INSTITUTE FOR MINORITY STUDIES 1976 UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN LA CROSSE Volume 2 3 11 1 as PREFACE . The second volume of Proceedings from the Annual Conference on Minority Studies departs from the past precedent in the sense that its structure is not limited to a given topic,The present volume, more'in keeping with the objectives of the National Association of Interdiscipli- nary Studies for Native-American, Black, Chicano, Puerto Rican, and Asian Americans, examines interdisciplinary prespectives grouped by academic areas or points of view on a variety of minority issues. Thus the opening two essays are general overviews by two recognized authorities, one deal - sing with black literature and the other with minority conflict inter- nationally. Part II contains papers that focus on a variety of contempo- rary minority issues ganging from affirmative action to economics to Medical care for migrants. Parts III and IV then examine literary and historical perspectives on questions involving ald of the major racial minorities. In future volumes, the editors plan to follow this same gen- eral format as a Supplement to the theme volume which emerges each year. Conference participants will thus have an opportunity to publish their, essay's regardless of their relationship to,any highlight theme. 1The editors are indebted to the administration at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse for their on-going support for a continuing series of conferences. Chancellor Kenneth Lindner deserves a special note of thanks for his dedication to the activities of the Institute for Minority Stud- , ies. The editors are also indebted to several individuals for their - devoted efforts in getting the manuscript together under hectic circum- stafices:__ Ms. Pat Temp for typing the manuscript, and Ms. Brenda Dunn, Ms. Chris_Lieth0, Ms. Ave Parker, and Ms. Mary Kay Vincent for their proofreading. There were many others who made a contribution, but the list is too large to present here; however, each of them deserve a special word of 'appreciation. Last, byt not least, the contributors, for their interest in the conference and. their patience before seeing any rewards from their efforts. GEORGE E. CARTER 4 4 4 V CONTENTS PREFACE' qty .

By race or sex, by. religion or class, by many arbitrary definitions that overlook the common characteristics of humanitywe define and. categorize each other, at,tach=' ing labels and stereotypes to rationalize our dominant positions over others. Deprived of their dignity, if not their very-existence, those who., have struggled against the fist of their oppressors have at least realized theif self-respect and have regained their sense of purpose. The dnited, States,is but a microcosm of such struggled. It is proper that the nation, on the eve of celebrating itt devotion to humanisIic precepts in the ideals of the Revolution, face the reality of continuing deprivation and repression andvmend its appreciation to those who have fought:to maintain its,bright1st dreams and hove dissented from the .paralysis of national ignorance that has often plagued our past.Only mature natibn may have the, courage to face the truth of Itspast-arid"move to correCTIFET-- future, Mr. 43enjamin Whitaker's opening essay in the "Overview" section is addressed to the international need to develop an analysis of minority conflict and intergroup tension.

Stock#: 33466mba Map Maker: Williams Date: 1876 Place: New York Color: Hand Colored Condition: Size: 36 x 23 inches Price: SOLD Description: Verso illustration for the following map: {{ inventory_detail_link('33466mb') }} The following is the description for the map referenced above: Rare first edition of this striking large format map of the Western, published by Henry T. Williams, with a handwritten note relating to the notorious stagecoach robber, Black Bart, who operated in Northern California and Southern Oregon from 1875 to 1883. Williams map of the west follows the transcontinental railroad west from Omaha to San Francisco, and along with a number of other early railroad lines in the west. The train stations along each route are showns and named, along with several proposed routes. The map is one of the best examples of the colorful and inviting maps used to promote tourist travel to the west. The present example of the map has been highly annotated, apparently by an early owner who travelled extensively along the West Coast and in California, including a contemporary brush with news of the notorious stage coach robber, Black Bart. The distances by Steamer along the Pacific are noted in blue pencil, showing distances between San Diego, San Pedro, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and Humboldt Bay.

The soci- olinguistics and psycholinguistics behind Marshall Mathers and his music, though, are deserving of a PBS documentary. Eminem capitalizes on his lin- guistic genie with as much savvy as he does on his alter egos. He “flips the linguistics,” as he boasts in “Fast Lane” from Bad Meets Evil’s 2011 album Hell: The Sequel. As its title suggests, this essay focuses initially on the fact that rap is deeply rooted in black English, relating this to Eminem in the context of much information on the language of (Detroit) blacks. This linguistic excur- sion may not endear me to readers who hate grammar (or to impatient fans), but it ultimately helps to understand how Eminem and hip hop managed to adopt each other.

  • The Social Life of Slurs
    The Social Life of Slurs Geoff Nunberg School of Information, UC Berkeley Jan. 22, 2016 To appear in Daniel Fogal, Daniel Harris, and Matt Moss (eds.) (2017): New Work on Speech Acts (Oxford, UK: Oxford University Press). Chaque mot a son histoire. —Jules Gilliéron A Philological Caution The Emergence of Slurs We wear two hats when we talk about slurs, as engaged citizens and as scholars of language. The words had very little theoretical interest for philosophy or linguistic semantics before they took on a symbolic role in the culture wars that broke out in and around the academy in the 1980s.1 But once scholars’ attention was drawn to the topic, they began to discern connections to familiar problems in meta-ethics, semantics, and the philosophy of language. The apparent dual nature of the words—they seem both to describe and to evaluate or express— seemed to make them an excellent test bed for investigations of non-truth-conditional aspects of meaning, of certain types of moral language, of Fregean “coloring,” and of hybrid or “thick” terms, among other things. There are some writers who take slurs purely as a topical jumping-off point for addressing those issues and don’t make any explicit effort to bring their discussions back to the social questions that drew scholars’ attention to the words in the first place. But most seem to feel that their research ought to have some significance beyond the confines of the common room. That double perspective can leave us a little wall-eyed, as we try to track slurs as both a social and linguistic phenomenon.

  • Canada and the Transnational Civil Rights Movement
    CANADA AND THE TRANSNATIONAL CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT A MARCH FROM SELMA TO CANADA: CANADA AND THE TRANSNATIONAL CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT BY ROSANNE P. WATERS, B.A., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University © Copyright by Rosanne Waters, May 2015 McMaster University DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2015) Hamilton, Ontario (History) TITLE: A March from Selma to Canada: Canada and the Transnational Civil Rights Movement AUTHOR: Rosanne Waters, B.A. (Hon.) (Brock University), M.A. (University of Toronto) SUPERVISOR: Professor Ruth A. Frager NUMBER OF PAGES: ix; 330 ii ABSTRACT This dissertation examines transnational connectivities centred on anti-discrimination and human rights activism, discourse, and policy spanning the Canada-United States border during the 1950s and 1960s. It focuses specifically on Canadian interactions with the African American civil rights movement, with particular attention to the ways Canadian activists contributed to the American movement, as well as the significance of the American movement to Canadian rights activism and policy. This dissertation contributes to historical understanding of the transnational nature of the American civil rights movement by illustrating how Canadian activists and organizations impacted directly on the American movement through financial and moral support. It also argues the American movement had important implications for Canadian rights activism and policy. Canadian anti-discrimination activists followed American civil rights campaigns, adapting ideas and techniques when relevant to their own efforts. Most significantly, they leveraged examples from south of the border and elsewhere around the world when pressing for change in local contexts.
