  • Performing Thai and Indigenous Igorot American Folklore and Identities: Ethnic and Cultural Politics Revealed
    Jati, Volume 18, December 2013, pp185-205 PERFORMING THAI AND INDIGENOUS IGOROT AMERICAN FOLKLORE AND IDENTITIES: ETHNIC AND CULTURAL POLITICS REVEALED Jonathan H. X. Lee and Mark S. Leo San Francisco State University ([email protected]) Abstract In this paper, we explore the interplay of performing ethnic culture through folklore, the politics of identity formations, and subjectivities of minoritized Asian Americans and their communities. In Asian American Studies, cultural performance and its relation to identity formation have commonly been viewed as lineal, and positive phenomena, especially among the youth. As marginalized Asian Americans — Thai and indigenous Igorot American folkloric performances reveal conflicts and tensions that question the notion of Asian American pan- ethnic solidarity. These can be situated externally (i.e., inter-ethnic conflicts and tensions between two ethnic groups), as well as internally (intra-ethnic conflicts within one ethnic group).1 They demonstrate how cultural and folkloric performances can be employed as both a strategy and mechanism for ethnic and cultural hegemony (as in the case of Filipino/Filipino American misappropriation of Igorot/Igorot American folklore and performances), and as a counter narrative to the dominant Asian American narrative of exceptionalism (i.e., the Model Minority). Thai and indigenous Igorot American youths challenge hegemonic cultural groups in their quests for social justice. Thai American Buddhists perform Thai religious identity and rituals to question the misinterpretation of Thai Buddhism by non-Asian Buddhists. Indigenous Igorot Americans challenge mainstream Filipino/Filipino American cultural and narrative hegemony by acting and performing their folklore and customs in their own space as a critique of an invisible interethnic cultural and subversive domination.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between perceived racism and psychological well-being among Southeast Asian American college students. In specific, the relationships between the frequency of racism experiences and how much the racism experiences bothered the participants, and demographic factors including gender, generational status, and college grade level were investigated. A total of 201 self-identified Southeast Asian Americans were included in the final analysis. These subjects completed two instruments, the Daily Life Experience subscale that measured perceived racism and the Depression-Happiness Scale that measured both positive and negative cognitions and affect.

  • Pleasant Plains High School and Pleasant Plains Middle School Are Presently Members of the Sangamo Conference
    Pleasant Plains High School and Pleasant Plains Middle School Athletic/Extracurricular Activities Coach/Sponsor Handbook Athletic/Extracurricular Activities Handbook Introduction High School Athletic Philosophy Our athletic programs shall function under educationally oriented coaches who are properly administered, and are viewed as a means to an end and not an end in itself. The total development of the program and student athlete is conducted within the letter and spirit of all applicable rules and regulations. The explicit goal of all competitive sports is to win within the rules. However, that is by no means the only measure of success. Of greater and lasting value is the development of the individual as measured by character, competence, civility, and citizenship. At all levels of high school competition, an athlete must be prepared to make a substantial commitment which involves contests or practices six days a week, on some holidays, and during vacations. Athletes will not be expected to practice on Sunday unless the team is involved in a state series tournament and will play on the following Monday. Such a commitment demands much of the student and the student’s family. The number of participants on a team is a result of factors including available playing space and time, student skill level, number and variety of players needed to conduct an effective practice or to play effectively in a contest. In determining which and how many students will participate on a team, coaches consider both individual and group needs. Varsity play is the culmination of competition in a given sport. Junior varsity play is intended for those with potential to be varsity performers and for those whose aptitude is not yet of varsity competence.
