Selectivity Is Still in the Running: A Comment on Ifatunji's “Labor Market Disparities”

This comment is in response to Ifatunji's ( 2017 ) article, “Labor Market Disparities Between African Americans and Afro Caribbeans: Reexamining the Role of Immigrant Selectivity,” published in this journal.     

African American and Black Caribbean feelings of closeness to Africans

African American and Black Caribbean relations dominate research on interactions across black ethnic divides. Using National Survey of American Life data, we explore a different aspect of black interethnic attitudes: how close these groups feel towards Africans. African Americans and Black Caribbeans were largely similar in their feelings of closeness to Africans. For Black Caribbeans, younger and male respondents, those reporting higher levels of financial strain, living in the northeast and persons who immigrated to the US at least 11 years ago, report feeling especially close to Africans. Being male was the only significant correlate among African Americans. The findings are discussed in relation to how race, ethnicity and national origin shape personal identities within the US and their significance for intergroup perceptions. These broader issues warrant further consideration in light of assertions that race as a defining feature of American life and intergroup relations is obsolete.

非裔巴西人宗教中的入巫、出神与着魔——一位来自马拉尼昂的mineiro的故事

Tambor de Mina 是盛行于马拉尼昂（巴西北部的一个州）的一个融非洲宗教、天主教以及当地元素于一体的传统宗教。文中所述内容,在有关非裔巴西宗教的著作中很少被提及。文章基于作者在吉马良斯（马拉尼昂州的一个村子）进行的长期访谈,记载了当地一位米内罗（ mineiro ）所说的话。作者遵循“民族志应当反映当地人的观点”的基本原则,通过编辑、选择和再组织受访者讲话的方式,展示了人类学家在话语选择和权威建立方面所应扮演的角色,从而对民族志及民族志写作中的主观性和虚构性进行反思。
