This policy brief describes the role of Ethnic Studies curriculum in high school settings, in light of legislative efforts through AB-331 to require Ethnic Studies as a statewide high school graduation requirement.

Momentum around the institutionalization of Ethnic Studies in United States K–12 classrooms is gaining widespread attention. Given the social, cultural, and political influences surrounding racialized schooling contexts, it is pertinent to understand the impact and importance of Ethnic Studies in schools and consider what can be learned from teachers who already possess knowledge and insights developed through Ethnic Studies. While increased attention is focused on the development, implementation, and teaching of Ethnic Studies content, this dissertation examines the role of Ethnic Studies in shaping Filipino American teachers' classroom practices and pedagogies.Guided by critical race theory and portraiture, I conducted two rounds of in-depth interviews and two focus groups with seven Filipino American public school teachers working in the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles regions. Through analysis of their experience regarding how Ethnic Studies shapes their teaching, I determined that having a background in Ethnic Studies: (a) enabled critical perspectives to be woven into mainstream content; (b) affected teachers' engagement with students and communities; and (c) and shaped their teacher identities.I conclude that Ethnic Studies has the potential to transform how teachers of color are recruited, retained, and developed, legible in the narratives of Filipino American teachers working to deconstruct systems of power with frameworks learned in Ethnic Studies.

The need for the study of African language media is predicated on the opportunity to understand the practicalities of how the media can be used to support languages under threat; and, in a more academic sense, to appreciate such media for what functions it can perform in society. Apart from their study, the indigenous languages, themselves, have their own purposes. This article advocates for a formal and systematic integration of this sector of the media into Journalism and Media Studies curriculum. This advocacy is pursued with the optimism of the possibility of a theorisation of indigenous language media and the development of a framework within which such media might be considered. The field can be seen within the context of the politics of language and the media's relation to it. Alongside the issue of language survival, we can also situate the field within the praxis of cultural and political self-preservation and identity politics. The field can also be seen within the context of effective and interactive communication, and a vibrant public sphere.

This conceptual paper examines the question of the political imaginary in the neoliberal moment, and the crucial role that Ethnic Studies can play in realizing critical pedagogy's promise of emancipatory social transformation. After Arizona House Bill 2281, educational scholarship has paid renewed attention to Ethnic Studies classrooms as key sites of politically transformative praxis. Attending to recent literature that contextualizes Ethnic Studies within broader contemporary struggles against neoliberal educational reform, this analysis traces the contentious relationship between Ethnic Studies and the advancements of neoliberal multicultural ideology.This essay extends these critical dialogues by arguing for a dialectical description of the Ethnic Studies, which emphasizes its ability to stage productive confrontations between traditions in Marxist philosophy, decolonial theory, and critical race theory. The epistemological and ontological tensions that arise here, I argue, are central to reframing our understanding of consciousness raising and the formation of radical subjectivities in the present. ; Education

International audience ; Present Italian studies on Africa go beyond regional and disciplinary divides of the past. The trend is towards a positive transgression of previous boundaries, and scholars have shifted attention from the disciplinary approach to the transdisciplinaryand inter-disciplinary research. However, elements and trends of the past still influence the relationship between Berber literary studies and African literary studies in Italy. This paper offers a first reflection on the long-term relationships between Africanist studies and studies on Berber literature by taking into account conjunctures and disjunctures in the complex construction of the geographical and cultural notions of (and divide between) 'Africa' and 'North Africa'.The aim is to understand specificity and continuity of the relationship betweenBerber studies and Africanist studies in Italy when compared to international studies.Looking at the Italian studies of Berber literature, one finds a strong influence of the linguistic and philological approaches. Moreover, one recognizes the tendency of the studies to look 'East' rather than 'South' in establishing their cultural and political framework of reference. On the other hand, studies that give attention to new developments in Berber written literature spring usually from African 'post-colonial' literary studies. However, the situation is also evolving in the specific field of Italian Berber studies.

The proliferation of ethnic entrepreneurship varies not only from country to country, but also from sector to sector, from city to city, and – within cities – from neighbourhood to neighbourhood. In evaluating the interrelationship of ethnic entrepreneurship and urban governance, we discuss three specific points: ethnic variety and varieties; spatial levels in opportunities and constraints; and urban governance and institutions. In analysing the literature and positioning the four special issue articles in a spatiality‐governance framework, we identify 'roads less travelled'. Finally, we suggest scholars to move forward along five distinct pathways.

[Italiano]: L'idea e il materiale di questo libro sulla questione dell'agency negli studi africani derivano dal seminario di studi internazionale organizzato dal CeSAC (Centro Studi sull'Africa Contemporanea) dell'Università degli studi di Napoli "L'Orientale", presso la Scuola di Procida per l'Alta Formazione a ottobre 2019. Il tema è stato affrontato da diverse prospettive e approcci disciplinari agli studi africani nelle scienze umane e sociali. La prima parte del volume comprende nove capitoli basati su altrettante ricerche empiriche sul terreno nelle scienze politiche e sociali che affrontano la questione dell'agency attraverso le più svariate sfere di indagine quali migrazioni e studi urbani, pratiche religiose, lavoro informale, élite, analisi delle politiche pubbliche. La seconda parte invece consiste di sei capitoli che riguardano gli studi culturali, di genere e dei media, analizzando la versione culturalmente mediata dell'agency, che si ritrova in particolari pratiche e luoghi, così come negli interventi/azioni (auto)etnografici, teoretici e militanti. Il libro è il prodotto della collaborazione tra l'Università degli studi di Napoli "L'Orientale" (UNIOR) e la University of Johannesburg (UJ) ed è stato curato da Antonio Pezzano e Daniela Pioppi per il CeSAC-UNIOR e da Varona Sathiyah e Pier Paolo Frassinelli per il Dipartimento di Comunicazione e Media (UJ)./ [English]: The idea and material for this book on the question of agency in African studies came from an international workshop organised by the Centre for Contemporary African Studies (CeSAC), University of Naples "L'Orientale", held at the Scuola di Procida per l'Alta Formazione, in October 2019. The topic was tackled from different perspectives and approaches to African studies in the humanities and social sciences. The first part of the volume collects nine chapters based on nine empirical research in the field of social and political sciences with very diverse spheres of enquiry such as migration and urban studies, religious practices, ...
