Last stripng, the program received the ultimate endorsement. Because of its enormous cross-over appeal, the hip hop culture is a potentially great unifier of diverse populations. It has gone from the fringes, to the suburbs, and into the corporate boardrooms. Although critics of rap music and the hip hop culture seemed to be fixated on the messages of sex, violence, and harsh language, this genre offers us a paradigm of what can be. The potential of this art form to mend ethnic relations is substantial. In the same vein, the hip hop culture has challenged the system in ways that have unified individuals particularly youth across a rich ethnic spectrum.

This paper will discuss the development of the hip hop culture, the cross-over appeal of hip hop, and the potential of this culture to mend ethnic cleavages in our society. Street language is transmitted to the hip hop culture through rap music. One can hear a Chinese or Filipino hip hopper using the same slang as the African American hip hopper. Irrespective of their ethnicity hip hoppers use adjectives such as dope, da bomb, legit, hittin, all that, to describe something that is excellent. Contrary to the traditional derogatory meaning of the word, hip hoppers use the word as a term of endearment.

Street language has become a pidgin language of sorts. Hence, this culture is bounded linguistically. Boston, , 3. The socio-political context of the integration of sport in America.

He received his Bachelors of Arts degree in political science from Vanderbilt University in Reese grew up in a rural town in Georgia McDonough. His father, Earnest Reese, was a pioneer in the field of journalism. He became infuriated at the constructed division between the black and white communities. He also became disgruntled with the lack of dialogue between these communities.

At a very early age, he realized that he would like to dedicate his life to issues that help people of different races bridge gaps of mistrust. The tragic death of Latasha Harlins in South Central Los Angeles and his dissatisfaction with race relations prompted him to create this multiethnic human relations module. Today, this program has serviced approximately , K students in 17 school districts in California.

This program has also been implemented in police departments, hospitals, and various other organizations. Reese has authored two cultural sensitivity manuals and one curriculum guide. He has developed a Colorful Flags board game. Reese is currently an assistant professor of public administration at California State Polytechnic University in Pomona.

He did his doctoral dissertation research on intergroup relations and ethnic conflict at the United Nations Research Institute for Social Development in Geneva, Switzerland. He has written several articles on ethnic relations. His most comprehensive work on this topic was featured in the June edition of Multicultural Review volume 6, number 2. Ultimately, he would like to be the U. Ambassador to the United Nations. Victimization and partial unequal treatment. Civil Right Movement of 63, M.

He discussed the Chinese presence in African and Chinese relations with Sub-saharan African countries. The talk was insightful and engaging. There was substantive back and forth during the Question and Answer part of his lecture at the very end.

It was a good event. I remember they invited us to dinner on the 15th floor of one of the big hotels over there. There was a white Ph. He was fascinated by the talk and told my professor so. He hung around with us so long that my professor asked him if he wanted to join us for dinner. When we got to dinner, there were 5 Chinese hosts, me and my professor, and the Ph.

They raved about the lecture to my professor before we took our seats. At the table, it was embarrassing. In fact, there are few times that I have been more embarrassed in my life. The Chinese hosts had almost forgotten about my professor. He seemed totally content with how things unfolded. I think I would have been more like the professor. Dez started to discuss big picture issues. People in the colonies liked the British Accent, the demeanor, the air of sophistication, the worldliness of the British.

America has mainly done this through its exports of popular culture to every pocket of the world. How can we be a superpower like the U. We had to pledge allegiance to the American flag in school. We sing our national anthem at all the sporting events.

Jean Auel [1936- ]

We are Americans because we were born there. We preach one thing and practice another. The homies in the set had a party the night he won. At the same time, they know nothing was going to change for them because America will not let him make dramatic changes. Everything has to be watered down.

The word socialism means collectivism or community. Today, the definition of socialism has been appropriated and reinterpreted as meaning misguided. So at any point there is government interference in domestic affairs, it can be construed as socialism. In modern times, we have accepted the progressive tax system, which is socialist in nature. College students receive financial aid, which is socialistic. This educational feature in U.

These Obama-haters will not give him a slither of credit for making efforts to better their lives. Our democracy was designed for bargaining, negotiation, conciliation, and reconciliation. Senator Lindsay Graham has attempted to moderate his conservative stance on a number of hot button issues. In Federalist Paper 10, Founding Father James Madison warned us against the threat of factions undermining our democracy.

Today, a few guys with a microphone and access to the public airwaves are leading a dangerously counterproductive faction that is undermining our democracy. Madison and his founding colleagues did not intend for a handful of non-accountable citizens to have this embarrassing level of control over our lawmakers.

In order for American citizens to heal the wounds of our broken democracy we must transcend the politics of hate and hold each rabble-rouser on the Left and the Right accountable for their divisive language. We must begin to elect lawmakers that are independent-minded. This is the time to argue, debate, reconcile, and move forward collectively. This is the democratic formula that has made America great. This is the American way. The harder he has tried to appease and compromise with the Republicans the harder they have fought him. Ideologues in the Republican Party have been staunchly against any new taxes—even it means that increased taxes will help reduce the deficit.

Recently, I asked my political science students at Cal Poly Pomona the following question: Our taxes help build our roads and schools; they help pay the salaries of our teachers, police officers, and our military personnel. In discussing the deficit-reduction debate for my class this summer, I discussed the topic of taxes and patriotism with my students.

For my example of patriotism in the U. The people that want to be taxed for the development and wellbeing of our country have been labeled as un-patriotic Americans. The people that do not want to pay taxes see themselves as patriotic Americans. Moreover, the people that want the president to fail, even at the expense of the country failing, consider themselves true patriots—real Americans.

In giving this example to the students, at the expense of confusing them, I showed them why our current politics are dysfunctional. The fact is, if you are not willing to serve in our military or pay taxes in this country your patriotism is based on non-sacrificial rhetoric. Anger, hostility, and anti-Obama sentiment have blinded conservatives and restricted them from embracing fundamental principles of our democracy. In the Iowa debate, Republican candidates were asked if they would accept a five or ten-dollar cut in spending to a one-dollar tax increase formula.

All eight candidates said no. Fearful of an increasingly extremist right wing, Republican candidates are afraid to go solo and moderate their views. They are afraid to tell the ideologues in their party that we cannot create jobs just by cutting the deficit—that we cannot just cut, cut, cut, and then build, build, build—revenue has to be raised in order to invest in building infrastructure, investing in education and technology.

These candidates have been afraid to tell their followers what billionaire Warren Buffet recently told America: Buffet, one of the most trusted voices in the business world, gave Obama a gift that is worth more than any campaign contribution. He has given the president oxygen when he needed it the most. If Obama ever gets his mojo back, he has one patriotic American to thank. Democrats are riding the wave of an extraordinary convention that was just what the doctor ordered — in more than one way. The convention inspired a Democratic base that was largely uninspired before the convention.

What if Obama was the CEO of Bain Capital and sought profit by any means necessary, including outsourcing jobs to foreign countries? He would certainly not be able to tout this as an accomplishment on the campaign trail. This would surely be scandalous because no other president in U. We all know the answer to this question. There is no way Obama would have been elected president with such a mark on his record.

With this profile, Obama would lose this election in a landslide. What explains this paradox? This type of sophomoric and hateful logic is dangerous to our nation. I followed the London Olympics each day with great anticipation. Like many of us, I wanted to know what the overall medal count was each day.

Numéros en texte intégral

From a geo-political perspective, the medal count is significant. Indeed, the success in the Games is symbolic of the perceived health, strength, and vitality of a nation. By winning the most metals with and winning the overall gold medal count with 46, the U. The First Lady was greeted warmly by the British, the international fans, and by the U. When the members of Team USA basketball walked into the stands to give the First Lady a hug after their victory over France, it was one of the most touching and memorable scenes of the Games.

With grace, charm, and her own charisma, there is not a classier representative of the U. The Olympics inspired national pride. This nationalism has the potential to mitigate some of the political divisiveness in the country. If so, President Obama will benefit from this esprit de corps. Moreover, these Games were the full manifestation of Title IX, which ensured gender equity in college athletics 40 years ago. In fact, no U. This was the first Olympics that the U. At the opening and closing ceremonies, one conspicuous site was the physical appearance of the national teams.

There was no national team that had the diversity of the American team. Our dynamic ethnic diversity was on display for the world to see throughout the Games. This inclusive multicultural spirit explains how we elected the first African American president in and why we will elect him again in Obama will ultimately benefit from these Olympic Games because of the national pride they have inspired.

These Games have shown each American and the world that the U. In the end, Obama will benefit from the collective love, pride, joy, and excitement that these Games brought to our nation, which will propel him to the top position on the podium and will enable him to win the ultimate gold medal.

If King could observe America today he would be disappointed with the state of this nation. At the heart of the Occupy Wall Street protests are the staggering disparities between the rich and the poor in this country. King would adamantly agree that the top one percent should not live at the expense of the 99 percent. King would be disappointed that we have lost thousands of lives and spent over a trillion dollars in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. He would not buy the argument that either war was necessary. He would be disappointed in our failure to provide quality education in our urban schools.

He would also be disappointed in our biased and hyper-punitive criminal justice system. King would surely be perplexed by the state of our presidential politics. He would see the similarities in the folks that denounced him in Birmingham, Memphis, and Washington, D. Observing the same hate, vitriol, and disrespect would surely disappoint him. In many ways, President Obama has reflected the spirit of King. He has endorsed the Dream Act, which secures higher education opportunities for illegal immigrants of good moral character.

He has fought to extend unemployment benefits to those who have lost their jobs. At the height of the Civil Rights Movement, King was hated by many in this country. They thought he was a rabble-rousing socialist who was cancerous to America. People hated King for trying to do the right thing—for trying to hold this nation accountable for living up to the egalitarian spirit of the Constitution.

People hated King and could not explain why. He only became an icon of peace and racial reconciliation over a decade after his assassination. In the same spirit, some people hate our president and cannot quite put their finger on why. King would be receptive to robust debate and opposition towards the president based on substantive policy issues; this is a reflection of our dynamic democracy.

However, King would be ashamed of the hate-infused politics of dysfunction that have recently paralyzed our nation. For many of us, Martin Luther King Jr. Day is simply a day off of work or a day off from school. In legislative assemblies, schools, and in the workplace, we should embrace behavior that would make King proud, not disappointed. In our private and public lives we should strive to embrace his Beloved Community. Republicans are currently going through an identity crisis.

Republicans have been against so much that it is difficult to tell what they actually support. Beyond lowering the deficit and cutting taxes, Republicans do not seem to have any other issues on their agenda. Ask a Republican how do we create jobs and lower the unemployment rate? How do we solve the high drop out rates in our inner city schools? How do we reform our health care system?

How should we embrace sustainable energy? How do we regulate corporate abuse? For these, and other complex questions, Republicans have a non-complex and simplistic answer: Trump could not muster any legitimate policy issues to challenge President Obama on so he turned to his birth certificate. Astute Republican candidates are dropping and will continue to drop out of the race because they understand that they cannot win a general election with such a narrow-minded agenda.

The growing Republican identity crisis has been manifested in other ways as well. How can either of these high profile Republicans lecture Americans about morality or traditional values? For example, Mitt Romney implemented Obama-style health care in Massachusetts. Instead of critiquing the pros and cons of his approach, many Republicans see Romney as unelectable because of this single policy initiative. Obama has also played a significant role in this current complexion crisis. When he killed Osama bin Laden, Republicans could no longer claim to be stronger on the anti-terrorism and national security front.

This also undercut the growing chatter on the Right that Obama was an un-American Muslim sympathizer. When he agreed in to extend the Bush tax cuts he temporarily took taxes off the table. He is now advocating drilling for oil in the U. He has agreed to substantially cut the federal deficit, so he has minimized this as an issue. Republicans want to get in the ring and fight Obama but they lack a coherent fight plan. They are finding it increasingly difficult to box with Obama—because he takes jabs and body blows like no other, because he bobs and weaves like no other.

Every time they think they have him against the ropes and cornered he escapes—delivering his own lethal jabs and body blows. In the end, it will be the lack of a coherent Republican fight plan and the resilience of the toughest political boxer in American history that will leave one person standing in Maybe then, Republicans will realize that Obama was their best option all along. But, Romney let conservative extremism snatch victory from his assured hands.

Romney lost this election because he began his campaign too far to the Right and could not work his way back to the center in time. In fact, it was his tacit embrace of the negative spirit of his party that undermined his presidential bid. The overarching posture of modern day conservatism is oppositional.

The no- compromise stance of Republicans has proven to be sophomoric, counterproductive, and undemocratic. Ask New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, what Republicans really think about bipartisanship and compromise—even when dealing with a devastating natural disaster. Ironically, this anti-Obama hate has crippled the GOP. Republicans put their disdain for the president over the public good, which turned out to be a losing formula. Not only did they not achieve their four-year objective of making Obama a one-term president, the backlash to their hate is being seen in Obama celebrations throughout the nation.

When you are harshly oppositional to all of these groups you necessarily limit your voting pool. Republican Senatorial candidates Todd Akins and Richard Murdock are reflections of the new unfettered conservatism. There is inevitable collateral damage when righteous conservatism goes unchecked. If Romney were candid, he would tell us that his base held him hostage. He would tell us that instead of tap-dancing for the Rush Limbaughs of the right wing, he should have charted the same moderate course that he did as governor of Massachusetts.

Moreover, he would tell us about his political dilemma; in order to appeal to his base he had to take an unyielding stance against a host of policy initiatives and groups. The more animosity he directed towards the liberal perspective the more it energized his base—but alienated others. With Obama securing 80 percent of the minority vote and Romney securing 60 percent of the white vote, race politics was palpable in this election.

The problem for the Republicans is that wooing only the white male vote is a failing strategy. And as the demographics increasingly shift towards a more diverse nation, Republicans will find it even more difficult in the coming years to win the White House and senatorial seats with their current philosophy.

If the Republican Party does not become more inclusive and less hostile toward progressive initiatives they will be irrelevant and extinct sooner than later. I discuss the political chess game of ideology. This quarter it was quite confusing for my students to understand Conservatism v. Liberalism because the traditional descriptors for each perspective seemed to flip-flop. For example, the new tax deal that was signed by President Obama is peppered with ideological contradictions.

The bill passed with a vote in the House and an vote in the Senate. Traditionally advocates of the underdog, Democrats voted to give the wealthy tax breaks with this bill. Republicans, traditionally advocates of reducing the deficit and adamant opponents of stimulus strategies, voted for this bill. What was more confusing to my students than these ironic twists by politicians is the practical ideological contradictions embraced by the average American.

I asked him in class how he was surviving. Why would my rebel-flag-and-camouflage-wearing friends be against an estate tax levied on the very wealthy — the same country club types that they despise? The candid answers explain the tragedy of ideology in this nation. Overworked and perpetually busy, Americans do not have time for nuance or detail. We have become reactionary and robotic in the way we respond to our politics du jour. Without introspection and a careful examination of why we support some policies and oppose others, Americans wait for ideologues to tell them what to think.

Rush and his proteges spout these instructions to naive followers on the airwaves daily. With the mesmerizing influence of a charismatic demagogue, Rush inspires his followers to passionately fight against their own best interests — metaphorically encouraging them to drink poisonous grape Kool-Aid. The landslide congressional wins by Republicans in the midterm elections taught or reminded the president that the average American is not interested in a nuanced deconstruction of public policies.

Instead, they are susceptible to manipulation by venomous sound bites and unflattering labels. Given this refresher, the president has masterfully retreated. He has compromised and given the Republicans the ideological leverage to expose their own glaring contradictions. Now that he has given Republicans their tax cut, what else do they have on their limited agenda?

He has effectively taken this trump card off the table. This will sound contradictory. As conservatives they understand the consequences of fiddling with the defense budget. In the game of political chess, by taking taxes off the Republican agenda, Obama has effectively taken their queen. Every so often he encountered a specimen like this;his Blanchie called them the PCnicks, the even-Hitler-has-rights delegation. Their daughter in law Arlene was a card-carrying member of this union-soft in the head sheltered cuddled American liberal do-gooders type with absolutely no clue about what was possible on this planet in the department of chaos and horror.

Jesus Christ, the Poles were victims too-martyrs, Christians. Why was all the attention focused only on te Jews? In places like China with over a billio population, they must be stunned when they discover one fine morning that therer are after all so few Jews in the world, given all the noise and trouble these Jews stir up and the landfills of verbiage they generate. Almost nothing could surprise me anymore.

A steady trickle of returnees over the past few years has turned into a steady stream. Most return for the opportunity, but also it is where their roots are. Judge rejects suit for translation. New York Times, 24 oct. There is a curious aspect to the battle over Proposition 63, the proposal to designate English as the official state language. This is supposed to be one of the high-voltage issues on the ballot, as suggested by the emotional heat being generated in arguments for and against.

But the heat is altogether on the peripheries; the public is, from all indications, unaffected by the noisy debate This is because the public, from all indications, unaffected by the noicy debate, because the public for once has its mind made up. On November 4 the voters will and shouId, we think—approve this proposition.

The polls show an overwhelming support; there is no stopping Position Nor, after the returns are in, and through the months years ahead, will the dark prophecies of the opponents ever materialize. This measure will not become, as they say now, an implement of racism, a tool for discrimination along ethnic lines. This state constitutional amendment will serve to disabuse anyone of the nonsense, which otherwise might arise in future years, that multilingualism is a credible option in the larger affairs of California.

The unforgettable message from the public majority-engraved as state policy—will be that people who want to succeed need to learn common language, quickly and thoroughly It is a message of practicality, not of ethnocenhicity The majority that favors this proposition is not racist or xenophobic, but simply realistic. We think the California majority wants to hell, immigrants to assimilate and succced rather than to raise a barrier against them. This is a law to help ove the melting pot, not interfere with it. True enough, a large majority of immigrants is learning English rapidly and has a passion to do so, but some newcomers are neglecting this imperative.

And while there is no push for a legal division of uages, there is some pressure to insert legal concessions to linguistic division as on juries. Rather, it could be a spur to more intensive and effective bilingual education,of the kind that gets quicker results in the teaching of English to newcomers than do some of the slowmotion bilingual curricull.

No one should look upon Proposition 63 as an insult to ethnic identity: This initiative just asserts the obvious — that the citizen who does not become proficient in English is lost in the competition for higher achievement in this state. Also, it expresses the conviction that the common language is the glue that helps to hold a society together. The frightful problems of some nations that are divided linguistically attest to the wisdom of the common-language thesis. The long-term practicalities of national cohesion and the advancement of immigrants in American life.

Politics is often a realm of nuance, compromise, grays, and maybes. It is a world rarely populated by things that are clearly good and clearly bad. Arizona has been treated to an exception to the rule in the form of Proposition Without ifs. Critics of the measure produce volumes of problems with the proposition.

They name grief after grief that would be visited upon the state under such a jingoistic and draconian amendment to the constitution Adults seeking to learn English would be turned away because the amendment would forbid the use of foreign languages by government entities. There is every reason to believe that an Arirona governor on an official mission to Mexico could not give a speech in Spanish, much less have her paid staff producethe speech.

Proponents of the proposition give a standard rebuttal to all of these criticisms and more. They say that the amendment would really have no effect at all 50 why bother! Why all the efforts, all the money spent to promote the Official English measure! They know exactly what it willdo it will set up a twotiered social and legal system in Arizona. Above all, and this is most important to the most zealous supporters of this proposition, it will make it clear just whoh boss around here. They want them to leave or.

In one sense racism itself awas part of the British heritage, but htere is no doubt that the advocacy of White Australia revealed a new and nastry stridency. Would not Japan imitate Europe in imperial pretentions as well? The Unique and, to many, the perplexing achievement of Australian democracy has been to combien and egalitarian tradition with the politics of class. Lacking a titled aristocracy and lesured class clonial societety encouged an egalitariansim of manners.

In Victoria the severity of the s depression and the political emphasis on recovery had discouraged polirisation. In Tasmania and Western Australia paries hardly existed at all. Labor was the organisational peacemaker, and its methodes were often imitated. Labor was a trade union-based party. The party which musroomed after in Western Australi. The sense in which Australians assumed a need for cultrual conformity is reflected in attitudes to minorities.

At the best of times there were always those, like trade unionists, who resisted immigration programmes, but if there were to be immigrants then the general preference was fro Britishers. Homogeneity was to this extent manufactured, and its proclamation was calculated to intimidate racial minoritesl. The White Austalia policy ensured that Asians were kept out, but the entry of small numbers of southern europeans, I talians, Yugoslavs and greeks, aroused hostility.

In the late s refugees from Nazism, mostly Jews, added a new strand. Even when such European migrants attempted to meet the demand to assimilate promptly their foreignness guaratneed that they were treated with suspicion. Do not make yourself conspicuous anywhere by walking with a group fo persons, all of whom are loudly speaking a forwign language.

Remember that the welfare of the old-established Jewish communities in Australia, as well as of every migrant, depends on your personal behaviour. Few Australians saw immigration as socially beneficial. To be an immigrant entailed a cetrain stigma. Aborigines could hardly be treated as immigrants, but more tellingly, they could be ignored, their very existence almost expunged from the national couscousness. So the Constitutin laid don that they should not be counted at the census as members of the Australian population.

As late as it was possible for an inquiry to exonerate police in Central Australi who had shot 31 abos as a reprisal for the alleged murder of a white man…but by the s there was the beginning of an agitation, led principally by anthropologists and church missionaries, to recognize a positive resp9onsibiltiy for the welfare of the abos. Elkin startedd his carrier as an anglican priest, and whose work pioneered an understanding of abo religion.

For the first time a pro-abo lobby, operating through the Association for theProtection of Native Races, began to be heard. Aftehr the Great War, the beach became the symbol of aAUstralia at pleasure. It foolwoed taht Austraia needed its won diplomatic representation, and in ambassadors to Japan, the US and China were appointed.

Instrumental in this was Herbert Vere Evatt, the pugnacious and controversial external affairs minister. When Japan entered the war, Evatt saw to it that unlike , Australia made its own formal declaration. As planning for the peace began, Evatt emerged as a busy and determined spokesman for the samll nations, seeking to ensure that theri interests were not overlooked in the deals negotiated between the big Five.

But from the Australian perspective, the real bereak with the past was signalled by Britain when it b wegan ngotiations in to enter the EEC. The production of the first Holden car in by General Motors is generally regarded as a symbolic moment in this relatioship. Perhaps the emerging complexity of the American relationship is best seen in the tradgedy of Vietnam. It was part of the Ausrtalian psychology -or at least the psychology of most policy makers, that there was a prime need to keep Amercia invoved in the Pacific region.

There had always been uncertianties as to how binding the ANZUS commitment was, and it seemed that Australia sought every opportuniy to make the word flesh. The Church of England, for example, began to look for its archbishops at home rather than in Englad, and in transfored itelf into the Anglican Church of Australia.

A parallel transition was occurring in the Catholic Church, as the old generation of Irish. The late s saw a rapid expansion of subsidy to the arts, and this was largely justified in terms of the need to express an Australian culture …. When, after decades of controversy and scalating expense, the Sydney Opera House was opened in , it immediately became, for all its pactical faults as a building, a symbol of a new cultural optimism.

Australi was also shedding its small colonial emprie, in particualr Papua New Guinea. Although the entry of Japan into the war was not unexpected, Pearl Harb or was an immense shock …. The transforamtion of Japan from wartime foe a target for both racial fear and contempt into a major trading partner has been accomplished quietly and carefully, but for many years the cultural implications of the relationship were tactfully avoided. Welcoming American troups in Prime Minister Curtin stressed their similarity to Australians. Curtin was nevertheless wrong on all counts.

Ihey not only spoke differently. While the challenge of defending Australia was often cited as a jutification for immigration, it was more the commitment to economic growth which ultimately provided its rationale. Between and more than two million migrants came. It hardly needed savmg that british migrants were preferred, and some , were attracted. Nordic migrants from northern Europe were welcomed as being the next best thing to British, but soon substantial numbers of southern Europeans, Italians, Greeks, Yugoslavs and Maltese were taken: If southern Eurupeans were only grudgingly accepted, Asians were virtually tabou.

Australia had decided that it wqanted immigration, but it did not particularly want immigrants. Grown, not diversity, was the preoccupation. The accumulating migrant presence began to change society without many Australians noticing it. Political parties assumed that dipspersal was desirable, and resisted moves to create ethnic branches: And although migrant communities formed urban clusters, there did not develop the clearly defined ghettoes which characterised American cities. Migrangs, in the early years, understandably failed to penetrate the instituins of the host society, they were creating, or re-creating, their own institutions.

Fro Greeks, for example, the Orthodox Czhurch was of viatal importance, while the family, such a pivotal instition in the immigrant expreince, carried the essential Greek culture with it. Because they tended to be preoccupied with immediate survival, and because they were fragmented by language and cultrue, migrants could not easily make themselves heard.

As migrants arrived the policy of immigration itself underwent subtle changes. The modest programme of aid to the undeveloped countries of south and sout-east asia which external affaris minster Spender helped launch as the Colombo Plan of brought large numbers of Asian studebnts to study in Australia. They were only visitors, but the gesture of racial goodwill involved, even if patronizing, seemed to make a symbolic dent in the white australia policy.

Thus technically tzhe White Ausralia policy had been discarded. At the same time the difficulty in keeping up the supply of immigangs in the s forced the immigration department to recuit in countries non considered before, such as Trukey. So the first significant numbers of non-Christians since the Chinese of the goldrushes began to arrive.

The opening of Monash University in heralded a spate of new universites designed to cater for the expanded expectations of a post-war baby boom generation.

In Fraser legislated for Aboriginal land rights in the Northern Territoiry, but had less success in persuading the States to cooperatioe in making their Crown land available.

Thus although spelled the end of the optimism associated with the experimentation of the counter-culture and the reformist programme of the Whitlam goverment, it was not until the s that the new cultural issues crystallised. Perhaps Aborigines had the most cause for disillusion. Dependent politically on white conscience and goodwill, they saw the promise of land rights being eroded. Before WWII both had been nlargely ignored by the universities. Structure, History and Use, edited by S. Language Contact and Language Generation: The Handbook of Sociolinguistics. Pidgins and creoles are new varieties of language generated in situations of language contacts.

A pidgin is sharply restricted in social role, used for limited communication between speakers or two or langauges who have repeated, extended contacts with each other, for instance through trade, enslavement, or migration. A pidgin usually combines elements of the native languages of its users and is typically simpler than those native languages insofar as it has fewer words, less morphology and a more restricted range of phonological and syntactic options ….

A creole, in the classic sense of Hall , is a pidgin that has acquired native speakers, usually, the descendants of pidgin speakers who grow up using the pidgin as their first language. In keeping with their extended social role, creoles typically have a larger vicabulary and more complicated grammatical resources than pidgins. However, some extended pidgins which serve as the primary language of their speakers … are already quite complex, and seem relatively unaffected by the acquisition of native speakers. Although it was assumed for a long time that croles evolved from pidgins, Thomason and Kaufman Thomason, S.

Berkeley, University of California Press. Sociolinguistic factors in the history of American Negro dialects. Rickford and Schneider Schneider, E. To my mind, there is enough persuasive evidence in these data to suggest that AAVE did have some creole roots. The very fact that copula absence is widespread both in AAVE and mesolectal creoles, b ut not in white Englishes outside of American South strongly suggests htat at least some of the predecesors of modern AAVE arose from a restructuring pricess similar to that which produced the English based creoles.

The Ebonics controversy in my backyard: Linguists sometimes seem to have a NIMBY attitude towards Applied Linguistics issues and the Great Language Debates of our Times, motivated perhaps by the fear that they will distract us from the theoretical and descriptive research we consider our bread and butter if not our fame and fortune , that they will devour our time and dilute our expertise, or that they will lead us into uncharted waters for which our training and experience provide little preparation.

Jesse Jackson, political activist. Within a few days, however, the media began turning to linguists to provide examples and descriptions of Ebonics and opinions about the Oakland decision, and, like other specialists in AAVE, my phone began ringing off the hook. After that, I continued to get occasional overtures from the media, but my main involvement since then has been responding to requests from conference organizers, universities, church and community groups to talk about the Ebonics controversy or participate in panel discussions on the topic, replying to email and other requests for information from high school and college students doing papers on Ebonics, and trying to expand my own reading, research and writing on the subject.

All in all, this Ebonics controversy in my backyard has been the most intense, all-encompassing, exhilarating, exhausting, thought-provoking and emotion-stirring experience I have ever had as a sociolinguist, and I would not have NIMBYed it for the world. In what follows, I will delineate my involvement in it in a little more detail and reflect on what I learned—and continue to learn—from the experience.

The LSA Resolution s. Since I was a member of the LSA executive committee at the time, Geoff and some other LSA movers and shakers thought I would be in a good position to sponsor a resolution, Building on some concrete suggestions from Nunberg, I drafted a resolution on my flight to Chicago January 1, ; this was approved with minor modifications by the LSA executive committee the next day. As it turns out, I need not have worried.

To my amazement, syntacticians, semanticists, sociolinguists and linguists of other stripes and persuasions rose to speak in support of the proposals—if anything they wanted to make them even more radical—and a four-point resolution was unanimously approved. The full text of the resolution can be found at http: Moreover, the LSA has overwhelmingly approved other strong proposals on public policy issues involving language over the past twelve years.

The text of these resolutions can be found on the web at http: Nor did the involvement of linguists end with the drafting of resolutions. Several other linguists who could not be present including myself submitted letters to be read into the Senate record. However, Senator Arlen Specter seemed to be impressed with the testimony. The research will be jointly conducted in Oakland under the direction of Etta Hollins , and in Philadelphia under the direction of William Labov.

Reaching and reacting to the media and the public. In the many months that have passed since the Ebonics controversy broke, I have learned many lessons about dealing with the media and the public, and since they may be of interest to linguists who get involved in other language policy discussions, it might be useful to pass them on. In the case at hand, the mainstream view was that Ebonics itself was street slang, and that Oakland teachers were going to teach in it, or allow students to talk or write in it instead of in English.

It was in response to THIS misrepresentation of Ebonics and the Oakland resolutions that editorials, Op-Ed pieces, letters to the editor, cartoons, and agitated calls to radio talk shows were directed, and attempts to get alternative viewpoints aired were often very difficult, especially in the most prestigious media. I know of at least four Op-Ed submissions which they summarily rejected by Salikoko Mufwene, by Geoffrey Pullum, by Gene Searchinger, and myself , and there were undoubedtedly others. Similarly, other linguists like Geneva Smitherman had experiences similar to mine, in which leading television stations would do one and two hour interviews with us on the Ebonics issue, but never use any of it in their broadcasts.

Linguists should not avoid these leading media sources, but be aware that breaking into them can be difficult if the views you represent do not correspond to the mainstream view. In matters of language, they often do not. Surprisingly for me, the branch of the media that I found most receptive and most conducive to getting my point of view across was RADIO. Radio talk shows like National Public Radio, but also the commercial radio stations gave me the opportunity to state my own views directly and without editorial curtailment. Even when talk show hosts and callers clearly had different opinions from mine, I had the opportunity to respond to them live, and I always came away from these shows feeling that my views had been better represented than by newspaper reporters who used only a fraction of what you told them.

This is a medium and method we should increasingly exploit. When the Ebonics controversy broke, many linguists expressed frustration at the extent to which the public still appeared to have misconceptions about this and other vernaculars which we thought we had long ago dissipated—that it was simply the product of laziness or cussedness, for instance, or that it had no history or structure or regularity, or that it was a loose collection of slang words in which you could do or say pretty much what you please.

However, in harboring this frustration, we seem to have forgotten what advertisers of Colgate toothpaste and other products never forget: It was with this in mind that I accepted an invitation from Discover, the popular science magazine, to produce an expository piece on Ebonics. Although I labored long and hard at it, my first submission was rejected by the editor, who said that it was too technical.

I asked for a chance to revise and resubmit it, however, and studied previous Discover articles to see how writers managed to cover complex subjects in simple and lively ways. Eventually, my revised article was accepted, appearing in the December issue. Geoffrey Pullum also wrote a good general interest piece on Ebonics in the April issue of Nature magazine.

Our university training provides NO preparation for writing for the popular or semi-popular press quite the opposite—we are sometimes rewarded for technical or obfuscatory writing rather than clarity , but it should if we are to contribute to the Great Language Debates of our Times. One thing that I naively did not expect was the subtle and not-so-subtle nastiness that issues of language can elicit from the public. Can you wonder, John Boy, why the general public does not trust either educators, judges or politicians? He be a sucka. It comes with the territory.

More insidious than hate mail were the vicious Ebonics jokes and parodies which proliferated on web sites across the country and around the world. See Rickford and Rickford and Ronkin and Karn for examples and discussion. The need to know more. Explaining to legislators, the media and the public the systematicity of Ebonics and all language varieties is a good and worthy thing, but it is not enough.

In Rickford I had documented the fact that working class African American students in East Palo Alto and Philadelphia do poorly in reading and writing at the elementary level and fall increasingly behind their White counterparts in middle and high school. For instance, in , This evidence was of three kinds: These data are quite striking see Rickford in press for the details , but to maximize our potential to contribute to this Great Debate of our Time, we need to know more, through research, in relation to all three kinds of evidence. With respect to the teaching of reading, sociolinguists need to reach a deeper understanding of different approaches used by educators Whole Language versus Phonics and Phonemic Awareness, for instance , and the extent to which a nuanced knowledge of the system of Ebonics speakers might enhance their use.

Interference predictions are often not borne out for people learning a second language Ellis Finally, with respect to the issue of dialect readers, McWhorter The latter study was conducted over a four month period, in which the effects of the dialect readers on increased motivation and intelligibility could be more clearly discerned; the former studies were all one-shot studies, in which researchers compared the effects of reading Ebonics and Standard English words or texts at one point in time. Nevertheless, the differences in methodology and results need further consideration, and we need more replication and new research to be surer of our recommendations.

In the case of Ebonics, many linguists did get involved, in myriad ways, from passing resolutions, to helping to influence legislators, to speaking to the press and the public about the systematicity of all language varieties and the structure of Ebonics. In the process, we learned some lessons about the plusses and minuses of this kind of involvement which we can pass on to our colleagues and students for the future.

But the fundamental educational problems of African American speakers with which the linguistic issues interface are staggering, and although we have some evidence that linguistically sensitive approaches are helpful, there are gaps in and questions about these approaches which require new research. Ultimately, the quality of our contributions will depend on the depth of our knowledge and understanding. The study of second language acquistion.

Hun blir en trussel mot deres eksistens. Ayla figlia della Terra. La Gaja Scienza ; Valley of the Horses. Cruelly cast out by the ancient Clan that adopted her as a child, Ayla now travels alone in a land of glacial cold and terrifying beasts. She is searching for the Others, a race as tall, blond, and blue-eyed as she.

But Ayla finds only a hidden valley, where a herd of hardy steppe horses roams. Here, she is granted a unique kinship with animals, enabling her to learn the secrets of fire and raw survival -- but still, her need for human companionship and love remains unfulfilled. Then fate brings her a stranger, handsome Jondolar, and Ayla is torn between fear and hope -- and carried to an awakening of desire that would shape the future of mankind.

Now, with her devoted Jondalar, Ayla boldly sets forth into the land of the Mamutoi — the Mammoth Hunters, the Others she has been seeking. Though Ayla must learn their strange customs and language, it is because of her uncanny hunting and healing skills that she is adopted into the Mammoth Hearth. Here Ayla finds her first women friends, and painful memories of the Clan she left behind. Here, too, is Ranec, the dark-skinned, magnetic master carver of ivory tusks to whom Ayla is irresistibly drawn — setting Jondalar on fire with jealousy.

Ayla has been chosen as an acolyte and has embarked on the arduous task of training to become a spiritual leader. It is daunting, often perilous work that sometimes takes her away from her family. Ayla, Jondalar, and Jonayla are welcomed by the Zelandonii, but problems arise. They are faced with new challenges, not just the ordinary trials of sheer survival, but the complications posed by many groups of people who need to live and work together.

As the Bonding ceremony approaches, Snap's future remains unknown. But Whistle, when her mate doesn't return, chooses a stranger with ideas far more dangerous than the lions that kill with a single slash. When Snap challenges the stranger's growing power one too many times, she is brutally cast out to survive or perish. Abandoned and alone, she risks her life -- and the future of her people -- to stand up against an unthinkable evil. Unknown to her, the same danger threatens other villages as well. Soon, Snap and a new band of outcasts will face a force more terrifying -- and deadly -- than any of Africa's natural threats.
