This work examines Creole ethnic identity, focusing particularly on the transition from Creole to American. In "becoming American," Creoles adapted to a binary, racialized caste system prevalent in the Jim Crow American South (and transformed from a primarily Francophone/Creolophone community (where a tripartite although permissive caste system long existed) to a primarily Anglophone community (marked by stricter black-white binaries). These adaptations and transformations were facilitated through Creole participation in fraternal societies, the organized labor movement and public and parochial schools that provided English-only instruction.

A NOTE OF EXPLANATION The title of this paper promises more than I have it in my power to fulfil. It has seemed best, therefore, to begin with a brief explanatory statement. An investigation of the international financial and economic relations of China is now being carried on. It will extend over a number of years, in­ cludes a visit to China on my part, and is planned to cover the whole of a wide and difficult subject. In the work of this investigation it has fallen to me to deal with American investments in China. After a brief survey of the situation the conclusion was forced upon me that I would be obliged to undertake a new and inde­ pendent study. A considerable amount of work has been done on this new study, but it is impossible to say whether it will be successfully completed, since its success depends, in large measure, upon its inclusiveness.

There has been a historical assumption that, starting with the hostilities in 1931, the Japanese were maligned in American public opinion. Consequently, the assumption has been made that Americans supported the Chinese without reserve during their conflict with Japan in the 1930s.

  • Die Sprachensituation in Mexiko1
    Klaus Zimmermann Die Sprachensituation in Mexiko1 1. Die Situation der Indianersprachen 1.1 Allgemeine Informationen Mexiko ist mit ca. 100 Mio. Einwohnern das größte spanischsprachige Land. Diese Spitzenposition bleibt wohl auf Dauer unangefochten, denn es hat außerdem eine relativ hohe Geburtenrate (4 Kinder pro Frau 1980, 2,5 im Jahre 1990 und 2,2 im Jahre 2000).2 Neben der offiziellen Sprache Spanisch werden in Mexiko nach der Definition und Zählung des Zensus und des Er­ ziehungsministeriums 56 autochthone Indianersprachen gesprochen. Die An­ zahl dieser amerindischen oder indoamerikanischen Sprachen in Mexiko ist noch Gegenstand von Kontroversen. Nach den Kriterien der Sprach- und Dialektunterscheidung der mexikanischen Sprachwissenschaftler müssten eigentlich 77 Sprachen unterschieden werden (Manrique Castañeda 1994: 9- 15). Wenn man noch feinere Kriterien ansetzte, käme man auf eine noch höhere Zahl. Die Autoren des Ethnologue (Grimes 2000), die von feineren Kriterien ausgehen, zählen sogar 290 indigene Sprachen. Nach dem derzeitigen Stand der Sprachverwandtschaftsforschungen können diese Sprachen elf Sprachfamilien zugeordnet werden: Hocano-Coa- huilteca, Chinanteca, Otopame, Oaxaqueña, Huave, Tlapaneca, Totonaca, Mixe, Maya, Yutoazteca (Yutonahua), Tarasca .3 Die früher in Mexiko eben­ falls beheimateten Sprachfamilien Guaycura, Pericú, Mangueña und Cuitla- teca sind ausgestorben. Im Zensus von 2000 wurden 6.044.547 Personen über fünf Jahren er­ fasst, die sich als Sprecher indigener Sprachen identifizieren. Zu dieser Zahl Dem Umfang und der Komplexität der mexikanischen Sprachsituation nach hätten zwei Artikel, die Situation der Indianersprachen und die Situation des Spanischen Aufnahme in Mexiko heute finden sollen. Aus wissenschaftlich-konzeptionellen Gründen des Autors wurden diese zu einem integriert (vgl. letztes Kapitel). 2 Cabrera/Lezama (1996: 249).

    H-Diplo Fredman on Brooks, 'American Exodus: Second-Generation Chinese Americans in China, 1901-1949' Review published on Saturday, December 12, 2020 Charlotte Brooks. American Exodus: Second-Generation Chinese Americans in China, 1901-1949. Oakland: University of California Press, 2019. xviii + 309 pp. $29.95 (paper),ISBN 978-0-520-30268-6; $85.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-520-30267-9. Reviewed by Zachary Fredman (Boston University)Published on H-Diplo (December, 2020) Commissioned by Seth Offenbach (Bronx Community College, The City University of New York) Printable Version: https://www.h-net.org/reviews/showpdf.php?id=55268 Between 1901 and World War II, almost half of the Chinese American citizens born in the United States left the country and moved to China. In her excellent new book,American Exodus, Baruch College history professor Charlotte Brooks examines the transnational lives these Chinese American emigrants led in China. Drawing on archival records, periodicals, and document compilations from China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the United States, Brooks argues that Chinese American citizen immigrants, “although fully welcome in neither China nor America,” still influenced Sino-American relations, China’s society and economy, and the US government’s approach to citizenship and immigration (p. 5). Brooks meticulously documents the racism that drove thousands of Chinese American citizens to move to Asia in search of better lives. Some 1,300 Chinese American citizens left the country for Asia each year during the first decade-and-a-half of the twentieth century out of a population that stood at around 90,000 in 1900 (p. 3).

  • Intervention and Resistance: Two Mennonite Visions Conflict in Mexico
    Intervention and Resistance: Two Mennonite Visions Conflict in Mexico David M. Quiring, University of Saskatchewan To casual onlookers, the Mennonite world presents a bewildering array of factions, all of whom claim to follow in the tradition of Menno Simons and other early Anabaptists. Although seemingly motivated by sincere desires to discern and follow the will of God, spiritual leaders often have failed to agree on theological issues. As a result, they have led their adherents into separate spiritual enclaves. While some have remained in close physical proximity to the larger society, others have gone to the extreme of seeking geographic isolation. One group that has sought to live secluded from the rest of the world is the Old Colony Church in Mexico. But other Mennonites have not respected that desire for separation. In the past decades, various Mennonite groups have waged what resembles an undeclared war against the Old Co1on:y Mennonite Church in Mexico. Although the rhetoric often resembles that of a war, fortunately both sides ascribe to pacifism and have r~estrictedtheir tactics to non-violent methods of attack and defence. When this research project into the Mexican Mennonites began in the mid-1990s, like many average Canadians and Americans of 84 Journal ofMennonite Studies Mennonite descent, I lacked awareness of the conflict between the Mennonite groups in Mexico. My initial interest in the Mennonites of Latin America, and particularly the Old Colonists, derived from several sources. While curiosity about these obviously quaint people provided reason enough for exploring their history, a mare personal motivation also existed. The Old Colonists and my family share a common ancestry.
