The Routledge Handbook of Modern Economic History aims to introduce readers to important approaches and findings of economic historians who study the modern world. Its short chapters reflect the most up-to-date research and are written by well-known economic historians who are authorities on their subjects. Modern economic history blends two approaches – Cliometrics (which focuses on measuring economic variables and explicitly testing theories about the historical performance and development of the economy) and the New Institutional Economics (which focuses on how social, cultural, legal and organizational norms and rules shape economic outcomes and their evolution). Part 1 of the Handbook introduces these approaches and other important methodological issues for economic history. The most fundamental shift in the economic history of the world began about two and a half centuries ago when eons of slow economic change and faltering economic growth gave way to sustained, rapid economic expansion. Part 2 examines this theme and the primary forces economic historians have linked to economic growth, stagnation and fluctuations – including technological change, entrepreneurship, competition, the biological environment, war, financial panics and business cycles. Part 3 examines the evolution of broad sectors that typify a modern economy including agriculture, banking, transportation, health care, housing, and entertainment. It begins by examining an equally important "sector" of the economy which scholars have increasingly analyzed using economic tools – religion. Part 4 focuses on the work force and human outcomes including inequality, labor markets, unions, education, immigration, slavery, urbanization, and the evolving economic roles of women and African-Americans. The text will be of great value to those taking economic history courses as well

Orb and Sceptre brings together recent cutting-edge work on British imperialism by Australian researchers closely associated with Norman Etherington, one of Australia's most eminent scholars in this field. Orb and Sceptre reflects the trajectory of British Empire history in the academy over the last forty years. Demands for new nationalist histories for decolonised territories have combined with renewed attention to the role of the periphery in the making and unmaking of empires. This has formed an explosive mix that has blown apart traditional conceptions of Empire and Commonwealth history. The colonial construction of knowledge is a principal theme in Orb and Sceptre. Former colonies and dependencies looked to a fresh generation of historians to write their histories, generally conceived as grand narratives of escape from imperial shackles. At the same time, a new wave of scholars influenced by feminism, neo-Marxism, dependency theory and postcolonialism laid the groundwork for a renaissance in Empire and Commonwealth history. These historians have been rediscovering the links that continue to connect former colonies to their imperial pasts. This book offers: - A showcase of new studies in British Imperialism by Australian and international scholars, highlighting cutting-edge approaches and areas of interest from cultural studies to biography and landscape studies, as well as traditional areas such as political history, immigration, and military history; - Exciting new research on Australian, Asian and African history; and - A bibliography of the works of Norman Etherington. The book is enlivened by a wide range of illustrative material, including photos, drawings and maps. Orb and Sceptre is a festschrift in honour of Norman Etherington, one of Australia's most eminent scholars of imperialism.

we want to focus on the alarming question of the assaults to Ceuta and Melilla's fences, that occurred with a heightened frequency and strength during October 2005. They could be identified in the migratory asset, in a bigger movement of people without possibilities that cross the African continent, leaving their home in the hope of finding a better future in Europe. We want to show the actual situation as slow and misunderstood, as is the solution proposed for Spain: the militarization of border control (temporary?) and increasing the height of the fence from 3 to 6 meters where necessary, apart from the building of a third fence. These assaults demonstrate how the problem of immigration is not of each state on their own, but rather of the EU in general, as the adoption of Schengen Agreements allowed for free movements between member states. The solutions that are being proposed show more and more how the interests of the EU lay in strenghtening border control, with military forces if necessary, and in the politics of readmission with origin countries. We want to question the interaction of these migratory flows with the fences: of course the long way to reach Europe has many stops, dangers to avoid and ways to be walked, but it is in the arrival to the frontier with the EU we want to focus on. The fence is a permeable membrane according to the genre of flows it has to filter, but in the case of migratory ones it becomes a dense wall. We could say it generates an opposite vector force against the natural flow of migrants, whose only chance is to settle nearby while attempting to cross.

Challenges conservative & progressive perspectives on the implications of demographic changes brought on by Latin American & Asian immigration to the US, focusing on Mexican immigrants. Whiteness in the US is seen as a form of elitist cultural capital, & the notion of "raceclass" is offered as a lens through which to understand majority white objections to Mexican Americans. Hegemonic forms of whiteness in the US are delineated before addressing those raceclass factors that contribute to white evaluations of Mexican Americans: given & surnames, command of English, phenotype, height, religion, social class, & ethnic & racial identity. Next, six terms of Mexican-origin self-reference are examined to shed light on the degree of social distance that Mexican Americans place between themselves & majority whites: the national terms of Mexicano, Mexican, Chicano, & Mexican American, & the pannational terms of Latino & Hispanic. It is then noted that the social distance between Mexican & African Americans remains large, with data from the 1990 Latino Political survey revealing Mexican Americans show the most warmth toward whites & the least toward blacks. The wide Mexican-black social distance may be attributable to the former's immigrant status, ie, per Lucie Cheng & Yen Le Espiritu's (1989) immigrant hypothesis. Nativity & educational attainment play a role in warmer Mexican American attitudes toward blacks. Because racial & ethnic categories are not fixed & stable, it is unlikely that neither conservative nor progressive views on immigrant-related demographic change will come to pass. Instead, suggesting that the Mexican-origin population cannot be viewed as a monolithic entity, a three-way split of whites, blacks, & browns is predicted with Mexican Americans identifying as white or brown, portending a number of alternatives for future race relations. 2 Tables, 3 Figures.

Why have American policies failed to reduce the racial inequalities still pervasive throughout the nation? Has President Barack Obama defined new political approaches to race that might spur unity and progress? This book examines the enduring divisions of American racial politics and how these conflicts have been shaped by distinct political alliances and their competing race policies. Combining historical knowledge with a detailed exploration of such issues as housing, employment, criminal justice, multiracial census categories, immigration, voting in majority-minority districts, and school vouchers, the authors assess the significance of President Obama's election to the White House and the prospects for achieving constructive racial policies for America's future. Offering a fresh perspective on the networks of governing institutions, political groups, and political actors that influence the structure of American racial politics, they identify three distinct periods of opposing racial policy coalitions in American history. The authors investigate how today's alliances pit color-blind and race-conscious approaches against one another, contributing to political polarization and distorted policymaking. Contending that President Obama has so far inadequately confronted partisan divisions over race, the authors call for all sides to recognize the need for a balance of policy measures if America is to ever cease being a nation divided. Presenting an account of American political alliances and their contending racial agendas, this book sheds light on a policy path vital to the country's future

In spite of South Africa's progressive constitution, citizen's intolerance of non-citizens, refugees and economic migrants has escalated in recent years. What is more, xenophobic attacks are covered in the public discourse as mere episodes of crisis and often rather fuel rhetoric of national machismo than leading to an acknowledgement of the stories and experiences of people seeking refuge and being exposed to hostility on an everyday basis. This ethnography engages with the strategies employed by a group of refugee men from different African countries in surviving and stabilising their existence in the 'mother city' Cape Town in the face of precarity. It grapples with questions of how the men manage to bring about certainty in the face of unpredictability and extends its focus to the men's dreams and the modes by which these are sought to be achieved. It thereby highlights the ways in which objectifications as refugees and less-than-human are somewhat transcended by navigating spaces with care, purpose and imagination

"Most scholarship on the mass migrations of African Americans and southern whites during and after the Great Depression treats those migrations as separate phenomena, strictly divided along racial lines. In this engaging interdisciplinary work, Erin Royston Battat argues instead that we should understand these Depression-era migrations as interconnected responses to the capitalist collapse and political upheavals of the early twentieth century. During the 1930s and 1940s, Battat shows, writers and artists of both races created migration stories specifically to bolster the black-white Left alliance. Defying rigid critical categories, Battat considers a wide variety of media, including literary classics by John Steinbeck and Ann Petry, "lost" novels by Sanora Babb and William Attaway, hobo novellas, images of migrant women by Dorothea Lange and Elizabeth Catlett, popular songs, and histories and ethnographies of migrant shipyard workers. This vibrant rereading and recovering of the period's literary and visual culture expands our understanding of the migration narrative by uniting the political and aesthetic goals of the black and white literary Left and illuminating the striking interrelationship between American populism and civil rights."--

This report discusses selected issues regarding accountability in public services. The introduction discusses the accountability framework that will be used for the report. Chapter 1 assesses South Africa's progress on service access and quality, and summarizes recent policy initiatives. Chapters 2, 3, and 4 describe the international and South African experience with mechanisms that seek to improve accountability - public sector reform, citizen report cards, and others - and posits hypotheses to be explored in the following chapters. Chapter 5 applies the World Bank's accountability framework to a participatory assessment of services in six municipalities in South Africa. Chapters 6 and 7 apply the framework to the education and water and sanitation sectors. Chapter 8 explains why community-driven development does not factor in any main South African development programs. Chapter 9 explains the continuing learning practices pioneered in the manufacturing sector and addresses how these practices might be used by the South African government to effect change. Chapter 10 summarizes the conclusions, translates these into main hypotheses to be tested in future work, and formulates a number of policy recommendations for public debate.

"The most critical dimension of desegregation in our region is found in the attitudes of members of the dominant white communities. Melvin Tumin, a sociology professor at Princeton University, and eleven associates ... have done a first-rate job mapping this vital dimension in an opinion study of citizens of Guilford County, North Carolina ... the best effort yet to plumb citizens' attitudes on this agonizing modern problem."--Reading Guide, Law Library of University of Virginia.

Author's introductionMost research on race and ethnicity focuses on discrimination patterns against entire groups, such as African Americans, Latina/os, Asian Americans, or American Indians. The study of colorism is unique because it investigates intraracial hierarchies of skin color. Studies of colorism examine how the actual lightness or darkness of a person's skin tone affects his or her life opportunities such as education, income, and housing. This is a crucial line of inquiry because a significant amount of race/color discrimination lies hidden within communities of color. Investigating colorism also exposes centuries‐old colonial ideologies that valorize white culture and white beauty. Many recent studies of skin tone stratification focus on both the historical and contemporary factors that maintain a light‐skinned elite in communities of color. Ultimately, colorism research enables a deeper understanding of systemic racism around the world.Author recommendsRussell, Kathy, Midge Wilson, and Ronald Hall 1992. The Color Complex. New York, NY: Doubleday.This book was groundbreaking in that it was one of the first popular books on the topic of colorism. Focused primarily on African Americans, the authors provide a journalistic account of the manifestations of colorism and the sociological, historical, and psychological causes of it. This book is a great overview of colorism in the African American community.Rondilla, Joanne and Paul Spickard 2007. Is Lighter Better? Lanham, MD: Rowman & Littlefield.Rondilla and Spickard have written the first book on colorism in the Asian American community. This book is broad and thorough covering topics such as color and identity, mother–daughter relationships and the color/beauty nexus, and the global sales of skin‐bleaching products. The book is empirical, historical, and theoretical.Hunter, Margaret 2005. Race, Gender, and the Politics of Skin Tone. New York, NY: Routledge.Hunter creates a persuasive argument that skin color discrimination is alive and well in the USA. She pays particular attention to the African American and Mexican American communities in her studies that cover income disparities, educational gaps, marriage market politics, and cosmetic surgery. The book uses both statistics and interviews with women of color as evidence for its claims.Herring, Cedric, Verna M. Keith, and Hayward Derrick Horton (Eds.) 2004. Skin/Deep: How Race and Complexion Matter in the 'Color‐Blind' Era. Urbana, IL: University of Illinois Press.This edited volume covers a broad range of topics, including the biracial baby boom, the 'neo‐mulatto' elite, the Latin Americanization thesis of racial formation, and the persistent role of colorism in African American communities. The contributors are primarily sociologists arguing that the form of racism and racial discrimination is changing in the new post‐Civil Rights era.Allen, Walter, Edward Telles, and Margaret Hunter 2000. 'Skin Color, Income, and Education: A Comparison of African Americans and Mexican Americans.'National Journal of Sociology 12: 129–80.The authors present a thorough analysis of the structural and social–psychological factors that affect colorism in the African American and Mexican American communities. Using two national survey data sets, Allen, Telles, and Hunter suggest that colorism is an ongoing phenomenon in both groups providing the light skinned with significant advantages in income and educational attainment.Brunsma, David L. and Kerry A. Rockquemore 2001. 'The New Color Complex: Appearances and Biracial Identity.' Identity 1: 225–46.This article takes up the important issue of biracial identity and its relationship to physical appearance. Moving away from a more traditional stratification model, the authors ask what it means to be darker or lighter as a mixed‐race person, and how one's physical appearance affects his or her racial self‐identification.Mire, Amina 2001. 'Skin‐Bleaching: Poison, Beauty, Power, and the Politics of the Colour Line.'Resources for Feminist Research 28 (3–4): 13–38.In this lengthy and rigorous article, Mire suggests that the postcolonial, global phenomenon of skin‐bleaching has strong and deep roots in the European colonial experience. She uses a feminist lens to understand why women's bodies are often the site of poisonous skin‐bleaching creams and how the interlocking systems of racism and patriarchy work together to oppress women in postcolonial nations around the world.Online materials'Color Coding and Bias in Hollywood'This video excerpt features Henry Louis Gates informally interviewing a group of African American women actors.

With racial inequality as an enduring part of the American landscape, it is important that we all learn as much as we can about racial and ethnic issues. In this course, we will learn about many different aspects of racial and ethnic studies, including segregation, separatism, assimilation, immigration, and multiracial identity. We will discuss many different racial and ethnic groups in this course and we will focus on Latinos, Asian Americans, whites, African Americans, and American Indians.Week 1: Definitions of raceF.

Eduardo Bonilla‐Silva suggests that the racial hierarchy in the USA is increasingly resembling that of Latin America, with whites at the top, light‐skinned and mixed‐race people in the middle, and darker‐skinned people of color at the bottom. What evidence is there for and against this position?
What are the challenges for scholars who are researching 'across the color line' or researching 'across the skin tone line?'
Describe some aspects of US culture that perpetuate the valorization of whiteness? Are there any trends or movements that resist definitions of white beauty?
Eight‐five percent of cosmetic surgery in the USA is done on women's bodies. What does this tell us about how US culture views women's bodies?
Describe three strategies for combating colorism within communities of color and in the larger US context. What kind of attitudinal and structural changes must take place for significant changes to occur?

Project ideaConduct your own content analysis. Choose 10 magazines geared toward African Americans (or another community of color). Analyze the advertisements in each magazine by counting the number of images of light‐, medium‐, and dark‐skinned people featured in the advertisements. Also pay attention to the types of advertisements that people of different skin tones appear in (for example, beauty advertisements, travel advertisements, or advertisements for household products). By counting and categorizing in this way, you should find some interesting patterns that reveal deeper ideological meanings about skin tone and status in our society.

BHIVA guidelines recommend that all ARV‐naïve and stable on‐treatment patients are monitored at least 6 monthly [1]. Studies have shown that loss to follow up (LFU) not only worsens outcomes [2] but has increased potential for onward transmission. Case notes of 1275 HIV patients registered under our care up to January 2011 were examined for attendance within the previous 6 months. 788 (61%) patients had not been seen within the previous 6 months. Reasons for non attendance were identified. These are outlined below:







Patient group
Number




Deceased
61


Transferred care to another HIV clinic
455


Moved out of the UK
54


Lost to follow up ‐ no means to contact
130


Lost to follow up ‐ eligible for recall
88




76% of the 130 LFU whose demographics were further examined were of Black African ethnicity, 54% female, 51% of single marital status and 48% of patients had been taking ARVs at the time of LFU. Interestingly, 53% of patients were lost to follow up within 1 year of diagnosis. The LFU patients (88) that had a local GP and a registered current address were sent recall letters. A small number of patients reengaged with care as a result of this action, some having not attended for over 5 years. Partner notification led to a number of new diagnoses in these cases. Failure to respond led to subsequent letters inviting them to clinic and finally a letter to their GP informing them of non attendance. In September 2011, a new recall system using Lillie Electronic Patient Records (EPR) was introduced to promptly recognise if a patient had not attended for care as planned. Prior to this, recall was a manual process carried out by the Health Advising Team. We conclude that within our cohort we had a particularly mobile group of patients; 455 (36%) transferring care to another clinic within the UK, 54 (4%) moving out of UK. 76% of the LFU group being of Black African ethnicity highlights the ongoing problem of retention of care in this group. Further exploration is needed to identify additional issues besides housing and immigration that lead to LFU. Furthermore, the disportionate number of patients (53%) disengaging with services within 1 year of diagnosis should encourage HIV services to provide additional support within this time period to reduce LFU. This study highlights the need for robust recall systems within clinics to identify those individuals not engaging with services or not attending for routine monitoring. These may be easier to implement with the increasing use of EPR. An audit of the recall system is planned in September 2012 to re‐examine loss to follow up rates after its implementation.

Aufbauend auf den theoretischen Ausführungen zur Migrationsliteratur in Italien werden in der vorliegenden Diplomarbeit vier Werke afroitalienischer Schriftsteller untersucht. Die Autoren von 'Immigrato', 'Io venditore di elefanti. Una vita per forza fra Dakar, Parigi e Milano' und 'La promessa di Hamadi' erzählen in ihren Erstlingsromanen - allesamt autobiographische Werke, verfasst gemeinsam mit einem Koautor - ihre Erfahrungen und Eindrücke beim Aufeinandertreffen mit der fremden Kultur. Sie können als Pioniere der 'letteratura italiana della migrazione' angesehen werden, deren Ziel es war, die Aufmerksamkeit der italienischen Bevölkerung auf das Thema der Migration zu lenken. Der Autor von 'I bambini delle rose' stellt in dieser Arbeit einen Sonderfall dar, da er auf Grund seiner sprachlichen Eigenständigkeit und der Distanz von der Testimonienliteratur bereits zur zweiten Generation der MigrationsschriftstellerInnen zu zählen ist. Er legt mit seinem Kurzroman einen etwas komplexeren Text vor, worin Themen der Multikulturalität aufgegriffen werden und somit in das Gebiet des 'post-colonial' fallen. Charakteristisch für alle Texte ist, dass die Handlungen aller untersuchten Werke vorwiegend in den Großstädten Italiens angesiedelt sind, die von den Autoren als interkulturelle sowie multikulturelle Orte, geprägt von illegalen Machenschaften, identifiziert werden. Die Autoren zeigen landesweite Probleme im Umgang mit MigrantInnen auf und kritisieren den italienischen Staatsapparat. Die Werkanalyse soll zum Vorschein bringen, wie die einzelnen Autoren die Themenstellungen der Migrationsliteratur aufarbeiten, wobei die Schwerpunkte auf der Darstellung des Protagonisten und seiner Identität, der Fremdheitswahrnehmungen sowie der kulturellen Differenzerfahrungen liegen, die im Zuge der Einwanderung für die Individuen äußerst prägend sind. ; Based on the theoretic fundament of Italian migrant literature, our thesis analyses four works of Italian authors of African origin. ?Immigrato?, ?Io venditore di elfenati. Una vita per forza fra Dakar, Parigi e Milano? and ?La promessa di Hamadi? are all 'debut novels' telling autobiographical stories that show the experiences and impressions of the authors and co-authors while immerging in a new, foreign culture. The writers of these books can be seen as pioneers of the ?letteratura italiana della migrazione?, whose aim was to draw the attention of the Italian population on the topic of immigration. The author of ?I bambini delle rose? is an exception in this thesis, because his originality in language and distance to the testimonial literature is already part of the second generation of authors engaging in migrant literature. With his short novel, he provides a more complex text that is not only illustrating the cultural shock, but is also dealing with issues of multiculturalism. Therefore it constitutes part of the ?postcolonial? era. Distinctive for all analysed books is that the plot is mainly located in larger towns in Italy, which have been identified by the writers as intercultural and multicultural places and are affected by illegal intrigues. The authors point out national problems in dealing with immigrants and criticise the Italian politics as well as its federal administration. This analysis of literary texts shows how every single author is editing the different subjects of migration literature. In doing so, the main focus of the authors lies on the illustration of its protagonists and their identities, the perceptions of the 'foreign other' as well as the experiences with cultural differences, which in the course of immigration have had a great impact on the individuals. ; vorgelegt von Petra Margit Kager-Paier ; Abweichender Titel laut Übersetzung der Verfasserin/des Verfassers ; Zsfassung in dt. und engl.
