Disturbed by ‘the stranger’: state crafting remade through educational interventions and moralisations

This article addresses two questions. First, how does a state, in casu the Danish welfare state, based on universalism and social rights as regards its citizens, deal with immigrants and their descendants through education? Second, how does such a state manage to make its differential treatment of human beings work legitimately, that is, what arguments, what interventions and moralisations, are used through the workings of school education? The article carries out an analysis of policies since the 1980s and depicts the construction of ‘the stranger’ parallel to an analysis of the state crafting processes that go on in terms of professional educational interventions in Højmarken School, a school placed in an urban poor area.     

简论黔中汉语方言的历史形成

贵州自古以来便以土著民族居多,汉族人民是从内地迁徙而来,诸多的移民史材料证日月明清时期确大量的江南及江西等地的汉族移民进入黔中,从而也为黔中汉语方言的形成奠定了坚实的基础。作为黔中汉语方言的独特显现．“屯堡话”与明代移民的江南籍贯成分密不可分,而清代移民来源地的庞杂,又对明代移民官话有较大影响。作为维系明清时期移民交际的纽带,需要采用通行地域最广的语言才行,而这种语言很有可能便是在明代共同语及口语的基础上逐步发展而来。     

Equity,quality and commitment in education: Interview with Luis C. Moll

Abstract

Luis C. Moll, Puerto Rican by birth, is one of the most prominent researchers in Latino education in the United States. His avant-garde works on Hispanic children's linguistic development and bilingual literacy are well known and renowned for their implications in the research on the impact of culture and education on human development. He is also one of the most notable advocates of Vygotskian theory in the Hispanic world, and his labor in this field has played an important role as a meeting point between United States' and Hispanic scholars. This interview examines his formation as a researcher: the intention is to provide an account of his educational and human trajectory, as well as to relate those projects he is involved in at the moment and that can be considered the result of such trajectory.     

论高等教育政策的国际迁移

高等教育政策的国际迁移是高等教育政策和模式在国与国之间传播、改造、并在新的环境中使用的过程,表现为直接的模仿、批判地吸收、启发与创新等不同的形式和结果。政策的国际迁移是现代高等教育决策的一项重要特征,其有效实现有赖于对输出国与输入国高等教育发展的背景差异和共同要素的全面考察,以及对国际政策迁移的本土化适应的把握。     

Rights-Based Education for South Asian Sponsored Wives in International Arranged Marriages

The Family Class Category of Canada’s Immigration Policy exists with the key objective of family unification. Among Canada’s second largest immigrant group, the South Asians, the cultural practice of arranged marriage is applied across international borders, leading to spousal sponsorship. Existing research on South Asian sponsored wives suggests that they tend to misunderstand their rights as sponsored persons, as well as the rights and limitations of their sponsors. Misunderstandings may lead women to passively respond to sponsor-imposed barriers to integration. This paper builds a case for educating South Asian women about their sponsorship rights to assist them in recognizing and responding to rights violations. The paper presents an educational framework that would respond to their unique needs and vulnerabilities.     

文化人类学视野下的哀牢犁耙会

哀牢犁耙会原来以农业生产工具为交易活动的主体。客观生存环境条件和神话传说都说明,哀牢民族不是一个农业民族,而是渔猎民族。哀牢犁耙会并不具备哀牢文化的历史本质,而是汉族移民文化在与哀牢文化之间进行博弈的历史产物。哀牢犁耙会的文化本质是农业民族的岁时节日,反映的是农业生产生活方式的节律,体现的是农业文明的精神风貌。随着文化的变迁,哀牢犁耙会正在面临文化空巢的危机。     

多元视角下的中原姓氏入闽迁台研究

至今所见,中原姓氏入闽迁台之相关研究,在海峡两岸先后出现三个研究视角。先是福建地方史研究中涉及的中原姓氏入闽问题,此类研究,最早可追溯到南宋著名史学家郑樵等闽籍学者对福建民间家族再造中关于"闽祖光州固始"的回应。再是20世纪二三十年代兴起的跨区域移民史研究,尤其是闽台学者对闽南、客家姓氏祖地及姓氏播迁的溯源研究。然后是20世纪80年代,随着两岸关系缓和及闽台同胞寻根活动之开展,由豫、闽、台三地学者共同推动的两岸关系视角下的中原姓氏入闽迁台研究。由福建地方史向跨区域移民史和两岸关系研究视角之转移,总体上呈现为历史向文化演进的趋势。

Immigrant Families and Children (Re)Develop Identities in a New Context

Resolving conflicting linguistic traditions and struggling with new identities are significant challenges for immigrants to the United States. This case study introduces an immigrant mother from Mexico who renamed her youngest son on his first day of first grade to avoid the widespread stereotypes and academic stagnation experienced by her two older sons. Such (re)naming practices constitute and represent the very precarious social and institutional relationships taking place in schools involving immigrant children. In this case study, there was indication of negative aspects of assimilation processes taking place as the family adapted to a new culture and language. For example, the misconception is still widespread that efforts to learn two languages rather than just one diminish a child’s ability to learn other things, which should be learned. However, research in language acquisition and development, points to bilingualism and multilingualism as resources rather than deficits (Souto-Manning, 2006).     

Supporting Two Households: Unaccompanied Mexican Minors and Their Absences From U.S. Schools

This article illustrates simultaneous household participation in the lives of undocumented, unaccompanied Mexican teenage minors in New York City and its impact on their school attendance. Emigrating without parents, some Mexican youths arrive to enter into the labor market, not school. Unable to assume monetary dependence, these youths’ absences from New York classrooms is driven by financial participation in their natal households in Mexico and current New York City households. Drawing from fifty-three interviews with Mexican teenagers in Mexico and New York City, this article explores how these youth laborers learn to, understand and fulfill monetary obligations to two households.
