Este artículo presenta los resultados de mi estudio sobre raza y etnicidad en el folclor de Belice, en el cual examiné tres volúmenes inéditos de canciones e historias folclóricas criollas recolectadas por Ervin Beck, asi como 400 páginas de mi colección inédita de narrativa folclórica criolla e hispana de Belice. En estos materiales encontré pocas referencias a aspectos raciales y étnicos, lo cual permite afirmar que existe un bajo nivel de tensión interracial en Belice.

Abstract:
SummaryData from the 1991 Belize Family Health Survey show differentials in the use of maternal and child health services between ethnic groups (Creole, Mestizo, Maya/Ketchi and Garifuna). Multivariate analysis is used to explore whether such differentials can truly be attributed to ethnicity or to other characteristics that distinguish the ethnic groups. Health services considered are: family planning, place of delivery (hospital/other), postpartum and newborn check-ups after a birth, and immunisations for children. The language usually spoken in the household is found to be important for interpreting ethnic differentials. Mayan-speaking Maya/Ketchis are significantly less likely to use family planning services or to give birth in a hospital. Spanish-speakers (Mestizos and Maya/Ketchis) are less likely to use newborn and postpartum check-ups, after controlling for other characteristics. There are no ethnic differentials for immunisations. Programmatic implications of these results are discussed.

Abstract:
The development of tourism and more importantly eco-tourism has emerged as a primary objective for the government of Belize, Central America. This study examines two villages Seine Bight and Placencia located on a peninsula occupied by separate ethnic groups (Garifuna and Creole) that is located on a peninsula in Southern Belize. Seine Bight and Placencia are undergoing a change in economic activity to tourism. The study attempts to understand the role of ethnicity, socio-economic status, amount of contact with tourists, and the environment in regard to attitudes towards tourism utilizing quantitative and qualitative methods. The study also attempts to understand the organization and disorganization of productive activity on the peninsula and ethnicity over space and time. The point of diffusion and contact of different groups is reflected archeologically and historically in the marine landscape. The peninsula served not only as a natural harbor for those sailing up and down the coastline over time but also served as a point of diffusion of different groups reflected in changing place names, such as Placentia, Point Patient, and Pasciencia.

Abstract:
This paper analyzes racist discourse resulting from and related to California's Proposition 187. Contrary to the views of politicians and economists, I maintain that 187 is indeed a racist measure designed to prevent the entry of people of color, mostly Latinos, into California. Analyses of racist discourse should be contextualized within issues of power, cultural difference, space, culture, and nationalism. After outlining theories of racism, I use Teun van Dijk's work on racist discourse to analyze some of the discursive strategies employed in relation to Proposition 187. The next section discusses the discourse of resistance in Tucson, Arizona and California. Some attention is given to the symbolic violence against Latinos. I argue that discourse cannot be separated from the material world in which it is practiced.

Abstract:
L'Amérique latine a connu, dans les années 1980, un " tournant multiculturel " qui a notamment fait émerger les " populations noires " ou " afrodescendantes " sur la scène publique où elles réclamaient une place en tant que " groupe ethnique ", les caractéristiques de cette ethnicité faisant l'objet de débats politiques et scientifiques. Ce " tournant " ouvrait à de nombreux travaux sur la revendication d'une citoyenneté ethnique, la mise en place de politiques de la différence et la valorisation de pratiques culturelles ; mais il obligeait aussi à revenir en arrière, sur la configuration de sociétés qualifiées de métisses que le nouveau paradigme multiculturel était censé transformer, voire corriger. En ce sens, le métissage était interprété comme une forme de dilution des différences, d'" invisibilisation " des populations noires dans un récit national n'acceptant que l'altérité indienne. Entre l'" autre " et le " même ", le " noir " occupe une position ambiguë, qui mêle saillance et disparition, altérité et similitude, négation et indifférence ; cette situation intermédiaire entre altérité et ressemblance constitue le fil directeur de ce mémoire. Elle se retrouve dans ma propre pratique de la recherche, entre sociologie et anthropologie, entre contemporanéité et distance, entre " ici " et " là-bas ".

Abstract:
This work is part of a larger problem about the questions on ethnicity, whose analytical approach is made from the universe maroon, located in a "space" can be understood as "ethnic" and "urban". The research enters narratives about social practices symbolically experienced from their symbolic modalities of negotiation with reality in a "space" practiced, which is based on invented traditions that reveal strategies to produce ways of life, which distinguish this urban group as a community. In this sense, there is the production of an identity sometimes experienced when defined practices of daily life, where space happens to be experienced by the daily rituals at the same time they are transmitted to the new generations, creating and maintaining a sense of belonging in relation to space, and their collective representations, including that by transiting uses attributed by residents and their other name given to the place.Now thematized, when through the Black Beauty contest CRILIBER, builds a strategy to put a public social situation, which is based from the construction of a sense of belonging to the space where the maroon is concerned, as a way of claiming through building networks of sociability, they carry a double meaning to give greater visibility to the quilombo Longhouse, thus enabling the strengthening among residents' sense of belonging to the place.
Este trabalho é parte de uma problemática maior acerca das questões sobre etnicidade, cujo recorte analítico é feito a partir do universo quilombola, situado em um “espaço” possível a ser entendido como “étnico” e “urbano”. A pesquisa adentra narrativas sobre as práticas sociais simbolicamente vivenciadas, a partir de suas modalidades simbólicas de negociação com a realidade, em um “espaço” praticado, o qual se fundamenta nas tradições inventadas, que revelam estratégias de produção de modos de vida, as quais distinguem esse grupo urbano enquanto uma comunidade. Neste sentido, destaca-se a produção de uma identidade experimentada, quando definidas a partir das práticas do cotidiano, onde o espaço passa a ser vivenciado pelos rituais diários, ao mesmo tempo em que é transmitida para as novas gerações, criando e mantendo sentimentos de pertença em relação ao espaço; e suas respectivas representações coletivas, que, inclusive, transitam pelos usos atribuídos pelos moradores e seus outros ao nome dado ao lugar. Ora tematizada, quando através do concurso Beleza Negra CRILIBER, constrói uma estratégia de colocar publicamente a situação social sobre a qual é estruturado o sentido étnico atribuído ao espaço por seus moradores possibilitando maior visibilidade para o quilombo Maloca, na medida em que, fortalece entre estes o sentimento de pertença ao lugar.

Abstract:
This study examines recurring motifs and personas in hip-hop. Interviews with influential hip-hop scholars, writers and music industry personnel were conducted and analyzed using qualitative methods. Interview subjects were selected based on their insider knowledge as music critics, hip-hop scholars, ethnomusicologists, publicists, and music industry positions. The vast majority of constructed imagery in hip-hop is based on a single persona, the gangsta. This qualitative analysis reveals why gangsta personas and motifs have become the de facto imagery of hip-hop. Gangsta imagery is repeatedly presented because it sells, it is the most readily-available role, and because of music industry pressures. This study is significant because gangsta imagery impacts African American social knowledge and the generalized perception of blackness. Gangsta imagery has also served to alienate black culture and has caused rifts in the African American community.

Abstract:
Approximately one in every seven American men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime. Men of African descent have higher incidence and mortality rates than others. Prostate cancer screening is important because the five-year survival rate is only 31% post-metastasis. The purpose of this study was to assess the likelihood of action for and factors influencing choice regarding prostate screenings. It was also to determine if a relationship existed between ethnicity (African American and Afro-Caribbean American men) and knowledge of prostate health, self-efficacy, perceived barriers to and belief regarding prostate screening. Data collection methods included a focus group (n = 8) among African American and Afro-Caribbean American men (M = 53.8, 10.3) and self-administered surveys (n = 113) among African American (n = 49, 45.4%) and Afro-Caribbean American (n = 38, 35.2%) men (M = 59.5, 16.4) from churches in South Florida using convenience sampling and the Health Belief Model (HBM) as a framework. Knowledge was assessed using a combined version of the Knowledge and Practice of Prostate Health Questionnaire and Prostate Cancer Screening Education (PROCASE) Knowledge Index. Self-efficacy was measured as decisional conflict reported from the Low Literacy Decisional Conflict Scale. Barriers were identified from a Perceived Barriers Survey. Beliefs were measured as spiritual well-being and evaluated using the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Spiritual Well-Being, a modified version for non-illness (FACIT-Sp Non-Illness). Almost half of African American (47.9%) and nearly a third (29%) of Afro-Caribbean American participants were unaware of participation or did not participate in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing. Findings indicated prostate screening concerns, inadequate knowledge, past negative experiences, and cost may contribute to low prostate screening rates. Both ethnicities did not differ in knowledge of prostate health or self-efficacy for making an informed decision regarding prostate screening. Potential targets for outreach efforts among these ethnic groups could include faith-based medical partnerships to diminish health disparities. Future intervention studies would benefit from a focus on diverse cultures and ethnicities in different settings and culturally appropriate strategies for nurses and other health professionals to use when assisting patients with informed decision making regarding prostate cancer screening.

Abstract:
Le Territoire de Quintana Roo, au sud-est du Mexique, à la frontière avec le Belize, naît en 1902. Confrontées à une population très peu nombreuse, les autorités locales et nationales mettent en œuvre des mesures pour attirer de nouveaux habitants. Et pour les définir. Dans cette région périphérique, le peuplement constitue un enjeu stratégique d'affirmation de la souveraineté et de l'identité nationales. Il manifeste l'affirmation d'un biopouvoir - et de ses limites - amenant à imposer les caractéristiques raciales et nationales de la population. Cette recherche mène une sociologie historique portant à la fois sur la racialisation des politiques migratoires, l'instauration de mesures d'intégration et de développement de la région (expéditions scientifiques, accès aux terres, type d'exploitation foncière) et les négociations entre administrations du centre (Mexico) et de la périphérie (Payo Obispo - Chetumal). En s'intéressant à l'émergence d'une nouvelle entité politico-administrative à la marge de la nation et en inscrivant le Mexique au sein des sociétés post-esclavagistes marquées par les migrations de travailleurs afrodescendants, il s'agit ainsi d'introduire une altérité autre qu'indienne dans les réflexions sur la nation, le métissage et la race, à partir du cas de l'étranger noir. Ce manuscrit revient sur les logiques d'inclusion et d'exclusion propres aux politiques de métissage dans le Mexique post-révolutionnaire, en proposant un double décalage : étudier la place des populations noires plus que celle des indiens ; se centrer sur l'immigration plus que sur l'autochtonie.

Abstract:
Exploring the ontological politics of disco, this chapter historically explains the use of improvised social dancing in the formation of an alternative ethnicity among gay men and lesbians. The chapter argues that improvised social dancing (and disco in particular) has helped create a shared sense of culture for gay people that mimics ethnogenesis, insofar as disco offered an oppressed group a shared sense of belonging, communality, and identity. Like traditional ethnic dances, disco (and its progeny—techno, house, trance, tribal, etc.) perpetuates not only aesthetics, but also belief structures, linguistic/behavioral patterns, and social relations by providing a space wherein queer interpersonal and social bonds have been created and sustained. In turn, these bonds have contributed to the construction of lines of descent and inheritance, as well as shared ideas about common ancestry and history that parallel ethnic configurations of kinship.

Abstract:
Since the mid-nineteenth century, the term “ethnic” has come to mean “member of a group of people with a set of shared characteristics,” including a belief in common descent. As such, “ethnic groups” refer to human groups that entertain a subjective belief in their common descent because of similarities of physical or customs type or both, or because of memories of colonization and migration. Ethnic phenomena are primarily explained through the “primordialist” and “instrumentalist” explanations. Primordialism holds that ethnicity is a constitutive and permanent feature of human nature. Instrumentalists argue that ethnicity is a social construct with the purpose of achieving political or material gain. However, the real debate is among constructivists over whether ethnicity should be studied from the participant or the observer perspective. Meanwhile, it is difficult to determine exactly when and where “the nation” first became identified with “the people” as it is today, but the process is closely tied to the rise of popular sovereignty and representative democracy. When nations and nationalism became the subject of academic inquiry, three positions emerged: “modernism,” which holds that both nations and nationalism are modern phenomena; “perennialism,” which argues that nationalist ideology is modern, but nations date back to at least the Middle Ages; and “ethno-symbolism,” a combination of the previous two. Most contemporary classifications of nations and nationalism are typological, the most prominent of which identify two dichotomous types, such as the distinction between “civic” and “ethnic” nationalism. Other classifications are better described as taxonomies.

Abstract:
‘Misappropriations, disparagements, and lapses’ first considers one of the most prominent misrepresentations of liberalism: neoliberalism. In terms of liberal morphology, neoliberals confine the core liberal concept of rationality to maximizing economic advantage. It also discusses the rise of neoliberalism in Eastern Europe after the collapse of the Soviet Union; pseudo liberals, such as the right-wing Austrian Freedom Party; the concept of liberal internationalism; the criticism of liberalism by Marxists; and the race, ethnicity, and gender discrimination issues of liberalism. It concludes with the emotional side of liberalism that is often overlooked. Liberals believe that liberalism’s rational ideas—at their best—inspire passion and commitment.

Abstract:
This book explores how a group of Victorian liberal writers that included George Eliot, Walter Pater, and Matthew Arnold became attracted to new theories of religion as a function of race and ethnicity. Since the early modern period, British liberals had typically constructed religion as a zone of personal belief that defined modern individuality and interiority. During the 1860s, however, Eliot, Arnold, and other literary liberals began to claim that religion could actually do the most for the modern self when it came as a kind of involuntary inheritance. Stimulated by the emerging science of anthropology, they imagined that religious experiences embedded in race or ethnicity could render the self heterogeneous, while the individual who insisted upon selecting his or her own beliefs would become narrow and parochial. By rethinking the grounds of religion, this book argues, these writers were ultimately trying to shift liberal individualism away from a classical Protestant liberalism that celebrated interiority and agency toward one that valorized eclecticism and the capacity to keep multiple values in play. More broadly, their work offers us a new picture of secularization, not as a process of religious decline, but as the reworking of religion into an ordinary feature of human life—like art, or politics, or sex—whose function could be debated.

Abstract:
In the 1930s, “Jewish dance” emerged in the United States as a category that drifted between ethnic and modern dance. Although some Jewish choreographers were able to transcend their ethnicity through the universalism of modern dance, others, like Belle Didjah and Dvora Lapson, were ghettoized by their overtly Jewish characterizations of Hasidic Jews or exotic Jewesses. Despite their exclusion from modern-dance history, Didjah and Lapson identified with modern dance, reinvented cultural traditions and rituals for the stage, and used the solo form to imagine expanded roles for women. Although some of their dances emphasized Jewish difference over assimilation, they aimed to make a place for Jewish expression on the American concert stage, and to expand possibilities for constructing Jewish-American identities through a mode of performance that was both ethnic and modern.

Abstract:
Cultures are an integral part of our being. We are born in cultures, which mould our behaviours, attitudes, and cognitions. Culture is a system of meanings and knowledge, belief systems, and morals as well as laws. Culture is acquired, and people change in response to culture and, in return, individuals change culture. Culture informs our world view and offers symbols with specific meanings, not only for individuals in that particular culture but also for others looking in. Culture needs to be differentiated from race and ethnicity. Furthermore, for migrants there are stages in the process of migration that affect their processes of acculturation, which can result in different types of adjustment in the new country, including assimilation, biculturalism, and deculturation. The response of the new country is also important in welcoming or rejecting migrants whatever their reason for migration. Cultural competence is a part of good clinical practice.

Abstract:
This book offers a bold account of how the Holocaust's status as humanity's most terrible example of evil has shaped contemporary discourses about victims in the West. Popular and scholarly attention to the Holocaust has led some observers to conclude that a “surfeit of Jewish memory” is obscuring the suffering of other peoples. The text explores the pervasive idea that suffering and trauma in the United States and Western Europe have become central to identity, with victims competing for recognition by displaying their collective wounds. It argues that this notion has never been examined systematically even though it now possesses the force of self-evidence. It developed in nascent form after World War II, when the near-annihilation of European Jewry began to transform patriotic mourning into a slogan of “Never Again”: as the Holocaust demonstrated, all people might become victims because of their ethnicity, race, gender, or sexuality—because of who they are. The recent concept that suffering is central to identity and that Jewish suffering under Nazism is iconic of modern evil has dominated public discourse since the 1980s. The book also argues that we believe that the rational contestation of grievances in democratic societies is being replaced by the proclamation of injury and the desire to be a victim. Such dramatic and yet culturally powerful assertions, however, cast suspicion on victims and define their credibility in new ways that require analysis.

Following Crimea’s incorporation into Russia in March 2014, the Crimean parliament adopted a new constitution granting official status to Russian, Ukrainian and Crimean Tatar. Despite the official multi-ethnicity and multilingualism of Crimea now constitutionally acknowledged, however, there is reason to believe that the formally proclaimed equality of the three languages has not translated into equality in practice. Among the areas where the inequality in language promotion and support is most noticeable, language education policy and language use in public place play a special role.

Abstract:
Abstract Policymakers across Europe have increasingly emphasised the importance of paying close attention to the social dimension of higher education and taking further steps to ensure that the composition of Europe’s universities more adequately reflects the diversity of the wider population. While there have been a number of studies that have explored this through analyses of European- and national-level policy and others that have assessed a range of quantitative indicators related to student diversity, this chapter assumes, in contrast, an interpretivist stance; it is interested in the perspectives of those studying and working ‘on the ground’ within the European Higher Education Area. Specifically, we seek to answer this research question: To what extent do students and staff, across Europe, believe that higher education access and experiences are differentiated by social characteristics (such as class/family background, race/ethnicity/migration background, gender and age)? In doing so, we draw on data from a large European Research Council-funded project, including 54 focus groups with undergraduate students (a total of 295 individuals) and 72 in-depth individual interviews with members of higher education staff (both academic and non-academic). Fieldwork was conducted in three higher education institutions in each of the following countries: Denmark, UK-England, Germany, Ireland, Poland and Spain—nations chosen to provide diversity with respect to welfare regime, relationship to the European Union and mechanisms for funding higher education. We explore commonalities and differences between staff and students and between different countries, before identifying some implications for policymakers keen to promote further social inclusion within Europe’s higher education institutions (HEIs).

Abstract:
Race and culture are uniquely different descriptions of all people. Physical characteristics, genetic variations, and geographic location(s) versus the traditions, faiths, and belief systems with which human beings are brought up position each person to view and experience the world and their immediate environments differently. Hence, when people of different races and cultural backgrounds enter the healthcare system, a cultural clash can occur. Evidence of this cultural clash can be manifested, for example, in language barriers, health literacy, and dietary and medication adherence issues. Healthcare workers and providers working collaboratively with professionals in the community can positively enhance the care that affected persons and their families receive, thus breaking the health disparity cycle.

Abstract:
Three beliefs shape much of what occurs on campuses. Taken together, these three beliefs make up a worldview that readily compromises certain values (like respect for free speech and viewpoint diversity) when they are viewed as conflicting with the goals of protecting against claims of harm. The first belief is that any action to undermine or replace traditional frameworks is by definition a good thing. The second belief is that, absent the hand of discriminatory actors, all group-level outcomes would be equal. The third belief is in the primacy of identity, which is commonly invoked through race, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or gender identity.

Abstract:
This chapter argues that a substantive definition of religion provides considerable clarity, enabling us helpfully to differentiate religion from culture, ethnicity and politics. Such differentiation has become possible only with the rise of the modern West. The secularization thesis claims that with modernity religion loses its importance. This thesis is commonly held to be wrong; this book by contrast upholds the thesis, from a novel standpoint. Secularization is usually argued with reference to affiliation and attendance, with belief less analyzed. This book directly addresses the issue of contemporary belief and argues that belief (or a cognitive element) is integral to religion substantively understood. Traditionally, this cognition has entailed reference to otherworldly forces, and it is this otherworldly reference that modernity has peripheralized. Identity in the modern world increasingly has marginalized supernatural referents.

Abstract:
There is very little research about how consumers of different races trust online marketing information from businesses or government when making expensive purchase decisions such as cancer treatment medicine. In this article, a large cross-cultural sample was surveyed to evaluate trust belief levels for common online information sources when making risky purchase decisions. Trust belief levels of online information sources were significantly different across ethnicity and gender when making risky decision. Females across all ethnicities held higher trust beliefs for online information sources, and Asian females in particular had the highest trust beliefs for online data from library research to health care providers. Trust belief levels were lower for online social media and bank/financial institution online information sources for risky purchase decisions. These findings can be used by leaders, political authorities, and consumer behavior marketing managers to segment consumers by demographic characteristics.

Abstract:
This study explores how intersecting identities based on disability, ethnicity and religion impact the wellbeing of deaf Uzbek Jehovah’s Witnesses in post-Soviet Uzbekistan. By analysing the collected ethnographic data and semi-structured interviews with deaf people, Islamic religious figures, and state officials in the capital city Tashkent, it provides the case of how a reaction of a majority religious group to the freedom of religious belief contributes to the marginalisation and exclusion of religious deaf minorities who were converted from Islam to the Jehovah’s Witnesses. The paper argues that the insensitivity of the dominant Muslim communities to the freedom of religious belief of deaf Uzbek Christian converts excluded them from their project activities and allocation of resources provided by the newly established Islamic Endowment Public charity foundation ‘Vaqf’. Deaf people in Uzbekistan are often stigmatised and discriminated against based on their disability identity, and religious inequality may further exacerbate existing challenges, lead to unintended exclusionary tendencies within the local deaf communities, and ultimately inhibit the formation of collective deaf identity and agency to advocate for their legitimate rights and interests.
