Comparison of Discrimination and Assimilation of African and Native Americans: Minority Groups, Cultural Changes, Colonization, Immigration, and Relations with the Dominant Group
[ send me this paper ]
This is an 8 page paper discussing discrimination and assimilation of African and Native Americans. African Americans and Native Americans in the United States have experienced generations of discrimination and assimilation but from somewhat different perspectives. Native Americans were the most profoundly affected by colonization and were forced into minority group status and relocated by European whites who wanted the Native lands for their own needs similar to the minority group patterns in the theories of Robert Blauner. African Americans, on the other hand, have experienced two different forms of assimilation and discrimination in which those who were born here experienced legal segregation (until the 1960s Civil Rights Movements) in addition to discrimination and minority status based on �group inequity� in which the dominant group (white Anglo Europeans) believed African Americans to be inferior combined with �differential power� in which the dominant group was larger and had the resources to force the African Americans into minority status; ideas reflected in the theories of Donald L. Noel. African Americans are also comprised of immigrants who according to Blauner, made the decision to immigrate to the U.S. and therefore differ from those who were forced into minority status. Regardless of the origins of the Native Americans and African Americans, most sociologists agree that because they have been deemed �minority social races� they will continue to experience various forms of assimilation expectations and discrimination by the dominant group.

Construction Of Caribbeanness: Race And Ethnicity
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. Deciphering Caribbean attributes within the literary world is not always a simple observation; rather, such depiction requires an inherent knowledge that can only be found in those who place both their hearts and souls into the work. Two authors in particular stand out in this field as successfully portraying Caribbeanness within their writings: Jean Rhys' "Wide Sargasso Sea" and Maryse Conde's "I, Tituba, Black Witch of Salem." The two authors
clearly exemplify the fundamental aspects of Caribbeanness, while at the same time address the vastness of the human condition. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Cornel West's "Race Matters": Xenophobia, Consumerism And Hedonism
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. In his book entitled "Race Matters," Cornel West claims that xenophobia, consumerism and hedonism are elements that serve to stifle any positive racial progress. The manner by which these three elements have a negative impact upon racial progress is, indeed, clear and can readily be witnessed in everyday society. Fear runs
rampant between and among racial communities, often for no other reason than ignorance of the truth, illustrating West's contention that xenophobia continues to play an integral role in racial segregation. Consumerism, ever since its appearance in the latter part of the nineteenth century, has cultivated myriad hateful qualities that have served humanity no good purpose; one of the most instrumental is that of racial partition. And while hedonism might appear to represent one of life's most beneficial aspects, it actually perpetuates the separation between and among races. No additional sources cited.

Creating a Black Nation
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper that purveys how Black Africans looked at their history of domination realized that this excluded them from participating in commerce. But the larger picture was one of diversity. Members of their community are spread around the planet, and this prevented them from forming a strong Black community. Leaders knew that if they did not change history, that the global community would continue to exclude and dominate them. Therefore, they began reclaiming their rightful place by achieving freedom from British rule in Africa, restructuring their communities in Africa, and by including Blacks from around the world in their reconstruction under the umbrella of 'Pan-Atlantic' and 'Pan-American' movements. Bibliography lists 11 sources.
