Though born in the United States, Anne Douglas Sedgwick moved to England at the age of 9 and lived there for the rest of her life. Reflecting her own upbringing spanning the New World and the Old World, Sedgwick often concocted plots that juxtaposed these two cultures. In Adrienne Toner, an American girl finds herself navigating the unfamiliar territory of English society

Language, itself, as a source of communication, can also be a form of establishing an identity and setting barriers to communication. This article presents one example of such barriers in a major national language; that of the Vietnamese. The Vietnamese language is one of the markers of identity that Vietnamese often claim as the distinguishing feature of their culture, particularly its use of tone. As an assimilative culture changing rapidly with absorption into the global, urban economy, the Vietnamese language is now one of the only fixed identity markers of the Vietnamese. This may be why the Vietnamese now seek to establish it as a symbol and a barrier. This piece, by an American anthropologist, critically examines the Vietnamese perception of their language and its role among other identity markers in creating boundaries between Vietnamese and outsiders.

In The Soundscape R. Murray Schafer describes a tone of 'prime unity,' a tonal centre conditioning an international sonic unconscious. Diverging from the bucolic image of nature readily associated with Schafer's ethics and aesthetics this tone is found in the ubiquitous hum of electrical infrastructure and appliances. A utopian potential is ascribed to this tone in Schafer's writing whereby it constitutes the conditions for a unified international acoustic community of listening subjects. This essay outlines Schafer's anomalous concept of the tone of prime unity and interrogates the contradictions it introduces into Schafer's project of utopian soundscape design. Discussion of the correspondence between Schafer and Marshall McLuhan contextualises and identifies the source of Schafer's concept of the tone of prime unity. Of particular interest is the processes of unconscious auditory influence this concept entails and its problematic relation to the politics of sonic warfare. Through discussion of contemporary artistic practices that engage with these problems, it is argued that the tone of prime unity nonetheless presents an opportunity to shift the focus of Schafer's project from a telos of divine harmony towards collective self-determination through participatory intervention in the world around us.

ObjectiveWe test one untested influence on whether Hispanics will assimilate into American society in a "straight line" or remain "segmented." The type of assimilation hinges on both how non‐Hispanics treat Hispanics and whether Hispanics desire assimilation. We argue that these behaviors depend on the social construction of Hispanics' identity, which in turn may depend in part on their skin tone.MethodsWe compare these two theoretical competing models in two ways. First, to a nationally representative sample, we randomly assign four images of Hispanic males who are two standard deviations apart in skin tone and gauge respondents' social acceptance of them. Second, using objective skin‐tone measures from the 2012 ANES oversample of Hispanics, we determine if skin tone correlates with beliefs over assimilation.ResultsFor the experimental evidence, we discover that whites and blacks do not discriminate across this range of skin tone for Hispanics. For the ANES data, we find no evidence that skin tone affects Hispanics willingness to assimilate into America.ConclusionThus, the typical skin tones of Hispanics do not affect the assimilation ideas of either non‐Hispanics or Hispanics.
