Interracial Encounters

Interracial Encounters

Julia H. Lee

New York University Press
2011
sidottu
2013 Honorable Mention, Asian American Studies Association's prize in Literary Studies Part of the American Literatures Initiative Series Why do black characters appear so frequently in Asian American literary works and Asian characters appear in African American literary works in the early twentieth century? Interracial Encounters attempts to answer this rather straightforward literary question, arguing that scenes depicting Black-Asian interactions, relationships, and conflicts capture the constitution of African American and Asian American identities as each group struggled to negotiate the racially exclusionary nature of American identity. In this nuanced study, Julia H. Lee argues that the diversity and ambiguity that characterize these textual moments radically undermine the popular notion that the history of Afro-Asian relations can be reduced to a monolithic, media-friendly narrative, whether of cooperation or antagonism. Drawing on works by Charles Chesnutt, Wu Tingfang, Edith and Winnifred Eaton, Nella Larsen, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Younghill Kang, Interracial Encounters foregrounds how these reciprocal representations emerged from the nation's pervasive pairing of the figure of the "Negro" and the "Asiatic" in oppositional, overlapping, or analogous relationships within a wide variety of popular, scientific, legal, and cultural discourses. Historicizing these interracial encounters within a national and global context highlights how multiple racial groups shaped the narrative of race and national identity in the early twentieth century, as well as how early twentieth century American literature emerged from that multiracial political context.

The Racial Railroad

The Racial Railroad

Julia H. Lee

NEW YORK UNIVERSITY PRESS
2022
sidottu
Reveals the legacy of the train as a critical site of race in the United States Despite the seeming supremacy of car culture in the United States, the train has long been and continues to be a potent symbol of American exceptionalism, ingenuity, and vastness. For almost two centuries, the train has served as the literal and symbolic vehicle for American national identity, manifest destiny, and imperial ambitions. It's no surprise, then, that the train continues to endure in depictions across literature, film, ad music. The Racial Railroad highlights the surprisingly central role that the railroad has played—and continues to play—in the formation and perception of racial identity and difference in the United States. Julia H. Lee argues that the train is frequently used as the setting for stories of race because it operates across multiple registers and scales of experience and meaning, both as an invocation of and a depository for all manner of social, historical, and political narratives. Lee demonstrates how, through legacies of racialized labor and disenfranchisement—from the Chinese American construction of the Transcontinental Railroad and the depictions of Native Americans in landscape and advertising, to the underground railroad and Jim Crow segregation—the train becomes one of the exemplary spaces through which American cultural works explore questions of racial subjectivity, community, and conflict. By considering the train through various lenses, The Racial Railroad tracks how racial formations and conflicts are constituted in significant and contradictory ways by the spaces in which they occur.

The first book-length work to examine the entirety of Kingston's unique literary careerMaxine Hong Kingston is known for using a distinctive blend of autobiography, fantasy, and folklore to explore the history, experience, and identity of Chinese Americans. This is exemplified in her first book, The Woman Warrior, winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for nonfiction, a best seller, and a staple on college and university syllabi. Although The Woman Warrior is by far her most celebrated book, Kingston has penned a wide range of essays, fiction, and poetry, including China Men, Tripmaster Monkey, Hawai'i One Summer, To Be a Poet, The Fifth Book of Peace, I Love a Broad Margin to My Life, and the edited volume Veterans of War, Veterans of Peace.Understanding Maxine Hong Kingston is the first book-length work to examine the entirety of Kingston’s literary career, from The Woman Warrior to her most recent volume of poetry. Julia H. Lee weaves together scholarly assessments, interviews, biographical information, and her own critical analysis to provide a complete and complex picture of Kingston’s works and its impact on memoir, feminist fiction, Asian American literature, and postmodern literature.Lee examines the influence that previous generations of Asian American authors, feminism, and antiwar activism have had on Kingston’s work. Offering important contextual information about Kingston’s life, Lee shows how it has so often served as a starting point for Kingston’s writing. She also studies Kingston’s complex attitudes toward genre and her ever-evolving identity as a novelist, essayist, memoirist, and poet. A comprehensive bibliography of critical secondary sources will be an invaluable resource for readers and critics of Kingston’s works.

Child Abuse in the Deep South

Child Abuse in the Deep South

The recognition of child abuse as a troubling social and public health problem along with the documentation required by mandatory reporting laws have made possible the epidemiological investigation of risk factors association with child abuse. Child Abuse in the Deep South is a study of physical and sexual child abuse designed to measure the incidence of child abuse and neglect in the state of Alabama, identify the characteristics of confirmed abuse, and test the hypothesis that community size is a key, predictive variable in the surveillance, reporting, and caseworker determination of abuse. Child Abuse in the Deep South is based on a comprehensive review of more than seven thousand randomly selected narrative reports from the Alabama Central Registry.A landmark finding in this study is that different combinations of cultural factors contribute to the physical and sexual abuse of black and white children in rural, small-town, and urban communities. The rates of abuse discovered and reported in small towns are revealed to be materially higher than those in rural or urbanized locations, especially for young white males, and the authors query whether this indicates higher rates of abuse or higher rates of reporting.Child Abuse in the Deep South provides a quantitative benchmark that investigators and policy-makers will find invaluable on the path to defining at-risk populations, effective interventions, and treatments.

Kommerserådinnan Anna Sinebrychoff (1830-1904) var den förmögna och kända bryggerifamiljen Sinebrychoffs ansedda matriark. Hon levde under en tid då kvinnan redan vid sidan av den traditionella modersrollen och familjeomsorgen dessutom kunde verka självständigt och initiativrikt utanför hemmet. Efter sin make Paul Sinebrychoffs död ledde Anna målmedvetet såväl sin familj som affärsföretaget, och hon lämnade ett betydande arv till sina barn. Anna Sinebrychoff var känd för sitt exceptionellt omfattande välgörenhetsarbete som var kopplat till seklets stora sociala problem: kampen mot fattigdom, främjandet av folkbildningen och stöd till nationella kulturprojekt. Familjen tillhörde den ortodoxa församlingen och stödde kyrkan med stora donationer. Mot slutet av 1800-talet blev familjen Sinebrychoff också tvungen att fundera över sitt förhållande till den ryska kulturen samt till nykterhets- och arbetarrörelsen. Bokens sju forskningsartiklar och rikliga bildmaterial öppnar nya perspektiv på Anna Sinebrychoffs liv på Bulevarden och ställer det i förhållande till Helsingfors historia under autonomin.
