Advocates Should Use Applicable International Standards To Address Violations Of Undocumented Migrant Workers' Rights In The United States, Connie De La Vega, Conchita Lozano-Batista

UC Law Journal of Race and Economic Justice

As the economic gap between rich and poor countries continues to grow, those living in poor countries migrate to richer countries to survive. Migrants who succeed in completing the journey to receiving countries are often subjected to human rights violations in the workplace. More particularly, the human rights violations encompass violations of the right to organize in order to be free from exploitative conditions, the right to equality before the law, and the right to legal recourse. This article will provide migrant rights advocates in the U.S. with international legal standards that can be used to address domestic human rights …


Inadequate And Inappropriate Mental Health Treatment And Minority Overrepresentation In The Juvenile Justice System, Kasey Corbit Jan 2005

Inadequate And Inappropriate Mental Health Treatment And Minority Overrepresentation In The Juvenile Justice System, Kasey Corbit

UC Law Journal of Race and Economic Justice

Not only are minority youth at greater risk for mental illness, they are more likely to be funneled into the juvenile justice system because of untreated symptoms of mental illness. This is because minority youth are less likely to be insured at the same rates as their white peers and more likely to be perceived as aggressive or dangerous when exhibiting symptoms of a mental health problem. California voters may have created a possible solution to this situation by approving Proposition 63, now known as the "Mental Health Services Act," which requires California counties to create innovative solutions to addressing …

Bridging The Federalism Gap: Procedural Due Process And Race Discrimination In A Devolved Welfare System, Risa E. Kaufman Jan 2005

Bridging The Federalism Gap: Procedural Due Process And Race Discrimination In A Devolved Welfare System, Risa E. Kaufman

UC Law Journal of Race and Economic Justice

As recent Supreme Court decisions limit the power of the federal government to legislate and the federal courts to provide redress in areas such as civil rights, Congress is devolving significant power to states and localities to create and implement poverty-related programs. The discretion and authority that is further devolved to local caseworkers and administrators can be tainted with racial bias, raising the risk of and resulting in a disparate impact on people of color. Individuals may thus face a greater risk of race discrimination within the welfare system with fewer statutory protections available to challenge such discrimination. This article …

A System Of Epistemic Modality In Thai, Suda Rangkupan Jan 2005

A System Of Epistemic Modality In Thai, Suda Rangkupan

Manusya, Journal of Humanities

The paper explores the syntax and semantics of epistemic modality in Thai grammar. Four syntactic categories are found to express epistemic modality-preverbal auxiliaries, initial particles, adverbs and final particles. Epistemic modality can also be further classified: five categories are found to be distinctive in the system of Thai grammar-assumptive, speculative, deductive, dubitative and certainty.


The Roles Of The Buddha In Thai Myths: Reflections On The Attempt To Integrate Buddhism Into Thai Local Beliefs, Poramin Jaruworn Jan 2005

The Roles Of The Buddha In Thai Myths: Reflections On The Attempt To Integrate Buddhism Into Thai Local Beliefs, Poramin Jaruworn

Manusya, Journal of Humanities

This article aims at identifying the roles of the Buddha in Thai myths in order to explain how the Thai were able to integrate Buddhism into their indigenous beliefs. Certain myths played an important role in recording the conflicts in the minds of Thai ancestors as to whether they should continue to hold to indigenous beliefs or whether they should adopt Buddhism. The roles played by the Buddha in certain myths reflect the fact that the Buddha took over roles that were once performed by local gods. Such roles were the provision of fertility, light and water. Attitudes of the …


Exile, Secrecy, And Cunning': Cultural Translation And Hybridity In Maxine Hong Kingston's The Woman Warrior, Chutima Pragatwutisarn Jan 2005

Exile, Secrecy, And Cunning': Cultural Translation And Hybridity In Maxine Hong Kingston's The Woman Warrior, Chutima Pragatwutisarn

Manusya, Journal of Humanities

This article discusses the construction of Chinese-American identity in Maxine Hong Kingston's The Woman Warrior. Kingston's book reveals the role of story-telling in the construction of ethnic (and gendered) identity as the author narrates her personal experiences through the reconstruction of myths, legends, and 'talk stories' she inherited from her mother. The method Kingston uses to make sense of these stories is that of translation. Translation refers to a performance of ethnic and gendered identity in Kingston's narrative. Here the complex identity known as Chinese-American is not an accumulation of discrete, distinct cultures, "Chinese and American', As a result of …
