The Return Of Assimilation? Changing Perspectives On Immigration And Its Sequels In France, Germany, And The United States, Rogers Brubaker Jun 2001

The Return Of Assimilation? Changing Perspectives On Immigration And Its Sequels In France, Germany, And The United States, Rogers Brubaker

Rogers Brubaker

This article argues that the massive differentialist turn of the last third of the twentieth century may have reached its peak, and that one can discern signs of a modest “return of assimilation”. The article presents evidence of this from the domain of public discourse in France, public policy in Germany, and scholarly research in the US. Yet what has “returned” is not the old, analytically discredited and politically disreputable “assimilationist” understanding of assimilation, but a more analytically complex and normatively defensible understanding. The article concludes by specifying the ways in which the concept of assimilation has been transformed.

The Importance Of Being Related: How The Nuclear Family Functioned Within The Urban Environment Of Medieval Norwich 1250-1348, Anne Grant May 2001

The Importance Of Being Related: How The Nuclear Family Functioned Within The Urban Environment Of Medieval Norwich 1250-1348, Anne Grant

Anne Grant

Did medieval families function on a nuclear or an extended level? This thesis will show that the families in urban Norwich, England in the Middle Ages worked, loved and played within strong nuclear families instead of floundering in a sea of extended relatives and neighbors. Using two books of deeds from the city of Norwich as well as the police records and other assorted information from the city, this paper will prove that nuclear family relationships, with their economic and social bonds, were of primary importance to the functionality of the conjugal family and that much less focus was centered …

The Congregation Of The Mission In The United States:, John E. Rybolt

John E Rybolt

The Congregation of the Mission (the Vincentians) arrived in America in 1815. This article traces their history as a mission from Rome (1815-35), a province of the Congregation (1835-88), divided into two provinces (1888-1975), and again into five provinces (from 1975). Its ministries developed from preaching and seminary teaching into other fields, such as university education and foreign missions.

Preface, David D. Nolte

David D Nolte

Light is the quintessential messenger. It travels faster than anything. It weighs nothing, and
costs almost as little to make. A million rays of light carrying a thousand colors can travel along with each
other or through each other without interacting, carrying data and commands between millions of locations.
This is the parallelism of light, and it represents massive communication and computational power. With
it, machines of light can do a million things at once.

Maine, Indian Land Speculation, And The Essex County Witchcraft Outbreak Of 1692, Emerson Baker

Emerson Baker

On Thursday, September 1, 1692, the elite of Massachusetts society took a break from the ongoing horror of the Essex County witch trials to celebrate the marriage of Major John Richards and Anne Winthrop. It was the second marriage for Richards, a prominent merchant and member of the Governor's Council whose deceased first wife was the widow of Anne's uncle Adam Winthrop. It was the first marriage for the bride, the daughter of the late John Winthrop Jr., and no less a figure than Lieutenant Governor William Stoughton presided over the ceremony. Though no wedding list survives, one can come …

Exploring Gender And Economic Development In Appalachia, Melissa Latimer, Ann M. Oberhauser Dec 2000

Exploring Gender And Economic Development In Appalachia, Melissa Latimer, Ann M. Oberhauser

Ann Oberhauser

 Gender relations have influenced the distribution, causes, and consequences of social and economic inequality in the Appalachian region.  Labor market studies that examine gender-based sources of inequality  greatly expanded our understanding of poverty in Appalachia for both  women and men (Billings and Tickamyer 1993). Researchers, who incorporate gender into their analyses, consistently have documented that  women are more vulnerable to poverty than men in this region (Latimer  2000; Tickamyer and Tickamyer 1991). The increased attention to gender  issues within Appalachian studies reflected the heightened awareness of  how gender - in addition to race, class, and ethnicity - shape economic  development …

How Many Deaths? Problems In The Statistics Of Massacre In Indonesia (1965-1966) And East Timor (1975-1980), Robert Cribb Dec 2000

How Many Deaths? Problems In The Statistics Of Massacre In Indonesia (1965-1966) And East Timor (1975-1980), Robert Cribb

Robert Cribb

The chapter critically examines the scanty evidence for the number of people to die in the massacres carried out by the Indonesian army in Indonesia during the suppression of the Indonesian Communist Party in 1965-66 and in East Timor duting the first five years after the indonesian invasion and occupation (1975-80). The chapter concludes that the death toll in Indonesia lay between 200,000 and 800,000, with a figure of 500,000 the current most plausible estimate. It concludes that the common estmate of 200,000 deaths by violence in East Timor is likely to be a significant exaggeration and that the likely …
