Full textAbstract:
Community Cohesion was one of New Labour's most durable social policy programmes. Launched during the aftermath of the 2001 riots, due to concerns that segregation is exacerbated by the absence of day-to-day interaction between members of different ethnic 'groups'. In contrast to the alleged divisiveness of the protectionist multicultural model, its architects claimed Community Cohesion signalled a more sophisticated approach intended to establish shared commonalities in an era of increasing diversity. This thesis explores New Labour's transformations to 'race relations' and equalities practice at the end of the last decade, by examining the implementation of Community Cohesion in the city of Bristol. Central to the study is exploration of different understandings of identity, as cultural differences were perceived to be the root- cause of social fractures, while the promotion of a shared sense of belonging, experience, and values, the recommended solution. In particular, the research examines whether the advised approach of emphasising common similarities addressed the underlying causes of ethnic disadvantage. This research is intended to complement the existing academic literature, by examining not only the repercussions of New Labour policy introduced to address. divisions rather than inequalities, but also the implications for single-issue campaigning. More specifically, it investigates how attempts to establish the 'invisibility' of ethnic difference across service provision, impacted upon single-issue organisations acting as supplementary service providers and proxy representatives of minority interests. The research findings suggest that in Bristol neither 'race relations' nor equalities policy were embedded across Council services. Instead voluntary and community organisations (VCOs) were primarily responsible for addressing the effects of structural inequalities. However, due to the priority of establishing cohesion, organisations were struggling for survival, and subsequently by the end of New Labour's term the foundations of a 'colour-blind' approach to tackling social disadvantage had been laid.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis embodies a comprehensive analysis of the assimilation of Southern and Eastern European immigrant groups in the United States. Despite being considered racially distinct upon arrival en masse in the period 1880-1920, assimilation theorists posited that these white ethnic groups would be quickly absorbed into the prevailing white population. With the aid of Americanization campaigns targeting immigrants and their offspring, it appeared as though ethnic attachments had progressively declined with each successive generation. However, an explosion of white ethnic sentiment and activity in the 1960s and 1970s suggested otherwise, and led many to believe that white ethnic identities had not been entirely forsaken and were in fact being revived by the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the immigrants. This view is fundamentally questioned within this thesis which argues that, due to a multitude of forces and factors, white ethnicities could not have been revived in any meaningful sense. Significant attention is drawn to America’s racialised history and racebased social framework within which white ethnics categorically benefited from being classified as ‘white’. Also examined are factors such as generational distance from the point of immigration, language loss, upward mobility, and intermarriage, which together facilitated the comprehensive assimilation of white ethnic groups into the majority white population in the decades leading up to the alleged “ethnic revival.” The upsurge in white ethnic sentiment in the 1960s and 1970s is therefore argued to have transpired due to the chance convergence of a number of different factors, and given the continued classification of Americans as belonging to one of five racial groups, this thesis concludes that white ethnicities stand little chance of surviving in the long-run within a society in which race continues to hold significant sway.

Full textAbstract:
The current thesis extends research in the area of multiple social identities and identity conflict by focusing on both intergroup and intraindividual process underlying structures of identities, namely, religious, ethnic, and societal (national)
identifications. In addition, it examined the influence of political trust, and perceived discrimination the relationship between ethnic and societal identification for disadvantaged ethnic groups in Turkey. Two studies were conducted to evaluate the process of identity organization both inter group and in group. While, the first study addresses intergroup differentiations of these identities, second study focused on intraindividual process of these identities'structure. Supporting hypothesis stemming from Social Identity Theory and Optimal Distinctiveness Theory, political trust and perceived discrimination have roles of mediation in the relationship ethnic and societal identification, by contrast with secular and religious identities in the relationship. Results were discussed for their implications to politic context of the Turkey.

Full textAbstract:
Settler colonisation produced particular colonial subjects: indigene and settler. The specificity of the relationship between these subjects lies in the act of settlement; an act of colonial violence by which the settler physically and symbolically displaces the indigene, but never totally. While indigenes may be physically displaced from their territories, they continue to occupy a marginal location within the settler nation-state. Symbolically, as settlers set out to distinguish themselves from the metropolitan 'motherlands', indigenous cultures become a rich, 'native' source of cultural authenticity to ground settler nationalisms. The result is a complex of conflictual and ambivalent relations between settler and indigene.This thesis investigates the ongoing impact of this colonial relation on the contemporary identities and relations of Maori (indigene) and Pakeha (settlers) in Aotearoa New Zealand. It centres on the operation of discursive strategies used by both Maori and Pakeha in constructing their identities and the relationship between them. I analyse 'found' texts - non-fiction books, media and academic texts - to identify discourse 'at work', as New Zealanders make and reflect on their identity claims. This investigation has two aims. Firstly, I map the terrain of discursive strategies that bear the traces of colonial domination and resistance. Secondly, I seek to explore the possibilities for replacing colonial relations with non-dominating forms of relationship between Maori and Pakeha.The thesis is in two parts. Part I focuses on theories of identity, centring on essentialism and hybridity. I argue that both modes of theorising bear the traces of colonial relations and neither offers the means to 'escape' colonial relations. Part II focuses on theories of intersubjectivity, bringing relationality to the fore. I argue that epistemological relations (including identity relations) always involve a degree of violence and exclusion and that, consequently, these necessary relations must be held in tension with an awareness of the ethical dimension of intersubjective engagement. Utilising the ethics of Emmanuel Lévinas, I argue that a combination of an ethical orientation towards the other and a 'disappointed' orientation towards politics and epistemology, offers the means to developing non-dominating relations with the cultural other.

Full textAbstract:
Women’s movements and feminisms in Brazil have taken various forms throughout the years, contributing significantly to socio-political actions that favor gender justice. However, Brazilian feminisms remain on the margins of American academic discourse. In the United States, conceptualizations of feminism are often complicated by epistemological practices that treat certain political actions as feminist while dismissing others. The invisibility of Brazilian feminisms within feminist scholarship in the United States, therefore, justifies the need for further research on the topic. My research focuses on feminist articles published by Revista Estudos Feministas, one of the oldest and most well known feminist journals in Brazil. Using postcolonial, postmodern, and critical race feminist theories as a framework of analysis, my thesis investigates the theories and works utilized by feminists in Brazil. I argue that Brazilian feminisms both challenge and emulate the social, economic, and geopolitical orders that divide the world into Global North and South.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis focuses on the dynamic interplay between race and social ties. Even though in sociological studies, race is usually treated as a cause of social segregation, we argue that this is a two-way process. Our approach distinguishes between racial self-identifications and racial perceptions. In the first part of the thesis, we focus on the joint effects of these aspects on the prevalence and emergence of social ties in secondary school communities. The second part investigates social effects on racial perceptions. For the analyses, we take a social networks approach, estimating exponential random graph and stochastic actor-oriented models. First, we take a look at the state of racial segregation in friendships and negative ties within communities, and we investigate the dynamic processes that have led to the described state. We also take endogenous network mechanisms into account. We provide evidence that given an initial state of segregation, reciprocity and clustering can maintain the relative infrequency of cross-race friendships in the group, even without (additional) same-race preference. Further, we find that negative ties describe interracial segregation better than friendships: majority students tend to dislike their minority peers, but no such tendencies were found for friendships. Second, we find that minority students tend to overperceive their friends' similarity to themselves in terms of race. Moreover, there is evidence for social influence: classmates tend to accept each other's, especially their friends', opinions about their peer's race. Altogether, both empirical parts of the thesis suggest a hierarchical relationship between the majority and the minority groups: besides majority students' tendency to exclude their minority peers, those who try befriending majorities - but get rejected by them - are more likely to be perceived as minorities. There are also indications of some minority students showing outgroup preference, while others seem to compete against the majority group. This can contribute to the observed emergence of enmity between minority students.

I investigate the influence of race upon high school student's approaches to education, sports participation, and high school test scores. The theoretical perspective employed suggest that the effect of race upon these items will vary across schools. To explain this school level variation, I employ two theories of race relations: competition theory and the cultural division of labor perspective. Using the National Longitudinal and Educational Study of 1988 (NELS: 88) and multilevel model statistical procedures, support for both theories is found. I conclude that race relations in schools impact student's cultural activities and test scores.

CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel SuperiorThe study investigates ethnic-racial relations in the teaching of African culture and african-Brazilian from the perspective of childhood cultures in the context of early childhood education. It takes into account on the one hand, the historical moment of tackling racism in Brazil, translated into affirmative action policies, most notably education Law 10,639, and on the other hand the methodological discussion on research with children emphasizing the seizure child view. As a general objective aims to understand how children mean the knowledge on African history and culture and african-Brazilian school. Specifically, it aim to discuss the role of the early childhood school as a mediator of knowledge on African and african-Brazilian culture; to understand the movement of meanings attributed by children to ethnic and racial relations in schools rites and to thematize the experience of racial relations in the school context from the perspective of childhood cultures The theoretical perspectives adopted are the Cultural Studies, Postcolonial Studies and South Epistemologies Studies and the Sociology of Childhood and the Historical-Cultural Psychology. It's ethnographic case study carried out in a private school in kindergarten and elementary school in Fortaleza-CE. The corpus consisted of field diaries and video recordings of the activities performed by children as well as transcribed interviews (families and school staff). With regard to children, peerâs culture category allowed the understanding of the training criteria, maintenance and dynamics of their groups: previous cohabitation, gender and presence of disability. The ethnic and racial identity was taken by children as a control strategy in the peer group, which was neutralized by the school, and as identification of self and other. The significance of African history and culture and african-Brazilian is marked by dialogued heteroglossia and selective invisibility, organizing itself as a performative and paradoxical way. It is concluded that the placements of children ranged from positive identification with the indigenous and European culture at the expense of black/African culture, reproducing interpretively the paradoxes perceived in how African culture is transmitted in school and in Brazilian society. Finally, the thesis is that the meanings expressed by the children are organized around paradoxes that brings out the tensions, dilemmas and conflicts within an anti-racist education in Brazilian society.
O estudo investiga as relaÃÃes Ãtnico-raciais na transmissÃo da histÃria e cultura africana e afro-brasileira na perspectiva das culturas da infÃncia no contexto da educaÃÃo infantil. Tem em conta, de um lado, o momento histÃrico de combate ao racismo no Brasil, traduzido em polÃticas de aÃÃo afirmativa, de maior destaque para a educaÃÃo a Lei 10.639, e de outro lado, o debate metodolÃgico sobre as pesquisas com crianÃas enfatizando a apreensÃo do ponto de vista infantil. Como objetivo geral visa-se compreender, como as crianÃas significam os saberes sobre a histÃria e cultura africana e afro-brasileira na escola. Especificamente, discutir o papel da escola de educaÃÃo infantil como mediadora dos saberes sobre a cultura africana e afro-brasileira; compreender a circulaÃÃo dos sentidos atribuÃdos pelas crianÃas Ãs relaÃÃes Ãtnico-raciais nos ritos escolares e entÃo problematizar a vivÃncia das relaÃÃes Ãtnico-raciais no contexto escolar, na perspectiva das culturas da infÃncia. As perspectivas teÃricas adotadas sÃo os Estudos Culturais, os Estudos PÃs-coloniais e as Epistemologias do Sul, bem como a Sociologia da InfÃncia e a Psicologia HistÃrico-Cultural. Trata-se de estudo de caso de cunho etnogrÃfico realizado em uma escola particular de educaÃÃo infantil e ensino fundamental da cidade de Fortaleza-CE. O corpus foi constituÃdo dos diÃrios de campo e videogravaÃÃes das atividades lÃdicas e pedagÃgicas realizadas pelas crianÃas, bem como de entrevistas transcritas (famÃlias e funcionÃrios da escola). A significaÃÃo das crianÃas a respeito da histÃria e cultura africana e afro-brasileira à marcada pela Heteroglossia Dialogizada e pela Invisibilidade Seletiva, organizando-se como de modo performativo e paradoxal. A categoria cultura de pares compreende os critÃrios de formaÃÃo, manutenÃÃo e dinamicidade dos grupos de crianÃas: convivÃncia anterior, gÃnero e presenÃa de deficiÃncia. A identificaÃÃo entorracial foi tomada pelas crianÃas como identificaÃÃo de si e do outro, e quando utilizada como estratÃgia de controle no grupo de pares, foi neutralizada pela escola. Conclui-se que os posicionamentos das crianÃas variaram entre a identificaÃÃo positiva com a cultura indÃgena e europÃia em detrimento da cultura negra/africana, reproduzindo interpretativamente os paradoxos percebidos no modo como a cultura africana à transmitida na escola e na sociedade brasileira. Por fim, a tese à de que os sentidos expressos pelas crianÃas se organizam em torno de paradoxos que permitem problematizar as tensÃes, impasses e conflitos no Ãmbito de uma educaÃÃo antirracista na sociedade brasileira.

This research examines constructs and discourses of racial and ethnic differences within York County, Pennsylvania. Located in south central Pennsylvania along the Maryland border, the York region has long held a reputation as a hotbed for white supremacy and racial prejudice. The Ku Klux Klan has been active in York County since the 1920s, and in recent years the Klan has resurfaced in the local area amidst an increase in the Latino population. The growth of the Latino population within York County has shifted the nature of racial and ethnic relations, as historically relations between whites and blacks comprised the primary axis of tension and conflict in the local area. Although the Latino population of York County consists of Puerto Ricans, Mexicans, Dominicans, Cubans, and Central and South Americans, popular external local and media-driven discourses often conflate Latinos with Mexican-ness and racialize Latinos in highly negative terms as illegal aliens, criminals, and welfare recipients who threaten American national identity. These external discourses of latinidad contrast sharply with the manner in which local Latino and Latina residents construct their own ethnic identities. During Barack Obama's 2008 Presidential campaign, the black-white racial dichotomy reemerged in local racialized discourses. As such, the research also examines constructs and discourses of whiteness and blackness within the York area. York County features several anti-racist human relations activists and organizations. This research contains ethnographic interviews and analysis of local anti-racist activists and their activities designed to foster greater tolerance and to combat racial and ethnic prejudice within the local area. Anti-racist activists have had different life experiences that have raised their awareness to racism and have led them to become active in their cause. Public anti-racist activities take a variety of forms and consist of various programming strategies, which appears to impact their effectiveness in generating the size of turnout and level of interest among the general public.

Full textAbstract:
Historically, black women's employment levels have exceeded those for white women. However, looking only at young cohorts of women, the employment levels of black and white women were equal by 1969, and by 1991 white women's employment greatly exceeded black women's employment. If this continues to be true for successive new cohorts, it suggests that, overall, white women will soon be working at significantly higher rates than black women for the first time in history. Identifying the determinants of women's employment today becomes an important issue not only for explaining the factors that affect labor market outcomes but also for explaining the prospects for black and white women in the labor market. Utilizing the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, I use event history methods to analyze the determinants of black and white women's employment in the contemporary U.S., and explain any race gaps in employment that emerge. My findings suggest that a race gap in the hazard of part-time employment exists among women in which the rate of part-time employment is lower for black than white women. This gap is explained by race differences in human capital and past welfare receipt. A race gap in the hazard of full-time employment exists among unmarried women in which the rate of full-time employment is lower for black than white women. This gap is explained by race differences in age, human capital, and past welfare receipt. I find that opportunities and constraints provided by the local economic environment, human capital, family structure, and past welfare receipt are an important influence on black and white women's employment.

The present study used a mixed-experimental analog design to examine 858 undergraduate students' reactions to a scenario depicting a store clerk being mildly rude to a customer. The ethnicity of the clerk and customer were manipulated. Results indicated that participants' beliefs regarding the general prevalence of racism and the degree to which they identify with their respective ethnic group significantly predicted the extent to which they perceived the clerk's behavior as being racially motivated. It also was found that participants' beliefs regarding the general prevalence of racism, levels of cynicism, and attributional style significantly predicted the extent to which they perceived the clerk's behavior as unjust. Moreover, participants' beliefs regarding the general prevalence of racism, levels of cynicism, self-esteem, and symptoms of depression significantly predicted the extent to which they considered the clerk's behavior as a common occurrence. Finally, participants judged the clerk's behavior to be significantly more racially motivated when the clerk was White and the customer was Hispanic or African American than when the clerk was Hispanic or African American and the customer was White. This last finding was robust for White, Latino and African American participants. Implications of the findings are discussed.M.S.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the complexities of constructing a German identity as a black German. The recent emergence of Germany's black minority group was generally perceived as an opportunity to reevaluate Germanness as it has been understood in the past. However, this thesis shows that a reevaluation of Germanness lacks full support because traditional German ideals of racial superiority continue to exist in the consciousness of all Germans - black and white. This suggests that theories of racial superiority continue to determine belonging and identity construction in Germany. Above all, the presence of Western racial ideology in black German identity construction signifies a development of self-rejection and the disunity of the black German population. This thesis explores these effects through black German literature, survey interviews and German media.

Full textAbstract:
Indigenous people in Mexico have historically been subjected to subordinate positions in relation to dominant non-indigenous groups. Indigenous people continue to face political exclusion, social discrimination and economic disadvantages compared to the non-indigenous population. Most studies use a universalising approach to conceptualise wellbeing in order to account for these differences among groups, neglecting to consider local indigenous understandings of wellbeing, and how such understandings may be obscured by inter-ethnic power relations at the local level. This research contributes to the larger debate of how asymmetries among social groups are formed, how they are contested through the articulation of discourses, and the implications of mobilising discourses as a political tool at the local level. The dissertation focuses on the case of the Raramuri indigenous people of Northern Mexico, and uses detailed ethnographic evidence to explore how discourses of wellbeing are constructed by the Raramuri people in their daily interactions with the non-indigenous population and how power asymmetries between these groups form and persist. It does so by pursuing three main objectives. The first is to document local understandings of wellbeing which emerge for the Raramuri people in contexts of ethno-political oppression. The second is to uncover underlying power relations that hinder wellbeing and reproduce ethnically differentiated vulnerabilities. Examples of this are land conflicts and institutional arrangements behind land management schemes. The third objective is to analyse resulting mechanisms of resistance employed by the Raramuri indigenous people in order to seek control of practices and customs that promotes ethnic distinction. These three pillars provide a novel framework to explore the formation and perpetuation of asymmetrical social, economic and political relations at the local level. The study finds that the Raramuri people, like other minority groups living in the margins of nation states and global markets, are constrained to act strategically to face political, economic and social exclusion, while at the same time, taking the opportunity of this position to articulate culturally embedded discourses and mechanisms to reinforce their identity and self-definition. It is in the marginal context that the Raramuri discourse of living well develops and makes sense; fluctuating between the tension of having the right to live differently and the need to be part of the larger society. As a result, this discourse, by stressing ethnic membership and differentiation from other groups, appeals to culturally deep-seated homogenising and idealised elements of ethnicity. Consequently, Raramuri people articulate a recurrent strategy of resistance that allows them to consolidate their cultural identity and the internal cohesion of the group. However, this strategy limits political influence and their capacity to challenge the asymmetric power relations they face from dominant, non-indigenous spheres.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis advisor: Peter H. WeilerIn 1997, New Labor embraced an ideal of multiculturalism in an attempt to foster a particular brand of open communication and respectful cooperation among different individuals and cultural groups. This MA thesis investigates the background to one aspect of this multiculturalism, New Labor's education policies. The thesis shows how New Labor's current multicultural ideal originated in the 1960s in Labor's attempts to combat racial discrimination. As its attempts proved inadequate, Labor expanded its understanding of what was necessary to create a tolerant society, including educational policies that fostered tolerance, respect for different cultural groups, and personal responsibility. During eighteen years spent in opposition to a Conservative majority government, Labor refined its ideal of multiculturalism in debates, forging a path from the idealistic and radical reforms of the 1960s and 1970s toward New Labor's middle way. This thesis describes how New Labor utilized a variety of tools to achieve the goal of a tolerant, cooperative, multicultural society, including repurposing Conservatives' policies. This thesis defends multiculturalism as an appropriate response to a changing political environment, one that attempted to deal with the exigent circumstances presented by racial discrimination, class and cultural based underachievement, and underlying cultural tensions

Full textAbstract:
On November 5, 1996, California became the first state in the US to legalize Marijuana for medical purposes through the enactment of the Compassionate Use Act of 1996. Later Marijuana for recreational use was also enacted through the Adult Use of Marijuana Act of 2016. Presently, 29 States in the U.S including the District of Columbia have legalized the use of marijuana for either medicinal or recreational purposes (Election 2016–Marijuana Ballot results). With the legalization of Marijuana, there have been tremendous higher rates of distribution, sales, and consumption of the drug in California. The use of Marijuana has not only been socially accepted but has also laid a foundation for more research about the social economic and health effects to the communities. Therefore this paper seeks to assess the detrimental and beneficial effects of marijuana use among the racial/ ethnically diverse population of northern California.

Full textAbstract:
To understand attitudes about voting in Kenya, this study examines Kenyan voters’ feelings of freedom to vote according to their own will and without pressure. More specifically it seeks to determine the extent to which these feelings are affected by 1) perception of corruption, 2) levels of trust in the government, 3) fear of political violence and intimidation, and 4) ethnic identity. Rational choice theory and an insideroutsider perspective are applied to examine the issue from a theoretical framework. Previous research conducted in relation to voting behavior and perception of corruption, trust in government, and ethnicity, among other things, are considered. This study uses secondary data collected by the Afrobarometer in 2008, and bivaraite and multivariatea nalysis are employed.
Logistic regression models are used to examine the extent to which certain variables explain feelings of freedom to vote according to personal preference. The results from the logistic regression analyses show that both trust in government and fear of being subject to political violence and intimidation affect Kenyan voters’ feelings of freedom to vote according to their personal preference. These results support two hypotheses. First, Kenyan voters will feel freer to vote according to their own preference as their levels of trust in the government increase. Second, Kenyan voters’ feelings of freedom to vote will be negatively associated with fear of being subject to political violence and intimidation.

Resumo: A legislação educacional, através da Lei 10.639/03 e de outros aparatos, reconhece a necessidade de estruturar a Educação das relações étnico-raciais. Contudo, ainda são poucas e pontuais as experiências no cotidiano escolar que possibilitam a concretização da lei. Assim sendo, essa pesquisa objetiva compreender, sob a perspectiva da Pedagogia Culturalmente Relevante, como a história de vida revela elementos do conceito de si e como este se imbrica na tessitura de experiências profissionais de professore(a)s considerados pela comunidade (acadêmica e militante) como exitosos na implementação da Educação das relações étnico-raciais. A escolha do(a)s professore(a)s colaboradore(a)s foi feita por indicação da comunidade e a coleta de dados a partir da observação de campo, entrevista livre e roda de conversa. Para interpretação, recorri aos dois processos definidos na abordagem processual da Teoria das Representações Sociais: ancoragem e objetivação, que embasaram as inferências. Na ancoragem busquei compreender como são constituídas as redes de significações em torno da Educação étnico-racial, a partir de elementos da identidade pessoal e profissional, que levaram à identificação do conceito de si. Pela objetivação busquei verificar como ocorre a transformação da ideia de educação étnicoracial em esquemas ou imagens concretas. Isso foi possível perceber através das práticas exitosas - abordando a materialização de ações de sucesso sobre essa concepção educativa, tanto nos momentos de observação quanto na roda de conversa. Assim sendo, embora reconhecendo a importância da legislação a respeito das relações raciais, é possível inferir que a materialização da Educação das relações étnico-raciais se viabiliza pelo compromisso do(a) professor(a), mais que pela normatização jurídica.
Abstract: The law recognizes education through the Law 10.639/03 and other devices, the need to structure the education of racial ethnic relations. However, there are very few and specific experiences in school life for implementation of that law. Therefore, based on the perspective of culturally relevant pedagogy, this study aims to understand how the life story reveals elements of the concept of self, and how this concept is embedded in the weaving of professional experiences of teachers / considered by the community (academic and activist) as successful in implementing the Education of Racial Ethnic relations. Methodologically, the research used the choice of / the teachers / employees to / as a nominee of the community, collecting data through field observation, interviews and free conversation wheel. For interpretation, I turned to two processes defined in the procedural approach of the Theory of Social Representations - anchoring and objectification, which have shaped the inferences. Anchoring sought to understand how the networks are made up of meanings around the racial ethnic education, from elements of personal identity by means of approaches to life and their life experiences, career choice and even teacher training. Such cuts have led to the identification of the concept itself. I looked to see how the objectification occurs the transformation of the idea of racial ethnic education schemes or concrete images. It was possible to see through the successful practice - addressing the realization of successful actions on the racial ethnic education, both in moments of observation and conversation on the wheel. I conclude that the concept itself is important to trigger positive positioning in relation to black identity and its process of integration into the world and the dynamics of Brazilian society, which is reflected in teacher performance. Thus, while recognizing the importance of legislation regarding race relations, we can infer that the materialization of Education racial ethnic relations is made possible by the commitment (a) professor (a), rather than by legal norms.

Full textAbstract:
Although the reality of Swedish race relations is very complex, Sweden presents itself to the world as a colorblind utopia where race does not exist. Since the mid-1900s, Sweden has embraced an anti-racist rhetoric that developed into post-racism and colorblindness, where race is not seen, and racial discrimination is not acknowledged as a societal problem. This study seeks to problematize the complexities of Swedish post-racism and colorblindness. By drawing on previous research, it is clear that the Swedish hegemony has not been thoroughly deconstructed, which necessitates further studies in this area. By drawing on the WPR approach to poststructural policy analysis, this study looks at how Swedish law is influenced by the narratives of colorblindness and details the shortcomings of excluding the term ‘race’ from legislation. Furthermore, this study employs expert interviews to access the knowledge of experts on how colorblindness and post-racism came to be. It is concluded in this thesis that the post-racist and colorblind perception of Sweden influences Swedish law in negative ways and that the removal of the term race is a denial of the existence of a racial hierarchy in Sweden.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis analyses materials – a set of guidelines and a presentation – provided for officials who assess claims related to sexual orientation and gender identity within the Australian government’s Department for Immigration and Border Protection. The analysis is conducted using critical discourse analysis to see if the lexicon shows a white heterosexual bias, and if it does, how the bias is manifested within the guidelines, especially within the context of the gender binary. The theoretical framework primarily uses Critical Race theory, but also combines elements of Said’s Orientalism, and absence and presence theory. The results show that the guidelines do have a white heterosexual bias, which manifests itself in the form of, Western superiority, stereotypes about LGBT+ people, as well as an undertheorized portrayal of the gender binary. The findings contribute to research within the queer asylum field, especially with regards to research on migration from a non-gender-binary perspective.

Full textAbstract:
Leaning on the framework of Critical Race and Whiteness Theory, this qualitative study draws on semi-structured interviews with second-generation Mexican Americans and White Americans to offer a yet untaken perspective on the fragmented nature of identity. It also sheds light on the ways racism and interracial relationships shape individuals’ notions of race and privilege. The study’s findings indicate that Mexicans perceive themselves as a distinct racial group situated in a “third space,” marked by a dialectic between externally ascribed and internally attributed racial identity categories. White individuals use color and power-evasion strategies to avoid cognizance of their own racial identities. However, their interracial relationships provide a meaningful premise altering the ways they perceive notions of race and White privilege. Shifts in White individuals’ perspectives occur in relation to heightened race consciousness, acknowledging White privilege, and racial inequality and includes behavioral changes resulting from their interactions with their significant others.

Thesis (MA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2011.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Friendships in general are a very powerful form of interpersonal contact, and cross-group friendships in particular have been shown to be particularly effective in promoting positive outgroup attitudes (Pettigrew & Tropp, 2006). Very few studies have compared same-group and cross-group friendships along their underlying processes. The present study aimed to explore, firstly, the differences and similarities between same-group and cross-group friendships along various interpersonal variables, including friendship length, friendship type, friendship contact, positive and negative reciprocal self-disclosure, friendship functions, and friendship affection. Secondly, the present study explored, and compared, the structural relationships between these interpersonal variables across the two friendship conditions. Thirdly, the present study explored how the generalization of attitudes towards the specific cross-group friendship influence attitudes to the outgroup as a whole. Finally, the present study explored the extent to which contact with a specific cross-group friend exposed the ingroup participants to a broader social network of outgroup members. Cross-sectional survey data was collected amongst 468 White South African first year students studying at Stellenbosch University using electronic surveys. The final sample comprised of 235 of the respondents in the same-group friendship condition (who completed questions relating to their closest same-gender, White South African friend) and 233 respondents in the cross-group friendship condition (who completed questions relating to their closest same-gender, Coloured South African friend). Results indicated that same-group friendships were qualitatively more intimate than cross-group friendships, characterized by significantly greater scores on all the interpersonal variables. Path analyses revealed a number of differences in the structural relationships between the interpersonal variables across the two friendship conditions, as well as a number of important mediation effects for both same- and cross-group friendships. Furthermore, cross-group friendship affection was significantly associated with more positive attitudes towards the outgroup in general, even when controlling for prior contact with the outgroup in general. Finally, contact with the cross-group friend was associated with greater contact with the cross-group friend‟s same-group friends, which was in turn associated with more outgroup friendships. Collectively, these results not only shed light on the mean-level and structural similarities and differences amongst interpersonal-level friendship variables associated with same- and cross-group friendships, but they also make a valuable contribution to the contact literature, providing a number of insights for the improvement of structured intergroup contact interventions that are aimed at facilitating the development of cross-group friendships and the improvement of outgroup attitudes.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Vriendskappe oor die algemeen is 'n baie kragtige vorm van interpersoonlike kontak, en kruis-groep vriendskappe in die besonder is besonder effektief om positiewe buitegroep (outgroup) houdings te bevorder (Pettigrew & Tropp, 2006). Baie min studies het selfde-groep vriendskappe en kruis-groep vriendskappe met betrekking tot hul onderliggende prosesse vergelyk. Die huidige studie het beoog om eerstens, die verskille en ooreenkomste tussen selfde-groep en kruis-groep vriendskappe met betrekking tot verskeie interpersoonlike veranderlikes te bestudeer. Hierdie veranderlikes sluit in die lengte van die vriendskap, vriendskaps tipe, vriendskaps kontak, positiewe en negatiewe wedersydse self-bekendmaking, vriendskaps funksies en vriendskaps gehegtheid. Die studie het tweedens die strukturele verhoudings tussen hierdie interpersoonlike veranderlikes vir elke vriendskapskondisie bestudeer en vergelyk. Die studie het derdens bestudeer tot watter mate positiewe houdings teenoor die spesifieke kruis-groep vriend veralgemeen tot positiewe houdings teenoor die buitegroep as 'n geheel. Die studie het, ten slotte, bestudeer tot watter mate kontak met die spesifieke kruis-groep vriend die binne-groep (ingroup) deelnemers blootstel tot 'n breeër netwerk van buitegroep lede. Deursnee opname data is ingesamel met behulp van elektoniese vraelyste onder 468 Blanke Suid-Afrikaanse eerstejaar studente wat studeer aan die Universiteit van Stellenbosch. Die finale steekproef het bestaan uit 235 deelnemers in die selfde-groep vriendskap kondisie (wat vrae beantwoord het met betrekking tot hul naaste, selfde-geslag, selfde-groep vriend) en 233 deelnemers in die kruis-groep vriendskaps kondisie (wat vrae beantwoord het met betrekking tot hul naaste, selfde-geslag, Kleurling Suid-Afrikaanse vriend). Die resultate het aangedui dat selfde groep vriendskappe kwalitatief meer intiem is as kruis-groep vriendskappe, en word gekenmerk deur beduidend hoër tellings op al die interpersoonlike veranderlikes. Pad-ontledings analises het aangedui dat daar 'n paar verskille in die strukturele verhoudinge tussen die twee vriendskapskondisies is, sowel as 'n aantal belangrike bemiddeling (mediation) effekte vir beide selfde-groep vriendskappe en kruis-groep vriendskappe. Die resultate het verder aangedui dat kruis-groep vriendskaps gehegtheid beduidend geassosïeer is met meer positiewe houdings teenoor die buitegroep in die algemeen, selfs wanneer die invloed van vroeëre kontak met die buitegroep gekontroleer word. Ten slotte, kontak met die kruis-groep vriend is geassosïeer met meer kontak met die kruis-groep vriend se vriende (wat van dieselfde groep is), wat op die beurt geassosïeer is met meer buitegroep vriendskappe. Gesamentlik werp hierdie resultate nie net lig op die gemiddelde-vlak en strukturele ooreenkomste en verskille tussen selfde-groep vriendskappe en kruis-groep vriendskappe met betrekking tot die interpersoonlike veranderlikes nie, maar dit maak ook 'n waardevolle bydrae tot die kontak literatuur. Dit voorsien 'n aantal bydraes vir die verbetering van gestruktureerde intergroep kontak ingrypings wat daarop gemik is om die ontwikkeling van kruis-groep vriendskappe en die verbetering van buitegroep houdings te fasiliteer.

Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2014.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Interpersonal friendships fulfil several important functions in the lives of individuals across their lifespan, and cross-group friendships have been shown to be strongly associated with reduced outgroup prejudice (Pettigrew & Tropp, 2006). The emerging literature comparing same-group and cross-group friendships along interpersonal-level variables amongst majority-status participants in Northern Ireland, England, Serbia, and South Africa has consistently shown that same-gender, same-group friendships are rated as greater in overall quality than corresponding cross-group friendships (Swart et al., 2011). The present study aimed to replicate these findings amongst minority-status coloured South African respondents by (1) undertaking between-group comparisons of the mean-level scores reported for same-group and cross-group friendships along nine interpersonal-level variables, namely friendship length, friendship type, friendship closeness, friendship contact, friendship functions, friendship affection, interpersonal trust, positive reciprocal self-disclosure and negative reciprocal self-disclosure; (2) comparing the structural relationships between these interpersonal-level variables across the two friendship conditions; (3) exploring whether attitudes towards a specific outgroup exemplar (closest same-gender white South African friend) generalise towards more positive attitudes towards white South Africans in general; and (4) exploring the extent to which interactions with a specific cross-group friend were related to access with a wider social-network of outgroup peers and the development of further cross-group friendships. Cross-sectional, electronic survey data were collected amongst 302 coloured South African students studying at Stellenbosch University and included 157 respondents in the same-group condition and 145 respondents in the cross-group condition. Results showed that (1) same-group friendships were characterized by significantly greater intimacy and overall quality than cross-group friendships; (2) there exist several differences in the structural relationships between the interpersonal-level and group-level variables across the two friendship conditions; (3) that positive attitudes towards a specific outgroup exemplar generalised to more positive attitudes towards white South Africans in general; and (4) that a single cross-group friend provides valuable access to a broader network of outgroup peers with whom to form further cross-group friendships. These findings not only replicate the results found in the emerging literature (Goosen, 2011; Swart et al., 2011), they further its contributions by providing a comparison with minority-status groups
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Interpersoonlike vriendskappe vervul verskeie belangrike funksies in die lewens van individue in hul leeftyd. Kruis-groep vriendskappe dui aan dat dit in groot mate verbind word met verminderde buitgegroup veroordeeltheid (Pettigrew & Tropp, 2006). Die opkomende literatuur wat selfde-groep en kruis-groep vriendskappe vergelyk langs interpersoonlike-vlak veranderlikes onder meerderheid-status deelnemers in Noord-Ierland, Engeland, Serwië en Suid-Afrika en het gewys dat selfde-geslag, selfde-groep vriendskappe word gegradeer as groter in kwaliteit as ooreenstemmende kruis-groep vriendskappe (Swart et al., 2011). Die huidige, tussen-groep studie het „n poging aangewend om hirdie bevindinge te repliseer deur: (1) die gemiddelde-vlak punte vir selfde-groep en kruis-groep vriendskappe met nege interpersoonlike veranderlikes te vergelyk, naamlik die lengte van die vriendskap, vriendskap tipe, vriendskap nabyheid, vriendskaps kontak, vriendskap funksies, vriendskaps gehegtheid, interpersoonlike vertroue en positiewe en negatiewe wedersydse self-bekendmaking; (2) die strukturele verhoudings tussen hierdie interpersoonlike-vlak veranderlikes tussen die twee vreinskap-kondisies te vergelyk; (3) om te omdersoek of houdings teenoor „n spesifieke buitegroep model (naaste, selfde-geslag blanke Suid-Afrikaanse vriend) veralgemeen tot positiewe houdings teenoor blanke Suid-Afrikaners in die algemeen; en (4) te ondersoek tot watter mate wissel werking met „n spesifieke kruis-groep vriend aan verwant is met toegang na „n breër netwerk van buitegroep lede om verder kruis-groep vriendskappe te ontwikkel. Deursnee, elektroniese vraelyste data was ingesamel onder 302 kleurling Suid-Afrikaanse studente wat aan die Universiteit van Stellenbosh studeer en 157 proefpersone in die selfde-groep vriendskapskondisie as ook 145 proefpersone in die kruis-groep vriendskapskondisie. Die resultate het aangedui dat (1) selfde-groep vriendskappe word gekenmerk deur noemenswaardige hoër vlakke van die interpersoonlike veranderlikes as kruis-groep vriendskappe; (2) daar bestaan verskeie verskille in die strukturele verhoudings tussen die interpersoonlike-vlak en groep-vlak veranderlikes tussen die twee vriendskapkondisies; (3) dat positiewe houdings teenoor „n spesifieke buitegroep model word veralgemeen tot meer positiewe houdings teenoor blanke Suid-Afrikaners in die algemeen; en (4) dat „n enkele kruis-groep vriend waardevol toegang tot „n breër netwerk van buitegroepe lede verskaf en met wie verder kruis-groep vriendskappe geworm word.

Full textAbstract:
Interest in a multiracial society has increased in recent years and including on racism and prejudice and in the propensity to stereotype out-groups. Theories on racism help explain the dominant group's prejudice toward subordinate groups. Yet they only explain why dominant group members stereotype subordinates or if the dominant group's propensity to stereotype is different from that of subordinate groups. Recent assimilation theories suggest that some minorities are assimilating with Whites but Blacks are not undergoing assimilation. Classic assimilation theory suggests that when a subordinate group assimilates with the dominant group then they will also take on the dominant group's values and beliefs, including their prejudices and propensities to stereotype. The use of racial stereotypes in support of the assimilation of a minority group has not been tested. Results from the LSAF national survey provide support for Asians to be assimilating with Whites. However, Hispanics do not appear to be taking on Whites' propensity to stereotype, contradicting the prediction that Hispanics are assimilating with Whites.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse aborde, en trois chapitres, la notion d'expérience présente dans les publications sur la stratégie de Gestion Autonome de la Médication (GAM) au Brésil depuis son arrivée dans le pays - en 2009 - jusqu'en 2018. Le travail constitue une analyse documentaire de données secondaires, où les presque trente articles publiés au cours de la période constituaient le matériel d’analyse prioritaire. Walter Benjamin, Giorgio Agamben et Jorge Larrosa sont les interlocuteurs de ces analyses. Par la suite, nous avons cherché la compagnie des auteurs de la pensée décoloniale, afin de nous rapprocher des particularités de la population brésilienne en ce qui concerne les problèmes de subalternité, tels que Achille Mbembe, Gayatri Spivak, Conceição Evaristo, entre autres. Dans le premier chapitre, nous présentons les différents usages que la notion d'expérience acquiert dans les textes, en soulignant la différence entre deux champs sémantiques: le premier, où il s'agit de ce que le sujet vit ou expérimente; et le second, qui nous semble plus fort et plus pertinent dans le domaine de la santé mentale, où apparaît l’idée de ce qui reste quand on a traversé un danger. Notre exploration de ces publications nous a permis de dire que la GAM a été une expérience pour ses participants, qu’ils soient usagers, professionnels ou chercheurs. Dans le deuxième chapitre, nous abordons les différentes manières dont la stratégie GAM accède à l'expérience des sujets abordés à l’occasion de cette rencontre entre usagers, membres de la famille, professionnels et chercheurs dans le domaine de la santé mentale, en montrant les effets de collectivisation produits dans ce domaine. Dans le troisième chapitre, nous soulignons l'invisibilité et le silence de l'approche des questions ethniques et raciales dans la stratégie GAM, tout en localisant les situations de résistance et de réussite des usagers pour faire face à l'oppression, afin de pouvoir reconnaître dans la GAM un potentiel antiracisme pouvant se développer et se renforcerThis thesis discusses, in three chapters, the notion of experience presented in the publications on the strategy of Autonomous Medication Management in Brazil since its arrival in the country - in 2009 - until 2018. The work constitutes a documentary analysis of secondary data, in which the almost thirty articles published in the period were a priority analysis material. Interlocutors of these analyzes are Walter Benjamin, Giorgio Agamben and Jorge Larrosa, at first. Subsequently, we sought the company of authors of the decoloniality, in order to get closer to the particularities that concern the Brazilian population regarding the issues of subalternities, such as Achille Mbembe, Gayatri Spivak, Conceição Evaristo, among others. In the first chapter we present the different uses that the notion of experience gains in the texts, emphasizing the difference between two semantic fields: the first, where it will mean what the subject lives or experiences; and the second, which we understand to be stronger and more relevant to the field of mental health, where it will mean what remains of the crossing of a danger. Our dive into these publications allowed us to state that GAM has been an experience for its participants, be they users, workers, researchers. In the second chapter, we approach the different ways in which the GAM strategy accesses the experience of the subjects in this meeting between users, family members, workers and researchers in the field of mental health, showing the collectivization effects produced there. In the third chapter we point to the invisibility and silencing of the approach to ethnic-racial issues in the GAM strategy, while locating situations that demonstrate resistance and user exits to cope with oppression, so that we can recognize in GAM a potential anti-racist and may develop and strengthen

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis, through critically analysing images and text in a selection of Swedish children's picture books, the aim is to investigate how white and non-white bodies are represented, and how racial differences between these white and non-white bodies are depicted and racial meanings addressed. Theoretical concepts from within the field of Critical race- and Whiteness studies are applied, to demonstrate how hegemonic whiteness and colour-blindness as discourse is prevalent in these children´s books, which is achieved by using non-white characters as tokens. Moreover, this study of representation is an illustrative case for how race can function as social construct, and thus should have value as an analytical concept also in IMER-studies performed in the Swedish context. It can additionally lift a discussion about the importance for children at an early age, to develop awareness and understanding of how race can affect individual lives.

The present study aims to analyze how the child in the age group of two to three years in early childhood is related to ethnic-racial diversity in the spaces of early childhood education, considering childhood as a crucial stages for the acquisition of cultural values . The institution chosen for the development of the research was the Center for Early Childhood Education (CEI) in the city of São Paulo, because it is the institution where the child enters the Brazilian school system and the group selected for the observation was Mini Group I (MGI) whose children are in the appropriate age range for the research. Relying on the hypothesis that the child's perception of ethnic-racial diversity is influenced by dominant social values and patterns, we observed the ways in which children relate to each other during the activities proposed by the teachers and during free play. Another relevant factor observed during the research was the actions taken by the school in the face of racism, which can significantly modify the relationship between children. Federal and municipal legislation served as sources for understanding the problem of early childhood education in the city of São Paulo and the ethnic-racial issues present in this problem. The authors of the discussions on child development are Vigotsky, Luria and Elkonin, while the ethnic-racial question receives contributions from Munanga, Guimarães and Candau
O presente estudo tem por objetivo analisar como a criança na faixa etária de dois a três anos, na primeira infância, se relaciona com a diversidade étnico-racial nos espaços de educação infantil, considerando-se a infância como uma etapa crucial para a aquisição de valores culturais e para a educação das relações étnico-raciais. A instituição escolhida para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa foi um Centro de Educação Infantil (CEI) da cidade de São Paulo, por se tratar da instituição em que a criança ingressa no sistema escolar brasileiro; o agrupamento selecionado para a realização de observações foi o Minigrupo I (MGI) cujas crianças encontram-se na faixa etária referente à pesquisa. Apoiando-se na hipótese de que a percepção da criança a respeito da diversidade étnico-racial é influenciada por valores e padrões sociais dominantes, foram observadas as formas como se relacionam durante as atividades propostas pelas professoras e durante os momentos de brincadeiras livres. Outro fator relevante observado foram as ações realizadas pela escola no enfrentamento do racismo e se estas modificam (e como modificam) as relações entre as crianças. A legislação federal e municipal serviu como fonte para a compreensão da problemática da educação infantil na cidade de São Paulo e das questões étnico-raciais a ela relacionadas. Os autores que embasam as discussões sobre desenvolvimento infantil são Vigotsky, Lúria e Elkonin, enquanto que as questões étnico-racial e cultural estão baseadas nas contribuições de Munanga, Guimarães e Candau. Concluiu-se que é necessário aprofundar e dar novos significados às práticas integracionistas, para que as crianças incorporem as diferentes culturas, com todos os seus significados, num processo de diálogo e de entrelaçamento entre elas e nunca de assimilação – como tem sido – que torna as demais culturas invisíveis dentro da cultura hegemônica

Por que os livros de culinária quase nunca retratam a comida afro-brasileira e africana como ela merece ser tratada? Foi a partir de questionamentos como esse, feitos por mulheres negras, que se desenvolveu esta pesquisa. Nela, objetivou-se entender qual o tratamento dado à culinária afro-brasileira em publicações culinárias nacionais que circularam pelo país no século XX. Partiu-se do pressuposto de que a participação afro-brasileira na construção de discursos sobre a cultura brasileira foi negada e embranquecida, e que esse processo também ocorreu nos discursos sobre a culinária brasileira. Formulou-se, assim, a hipótese de que, ao longo do século XX, os livros de receitas editados no Brasil teriam abordado a culinária negra de acordo com o pensamento racial da época. Para averiguar tal hipótese, foram analisadas quatro obras culinárias de grande circulação no período: Cozinheiro nacional, Comer bem: Dona Benta, A cozinha brasileira e O grande livro da cozinha maravilhosa de Ofélia. A partir do entendimento de que esses livros são produtos e produtores das formas de pensar da sociedade brasileira, buscou-se analisar seu contexto de surgimento, seu projeto editorial, seu perfil culinário e a abordagem que foram dadas nessas publicações às preparações afro-brasileiras em receitas, ilustrações e nos demais paratextos. Apresentou-se, ainda, um panorama das teorias e discussões que, em cada momento, balizavam o pensamento social sobre a formação racial brasileira, problematizando qual o impacto destas nas concepções nutricionais e gastronômicas que aludiam à culinária negra. Constatou-se, desse modo, que, dadas as noções raciais vigentes e a relevância atribuída ao registro escrito na formação de um discurso sobre a culinária brasileira, os grupos afro-brasileiros não tiveram participação na formulação dessas publicações culinárias. Logo, a representação de seu universo culinário tornou-se diminuta, enviesada pela lógica racista e circunscrita a uma abordagem intencionalmente regionalizada e folclorizante. Assim, estimular outras abordagens faz-se necessário para conferir a real complexidade desses saberes e sabores.Why the Brazilian cookbooks have almost never portrayed the Afro-Brazilian and the African food in the way that it deserves to be treated? It was from questions like these made by black women this research was developed. Its aim is to understand what kind of treatment had been given to the afro-Brazilian culinary by the national cookbooks that circulated in the country during the 20th century. Starting from the assumption that the afro-Brazilian contribution in the construction of the Brazilian cultural discourse had been negated, and whitened, and that this same process had occurred to the discourse of the Brazilian culinary as well. Thus the hypothesis is formulated that throughout the 20th century, the cookbooks edited in Brazil had approached black culinary according to the racial thinking of its time. To investigate such a hypothesis, four cookbooks widely circulated at this time were investigated. Cozinheiro nacional, Comer bem: Dona Benta, A cozinha brasileira e O grande livro da cozinha maravilhosa de Ofélia. Starting from the understanding that these books are products and producers of forms of thinking in the Brazilian society, we have analyzed its emerging context, its editorial design, culinary profile and the approaches that these publications were given to the preparations of Afro-Brazilian in recipes, illustrations and other paratexts. The work presents also an overview on the theories and discussions that guided at every moment the social thinking of the Brazilian racial formation, problematizing the impact of such concepts in nutritional and gastronomic cuisine that alluded to the black culinary. It was found given to the prevailing racial notions and importance given to written record in the formation of Brazilian cuisine discourse, that those Afro-Brazilian groups had no involvement in the formulation of these culinary publications. Thus, the representation of their culinary universe became decreased, inclined to a racist logic and circumscribed to an intentionally regionalized and folklorized approach. Thereby stimulate other approaches is necessary to verify the actual complexity of these knowledge and tastes.

O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar uma parcela da produção pictórica da pintora Georgina de Albuquerque (1885-1962), cuja temática é a representação da mulher em situação de trabalho. Tendo como ponto de partida a tela No cafezal (1926), essa dissertação empreendeu uma análise da produção iconográfica da artista, a partir de uma perspectiva comparativa, que coloca as obras em diálogo com a tradição artística nacional e internacional. A dissertação visa compreender como as obras problematizam dimensões como gênero, trabalho e raça, refletindo como tais categorias se relacionam aos discursos do período de produção e circulação das obras, a saber, décadas de 1920-1940.This study aims to analyze a portion of the pictorial production of the painter Georgina de Albuquerque (1885-1962), whose subject is the representation of women in work situations. Taking as starting point the screen in coffee plantation (1926), this dissertation undertook an analysis of the iconographic production of the artist, from a comparative perspective, which places the works in dialogue with national and international artistic tradition. The dissertation aims to understand how the works problematize dimensions such as gender, race and work, reflecting how these categories relate to the speeches of the production period and circulation of works, namely, decades of 1920-1940.

Full textAbstract:
It is important to consider the effects of past conflicts on the current perceptions of the people of Cyprus and of the future generations. This thesis contends that the ongoing division of Cyprus along with the many unresolved issues regarding past conflicts have had a profound effect on how the people of Cyprus perceive new information in regard to their future. The inquiry will explore the historical background of Cyprus and the affects of nationalism. The need for enemies, large group identity, divided societies and the need for dialogue will also be examined in relation to perception and new information. In light of the interviews and the lived experiences in Cyprus questions arise in regard to how the Cypriots will move forward to a solution that is agreeable to both Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots. With each person's perception being influenced by the past conflicts, pain and suffering how will they move forward? How has protracted conflict and nationalism influenced the Turkish Cypriot and Greek Cypriot perceptions to new information including a possible solution in Cyprus?

Full textAbstract:
L'évocation de l'Île Maurice fait rêver : ses couleurs « arc-en-ciel », ses plages paradisiaques et sa population accueillante sont bien connues dans le monde. L'île a été tour à tour colonie hollandaise, colonie française et colonie britannique. Aujourd'hui, elle fait toujours partie du Commonwealth, au même titre que d'autres ex-colonies, notamment l'Inde. Après presqu'un siècle et demi de domination britannique (1810-1968), Maurice est aujourd'hui une république indépendante qui souffre des maux typiques de la décolonisation et de l'ère postcoloniale. On y observe les problèmes liés à la construction identitaire, comme dans les sociétés multiethniques, sur lesquels se greffent des dysfonctionnements liés aux inégalités entre les groupes qui composent le pays. Cette thèse se propose de dépasser l'image idyllique que nous avons de cette île, pour nous concentrer sur la vie quotidienne de ses habitants, plus spécifiquement sur les relations sociales qu'entretiennent les « Créoles » avec les autres groupes en présence. Nous tentons d'identifier et d'expliquer les raisons pour lesquelles une certaine catégorie de Créoles est particulièrement touchée par la pauvreté et les discriminations, ce qui entraîne des fléaux tels que la prostitution, la drogue, l'alcoolisme, la violence domestique, le viol, les enfants des rues et les grossesses précoces. Après avoir rappelé les différentes phases de peuplement de l'Île Maurice, nous nous penchons sur les notions, parfois controversées, de « race », couleur, mondialisation, regard et perception, pour essayer de comprendre les relations assez conflictuelles entre les différentes communautés, notamment entre les Créoles et les Hindous. Nous émettons l'hypothèse selon laquelle le passé historique lié à l'esclavage, avec la déshumanisation dont ont été victimes les ancêtres d'un certain nombre de Créoles, pèse encore aujourd'hui sur leurs descendants. À travers des études de cas, des interviews et des observations, nous analysons les limites dans les relations interethniques, intergroupes et intercommunautaires, prenant en compte les particularités de chaque groupe afin de savoir dans quelle mesure certains peuvent être qualifiés d'ethnies, de communauté ou simplement de groupe. Le résultat de nos recherches sur le terrain nous montre que différentes formes de discrimination sont exercées contre les Créoles et qu'elles sont dues essentiellement au verrouillage exercé par les Hindous, les seuls véritables détenteurs des rênes politiques locales, en plus, bien entendu des riches Blancs et des riches Chinois. Nous observons cependant que les Créoles semblent enfin commencer à accepter leur identité, dans un monde postcolonial où ils s'autonomisent et se distancient d'un passé esclavagisteThe image conveyed by Mauritius is full of fantasy with pretty rainbow colours everywhere, beaches of white sand and friendly people. The island was alternately a Dutch, a French and a British colony. It is still a member of the Commonwealth, like other former British colonies, including India. After almost one and a half century under British rules (1810-1968), Mauritius is now an independent Republic, which suffers from the typical trauma linked to decolonisation and the post-colonial era. As a result, we can spot problems linked to identity construction in multiethnic societies along with the dysfunctions related to inequalities among the groups in this country. This thesis proposes to go beyond the idyllic image that we have of this island, to focus on the daily life of its inhabitants, more specifically on the social relationships among the Creoles and between the Creoles and other groups. We try to identify and explain the reasons why a certain class of Creoles is particularly affected by poverty and discrimination, which lead to evils such as prostitution, drugs, alcoholism, domestic violence, rape, street children and teenage pregnancy. After recalling the different phases of settlement in Mauritius, we focus on some controversial concepts such as, "race", colour, globalisation, gaze and perception, to understand the rather conflicting relations among the different communities, especially between Creoles and Hindus. We hypothesise that the historical past and slavery – as well as the dehumanisation affecting Creole ancestors – are still weighing on their descendants. Through case studies, interviews and observations, we analyse the limits in inter-ethnic and inter-community relations, and attempt to define the specificities of each group to determine whether it can be considered as an ethnic group, a community or a simple social group. The results of our field research show that different forms of discrimination are exercised against the Creoles, and that they are mainly due to obstruction by the Hindus, the only true ‘owners' of local political power along with the wealthy Whites and the wealthy Chinese. However, we observe that the Creoles finally seem to accept their identity in a postcolonial world where they find empowerment and are able to distance themselves from their ancestors' slave past
