American Indian Perceptions of Paternal Responsibility

Using data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study, this study examined the issue of American Indian nonresident father rights and obligations. Findings revealed that both American Indian mothers and fathers supported visitation rights, but decision-making rights were not highly supported unless the father was paying child support. Both American Indian parents were similar in their views regarding paternal responsibilities. Therefore, while general father involvement intervention strategies may work for American Indians, it is important for practitioners to explore how American Indians define paternal involvement and to what extent they are willing to allow the nonresident father to participate in all aspects of the child's life.     

Presence of ‘America’ in Religious Circles of India

The paper shows how ‘America’ gradually became present in the Religious Circles of India after the arrival of Swami Vivekananda in America in 1893. Swami Vivekananda is the first individual who not only succeeded in introducing Hinduism, Vedanta in particular, to America and the West, but also in introducing what he considered to be the best aspects of American scientific and material culture to India. The bridge which Swami Vivekananda built and opened between America and India continues to be travelled by the saints, mystics, and religious leaders of India and the philanthropists, spiritual seekers and scholars of religion of America and the West even today. This modern re-synthesis of the material and the scientific with the Vedanta has been beneficial to both countries and cultures.     

Dating Violence,Young African American Males,and Risk and Protective Factors: A Review of the Literature

This report examines the extant literature on dating violence, young African American males, and risk and protective factors. Studies have shown that correlates exist between community factors, parental discipline, and gender role beliefs in young African American males that place them at risk for dating perpetration. Studies have also shown that protective factors such as adequate adult supervision, social support, and problem-solving skills exist and can mitigate risk. Implications for research and programming are also discussed.     

Troubling the ‘Happy Family’: US Liberalism and Narratives of Transnational Adoption and Immigration from China

This essay connects adoption and immigration from China by considering the relationship between the adoptee and the Chinese nanny hired to care for her. I examine news media alongside Wendy Lee’s 2008 novel, Happy Family, which portrays the adoptive family through the perspective of a Fujianese immigrant domestic worker. Transnational adoption from China emerged in the early 1990s as undocumented immigration from the Fujian province rose, representing a major shift in Chinese immigration. These practices have been apprehended divergently in mainstream discourses. This essay approaches the family as a site of neoliberal privatization that frames adoption in terms of inclusion into US national ideologies of race, gender, and class, while undocumented immigration from China has been framed through exclusion. I argue that the nanny destabilizes the construction of the family as a space of depoliticized inclusion through her labor, revealing the neoliberal inequalities that shape both adoption and immigration.

罗伯特·弗洛斯特与他的田园诗歌

１９世纪的浪漫主义诗人认为自然界是关丽的、具有个性、可以与之交流，但弗洛斯特则以为自然界具有毁灭性且冷漠无情；后达尔文主义诗人认为宇宙是永恒的，人类与其的斗争是徒劳的，可弗洛斯特则常在人类与自然界之间设置屏障，赞美人类与后者争斗的勇气。     

评汤亭亭力作《中国佬》

1980年,当代华裔美国文学的领军人物汤亭亭发表了其三部曲的第二部《中国佬》。该书力求重塑华裔美国文学传统、改变美国“主流”社会对美籍华人的刻板形象,争得华裔美国人的历史阐释权。在《中国佬》中作家巧妙地改编中国经典著作、挪用并解构西方文化典律,从而使华裔美国文学以其独特的魅力活跃在当代美国文坛。     

浅析美国的多元文化主义与国家认同

美国国家认同由盎格鲁—撒克逊新教徒(WASP)文化和"美国信念"等观点构成,主要反映了WASP文化和欧洲移民的历史认知。20世纪60年代兴起的多元文化主义,对美国国家认同构成了严峻挑战,在20世纪末的美国学术界引发了一场"文化冷战":文化保守主义者认为美国国家认同的核心是WASP文化,指责多元文化主义可能导致美国的分裂,而多元文化主义者更强调美国文化的多样性。受美国保守主义崛起和"9.11"事件的影响,多元文化主义转为低潮,但围绕美国国家认同的争论不会消失。从长远来看,"和而不同"的理念,即对多元文化的尊重和对"美国信念"的共识,也许是对美国国家认同的最好诠释。
