Crossing the Divide: Voice and Representation of African Americans : Kathryn Stockett and Harper Lee: - I understand the weight of history but can I be your sister? / African American IssuesAtmaca, Munevver January 2016 (has links)
This project examines how the oppression of African Americans, especially those in domestic service to white families, is reflected in literature. The two works The Help and To Kill a Mockingbird will be the main sources. I investigate issues of race and skin colour, as well as the depiction of the ‘black’ and‘ white’ races in America in literature. Yet I will also make use of writers on African American issues to evaluate the writings on the main works concerned. What I will try to establish is whether the two authors (Kathryn Stockett and Harper Lee) effectively give a voice to the less empowered African-American segment of US society (this question of empowerment will be addressed below). And most importantly, I attempt to understand how two white women from relatively privileged backgrounds can reach across the supposed racial divide and, through aesthetic expression. I contend that peaceful protest and the mobilization of the arts in all its forms raised awareness of the terrible wrongs suffered by African Americans in the timeframe concerned in this work – anawareness raised not just in the USA but also around the world - and led to a new situation in which discrimination is not only illegal, but also widely acknowledged as deeply wrong.

"En todo se hallaron los tlaxcaltecas": The Measure of Conquest in Sixteenth-Century New SpainAmaral, Jannette January 2014 (has links)
This dissertation exposes the pivotal nature of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century geographic discourses and practices --both European, indigenous and mestizo--in the articulation of strategies of power, resistance, and negotiation in the kingdoms of the New World. Focusing on the Descripción de la ciudad y provincia de Tlaxcala (1580-1585) by Diego Muñoz Camargo - a manuscript that is part of the relaciones geográficas de Indias corpus and contains a voluminous alphabetic text written in Spanish and a pictographic text of 156 images - this dissertation proposes to expand our understanding of the rhetorical resources and repertoire of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century writers in New Spain by studying the cultural innovations produced in the exchange, appropriation, and re-articulation of diverse written and pictographic traditions coming from both sides of the Atlantic. Focusing on geographic discourses -which take the form of prose geography, cartography, map making, land and itinerary measurements, symbols, simulacra, and Mesoamerican ideo-pictographic writing of geographic meaning or value - this dissertation discusses how these innovations are an integral part in the articulation of a Tlaxcalteca discourse of conquest and privilege that seeks to conceptualize and regulate notions of territoriality, movement, and network in the recently globalized world at the end of the sixteenth century.

Intraethnic diversity : an exploratory study of ethnic identity of Chinese American adolescentsLee, Phyllis S. 25 April 1983 (has links)
The purpose of the study was to explore the ethnic identity of
Chinese American adolescents through the investigation of
relationships between ethnic identity and selected demographic,
sociocultural, and psychological characteristics.
Data were obtained from 106 Chinese American youth between the
ages of 14 and 21 through the use of two instruments designed for the
study. Three dimensions of ethnic identity were measured by subscales
of the Sinoethnic Identity Scale. Demographic, sociocultural, and
psychological data were obtained from the Background Information
Survey.
The strongest ethnic identities were found in the traditional, or
core, dimension which was comprised of fundamental values, customs,
and traditions. Weaker ethnic identities were exhibited in the
intermediate, or familial, dimension which was responsible for the
transmission of the ethnic culture as well as the preparations for
interfacing the larger society. It was suspected that this dimension
held the greatest potential for intercultural and intragenerational
conflicts for Chinese American adolescents. The neutral stance taken
in the societal dimension suggested two divergent interpretations:
students may be exhibiting ambivalent feelings toward their ethnic
identities within the scheme of life, or students may have come to
terms with the notion of bicultural identities.
Step-wise multiple regression was used to analyze the data.
School achievement emerged as the most significant variable in the
traditional dimension, suggesting that a Chinese heritage may not
ensure school success, but school success contributed to the
definition of being Chinese. In the familial dimension it was found
that the gender of the subject was the most important variable.
Subjects appeared to be highly socialized into ethnically appropriate
sex roles, although there were indications of disagreement with the
actual practice of these roles. Church attendance was identified as
the most significant variable of the societal dimension. Those who
attended church exhibited stronger agreement with ethnically
appropriate social behaviors and expressed preferences for social
activities and relationships within the ethnic community.
The findings indicated that ethnic identity was a
multidimensional aspect in the lives of Chinese American youth. The
three dimensions that comprised Chinese ethnic identity appeared to be
differentially affected by demographic, sociocultural, and
psychological phenomena. It was also speculated that there was a
relationship between the acknowledgement and expression of ethnic
identity and historical and contemporary social , economic, and
political conditions of society.
The range of intraethnic diversity expressed by Chinese American
adolescents suggested the need for reexamination of assumptions and
expectations currently held by educational personnel. Recommendations
for future research which might lead to the provision of educational
policies and practices appropriate to Chinese American youth, a more
informed understanding of the Chinese experience in the United States,
and a greater understanding of the impact of ethnic identity in the
lives of minority youth were presented. / Graduation date: 1983
