商品簡介
In a startlingly original approach, the contributors of these 17 essays closely consider the present reality: more than just one of us is a mutt. They explore research seeking to describe phenomena which continue to predominate amongst those considered minorities or in immigrant communities but is also coming to a wider appreciation through globalization, a compressed world and a related state of constraint. They examine theories behind transnationalism and the US/Mexican border, DuBois and diasporic identification, gender hybridity, the theoretical gap in the sociological theory, and hybrid identities in popular culture. Their empirical studies cover colonization in the lower Rio Grande, African-American women in predominantly white colleges, multi-racial Maori women in New Zealand mental health services, choices for second-generation Korean women regarding work and family, second-generation west Indians in Brooklyn, legal hybridity in New Zealand, and identity matrices in the multiracial experience.
