Contextual identity experiencing facilitates resilience in Native American academics

This article discusses the socio-cultural dynamics that interact with ethno-racial identity experiencing in a previously under-researched group. A qualitative interdisciplinary study with 40 Native American academics from 28 mainstream universities across the U.S. served as a case example with findings that contrasted with historically influential theoretical frameworks postulating identity confusion and conflicts at the intersection of one’s mainstream education and profession versus one’s ethno-racial community grounding. Instead of feeling pressure to identify with only one worldview, the contextual, dynamic identities associated with the inclusive and flexible self-concept of tribal participants allowed them to in turn take advantage of two divergent cultural meaning systems pertaining to their distinct socio-cultural contexts. These shifts were experienced as not endogenous but rather exogenous variables, which did not cause the historically theorized issues. Participants felt their tribal identities instead facilitated meaningful integration of the existing incongruences, which resulted in unexpectedly resilient subjective experiencing.

South African Indian migration in the twenty-first century: towards a theory of ‘triple identity’

This paper is inspired by three issues, namely ongoing research on South Africans of Indian origin, the anecdotal evidence that accumulates through ongoing discussions on a casual level with such people and the increasing interest among researchers about how globalization and transnational movements are impacting upon identity formation among minorities who are seeking employment or a new life in the developed economies of the ‘big five’ English-speaking countries, i.e. the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the UK. It is in countries such as these that a third identity emerges and develops to instill a sense of triple identity. The information here suggests that, when people of Indian origin migrate to one of these countries, they continue to cling to South Africa because it is their country of birth, as well as to India, more for sentimental rather than practical reasons. The topic of this paper reflects a contemporary phenomenon not just among the Indians in South Africa, but also among other diasporas such as Chinese in Latin America, whose new and final emigration destination always seems to be the US. In addition, people of Chinese origin in the countries of Indochina, such as Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, experienced similar patterns of becoming diasporas in Europe, North America and Oceania in the 1970s. However, migration implores them to renegotiate their identities in order to adapt and settle in accordance with their newly adopted host territories. This gives rise to an identity that straddles three countries, which induces the need to examine new ways of identity building in a global transnational economy.

中东恐怖主义发展中的宗教与战争因素

中东恐怖主义的发展与宗教和战争两大因素相关。伊斯兰名义下的暴力恐怖活动与反对帝国霸权和侵略战争紧密相连,恐怖主义的行为主体不仅仅是伊斯兰极端主义组织一方,还包括美国和以色列在侵略战争中所实行的国家恐怖主义。这种态势决定了中东恐怖主义现象的复杂性。认清这种复杂性,明确伊斯兰名义下的恐怖主义与伊斯兰复兴、伊斯兰教的联系与区别,避免误解和混淆,将有助于对中东形势及整个国际政治有准确而深刻的认识。     

论18世纪后期英国对中国西藏的渗透政策及其破产

在18世纪后期,英国受当时社会历史条件的限制,对我国西藏实行以建立直接交往关系为主的渗透政策。由于喜玛拉雅地区各国在历史上同我国西藏形成的密切关系及其在地缘政治上的屏障作用,英国在这一地区的扩张活动同它建立印藏直接交往的尝试一样,都是其对藏渗透政策的组成部分。英国在廓尔喀侵藏战争中的卑劣表演最终导致了其对藏渗透政策的彻底破产。

1955年埃苏武器交易内幕

第二次世界大战后美英一方面为了对抗苏联,把中东拉进全球冷战范围,另一方面又企图通过1950年美英法三国宣言控制对中东的武器供应,进而达到调整、保持该地区政治和军事均势之目的。埃及总统纳赛尔为了抵抗以色列的袭击,在请求美英给埃及提供武器不成的情况下,毅然转向苏联,通过捷克同苏联签订了购买武器的条约。苏埃武器交易使苏联势力进入中东,从而给中东局势带来了深远的影响。     

论我国金融资产管理公司的现状与发展

成立金融资产管理公司是我国政府深化金融改革 ,防范和化解金融风险的一项重大决策。我国四大金融资产管理公司为处置国有商业银行的不良资产 ,推进国有企业的改革做出了较大贡献。但我国金融资产管理公司的发展还远远跟不上我国市场经济发展的需要 ,今后要不断借鉴国外的成功经验 ,建立全新的金融资产管理公司运作机制。     

全球化时代的移民对东亚的影响

在东亚 ,民族与国家是密切联系在一起的 ,但是自 2 0世纪 80年代全球交往加深以来 ,这些社会所深深认同的在国家范围内民族单一性的观念受到了国际移民的挑战。这些移民多数是来自亚洲或者是有着亚洲种族血统的拉美人。多元民族社会的出现已经开始了 ,由全球化而引发的移民和较高收入社会的人口下降对近来及未来数十年的公共政策会有很大的影响。尽管各国的中央政府继续推行使单一民族国家现实化的政策 ,但是一些地方政府和市民组织已经在很多情况下对种族和文化的多样性现实以及外国工人在他们的社区的生活、工作及社会公平问题做出越来越积极的回应。这必然对东亚的社会结构及民主的进程产生深远的影响
