Rednecks, revivalists and roadkill : the construction of whiteness in an Appalachian townBaker, Hannah Rose Pilkington 04 January 2011 (has links)
This report examines the construction of whiteness in Appalachia through a close
study of two New Year’s Eve celebrations in a small community in Brasstown, North
Carolina. By examining these two celebrations, I draw out questions of race and
racialization that have been largely overlooked in the study of Appalachia and illustrate
the connections between the construction of a whitewashed Appalachian identity and the
construction of an equally pale national identity. This report challenges the idea that
Appalachia as a region is “racially innocent” and therefore does not play a role in
discussions of race in America. On the contrary, I show that Appalachia’s position as a
site of production of a national culture and identity means that in the context of
Appalachia, race and racialization demand scrutiny as a means for understanding what
“whiteness” is. / text

The lived experience of being privileged as a white English-speaking young adult in post-apartheid South Africa: a phenomenological study.Truscott, Ross Brian. January 2007 (has links)
<p>Although transformation processes are making progress in addressing racial inequality in post-apartheid South Africa, white South Africans are, in many repects, still privileged, economically, in terms of access to services, land, education and particularly in the case of English-speaking whites, language. This study is an exploration of everyday situations of inequality as they have been experienced from a position of advantage. As a qualitative, phenomenological study, the aim was to derive the psychological essence of the experience of being privileged as white English-speaking young adult within the context of post-apartheid South African everyday life.</p>

Haunted Middletown, USA : an analysis of supernatural beliefs of Protestants in Muncie, Indiana / Haunted Middletown, United States of AmericaHolditch, Lauren Elizabeth 04 May 2013 (has links)
In the early twenty-first century, Americans have been showing a high interest in ghosts and hauntings, as evidenced by the overwhelming amount of supernatural media available. Despite this, there has been little anthropological research specifically investigating the relationship between popular ghost beliefs and America’s largest system of supernatural beliefs- Protestant Christianity. This study uses qualitative research methods to examine the beliefs of Protestants in Muncie, Indiana, and whether they participate in popular ghost culture. Results suggest that while Muncie Protestants do not generally believe in ghosts, they accept the possibility that demonic forces can haunt locations and interact with humans. Most of those informants who do believe in ghosts base their beliefs on personal experiences. However, in the case of demonic beliefs, this was not necessary. Informants state that their beliefs about demons are based on Christian media sources, such as literature and the Internet, rather than church teachings. Although the Muncie Protestants interviewed here consider it dangerous to participate directly in efforts to communicate with the deceased, most consistently watch reality television shows about the paranormal, as the media provides a degree of separation in which they can safely participate in ghost culture. / Department of Anthropology

Moral obligation and motivation to control prejudice mediate the relationship between egalitarianism and prejudice-related personal standards / Prejudice-related personal standardsLupo, Amber K. January 2008 (has links)
This study investigated low- and high-prejudice whites' personal standards for prejudiced behavior toward African-Americans, gays and lesbians, and Arab-Americans. Using structural equation modeling, the study examined whether feelings of moral obligation, internal motivation to respond without prejudice, and concern with acting prejudiced each mediate the relationship between egalitarianism as defined as equality of opportunity and personal standards. Because the low-prejudice groups uniformly demonstrated non-prejudiced personal standards, the proposed models could not be fit for these groups. Across the high-prejudice groups, however, results indicated that the mediating models demonstrated only fair to poor fit. Moreover, the fit of two alternative models were evaluated; a discussion of theoretical and practical implications and directions for future research are discussed. / Department of Psychological Science

Whites opposition to race targeted policies : the effects of racial attitudes and self-interestMay, Melissa M. January 2004 (has links)
This study examined the effects of white's opposition to race targeted policies. Using the 1998 General Social Survey this paper investigated self-interest and racial attitudes theories to help explain levels of opposition to giving government aid to blacks, preference in hiring blacks and the amount of assistance given to blacks. Ordinary Least Squares (OLS), Logit, and Ordered Logit regression models are used to test these two theories of white's opposition. The self-interest hypothesis states that whites who have higher levels of self-interest are less likely to support race targeted policies. Findings do not have strong support for the self-interest hypothesis. However, the racial attitudes hypothesis, which states whites who believe that African Americans' have lower levels of ability are less likely to support race targeted policies, was supported. Based on this study's findings; individuals who possess racist attitudes are more likely to oppose race based policies than self-interest attitudes. / Department of Sociology
