  • A Meta-Regression Analysis on the Association Between Income Inequality and Intergenerational Transmission of Income
    A meta-regression analysis on the association between income inequality and intergenerational transmission of income Ernesto F. L. Amaral Texas A&M University [email protected] Sharron X. Wang Texas A&M University [email protected] Shih-Keng Yen Texas A&M University [email protected] Francisco Perez-Arce University of Southern California [email protected] Abstract Our overall aim is to understand the association between income inequality and intergenerational transmission of income (degree to which conditions at birth and childhood determine socioeconomic situation later in life). Causality is hard to establish, because both income inequality and inequality in opportunity are results of complex social and economic outcomes. We analyze whether this correlation is observed across countries and time (as well as within countries), in a context of recent increases in income inequality. We investigate Great Gatsby curves and perform meta-regression analyses based on several papers on this topic. Results suggest that countries with high levels of income inequality tend to have higher levels of inequality of opportunity. Intergenerational income elasticity has stronger associations with Gini coefficient, compared to associations with top one percent income share. Once fixed effects are included for each country and study paper, these correlations lose significance. Increases in income inequality not necessarily bring decreases in intergenerational mobility maybe as a result of different drivers of inequality having diverse effects on mobility, as well as a consequence of public policies that might reduce associations between income inequality and inequality of opportunity. Keywords Income inequality. Intergenerational transmission of income. Intergenerational mobility. Inequality of opportunity. Great Gatsby Curve.

  • The Involvement of Tiv Diaspora in Peacebuilding in Nigeria
    E-journal promoted by the Campus for Peace, Universitat Oberta de Catalunya http://journal-of-conflictology.uoc.edu ARTICLE Looking Beyond Conflict: The Involvement of Tiv Diaspora in Peacebuilding in Nigeria Terhemba Ambe-Uva Submitted: December 2010 Accepted: March 2011 Published: May 2011 Abstract Examining the role of transnational migrant groups in peace processes is a particular area of field research within the broad area of studies on migration. This article examines the contribution of diaspora of the Tiv ethnic group in the USA to peacebuilding in Nigeria and argues that, contrary to recent findings in the literature that African diaspora had a negative impact on peace processes, the Tiv diaspora actively engaged all the conflicting parties in an attempt to ensure sustained peace and wider democratisation of power. They were mobilised as a result of the military massacre of two hundred unarmed Tiv civilians in their homeland. The initially weak ties of the Tiv diaspora with their home country have been strengthened, with the propensity to actively participate there. Despite their track record in peace processes, a weak social, economic and political position, as well as capacity constraints, may frustrate their efforts towards an enduring and sustainable peace. Keywords diaspora, transnationalism, migrants, peace building, Tiv, conflict INTRODUCTION This military operation was part of the broader, long- standing inter-communal conflict in the area. As Human Rights Watch (2002, p.5) notes, “in a sense, it can be seen In the second week of October 2001, Nigerian soldiers killed as a culmination of a series of attacks and counter-attacks more than two hundred unarmed civilians and destroyed by Tiv and Jukun armed groups, primarily in Taraba State homes, shops, public buildings and other property in more and the areas around the Taraba-Benue border”.

  • The Girinya Dance Theatre of the Tiv People of Nigeria: an Aesthetic Evaluation
    The Girinya Dance Theatre of the Tiv People of Nigeria: an Aesthetic Evaluation Jacob Manase Agaku Girinya Dance Theatre of the Tiv People The Girinya Dance Theatre of the Tiv People of Nigeria: an Aesthetic Evaluation Jacob Manase Agaku Lecturer, University of Jos, Nigeria ABSTRACT ‘Residual theatre’ is used to refer to mean ritual performances that are still enacted but which have lost their original purpose. Such performances can still be enjoyed and can still play a role in promoting social cohesion and a sense of identity, so long as the performers, and the audience, recognise and accept the way they have changed. The Girinya dance of the Tiv people of Nigeria, which was originally a war dance, is a case in point. In the Tiv dance aesthetic, men’s dances should be vigorous and energetic, as the Girinya dance is, but whereas in the past the dance was about the way warriors should behave in battle, it is now about continuity and renewal. I have tried to describe and evaluate this aesthetic and the way it has been adapted to have a new meaning within the changing culture of the Tiv people. Introduction touch-button’ system in which people prefer to stay at home Recently, issues about the continued relevance of and watch television or movies than go out to a theatre to traditional theatre in the 21st century have dominated watch a live performance. This is adversely affecting the discourse within academia1.

Edwards Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of English and Comparative Literature Head of the Department of Comparative Literature *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. iii ABSTRACT In The Students of Human Rights, I propose that the role of the cultural figure of the American student activist of the Long Sixties in human rights literature enables us to identify a pedagogy of deficit and indebtedness at work within human rights discourse. My central argument is that a close and comparative reading of the role of this cultural figure in the American context, anchored in three representative cases from Argentina—a dictatorship, Mexico—a nominal democracy, and Puerto Rico—a colonially-occupied and minoritized community within the United States, reveals that the liberal idealization of the subject of human rights relies upon the implicit pedagogical regulation of an educable subject of human rights.

  • Transnational Identity and Second-Generation Black
    THE DARKER THE FLESH, THE DEEPER THE ROOTS: TRANSNATIONAL IDENTITY AND SECOND-GENERATION BLACK IMMIGRANTS OF CONTINENTAL AFRICAN DESCENT A Dissertation by JEFFREY F. OPALEYE Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Joe R. Feagin Committee Members, Jane A. Sell Mary Campbell Srividya Ramasubramanian Head of Department, Jane A. Sell August 2020 Major Subject: Sociology Copyright 2020 Jeffrey F. Opaleye ABSTRACT Since the inception of the Immigration Act of 1965, Black immigrant groups have formed a historic, yet complex segment of the United States population. While previous research has primarily focused on the second generation of Black immigrants from the Caribbean, there is a lack of research that remains undiscovered on America’s fastest-growing Black immigrant group, African immigrants. This dissertation explores the transnational identity of second-generation Black immigrants of continental African descent in the United States. Using a transnational perspective, I argue that the lives of second-generation African immigrants are shaped by multi-layered relationships that seek to maintain multiple ties between their homeland and their parent’s homeland of Africa. This transnational perspective brings attention to the struggles of second-generation African immigrants. They are replicating their parents’ ethnic identities, maintaining transnational connections, and enduring regular interactions with other racial and ethnic groups while adapting to mainstream America. As a result, these experiences cannot be explained by traditional and contemporary assimilation frameworks because of their prescriptive, elite, white dominance framing and methods that were designed to explain the experiences of European immigrants.

  • Evolution of State and Society in Pre-Colonial Nigeria 1500- 1800 Dr
    This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License . EVOLUTION OF STATE AND SOCIETY IN PRE-COLONIAL NIGERIA 1500- 1800 DR. O. OLUWANIYI INTRODUCTION • Nigeria’s geopolitical space has the most diverse cultural and language groups and one of the most diverse ecological zones in Africa. • It is the most populous state in Africa, home to more than 16 percent of all populations in Africa. Its diverse peoples, more than two hundred ethno-linguistic groups, were brought together under the umbrella of a modern state. • Since Nigeria is a creation of colonial rule, this course systematically analyses pre-colonial Nigeria, which means the regions and peoples who lived within and adjacent to what later became the boundaries of modern Nigeria. Introduction • The mode of socio-political organization and economic traditions played significant roles in the ways precolonial historical experiences manifested in different parts of the Niger area. • Understanding the different socio-political formations in which individuals, families and communities lived their lives is therefore, germane to grappling with the dynamics of intergroup relations, gender, social hierarchies, ideologies, worldviews and economic pursuits. • Broad consensus exists in support of such factors as food production, migration, iron technology, trade, environment, or ecology as playing strong roles in the processes of state formation. • These similarities are due to intergroup relations, regional interactions and similarities in economic and environmental conditions. • In the big states, the control of regional markets and trade routes boosted the economy, enabled greater political centralisation and financed ambitious projects. “ Evolution of State and Society in Yorubaland • Introduction: Focus here will be the Political, economic and military, factors brought about the evolution of Yorubaland.
