Further, it is imperative to demonstrate to publishing companies, historians, school principals, other educators, and laymen the importance of avoiding U.S. history and social studies materials of this nature. The purpose of this study was to develop practical evaluative criteria for both students and teachers who are in the areas of U.S. history and social studies and to provide a usable model for Black people, other minorities, and women who are not textbooks. qiven a balance account in U.S. history and social studies The Manual for Evaluative Procedures for Traditional U.S. History Textbooks developed by this researcher contains five major evaluative information about procedures: (1) the Format Data Sheet which requests the Comparative the textbook title, author, date of copyright, etc.; (2) criterion-reference Analyses Chart that includes a randomly selected personalities who have made group of nineteen eminent Black and White VI major or substantially similar contributions in U.S. history beginning with the Pre-Columbian Period and ending in the Twentieth Century. These Black and White personalities were examined for their inclusion or their exclusion in the selected U.S. history textbooks; (3) a compu- tation of the total words devoted to the Black and White personalities listed on the Comparative Analyses Chart; (4) critical analyses of randomly selected illustrations from social studies, traditional and non- tradi ti onal U.S. history textbooks that depict stereotypes of Black people and illustrations which represent positwe Black images that have been excluded. This procedure further evaluates several illustra- tions of White images that have been excluded from U.S. history and social studies because of their negative connotations; (5) involves the observation of racial (Black) stereotypes that are generally found in U.S. history and social studies which are sociopsychological in nature and are facilitated by ten queries. The basic assumption underlying the hypotheses of this study was that a bias in favor of including White historical figures and a bias against including Black historical figures would be manifested in U.S. history textbooks chosen for this study. The variables selected were Race, Race by Sex, and Inclusion-Exclusion in U.S. history textbooks. A school system in Hampshire County, Massachusetts, was selected for parti ci Dati on in this study. Twenty-one social studies and United States history textbooks currently being used at the elementary, junior and senior levels of this system were examined for inclusion of illustra- tions and text. All data for statistical analyses came from the VI 1 1 seventeen U.S. history textbooks (one elementary, six junior high, and ten senior high). These U.S. history textbooks were examined for the inclusion and total words devoted to the 19 Black and White personalities listed on the Comparative Analyses Chart. The statistical analysis of this tudy was a one-tailed Chi-Square test. Results of the hypotheses testing indicated: (a) there is a highly significant association (£ > .0005) between race and the inclusion of Black and White personalities; (b) there is a highly significant association (d .0005) between race and the inclusion or exclusion of Black and White males; (c) a significant association (ja < .01) exists between race and the inclusion of White and Black females; (d) a significant association in (ja .01) exists between race and sex during the same periods U.S. history; (e) there was no significant association found between sex and the inclusion of Black males and females; (f) no significant association was found between sex and the inclusion of White males and .0005) exists between race females; (g) a significant association (£ ^ past (1949-1963) and the inclusion of Black and White personalities in .0005) association ( > U.S. history textbooks examined; (h) a significant £ White personalities exists between race and the inclusion of Black and textbooks; and (1) a highly in contemporary (1964-1970’ s) U.S. history number .0005) exists between race and the significant association ( £ > personalities in the seventeen U.S. of words devoted to Clack and White history textbooks examined. testinq the nine hypotheses The procedural processes involved in the total of serendipity with regard to of this study produced an element Black and White personalities: number of illustrations devoted to the VI 1 90% of the White personal i ties received at least one or more illustrations whereas 90% of the Black personalities listed on the Comparative Analyses Chart received no illustrations. Conclusions drawn from the findings of this study have indicated that U.S. history and social studies materials are still presenting inept and racist scholarship to American educational institutions and that there is a strong need for more positive research of this nature. This researcher recommends the following practical measures: (a) the Manual for Evaluative Procedures for Tradi ional U.S. History Textbooks used in this study is recommended for use as a model for Black people, other minorities and women, whose historical past has been distorted. This Instrument can be utilized as a model and beginning step in ferretting out racist, sexist, and inept scholarship in U.S. history textbooks; (b) teachers in the area of social studies or U.S. history should take the responsibility to evaluate and choose materials that are suitable for all ethnic groups; (c) a national committee should be drawn up and should encompass representation from all minority groups who are suffering from imbalanced and distorted depiction in U.S. history textbooks. This national committee could then begin to develop materials which would be feasible and representa- tive of all minority groups and women in America; and (d) efforts U.S. history should be made to include minority history as a part of the rather than as curricula required by states and the national government or may not take.

    White Attitudes Toward Latinos and Policy Preferences in Orange County California

    Mapping Latino Racialization: White Attitudes Toward Latinos and Policy Preferences in Orange County California By Celia Olivia Lacayo A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnic Studies In the Graduate Division Of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge Professor Stephen Small, Chair Professor Michael Omi Professor Taeku Lee Spring 2013 Abstract Mapping Latino Racialization: White Attitudes Toward Latinos and Policy Preferences in Orange County California by Celia Olivia Lacayo Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnic Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Stephen Small, Chair The dissertation develops our theorizing about the dynamics of racialization, and the role of race and ethnicity, in the United States, particularly in order to account for the dynamics and processes unique to Latinos. It does so by examining white attitudes towards Latinos in Orange County, California through public discourse analysis of the “Ask a Mexican” column, a survey instrument and a series of in-depth interviews to triangulate whites’ use and logic of racial stereotypes and policy preferences. Orange County is a good testing ground for contemporary Latino racialization because it is a majority minority area, which has a long history of migration from Mexico, with deep racial segregation that reflects racial inequalities between whites and Latinos. While Latinos in the United States as a whole are a heterogeneous group my data demonstrates how the current racialization of Latinos in the United States has a homogenizing effect. Empirically my data maps racial stereotypes whites have had and continue to reference as the Latino population has increased.

    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.

You are here: Home -> 3.05, Volume 3 -> Awkward Conversations About Uncomfortable Laughter Awkward Conversations About Uncomfortable Laughter Posted by Henry Jenkins / Massachusetts Institute of Technology on November 4th, 2005 61 Comments Printer-Friendly Mary Douglas’ “Implicit Meanings” In her book, Implicit Meanings, the anthropologist Mary Douglas explores the roles jokes play in mapping points of tension or transition within a culture. Only a thin line separates jokes and insults. The joke gives expressive form to an emergent perspective within a culture — something which is widely felt but rarely said. When a joke expresses a view already widely accepted, it becomes banal and unfunny. When a joke says something the culture is not ready to hear, it gets read as an insult or an obscenity. The job of the clown is thus to continually map the borders between what can and can not be said. This is why a good comedy routine is accompanied as often by gasps as by laughter. I was reminded of Douglas’s perspective on jokes when I recently participated in a screening and discussion of Sarah Silverman’s new film, Jesus is Magic. For those of you who have not heard of her yet, Silverman is a former Saturday Night Live writer who sparked national controversy in 2001 when she told a joke about “chinks” on Conan and when she defended 1 of 31 5/17/11 5:09 PM Awkward Conversations About Uncomfortable Laughter | Flow http://flowtv.org/2005/11/awkward-conversations-about-uncomf..
