The article presents the discussion on historiography of Veracruz, traditionally focused on its commercial role, and critiques the tendency to reduce ports to mere economic data. Topics include urging a broader understanding of their social, ethnic, and cultural aspects; and historiographical shifts since the 1990s, daily life in Veracruz, and the city's interactions with its surrounding areas.

The study analyzes the current state of research, frontiers, and trends in tolerance studies in multicultural contexts. The Web of Science Core Collection database was used to retrieve relevant literature from 2000 to 2022. CiteSpace and VOSviewer software were employed to analyze keywords through co-occurrence networks, co-polymerization classes, and burst terms, with a corresponding visual atlas created for analysis. A total of 705 valid articles were included. The results revealed that Maykel Verkuyten authored the highest number of articles (n = 12). The United States contributed the highest number of articles (n = 376, 53.33%). The Interpersonal Journal of Intercultural Relations published the most articles (n = 38, 5.39%). The most highly cited author was Shelly P. Harrell (n = 876) in the American Journal of Orthopsychiatry. The keyword with the highest frequency, surpassing 200 mentions, was "prejudice" (n = 205). The top three keywords in terms of centrality were "culture" (n = 0.13), "attitude" (n = 0.12), and "discrimination" (n = 0.11). Major research topics and hotspots in the field of Tolerance in Multicultural Contexts included the Color-blind perspective, Prejudice reduction practices, Tolerance education, and Ethnicity. The study highlights a growing interest in the effectiveness of education as an intervention to reduce prejudice among young people. Further research in this domain should combined the Internet and transcend the confines of prejudice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is based on a conversation I had with D.Š., a 42-year-old woman who emigrated to Nova Scotia in 2014 from Bosnia and Herzegovina with her husband and young son. We met in December 2022 to talk about the idea of 'home' when it comes to being an immigrant and a firstgeneration Canadian. As a first-generation Canadian who emigrated to Canada from the former Yugoslavia in 1992 and someone who has been personally interested in diasporic identities in the Canadian context, I found D.Š.'s perspective meaningful and illustrative of many issues relating to challenges and potentials in Canada's official status as a multicultural nation. D.Š.'s narrative identifies, restructures, and deconstructs in multiple ways a key social boundary, 'foreignness,' which is embedded in the practice of homemaking and the process of integration understood as relational. My analysis of D.Š.'s narrative is conceptualized in terms of the identity work that is required of all Canadians for Canada to live up to its official status as a multicultural country. In the analysis, I draw upon the philosophy of encounter, the concept of 'homemaking' and recent studies on relational integration. The paper engages empirically the meaning of relational integration in the context of everyday 'homemaking.' [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article, I examine portraits in Nigeria's banknotes offering an interpretive analysis of their significance with the purpose of espousing on existing knowledge. I believe the reading and interpretation of these portraits would provide a good communication and understanding of their socio-political and nationalistic properties. Located at the interface between visuality and society this paper discursively examines the repertoire of 10 portraits of Nigeria's 'nationalists'. My reading is based on nationalism, historiography, and iconology. The socio-political reflection in these portraits offers relevant clues to the current developments in Nigeria. Beyond being just images on the economic tool of money, the portraits act as indicators of Nigeria's socio-political formation and historical trajectory. Understanding this might help to improve politics and society in a multi-ethnic country like Nigeria. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article "Not male and female" discusses the abolition of hierarchical constructions in Galatians 3:28. The biblical text emphasizes that belonging to Christ overcomes all social distinctions and abolishes customary power and role distributions. It is pointed out that the vision of a united and reconciled world can be thought of in a society characterized by polarities without uniformity, but in appreciative recognition of diversity and plurality. The article examines the ambivalent attitude of Paul and his followers regarding gender difference and discusses the implications for contemporary church practice. It emphasizes that a return to the egalitarian approaches of early Christians is necessary to understand the message of Christianity again in its original power. [Extracted from the article]

Schools are an important setting wherein different identity dimensions are made available to youth. This paper argues that European identity can be a relevant unifying collective identity in ethnically diverse contexts. We study whether (or not) students who are confronted with a European and/or a multicultural dimension in their school curriculum, identify more strongly with a European identity. More specifically, we analyse whether the importance of these dimensions for European identification differs between a sample of ethnic majority and ethnic minority students. The results show that both the European and the multicultural curriculum predicted a stronger European identity for both groups. The effects of both dimensions on European identity were similar for ethnic majority students, while the multicultural dimension had significantly stronger effects on European identity for ethnic minority students. The paper thus highlights how curricula contribute to changing patterns of identification in a diversifying society. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

German in origin, the Bildungsroman is a novelistic genre that refers to narratives that deal with the process of formation and development of its protagonist from childhood to adolescence. The Bildungsroman has been evolving and adjusting itself to new historical, social and literary concerns and a significant shift seems to be taking place in the area of family dynamics, particularly in the case of immigrant Bildungsroman. The rise of feminist, post-colonial and minority studies during the 1980s and 1990s broadened the definition and approach to Bildungsroman resulting in unprecedented increase in female Bildungsroman. Many emerging post-colonial writers are women and have migrant backgrounds and their personal experiences of migration are translated into their works, which have come to serve as metaphors for identity reconstruction. Filial relationships, mother–daughter relationship in particular, are an important theme in ethnic female Bildungsroman The Woman Warrior (WW). This article examines how the mother–daughter relationship in female Bildungsroman The WW marks significant departures from the conventional Bildungsroman – how the protagonist reinscribes herself within her parents' culture by tracing the descent line of her Chinese–American, female, artistic self through her mother while at the same time reinscribing that culture into an American context; how the shared experience between Brave Orchid and her daughter as marginalized women in racist American society is used to forge an exalting relationship.

The article critically engages in teaching intercultural education in Poland--a country that is to a great extent homogenous in ethnic or religious terms. It starts with a brief overview of the complicated nature of intercultural education, followed by a case study of how intercultural education is studied and researched in Poland in a top academic journal dedicated to intercultural education. Quantitative content analysis shows that intercultural education is generally approached and unrelated to the local Polish context. The only exception is the borderland type of intercultural education. This leads to a conclusion that teaching intercultural education without a context--i.e. real-life experiences--proves to be a challenge in monocultural schools. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background and objectives: Urban regeneration is a clear mirror that reflects urban thinking and planning in every national system. This process in Iranian cities is quite different from the other cities in the world. Many factors have been important in this process, but a major issue was socio-cultural groups and nationalities like it has seen and studied at Montreal, Canada by author. The aim of this paper is to reconsider city sustainable development theory by analyzing urban regeneration processes with emphasis on cultural diversity or internal ethnic groups in Tehran. Methods: An analytical-qualitative framework is used to acquire an understanding of the specifications involved. Through impartial observations on two cities (Tehran and Montreal) over more than five years, this paper attempts to understand the effects of cultural-ethnic groups as social capitals on changing urban spaces. Findings: The results revealed that there are not any real multicultural cities in Iran and Tehran is a sample of local-internal multicultural city which its people are not serious social capitals or human forces in urban planning, implementation, and changes. Therefore, cultural capitals, which are consequential to urban regeneration process, as in the case of Montreal, have not been formed in Tehran. Conclusion: These findings may provide urban policy-makers in Iran and Tehran with social important facts for regeneration planning development, which helps to improve social capitals of cultural-ethnic groups.

The article discusses student teacher and her cooperating teacher facilitated a study of Animal Farm, a required text, in ways that connected to students' lives.

The article examines that the 20th century ended with two constitutional events as the two hundred years of the consecration of the liberal constitutions written in the United States of America and France and the emergence of the third constitutionalism or neo-constitutionalism in Latin America with the Constitutions of Brazil, Colombia, Peru and Venezuela. Topics include considered that constitution as the historic opportunity to transform and deconstruct the constitutional culture of political regeneration and its principles of exclusive and homogenizing national unity, confessionalism and state of siege, to build a new constitutional culture based on principles such as recognition of a multi-ethnic society, the secular state and the creation of a Social State of Law.

Student mobility is highly popular among the educational efforts directed at developing global competencies in management education. Yet, research that corroborates the assumed learning outcomes, particularly with respect to advancing multicultural competence, is inconclusive. Null-to-small effect sizes are often reported and are based on unidimensional assessments of multicultural competence that have limited our knowledge of the benefits of academic work abroad. Building on Earley and Ang's (2003) conceptualization of cultural intelligence (CQ), we test the effect of studying abroad on the metacognitive, cognitive, motivational, and behavioral dimensions of multicultural competence. Following a pretest-posttest design, we tracked 84 business students who completed academic coursework abroad. To isolate the effect of the sojourn, we controlled for individual and contextual variables that might influence learning outcomes. Results confirm the multidimensional nature of our dependent variable and indicate that studying abroad acts differently on its dimensions. While participants exhibited development of the cognitive-based components of the competence, studying abroad was innocuous in advancing participants' motivational and behavioral cultural intelligence. We discuss the theoretical implications of these outcomes in light of existing conceptualizations of multicultural competence, as well as their practical implications for academic efforts that seek to advance global competencies in management education.

The history of the British mosque charts a course through the twentieth century and the making of modern Britain, from colonial to postcolonial to multicultural and beyond. Through this period the concept of nationhood has evolved in response to the nation's new multi-racial realities. This think-piece asks; as a relatively new architectural typology in Britain, can the mosque both influence and challenge the prevailing post-war discourse of nationhood and belonging?

This article deals with the theoretical and methodological problems in any effort to conceptualize a model of multinational federalism. This is shown through an exemplary review of scholarly literature frequently ending up in nothing else but tautological regressions and/or ideologically driven dichotomizations of basic terms and concepts such as ethnic group, community, nationality, minority or (co-)nation when using these terms interchangeably, in particular, through combinations such as 'minority-nation', in order to get hold of the phenomenon of overlapping social, political and cultural diversities. These problems of conceptualization, symbolized through the perennial question 'What 'is' a nation or minority?' in order to be able to establish an allegedly objective or universal definition, are trapped in what I call the ethnic–civic–national oxymoron following from political theories of nationalism and liberalism based on normative-ontological approaches. In order to overcome the mentioned theoretical and methodological trap(s) based on the confusion of epistemology and ontology, this article argues for the necessity to overcome ideological dichotomizations through the method of triangulation. In the end, based on this method, I try to develop an institutional model of multicultural instead of multinational federalism which allows from the very beginning to take the empirical processes of ethnification and/or de-ethnification as major drivers for 'multiple diversity governance' into account. This de-construction of the concept of multinational federalism and the re-conceptualization of a model of multicultural federalism also allows to overcome the theoretical battles in power sharing literature between so-called accomodationists and integrationists, based on the dichotomization of their policy prescriptions.

Collection development at Monash University Library aims to fulfil the research and curriculum needs of university staff and students. To support the Faculty of Art, Design and Architecture (MADA), collection development operates as a collaboration between academic faculty and the Subject Librarian. In order to further develop this collaboration and to encourage the selection and use of design resources by authors from diverse backgrounds, design lecturers and library staff have initiated The Equity Collection project. The aim of the project is to investigate the diversity of the collection in its current state and to improve its ability to reflect and extend the multicultural nature of the university community. The project includes a campaign to collect and promote books from the design world authored by under-represented groups, including Indigenous Australians, people of colour, and female and non-binary authors. This project is unique in its utilisation of the expertise of the design faculty who have extensive knowledge of authors, small publishers and less widely distributed publications.

Literature illuminating the relationship between contemporary art and historical archives around the turn of the twenty-first century and how these interactions inform the evolution of archives in a digital multicultural age is the topic of this review. The literature reveals the extent to which art has been a means for members of marginalized groups to address their representation in historical archives, and also a means for archives to connect with a broader audience. Collaborations between artists and historical archives add new dimension to the debate about the nature of the archive as a creation in and of itself, and in turn the question of whether participatory culture may be a necessary component in achieving more complete representation of all segments of the community. Types of relationships explored in this review include: the questioning of and reimagining of the archive by artists, particularly those from marginalized groups; the blending of art and digital archives; and how such collaborations have informed the mission and practical concerns of archives. As digitization leads to increasing convergence of previously distinct cultural heritage collections and enthusiasm for participatory platforms accelerates, interactions between individual artists, people from marginalized communities, and GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives and museums) will continue to evolve and expand. From this literature review emerge observations about prior collaborations from around the world as they inform future developments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The hope for multicultural, culturally competent, and diverse perspectives in science education falls short if theoretical considerations of whiteness are not entertained. Since whiteness is characterized as a hegemonic racial dominance that has become so natural it is almost invisible, this paper identifies how whiteness operates in science education such that it falls short of its goal for cultural diversity. Because literature in science education has yet to fully entertain whiteness ideology, this paper offers one of the first theoretical postulations. Drawing from the fields of education, legal studies, and sociology, this paper employs critical whiteness studies as both a theoretical lens and an analytic tool to re-interpret how whiteness might impact science education. Doing so allows the field to reconsider benign, routine, or normative practices and protocol that may influence how future scientists of Color experience the field. In sum, we seek to have the field consider the theoretical frames of whiteness and how it might influence how we engage in science education such that our hope for diversity never fully materializes.

Abstract In this rejoinder we provide notes to consider when reviewing the research on the relationship between race, personality and crime. We concur with DeLisi (2017, this issue) that the equivocal nature of this research demands that there is a need for further inquiry. We also agree with Zuckerman (2002) that there is a distinction between personality disorders and crime but also that crime cannot be used as a proxy for personality disorders. We argue that the research suggests that there are no genetic components of personality disorder and also that this disorder has been found to be equally distributed across racial/ethnic groups. Understanding why there appears to be a racial/ethnic personality disorder disparity within the criminal justice system may be more a function of social class and historical circumstance than genetic composition.

There is no ethnography without a corresponding ethnographic sensibility. That is, the understanding and practice of ethnography as method, theory, and writing practice rests on the cultivation of a sense of the ethnographic as the lived expectations, complexities, contradictions, possibilities, and grounds of any given cultural group. Within anthropology, the articulation of an ethnographic sensibility has long been at the heart of our disciplinary project of documenting how people collectively organize, understand, and live in the world. As such, we consider ethnography both something to know and a unique way of knowing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Topics discussed include presentation of the first Russian "Hamlet" as "Gamlet" by Aleksandr Sumarokov in 1748 featuring multicultural heritage and articulating local concerns, Ophelia or Ofeliia occupying position articulating abuses of power and banishment of the feminine to the space-in-between.

Introduction. We present qualitative questionnaires, originally an ethnological method for documenting and collecting material about everyday life, as a fruitful method for information studies. Method. Since the early 20th century qualitative questionnaires, on various themes, have been sent out to informants. The answers to qualitative questionnaires consist of memories, opinions and experiences. Most archives working with questionnaires have regular informants who have enrolled because they are interested in sharing their knowledge of and views on everyday life. The paper starts with a brief presentation of the development of the method followed by a discussion about how answers to qualitative questionnaires may be analysed to benefit the most from the specifics of this tool. Examples from two studies based on material from the Mass Observation Archive, University of Sussex, and the Folklife Archives, Lund University, are introduced. The examples are chosen to illustrate two possible ways to adopt this method: to re-use an existing questionnaire and to create a new one. Conclusion. Qualitative questionnaires generate a rich material, useful for researchers from many disciplines. The material provided by the respondents is highly informative of various aspects of everyday life, past and present, and merits more attention from scholars. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The term "Asian American" emerged on college campuses in the 1960s to replace the term "Oriental." It was a political term, chosen by students to gather people from different ethnic communities under one pan-ethnic banner. We examine the representation of Asian American materials in the first twenty-one editions of the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) and discusses the findings in relation to the history of the term "Asian American." We aim to 1) relate existing literature on bias and knowledge organization to Asian American studies and critical race theories including the possessive investment in whiteness and racial formation; 2) compare the history of the term "Asian American" as a selfidentifying term to the evolution of the term in DDC; and 3) lay a historical foundation from which to consider the treatment of the term "Asian American" in the contemporary DDC and by extension other modern knowledge organization systems.

In the present study, we investigated two literature bases by way of a community survey across Australia. We investigated four acculturation orientations (assimilation, multiculturalism, color-blind, and polyculturalism ideologies) and the motivations to respond without prejudice. We examined what predicted support for Harmony Day as well as explicit discrimination. Multiculturalism, polyculturalism, and internal motivation to respond without prejudice correlated with positive attitudes in both scenarios. External motivation to respond without prejudice was positively correlated with discrimination. Conversely, color-blind ideology had no effect, and assimilation ideology related positively to explicit discrimination and negatively with Harmony Day. Using a multiple regression analysis, there was a difference in emphasis in different contexts. Our findings provide antiprejudice practitioners with material for discussions which can promote positive intergroup relations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The experience of mental pain among female suicide attempt survivors is an under-represented topic in suicide research. The present exploratory study examined the mental pain experience among a culturally diverse sample of four female suicide attempt survivors using in-depth interviews. The findings reveal several characteristic of the mental pain experience including despair, hopelessness, and emptiness. Although the participants came from multi-cultural backgrounds and suffered from different psychiatric disorders, similarities were found in the manner in which they described their pain. Results suggest unique characteristics of mental pain are shared across cultures and that mental pain may be distinguished from the psychiatric symptoms of mental disorders. This study evidences the importance of listening to life stories to gain understanding of the mental pain experience and to identify resilience factors that are present in the lives of female suicide attempt survivors interviewed. Implications for treatment intervention and further research are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study investigates the expression of modality in Kanakanavu, a critically endangered Formosan language spoken in southern Taiwan. We demonstrate that the language shows two independent systems of modality that are distinguished based on both semantic and formal properties. On the one hand, there are three modal expressions of possibility that semantically involve three paths of sense extension, and are morphosyntactically associated with three types of verb serialization. On the other hand, the language exhibits an epistemic-evidential system that involves four speaker-oriented adverbial expressions that occur in clause-initial position. We further show that there are variations among five Formosan languages concerning the sense extension of possibility expressions, and that a unique case of necessity-anticipative necessity-is shared by Kanakanavu, Tsou, Mayrinax Atayal, and Seediq. Typologically, the modal system in Kanakanavu shows a lack of alignment between event modality and epistemic modality, the latter exhibiting a stronger bond with evidentiality. This observed phenomenon is in sharp contrast to commonly found European/English-type modal systems in which the event-epistemic overlap is prevalent. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Overall, the access of ethnic minority populations to the health care system is modest due to several factors: patient-physician communication barriers, strikingly different interpretation of diseases, different conceptions of illness and health care, etc. The Roma minority in Romania is a vulnerable, discriminated population, which, when faced with disease, behaves according to traditional values and principles regarding the meaning of the disease and treatment that often differ from the views of the general population. The profession of health mediator was introduced so as to facilitate the access of the Roma population to the health care system, to facilitate the communication between health professionals and Roma groups and not in the least to facilitate the implementation of public health programs in Roma communities. As part of an European project we conducted an extensive qualitative study centered on perceptions and attitudes about death, chronic diseases, terminal stages and dignity preservation among the Roma population, in the context of health services. This paper aims to present ethical medical issues raised by Roma health mediators during their daily activities. The method for data collection was the focus group. We conducted group interviews with 30 of the Roma health mediators working in communities from Iasi and Cluj. The main issues discussed which interfered with medical ethics were: stigma and discrimination in the provision of health services, barriers in doctor-patient communication, failure by doctors to respond to patients' wishes regarding compliance to ethnic habits, maintaining the confidentiality of diagnosis compared to other Roma community, communicating a fatal diagnosis, the process of making medical decisions. These results pave the way towards achieving informative materials or organizing workshops in order to culturally adapt the medical approach of Roma patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article revisits the issue of historiography in Pentecostal studies, seeking to connect this debate to recent theories of history coming from postcolonial and poststructuralist thought. I argue that the historian of Pentecostalism should seek not only to reconstruct past events, but, more than that, to offer a historical analysis of Pentecostal historiography. By drawing on four related theoretical insights into history and applying them to a concrete example from Ethiopian Pentecostalism, I aim to contribute to the epistemological reflection of Pentecostal historiography.

Abstract: The literature on impact assessment (HIA) registers the importance of stakeholder participation in the assessment process, but still lacks a model for engaging stakeholders of diverse ethnic, professional and sectorial backgrounds. This paper suggests that the multicultural approach can contribute to HIA through a revision of the generic 5-step HIA model, and its implementation in a metropolitan plan in Southern Israel. The health issue scoped by the stakeholders in the HIA is related to land uses in the vicinity of the national hazardous industry and hazardous waste site. The stakeholders were representatives of the diverse populations at stake, including rural Bedouins and Jewish city dwellers, as well as representatives from the public sector, private sector, non-governmental organizations and academia. The case study revealed that a multicultural stakeholder participation process helps to uncover health issues known to the community which were not addressed in the original plan, and provides local knowledge regarding health conditions that is especially valuable when scientific data is uncertain or absent. It enables diverse stakeholders to prioritize the health issues that will be assessed. The case study also reveals ways in which the model needs revisions and improvements such as in recruitment of diverse participants. This paper presents a multicultural model of HIA and discusses some of the challenges that are faced when HIA is implemented in the context of current decision-making culture.

The increasing ethnic, cultural, and class diversity in the United States calls for a proactive approach in helping youth develop into socially competent adults. Youth in residential treatment may exhibit deficits in perspective-taking ability, social competence, and relationship skills, which are important outcomes of healthy diversity attitudes. For some, the milieu may be their first experience with youth of diverse backgrounds. However, little is known about this topic. The purpose of this study was to explore diversity awareness, attitudes, and skills of youth in residential treatment. The current study highlights the need for diversity education programs within treatment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The trend of globalization has led to a strong demand for the culture-specific or emic approach in scholarly research. It is the purpose of this paper to provide an opportunity for scholars to have their voices on the issues of indigenous scholarship. The paper consists of four essays examining the theme from four aspects, namely, the centrality of culture and communication, the Asiacentric communication paradigm, the development of Chinese communication theories, and an indigenous view of the study of resilience. It is hoped that the paper will contribute to the better understanding of indigenous scholarship and further provide a possible direction for the future investigation in this line of research.

The article discusses a trial undertaken in a LIS education program to help prepare students from different cultural backgrounds to work in virtual, multicultural work places. The focus of the trial was developing teamwork, which may now involve global, multicultural and virtual components, for which students need to be prepared, given work place changes of recent years. The trial took place in a school of information studies at a large, multi-campus rural university in Australia. The lecturer grouped students from an off-shore campus, with a different cultural background, with local students to work online on a group assignment. Evaluation involved an anonymous, web-based survey after all group assignments were completed. The survey explored the experiences of students regarding their group work in multicultural teams. The findings highlight the challenges of group work in fully online environments. They include language and cultural diversity, time zone spread and lack of face-to-face communication. Some of these challenges are likely to be replicated in the work place where multicultural team work is involved. Some of these challenges are likely to be replicated in the work place where multicultural team work is involved. Some suggestions to overcome these challenges are included at the end of the article.
