Education for Empire
Author: Clif StrattonPublisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520285662
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
"Education for Empire examines how American public schools created and placed children on multiple and uneven paths to "good citizenship." These paths offered varying kinds of subordination and degrees of exclusion closely tied to race, national origin, and US imperial ambitions. Public school administrators, teachers, and textbook authors grappled with how to promote and share in the potential benefits of commercial and territorial expansion, and in both territories and states, how to apply colonial forms of governance to the young populations they professed to prepare for varying future citizenships. The book brings together subjects in American history usually treated separately--in particular the formation and expansion of public schools and empire building both at home and abroad. Temporally framed by the 1882 Chinese Exclusion and 1924 National Origins Acts, two pivotal immigration laws deeply entangled in and telling of US quests for empire, case studies in California, Hawaii, Georgia, New York, the Southwest, and Puerto Rico reveal that marginalized people contested, resisted, and blazed alternative paths to citizenship, in effect destabilizing the boundaries that white nationalists, including many public school officials, in the United States and other self-described "white men's countries" worked so hard to create and maintain"--Provided by publisher.
Latin America in Caricature

Pages : 341
Book Description
“Not many readers will thank the author as he deserves, for he has told us more about ourselves than we perhaps wish to know,” predicted Latin America in Books of Latin America in Caricature—an exploration of more than one hundred years of hemispheric relations through political cartoons collected from leading U.S. periodicals from the 1860s through 1980. The cartoons are grouped according to recurring themes in diplomacy and complementing visual imagery. Each one is accompanied by a lengthy explanation of the incident portrayed, relating the drawing to public opinion of the day. Johnson’s thoughtful introduction and the comments that precede the individual chapters provide essential background for understanding U.S. attitudes and policies toward Latin America.
The Racial Problems Involved in Immigration from Latin America and the West Indies to the United States

Book Description
In that part of continental America lying south of the United States or in islands adjacent thereto live some 90,000,000 people, nearly as many people as live in the United States. All the countries where these people live are customarily regarded as lands of immigration, like the United States itself. Even in Europe there are countries whose immigrants from still other countries compare in numbers closely with their emigrants, and nearly every country, not excepting the United States, is subject to extensive internal migration-the migration from one part of the same country to another. The existence or nonexistence of a political boundary is not ordinarily a primary consideration in determining currents of migration. It is the recent rapidly rising tide of immigration into the United States from the southern lands of this hemisphere that has forced upon the attention of the people of the United States a new problem. Inquiry must be made whether this immigration can be regarded as the forerunner of a larger immigration, and also whether the new additions to the race stock of the United States can be regarded as beneficial or as detrimental, and what main lines of policy should be laid down for dealing with this immigration.

Ethnic Labels, Latino Lives
Author: Suzanne ObolerPublisher: U of Minnesota Press
ISBN: 9780816622863
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
Hispanic or Latino? Mexican American or Chicano? Social labels often take on a life of their own beyond the control of those who coin them or to whom they are applied. In "Ethnic Labels, Latino Lives" Suzanne Oboler explores the history and current use of the label "Hispanic", as she illustrates the complex meanings that ethnicity has acquired in shaping our lives and identities. Exploding the myth of cultural and national homogeneity among Latin Americans, Oboler interviews members of diverse groups who have traditionally been labelled "Hispanic", and records the many different meanings and social values which they attribute to this label. She also discusses the historical process of labelling groups of individuals and shows how labels affect the meaning of citizenship and the struggle for full social participation in the United States. Ultimately, she rejects the labelling process altogether, having illustrated how labels can obstruct social justice, and vary widely in meaning from individual to individual. Though we have witnessed in recent years the fading of the idealized image of US society as a melting pot, we have also realized that the possibility of recasting it in multicultural terms is problematic. "Ethnic Labels, Latino Lives" aims to understand the role that ethnic labels play in our society and brings us closer towards actualizing a society which values cultural diversity.
