  • Estonian by Recreation: Forging Ethnic Imagination Through Communal Experience in Urban, Rural and Musical Spaces
    ZfO JECES 67 ı 2018 ı 3 ı 375-396 375 Estonian by Recreation: Forging Ethnic Imagination through Communal Experience in Urban, Rural and Musical Spaces Maarja Merivoo-Parro* ZUSAMMENFASSUNG In der Freizeit zum Esten: Der Aufbau ethnischer Vorstellungskraft durch gemeinschaftliche Erfahrung im städtischen, ländlichen und musikalischen Umfeld Der Artikel befasst sich mit den gemeinschaftlichen Freizeitaktivitäten von Angehörigen des estnischen Exils im Amerika des Kalten Krieges und beruht auf dem Gedanken, dass diese Gemeinschaften bei dem Bemühen darum, dass ihnen die jungen Leute Zeit und Aufmerksamkeit widmen, nach Bereichen und Orten suchten, um gemeinsam ihr Estnisch- Sein auszuleben. Städtische Orte waren zum einen ständige Einrichtungen wie Estnische Häuser, zum anderen große Kulturveranstaltungen an wechselnden Orten wie z. B. die Est- nischen Westküsten-Tage (West Coast Estonian Days) oder das Festival ESTO mit Teil- nehmern aus aller Welt. Die ländlichen Gegenden blieben Pfadfindern und Pfadfinderin- nen vorbehalten. Obgleich sie auch größeren Zusammenschlüssen angehörten, war bei der Tätigkeit der amerikanisch-estnischen Pfadfinder eine spezielle estnische Ausrichtung spürbar. Da außerdem die Esten in den USA nicht in Enklaven, sondern über das Land ver- streut lebten, führten sie eine neuartige Form des Pfadfindertums ein, bei dem sich die ge- meinschaftliche Praxis zu einer individuellen veränderte. Während die wichtige Rolle der Chormusik im exil-estnischen Leben sowohl in kultureller als auch in politischer Hinsicht bereits nachgewiesen wurde, kann die bislang deutlich weniger erforschte Populärmusik in ähnlicher Weise dazu beitragen, die Freizeitgestaltung auf einer stärker persönlichen Ebe- ne nachzuvollziehen. Da die Esten in den USA geistigen und praktischen Zugriff auf die globale Popmusikszene hatten, liegt die Vermutung nahe, dass sie in mancherlei Hinsicht in der estnischen Musikgeschichte eine Vorreiterrolle eingenommen haben.

  • The British Surrender Their Armies to General Washington After Their Defeat at Your Town in Virginia, Octorber 1781
    Library of Congress Figure 1: The British surrender their Armies to General Washington after their defeat at Your Town in Virginia, Octorber 1781. 48 ARLINGTON 1-IISTORICA L MAGAZINE The Arlington House Engravings of the British Surrender at Yorktown: Too Often Overlooked? BY DEAN A. DEROSA In the morning room and in the second-floor hall ofArlington House, The Robert E. Lee Memorial (the US National Park Service historical site on the grounds ofArlington National Cemetery), hang two framed engravings, entitled "The British Surrendering their Arms to Gen. Washington after their Defeat at Yorktown in Virginia, October 1781." The two art pieces, first published in 1819, are drawn by John Francis Renault and engraved by Tanner, Vallance, Kearny & Co. The morning room engraving is in color, while the second floor engraving is inscribed in black ink (Figure 1). The caption at the base of the two engravings reads, "To the defenders of American independence, this print is most respectfully inscribed by their fellow citizen, Jn. Fcis. Renault, assistant secretary to the Count de Grass, and engineer to the French Army, at the siege of York." Thus, the twin engravings are drawn by a participant in the Siege of Yorktown, if not also a witness to the historic British surrender and subsequent surrender ceremony, which for all intents and purposes ended major hostilities during the American Revolution. The allegorical background of the engravings depicts not only the field upon which the British, Continental, and French armies stood during the sur­ render ceremony, but also a number of classical images and symbols of human discord, victory, and liberty, described in an 1804 prospectus apparently in reference to an early, circa 1810-1815 version of the Renault drawing (Figure 2) upon which the published engraving would eventually be based, that are largely lost upon us today.

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 431 573 RC 022 011 AUTHOR Vaipae, Sharon Siebert TITLE Handbook for Teachers of Samoan Students in Western Schools. PUB DATE 1999-03-00 NOTE 81p.; Page numbers in table of contents are incorrect. Videotape not available from EDRS. PUB TYPE Guides - Classroom Teacher (052) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC04 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Classroom Communication; *Cultural Background; *Cultural Differences; Cultural Traits; Elementary Secondary Education; English (Second Language); *Intercultural Communication; *Samoan Americans; Second Language Learning; *Socialization IDENTIFIERS Samoa ABSTRACT This handbook provides classroom teachers with information to assist them in enhancing Samoan students' social adjustment and academic achievement in U.S. schools. The information complements the 25-minute videotape, Samoa, which is designed for student viewing. The handbook provides background information on the Samoan people, their islands, and Samoan schools and discusses reasons given by Samoans for migrating to Hawaii or the mainland. A chapter examines differences in culture between middle-class European Americans and traditional Samoans. Middle-class American family structure typically consists of a nuclear family with two children, while traditional Samoan families consist of an extended family structure with an average of seven children. A chapter on intercultural communication pragmatics describes principles of Samoan communication and provides context markers in Samoan communications such as eye gaze, posture, and gesture. A chapter focusing on linguistic considerations outlines differences encountered when using the Samoan language and lists problem sounds for Samoans in oral English. Contrasts in socialization between the two cultures are discussed. Using the framework suggested by Ogbu and Matute-Bianci, Samoans may be described as displaying primary differences of cultural content as well as secondary differences of cultural style.

DESCRIPTORS Birth Rate; Census Figures; *Demography; *Educational Attainment; *Employment Level; Family Characteristics; Income; *Language Proficiency; Migr.tion Patterns; Population Growth; Poverty; *Samoan Americans; *Socioeconomic Status IDENTIFIERS California; Census 1980; Hawaii; *Samoans; Washington ABSTRACT This paper provides a broad overview of the demographic, social, and economic characteristics of Samoans in the United States, focusing particularly on the Samoan populations of Hawaii, California, and Washington, where 85% of Samoans reside. The data is derived from the "race" question on the 1980 Census and other local statistical materials. Demographically, the population is found to be highly urbanized, young (average age 19.5 years) and with a high fertility rate (averaging 4.3 children per adult woman). The total U.S. Samoan population projected for the year 2000 is most realistically estimated at 131,000. Among the three States, Hawaii's Samoans are youngest, with a higher dependency ratio and lower sex ratio than elsewhere in the United States.
