Color that Matters A Comparative Approach to Mixed Race Identity and Nordic Exceptionalism

Color that Matters A Comparative Approach to Mixed Race Identity and Nordic Exceptionalism

This book examines the ways in which mixed ethnic identities in Scandinavia are formed along both cultural and embodied lines arguing that while the official discourses in the region refer to a post-racial or color blind era color still matters in the lives of people of mixed ethnic descent. Drawing on research from people of mixed ethnic backgrounds the author offers insights into how color matters and is made to matter and into the ways in which terms such as ethnic and ethnicity remain very much indebted to their older racialized grammar. Color that Matters moves beyond the conventional Anglo-American focus of scholarship in this field showing that while similarities exist between the racial and ethnic discourses of the US and UK and those found in the Nordic region Scandinavia and Norway in particular manifests important differences in part owing to a tendency to view itself as exceptional or outside the colonial heritage of race and imperialism. Presenting both a contextualization of racial discourses since World War II based on documentary analysis and new interview material with people of mixed ethnic backgrounds the book acts as a corrective to the blind spot within Scandinavian research on ethnic minorities offering a new reading of race for the Nordic region that engages with the idea that color has been emptied of legitimate cultural content. | Color that Matters A Comparative Approach to Mixed Race Identity and Nordic Exceptionalism

Mixed Towns Trapped Communities Historical Narratives Spatial Dynamics Gender Relations and Cultural Encounters in Palestinian-Israeli Towns

Mixed Towns Trapped Communities Historical Narratives Spatial Dynamics Gender Relations and Cultural Encounters in Palestinian-Israeli Towns

Modern urban spaces are by definition mixed socio-spatial configurations. In many ways their enduring success and vitality lie in the richness of their ethnic texture and ongoing exchange of economic goods cultural practices political ideas and social movements. This mixture however is rarely harmonious and has often led to violent conflict over land and identity. Focusing on mixed towns in Israel/Palestine this insightful volume theorizes the relationship between modernity and nationalism and the social dynamics which engender and characterize the growth of urban spaces and the emergence therein of inter-communal relations. For more than a century Arabs and Jews have been interacting in the workplaces residential areas commercial enterprises cultural arenas and political theatres of mixed towns. Defying prevailing Manichean oppositions these towns both exemplify and resist the forces of nationalist segregation. In this interdisciplinary volume a new generation of Israeli and Palestinian scholars come together to explore ways in which these towns have been perceived as utopian or dystopian and whether they are best conceptualized as divided dual or colonial. Identifying ethnically mixed towns as a historically specific analytic category this volume calls for further research comparison and debate. | Mixed Towns Trapped Communities Historical Narratives Spatial Dynamics Gender Relations and Cultural Encounters in Palestinian-Israeli Towns

A Study of Mixed Legal Systems: Endangered Entrenched or Blended

A Study of Mixed Legal Systems: Endangered Entrenched or Blended

A Study of Mixed Legal Systems: Endangered Entrenched or Blended takes the reader on a fascinating voyage of discovery. It includes case studies of a number of systems from across the globe: Cyprus Guyana Jersey Mauritius Philippines Quebec St Lucia Scotland and Seychelles. Each combines its legal legacies in novel ways. Large and small in Europe and beyond some are sovereign some part of larger political units. Some are monolingual some bilingual some multilingual. Along with an analytical introduction and conclusion the chapters explore the manner in which the elements of these mixed systems may be seen to be ’entrenched’ ’endangered’ or ’blended’. It explores how this process of legal change happens questions whether some systems are at greater risk than others and details the strategies that have been adopted to accelerate or counteract change. The studies involve consideration of the colourful histories of the jurisdictions of their complex relationships to parent legal systems and traditions and of language legal education and legal actors. The volume also considers whether the experiences of these systems can tell us something about legal mixtures and movements generally. Indeed the volume will be helpful both for scholars and students with a special interest in mixed legal systems as well as anyone interested in comparative law and legal history in the diversity and dynamism of law.

Exploring Dual and Mixed Mode Provision of Distance Education

Exploring Dual and Mixed Mode Provision of Distance Education

This book explores issues related to people policy and places of teaching and learning resulting from the trend towards dual and multi-mode provision of distance education. It explores reasons for the trend as well as some of the opportunities and challenges which may arise. In many developing countries demand for higher education provision outstrips the supply of full-time places; while in many developed countries the cost of full-time provision means that distance and online provision may be more accessible than full-time provision. At the same time the growing use of online learning platforms has generally resulted in more flexible forms of provision. Consequently an increasing number of higher education institutions now offer dual (contact and distance or online) or multi-mode (contact and distance and online and other) forms of provision. This volume helps to navigate this changing distance education landscape. The chapters in this book were originally published in Distance Education. | Exploring Dual and Mixed Mode Provision of Distance Education

The Boundaries of Mixedness A Global Perspective

The Boundaries of Mixedness A Global Perspective

The Boundaries of Mixedness tackles the burgeoning field of critical mixed race studies bringing together research that spans five continents and more than ten countries. Research on mixedness is growing yet there is still much debate over what exactly mixed race means and whether it is a useful term. Despite a growing focus on and celebration of mixedness globally particularly in the media societies around the world are grappling with how and why crossing socially constructed boundaries of race ethnicity and other markers of difference matter when considering those who date marry raise families or navigate their identities across these boundaries. What we find collectively through the ten studies in this book is that in every context there is a hierarchy of mixedness both in terms of intimacy and identity. This hierarchy of intimacy renders certain groups as more or less marriable socially constructed around race ethnicity caste religion skin color and/or region. Relatedly there is also a hierarchy of identities where certain races languages ethnicities and religions are privileged and valued differently. These differences emerge out of particular local histories and contemporary contexts yet there are also global realities that transcend place and space. The Boundaries of Mixedness is a significant new contribution to mixed race studies for academics researchers and advanced students of Ethnic and Racial Studies Sociology History and Public Policy. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Intercultural Studies. | The Boundaries of Mixedness A Global Perspective

Nominal Pluralization and Countability in African Varieties of English

Nominal Pluralization and Countability in African Varieties of English

This book is the first comprehensive analysis of nominal plural marking its morphosyntax and semantics across different African varieties of English. Mohr explores the rich diversity in the varieties and how different conceptualizations of the number category are realized across different cultures. The investigation of unstandardized noun plurals in Kenyan Tanzanian Ghanaian and Nigerian Englishes is based on a mixed methods design drawing on corpus linguistics acceptability questionnaires and psycholinguistic experiments. In this vein the book not only contributes to the description of each of these four varieties but also sheds light on standardization processes and language change in New Englishes. Importantly it is a plea for the triangulation of data and mixed methods approaches in World Englishes research as the combination of these methods grants insight into unforeseen areas of language structures and use. This volume is a useful reference work for students and researchers in World Englishes varieties of English and African Studies as well as those interested in linguistic anthropology. | Nominal Pluralization and Countability in African Varieties of English
