Creating Masculinity in Los Angeles's Little Manila: Working-Class Filipinos and Popular Culture, 1920s-1950s
ISBN: 9780231115933 / Angielski / Miękka / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this new work, Linda Espana-Maram analyzes the politics of popular culture in the lives of Filipino laborers in Los Angeles's Little Manila, from the 1920s to the 1940s.

The Protestant Ethnic and the Spirit of Capitalism
ISBN: 9780231124218 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

To drastically reconceptualize ethnicity in the contemporary world, Chow proposes that it be examined in conjunction with Max Weber's famous theory...

The Ethnic Phenomenon
ISBN: 9780275927097 / Angielski / Miękka / 318 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Van den Berghe contends that intergroup relations are reducible to individuals competing for scarce resources. While social classes are grouped according to common material interests, ethnic groups are organized by real or punitive common descent--ultimately on the basis of common interests. The author argues that ethnic nepotism is, at its very foundation, biological. This new approach is expanded further, taking into account how ethnicity is responsive to a wide spectrum of environmental factors. He analytically relates his own ideological biases to the substance of his work. What... Van den Berghe contends that intergroup relations are reducible to individuals competing for scarce resources.
