Ethnic‐Controlled Economy or Segregation? Exploring Inequality in Latina/o Co‐Ethnic Jobsites1

Recent research has increasingly focused on how ethnicity operates within labor markets. Due to perceptions of intragroup homogeneity and assumptions that inequality only occurs between majority whites and people of color, most research has neglected intragroup economic inequality. This study examines how skin color, immigration/nativity status, and gender influence wage differentials in Latina/o co‐ethnic jobsites (where workers are the same ethnicity). Using data from the Los Angeles Study of Urban Inequality (LASUI), it is found that there are skin color, immigration/nativity status, and sex wage gaps among Latina/os working in co‐ethnic jobsites. Moreover, illustrating intersectionality, immigrant women and dark‐skinned immigrants suffer from wage gaps in co‐ethnic jobsites. Unexpectedly, some Latinas experience a wage advantage, in comparison with Latinos, which is associated with lighter skin. The author suggests that Latinas are subjected to multiple‐jeopardy situations in which they experience an intersection of inequalities in jobsites saturated by co‐ethnics but that lightness of skin color functions as a form of social capital. Thus, research on the benefits or costs associated with working with co‐ethnics cannot be extended to the entire ethnic group. The conclusion is that for Central Americans and Mexicans, co‐ethnic jobsites are generally forms of segregated employment with limited protection from discrimination.

自由之轭:从胡秋原参与的两次论战说起

1933年的左翼“新人”:周文的地缘小说(下)

从周文30年代小说的变化可以看出,这批左翼"新人"在起点上更为统一的地缘小说创作并没有发展起来,这与茅盾的创作和批评的影响直接相关,更有他们自身的局限,可见胡风30年代对"客观主义"批评的左翼文学发展意义,他们的地缘小说创作更需要通过对鲁迅的认识和理解得到真正发展。     

The Color Paradigm: The Impact of Colorism on the Racial Identity and Identification of Latinas

Existing research has provided scant analysis on the impact of colorism or skin color privilege and stigma on racial identity and identification among Latinos/as. This article explores the dynamics of colorism and the impact on racial identity and identification among Latinos/as of varying phenotypes. The experiences of a subset of eight Caribbean Latinas and one Chicana are used to illustrate how Latinas negotiate their racial identification and survive experiences of both stigma and privilege within the U.S. context. The article concludes with implications for social work research, practice, and pedagogy.     

中国现代小说"乡土"意蕴的流变与中国革命

Critical Race Theories,Colorism, and the Decade's Research on Families of Color

In the millennium's inaugural decade, 2 interrelated trends influenced research on America's families of color: the need for new knowledge about America's growing ethnic/racial minority and immigrant populations and conceptual advances in critical race theories and perspectives on colorism. Three substantive areas reflecting researchers' interests in these trends emerged as the most frequently studied topics about families of color: inequality and socioeconomic mobility within and across families, interracial romantic pairings, and the racial socialization of children. In this review, we synthesize and critique the decade's scholarly literature on these topics. We devote special attention to advances in knowledge made by family‐relevant research that incorporated ways of thinking from critical race theories and the conceptual discourse on colorism.

试论新时期湖南散文的地域风貌

朱正、钟叔河是湖南学人散文的代表作家 ,其作品中“心忧天下 ,敢为人先”、“特立独行 ,清高孤傲”、“中庸和谐 ,柔韧坚定”的人文风采 ,具有鲜明的地域文化特色 ,反映了当代湖湘精英人物同时追步鲁迅、周作人 ,但又有意无意地用周作人来稀释鲁迅的生存和行为状态。这种人格倾斜与湖湘文化的历史基因有关 ,也是人与环境的现实关系活生生的文化体现。
