Kootenay - Ethnic Groups - Chinese Introduction This was partly due to the fact that the Chinese were not welcomed into the European community and partly because they were still strongly connected to their homeland. Due to mainstream intolerance, Chinese people were not welcome to live in the white neighbourhoods, thereby perpetuating feelings of ethnic differences.

Chinese surname Unlike European practice in which some surnames are obviously noble, Chinese emperors and members of the royal family had regular surnames except in cases where they came from non-Han ethnic groups. A Chinese surname, also called a clan name or family name (, pinyin: xìng; or 氏, shi), is one of the over seven hundred family names used by Han Chinese and Sinicized Chinese ethnic groups. From ethnic groups: Non-Chinese peoples in China sometimes took the name of their ethnic group as surname. www.free-download-soft.com /info/unix-internet-misc-ax25-apps.html   (2074 words)

Serbia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Vojvodina is probably the most ethnically diverse territory in Europe, excepting London, a fact which tends to surprise most people who only know of Serbia through the prism of the 1990s. The Dayton agreement foresaw a unitary Bosnian state consisting of ethnic enclaves (See Republika Srpska). In the second half of 19th century, Serbia was integrated into the constellation of European states and the first political parties were founded thus giving new momentum to political life. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Serbia   (2074 words)

Centre for  Russian and East European Studies The Serbs constitute the ethnic majority in 32 of the 45 municipalities of Vojvodina ( accounting for 56.8 % of the region’s total population) but are characterised by an internal fragmentation, as a community. I plan to spend up to six months in Vojvodina conducting semi-structured elite interviews with local political representatives, individuals employed in local NGOs, academics, and journalists coming mostly from within the Serbian community but also from the ethnic minorities ( the Hungarians in particular). Specific reference will be made to Hungarian political organisations in Vojvodina that view autonomy from either a more "civic"/regional, or a more ethnic perspective. www.crees.bham.ac.uk /study/postgraduate/petsinisresoutline.htm   (2074 words)

Tanzania Trip The scene was chaotic as several groups prepared to begin the trek: personal packs were prepared, equipment organized, everyone had to sign in with the park official, pictures were taken, and group lines formed on the trail. European explorers (notably Richard Burton and John Speke) and missionaries (notably David Livingstone) brought reports that encouraged colonization. One of the most intriguing geological features of Tanzania is the twelve mile wide Ngorongoro Crater, one of the largest calderas in the world and a geological Noah’s Ark—an enclosed ecosystem where wildlife abounds because there is a consistent water supply, grasslands, and animals of prey. www.pigseye.com /hj/foreign/tanzania   (9119 words)

06.htm First, the term "race" was used as a means of distinguishing among various groups, which we now commonly call "ethnic" or "ancestral" groups, including the various ancestral groups of European peoples. The point is not whether they were "correct," as a matter of modern anthropological science, in referring to Anglo-Saxon, Chinese, French, Italian, Mexican, and Spanish ethnic groups as "races." The point is that they did so,(10) and [*19] their usage of the term "race" is persuasive evidence of the common understanding of the times. That is not to say that Congress included ethnic or national origin groups within the class to be protected by Section 1981 simply because the available vocabulary made [*16] their exclusion impossible. www.yale.edu /lawweb/avalon/curiae/html/481-604/old/06.htm   (3091 words)

PopulationBullAmericaRace&Ethnic Some analysts believe that the racial and ethnic minorities of contemporary America will follow the path of European immigrant groups; they will eventually assimilate into the wider society and lose their minority status. America's ethnic landscape also includes a rapidly growing Arab population, a sizeable Jewish population, and other ethnic groups. During the last decade of the century, ethnic and religious differences have led to massacres of ethnic Tutsis by Hutus in Rwanda; full-scale war involving Serb, Bosnian, Albanian, and other ethnic groups in the Balkans; and violence against ethnic Chinese in Indonesia. www.faculty.fairfield.edu /faculty/hodgson/RussiaDiversity/PBRaceEthnicity/PBRaceEthnicity.html   (3091 words)

Stability Pact: WT1 Media Task Force Document The population structure of the countries of South-East Europe is characterised by often extremely complex patterns or mosaics of distinct cultural, linguistic, religious and other groups or communities, often referred to as ethnic groups and communities or minorities. These two objectives have to be seen in conjunction: multi-ethnic and multi-cultural society must be firmly rooted in a common effort to promote democratic values, especially equal citizenship rights and the equal empowerment of all citizens for sharing responsibility for the life of the country as a whole. In fact, the project seeks to advance what may be called a model of society based on European values and principles, as set out in the legal and political standards of the Council of Europe and the OSCE as well as the Copenhagen criteria for the enlargement of the European Union. www.stabilitypact.org /humanrights/000306-strasbourg.asp?&printable   (3075 words)

United States - Open Encyclopedia Americans, in part due to categories decided by the U.S. government, generally describe themselves as being either multi-ethnic or one of five ethnic groups: White, sometimes called European-American or Caucasian; African-American, also called Black; Hispanic, also called Latino; Asian-American, frequently specified as Korean-American, etc.; and Native American, also called American Indian. The Republicans generally receive more funding and support from business groups, religious Christians and Jews, and rural Americans, while the Democratic party receives more support from labor unions and minority ethnic groups. The majority of the 290 million people currently living in the United States descend from European immigrants who have arrived since the establishment of the first colonies. open-encyclopedia.com /United_States   (3261 words)

Lists of traditional Lithuanian place names (exonyms) of the ethnic areas of the Balts (in Lithuanian) Besides it is important to remember that many times Jews used different place names, either because they spoke a Jewish language (Yiddish, Ladino, Jewish Arabic etc.) or because they preferred variants which are not necessarily identical with current toponymics. www.bh.org.il /Genealogy/placeNames.aspx   (3261 words)

U.S. Ethnic Studies Minor This academic minor focuses on the comparative study of race and ethnicity in the United States as it uniquely intersects with the international context (with special emphasis on those groups that have historically borne the brunt of discrimination, enslavement and even extermination in the process of European expansion in the Americas). To that end, the minor provides access to a range of analytical tools with which to examine the histories, experiences and cultures of America's racial and ethnic groups and their relationships to each other and to the dominant culture. The comparative focus assumes that there are general processes that underlie the formation of ethnic identity and "race" relations in a wide range of social contexts. www.hartwick.edu /x6541.xml   (367 words)

Alliance: The Origins Of The Indo-Europeans I believe the Hittite language, while classified as Indo European, has other elements that make no sense if one considers it to have an IE base...it's thought that this means the Hittites must have arrived in Anatolia much earlier than the Greeks and other IE groups. Modern Europeans are divided into two basic racial groups: Nordics, who have light complexions and hair color, and the darker Mediterranean type (Greeks, Italians, Iberians, etc.). In my opinion the Mediterranean group moved first, and used ships, because all of the ethnic groups descended from them live on or near seashores. www.pritani.com /alliance/indo-european.html   (367 words)

FIRM - Discussions - February 6, 2000 - March 4, 2000 I notice that you do not mention Jews under religious groups or ethnic groups who have endured mean or derogatory presentations in film, and I wonder why that is and why you are so quick to assume that anyone described as anti-Semitic faced professional retribution because of this. You are right to be concerned about the images of many American ethnic groups and how they have been portrayed and stereotyped in films.

Stand: Defining Digital Freedoms In The UK We commissioned wider research which involved both focus groups and polling which confirmed, as independent polling has done, 80% of the general public were in favour of identity cards, including comparable levels of support among the four main minority ethnic groupings. We are unsurprised that, in a piece of legislation considered too draconian for most European countries and rushed through our Parliament with little debate, the government would like to prevent effective oversight of the length of time for which data may be retained. Civil liberties groups and privacy campaigners have called upon David Blunkett to shelve his plans for a national identity card in the wake of today's damning report from the Home Affairs Select Committee. www.stand.org.uk   (9418 words)

African American - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In 2004, African American workers had the second-highest median earnings of American minority groups after Asian Americans, and African Americans had the highest level of male-female income parity of all ethnic groups in the United States [4]. Although in the same year African Americans were over-represented among the nation's poor, this was directly related to the disproportionate percentage of African American families headed by single women; such families are collectively poorer, regardless of ethnicity [9]. However, when Reconstruction ended in 1877, southern, European American landowners reinstituted a regime of disenfranchisement and racial segregation, and with it a wave of terror and repression, including lynchings and other vigilante violence. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/African_American   (4387 words)

The Flag Institute - Bosnia & Herzegovina De jure Bosnia and Herzegovina was a multi-ethnic state, but de facto it was ruled by Moslems, due to the boycott of Croats and Serbs.

ETHNIC GROUP POLITICS A critical question is the extent to which the frameworks social scientists have developed for understanding the role of ethnicity and politics through the analysis of European immigrant groups is equally relevant which considering African- Americans and Asian-Americans. Next we examine the concepts of ethnicity and race in the United States through the different experiences of European-Americans, African- Americans, and Asian-Americans. Given the large number of conflicts both within and between states which are defined in terms of ethnicity and race it is important to understand how ethnicity serves as a basis of identification and political action. www.isanet.org /sections/enm/rossec.htm   (2293 words)
