  • Untouchability Today: the Rise of Dalit Activism by Christine Hart
    HUMAN RIGHTS & HUMAN WELFARE Untouchability Today: The Rise of Dalit Activism By Christine Hart On July 19, 2010, the Hindustan Times reported that a Dalit (“untouchable”) woman was gang- raped and murdered in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. The crime was an act of revenge perpetrated by members of the Sharma family, incensed over the recent elopement of their daughter with a man from the lower-caste Singh family. Seeking retributive justice for the disgrace of the marriage, men from the Sharma family targeted a Dalit woman who, with her husband, worked in the Singh family fields. Her death was the result of her sub-caste status; while the crime cost the Singh family a valuable worker, the perceived value of her life was less than upper-caste individuals. In this case, the perpetrators of the crime were arrested, but similar atrocities are committed with frequency and impunity throughout India as a result of the entrenched practice of untouchability. Overview of Untouchability Caste discrimination, manifested through an array of “untouchability practices,” is an entrenched part of daily life in India. This “hidden apartheid” impacts more than 160 million Dalits —the victims, survivors, and challengers of the practice, as well as approximately 860 million non- Dalits—the perpetrators, bystanders, and witnesses. Despite domestic policy measures and increased attention to the issue, the practice of untouchability remains ingrained and touches nearly every aspect of Dalit life. Untouchability practices range from actions that impact the minutiae of daily life, to life-altering inequity and denials of opportunity, to violence committed with impunity.

  • Few People Realize the Extent to Which Japanese People Have Interacted with and Been Influenced by African Americans and Their History
    positions Beyond an Alliance of Color: The African American Impact on Modern Japan Yukiko Koshiro Few people realize the extent to which Japanese people have interacted with and been influenced by African Americans and their history. Japanese high school students today at least read excerpts from original works by Booker T. Washington, Langston Hughes, Richard Wright, Martin Luther King Jr., and Marian Anderson in Ministry of Education–approved Eng- lish textbooks.1 Yet no Japanese history book pays homage to those African Americans who have played a substantial role in U.S.-Japanese relations since their earliest phase: Pyrrus Concer, a former slave who came to Japan before Commodore Perry;2 Carrie Wilson, the daughter of a former slave from Missouri, who married Masumizu Kuninosuke, an early Japanese set- tler in the famed Wakamatsu Colony in Sacramento, California, together with whom she heralded a history of Japanese immigrants of African Amer- ican heritage;3 or the Philadelphia Royal Giants of the Negro League who positions 11:1 © 2003 by Duke University Press Published by Duke University Press positions positions 11:1 Spring 2003 184 visited Japan in 1927, four years earlier than the (all-white) All Star Ameri- can Major League baseball team.4 Ever since the American media played up derogatory remarks on African Americans by Japan’s Liberal Democratic Party politicians in the 1980s, the public seems to refuse to think any further, but take it for granted that all Japanese are racists who avoid contacts with African American people. It is time to bring to light long-ignored Japanese readings of African American history, literature, and struggle and investigate why the story of Japanese interactions with African Americans has been muted rather than celebrated.5 There are some reasons for the silence.

  • The Political Significance of Slave Resistance by James Oakes
    Downloaded from http://hwj.oxfordjournals.org/ The Political Significance of Slave Resistance by James Oakes When W.E.B. DuBois wrote that it was 'the black worker. who brought at University of Iowa Libraries/Serials Acquisitions on May 31, 2015 civil war in America,' historians had yet to undertake the extraordinary studies of slavery that would eventually transform our understanding of all American history. Since then, scholars have discovered among the slaves a pattern of 'day-to-day resistance' which promises to give meaning and substance to DuBois's characterically astute observation. Slaves engaged in a variety of acts designed to ease their burdens and frustrate the masters' wills. They broke tools, feigned illness, deliberately malingered, 'stole' food, and manipulated the tensions between master and overseer. When pressed, the slaves took up more active forms of resistance: they became 'saucy', ran away, struck the overseer or even the master, and on rare occasions committed arson or joined in organized rebellions. And throughout the slave community a tradition of solidarity sustained and justified individual and collective acts of resistance.1 What has yet to be demonstrated is the political significance of slave resistance, and there are several reasons for this. Despite the methodo- logical and theoretical sophistication of the field, the ways in which social tensions were translated into political issues are still not well understood. Indeed, few historians have even attempted to trace the connections between everyday resistance and politics. Many scholars remain fixated on an artificial separation of morality from expediency in political analysis, as if 'morality' itself were not grounded in specific historical circumstances.

  • Living on the Edge: Buraku in Kyoto, Japan
    Nataša Visočnik: Living on the edge: Buraku in Kyoto, Japan Living on the edge: Buraku in Kyoto,- Japan Nata{a Viso~nik University of Ljubljana, [email protected] Abstract This article deals with the two districts in the southeast of the Kyōto city, which are known to have been settled by people who are marginalised for various reasons. The research is based on a short fieldwork focuses on two main groups living in the Kyōto buraku and near it: burakumin (eta people) and zainichi Koreans. It also presents their ways of living as marginal communities and the ways they cope with discrimination. The article also considers in greater detail the developments within the life in buraku, focusing particularly on the critical role of machi-zukuri in liberation movements over the course of the 20th to the 21st century. KEYWORDS: marginality, buraku, burakumin (eta people), zainichi Koreans, machi- zukuri Introduction As we move into the 21st century, we might ponder the pithy and insightful epigram by Talleyrand, who asserted that the more things changed, the more they remained the same (in Dennis 2005), which means that despite the ideological and social structural tendencies of the evolving 21st century, where many of the inequities against the weak would weaken or disappear, not much has changed since previous centuries. In this fractured world, many remain unprotected or semi-protected: members of oppressed ethnic groups, women, the young, the old, the impoverished, the lower castes, outcastes or members of suppressed religions, and those who are otherwise persecuted. Marginalised communities face problems all over the world, including in Japan.

Within the repertoire of humanitarian concern, refugee now constitutes one of the most powerful labels. From the first procedure of status determination – who is a refugee? – to the structural determinants of life chances which this identity then engenders, labels infuse the world of refugees. Roger Zetter1 In his provocatively entitled book, Women, Fire and Dangerous Things, Lakoff observes that “categorization is not a matter to be taken lightly”.2 We used to think of categories as unproblematic, “abstract containers with things either inside or outside the category”.3 Now we realise that this is far from the case, and the categorisation of concepts that are at once descriptive, normative and political would appear near impossible. The refugee ‘problem’ is, first and foremost, one of categorisation, of making distinctions. None of the discussions in the field – among politicians, policy workers or academics – can proceed without an idea of who exactly we are talking about when we use the label ‘refugee’. We employ the term ‘refugee’ freely and ‘refugeehood’ seems

  • TEACHERS' BELIEFS ABOUT GRADE RETENTION by Ellen
    TEACHERS' BELIEFS ABOUT GRADE RETENTION by Ellen Menaker Tomchin Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in Educational Research and Evaluation APPROVED: 7 Jckes C. Imp=;r~,\ Chair \ , , . , ·J~net K .. lawyers Lee M. Wolfle( March 1989 Blacksburg, Virginia TEACHERS' BELIEFS ABOUT GRADE RETENTION by Ellen Menaker Tomchin Committee Chair: James C. Impara Educational Research and Evaluation (ABSTRACT) A multimethod approach was used to gain a better understanding of teachers' beliefs about retention in grades K-7. The participants in this study were the 135 classroom and specialty teachers in one school division (with six elementary schools, K-7). Two survey instruments were developed: (a) the Teacher Retention Belief Questionnaire designed to obtain teachers' explicit beliefs about retention, and (b) the Retention Decision Simulation designed to indicate the influence of .academic performance, social maturity, ability, gender, size and age on the decision to retain students. Interviews. were conducted with 36 classroom teachers representing a cross s~ction of grade levels and retention practices to discover how teachers make retention decisions. Findings suggest that teachers at all grade levels believe retention is an acceptable school practice and one they reserve the right to use. They believe retention prevents students from facing failure in the next higher grade. Teachers at all grade levels share common beliefs about the benefits for students retained in grades K-3, but are less certain about the positive effects of retaining students in grades 4-7. Academic performance of the student is a key factor in determining whether a student will be promoted, but a number of other factors including maturity, ability, age, size, and effort, also influence teachers' decisions.
