived in the Spanish theaters rather late, in the 1950s. In the beginning they were generally represented by non-professional theater groups (exemplified here by Dido Pequeño Teatro) that aimed to challenge the obsolete plays produced on the mainstream stages during Franco’s dictatorship (1939-1975). Thanks to these companies that were an alternative to the commercial theaters, Spanish audiences gradually discovered many contemporary playwrights whose plays were being staged in the rest of Europe at the time.

The authors of this article are both sociologists working just 10 miles from Harrisonburg, Virginia—the scene of the Ivan Teleguz case—which involved a host of topical issues, from fears of organized Russian criminal activity in the United States to American xenophobia about migrant-perpetrated violence. The authors dove into a qualitative analysis of all relevant trial transcripts and court filings, certain that they would find Teleguz cast as the villain of this courtroom drama. What they did not anticipate, however, was who emerged from the trial narrative as its hero: the hired killer.

First, I show how a wartime ban on English and American plays prompted an interest in Irish drama and the fluid status of the Irish canon

Abstract:

The article examines the effects of the socio-demographic transformations of the United States in 2020—2024 in the context of political polarization. Drawing on the approaches of political demography, the authors focus their attention on ethno-racial, age, territorial-demographic and socioeconomic aspects of these transformations. According to their hypothesis, the processes taking place in these spheres contribute to the increasing fragmentation of American society, which is also reflected in political polarization. Based on an extensive body of statistical data, the authors question the thes

Abstract Although mental health disorders affect people across the lifespan, older adults face unique issues associated with accessing mental health treatment. These structural and psychosocial challenges are further exacerbated among older racial and ethnic minorities. Often compared to their white counterparts, racial and ethnic minority older adults face specific cultural factors and other systemic barriers that create stark disparities in diagnosis, treatment, and access to care. Increasing research on identifying barriers to treatment for older racial and ethnic minority adults has been r

ABSTRACT: Like many Black intellectuals that came of age as apartheid was tightening its grip in the 1950s, Lewis Nkosi (1936–2010) left South Africa on a one-way ticket. Although he outlived apartheid and returned to his native land on and off after 1991, he lived abroad in the United States in the 1990s and in Europe in the 2000s. Although allied with the African National Congress in exile, he wrote skeptically about emphatic anti-apartheid writing. His essays from the 1950s on reflect his preference for cosmopolitan and experimental authors from Dostoyevsky to Kafka, in other words for mode

Aim. School segregation is a common theme of children’s books on minority groups living in the United States. Although it is primarily associated with black-white racial divisions, currently it also concerns white-Latino or rich-poor disparities. The aim of this paper is to analyse children’s picture books featuring Latino and African American characters who participate in the struggle against school segregation. The authors of the books, being members of racial minorities themselves, offer differing perspectives on the problem. Although they criticise school segregation, they also focus on th

Abstract:

Despite increases in the representation of African American and Hispanic youth in advanced math courses in high school over the past two decades, recent national reports indicate that substantial inequality in achievement remains. These inequalities can temper one’s optimism about the degree to which the United States has made real progress toward educational equity. Using data from the Education Longitudinal Study of 2002 (ELS), the authors find that the math achievement gap is most pronounced among those students who take the most demanding high school math classes, such as precalculus and c

In the collections of the earliest phonograph cylinders held by American memory institutions, a remarkable set of recordings with Czech content can be found under the title of Jedlička Records, derived from the name of Eduard Jedlička (1867–1944), a Czech immigrant to the US. The authors of the study present for the first time the story of the Moravian native who left his homeland in 1895 to pursue his American dream. Jedlička Records represent a valuable example of Czech (mostly traditional folk) songs popular among the Czech minority in the early 20th century. They also represent a significa

Photojournalism is an extremely demanding and complex professional specialization in the field of media production, which is associated with certain prejudices and contradictory evaluations. Regarding war photography, we often critically discuss whether it is more important to create authentic, albeit shocking testimonies visualizing the cruelty and meaninglessness of war, or whether we should prioritize the deeply personal, even intimate feelings of the people being portrayed while suffering and dying. The views of the general public on photojournalism are also largely influenced by the ways

The purpose of this research is to determine whether participating in “raced” organizations benefits underrepresented minority (URM) faculty members in their quest for tenure and promotion to associate professor of sociology.

Over time, raced organizations developed within the white-dominated institutions and were often created in opposition to white or “mainstream” sociolog
