    Race, Ethnicity, and Place in a Changing America: a Perspective

    Chapter 1 Race, Ethnicity, and Place in a Changing America: A Perspective JOHN W. FRAZIER PERSISTENCE AND CHANGE IN AMERICAN HUMAN GEOGRAPHY Culture, and the human geography it produces, persists over a long time period. However, culture changes slowly, as does the visible landscape it produces and the ethnic meanings imbued by the group that shapes it. That many examples of persistent and new cultural landscapes exist in the United States is not surpris- ing given the major technological, demographic, and economic changes in American society since World War II (WWII). America emerged from WWII as one of two superpowers, developed and embraced technology that took Americans to the moon, created an electronics revolution that greatly modified the ways that Americans work and live, and built a globally unique interstate highway system, new housing stock, millions of additional automobiles, and otherwise increased its production to meet the challenge of nearly doubling its population be- tween 1950 and 2000. The post-WWII baby boom and massive immigration fueled population growth and modified American society in important ways, creating different needs and growing aspirations. A larger Afri- can American middle class also emerged during this post-war period. Leadership in a growing global economy enabled unprecedented economic growth that supported these changes. Some less positive changes occurred during this period as America repositioned itself in global affairs, while experiencing great domestic and global economic, social and political challenges. America fought and lost a war in Vietnam, experienced an energy crisis, and suffered through double-digit inflation and severe economic recession, which contributed to a more conservative mood in Washington, D.C.

    The Multiple Faces of Greek American Religious Experience: Helen Papanikolas’S the Apple Falls from the Apple Tree

    Journal of American Studies of Turkey 16 (2002) : 1-16 The Multiple Faces of Greek American Religious Experience: Helen Papanikolas’s The Apple Falls from the Apple Tree Theodora Tsimpouki After centuries of organized religious practice, a tendency among individuals to acknowledge themselves as having a strong personal faith, one that does not necessarily align itself with any of the well-delineated religious orders (Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus), has become increasingly evident. Nevertheless, such private religious belief, termed America’s "invisible religion,”1 does not finally destroy the established form of religion or affect the astonishing proliferation of new varieties of religious movements. Rather, while religious faith is regarded as a private matter, religious practice as a public performance is undergoing a phase of revalorization as it potentially provides for community and fosters social bonds among members of the established religious orders or the new religious movements. Instead of being drawn by theological factors, members of religious groups are drawn by social ones that strengthen communal bonds and provide a sense of personal belonging and security. At the same time, one must acknowledge the "constantly evolving role of religion as a force of global affairs" (Lester 37), which has discredited the assumption that advances in the rational understanding of the world will inevitably diminish the influence of religion. As the editor of the World Christian Encyclopedia, David B. Barrett has noted, the impact from the changing role of religious experience is enormous. For Barrett, this change is "massive, it’s complex, and it’s continual" (qtd. in Lester 38).

The Berlin Olympics: Sports, Anti-Semitism, and Propaganda in Nazi Germany Abstract The aN zis utilized the Berlin Olympics of 1936 as anti-Semitic propaganda within their racial ideology. When the Nazis took power in 1933 they immediately sought to coordinate all aspects of German life, including sports. The process of coordination was designed to Aryanize sport by excluding non-Aryans and promoting sport as a means to prepare for military training. The 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin became the ideal platform for Hitler and the Nazis to display the physical superiority of the Aryan race. However, the exclusion of non-Aryans prompted a boycott debate that threatened Berlin’s position as host.

A religiously-infused life and the endeavor of sports have much in common, though often come into conflict. We share with you the latest issue of YU Ideas, “Jews, Sports and Society,” featuring essays from Yeshiva University faculty and staff, and invite you to reflect on the myriad ways in which Judaism and sports have intersected, both historically and in our contemporary era.

    From Assimilation to Kalomoira: Satellite Television and Its Place in New York City’S Greek Community

Four main concepts guide this paper, based on prior theoretical research established in the field of Diaspora studies: authenticity, assertive hybridity, cultural capital, and imagined communities. Satellite television broadcasts from Greece have targeted the audience of the Hellenic Diaspora as an extension of the homeland, and as a result, are viewed as more “authentic” than Diaspora-based broadcasts. Assertive hybridity is exemplified through satellite programming such as reality shows and the emergence of transnational pop stars such as Kalomoira, who was born and raised in New York but attained celebrity status in Greece as the result of her participation on the Greek reality show Fame Story. Finally, satellite television broadcasts from Greece have fostered the formation of a transnational imagined community, linked by the shared viewing of Greek satellite programming and the simultaneous consumption of Greek pop culture and acquisition of cultural capital. All of the above concepts are evident in the emergence of a Greek “café culture” and “sports culture”, mediated by satellite television and visible in the community’s public spaces.
