The benefits of ethnic activity group participation on older immigrant well-being and host country adjustment     

《Int J Intercult Relat》2020

Drawing on acculturation and social identity literatures, the present research extends on initial work on social group connectedness among older immigrants to examine in a quasi-experimental study the well-being benefits of participating in heritage culture groups. Older immigrant clients (N = 66) of six aged-care agencies in Australia were given diary booklets in which to complete a set of measures on selected days when they did or did not attend the agencies’ heritage culture group activities, over a 2-month period. Results showed that heritage group participation reduced loneliness and increased well-being. Future research should replicate and extend these findings to assist our understanding of how heritage culture group participation aids first-generation older immigrants with aging successfully in a foreign land.  相似文献   

An effective measure of childhood adversity that is valid with older adults     

《Child abuse & neglect》2018

Childhood adversity (CA) has life-long effects that we are just beginning to understand. The Midlife in the United States (MIDUS) data is a rich resource that could contribute to the knowledge of the impact of CA in the later years but, while a number of CA items are included in MIDUS, a cumulative CA scale based on those items has not been created. Development of a CA scale would create numerous research opportunities within MIDUS and overcome some of the challenges of using a secondary dataset. The present study aimed to demonstrate that a cumulative measure of CA that is valid with older adults could be created using retrospective MIDUS Refresher study data (Ryff et al., 2016); analysis included data collected from 2011 to 2014 from 2542 adults ages 23–76 (1017 adults 55–76). The present study provided a rationale for which measures of CA to include in a cumulative scale. The distribution of eight types of CA and the cumulative CA scale were consistent with findings from past studies of CA. The factor structure of the cumulative CA scale was similar to the original ACE study and included two factors: household dynamics and child abuse/neglect. Consistent with past studies, the CA scale predicted a negative association with life satisfaction and a positive association with number of chronic conditions. This study demonstrated that an effective cumulative measure of CA could be created that would be of value to other studies using MIDUS data to explore outcomes with older adults.  相似文献   

Racial contacts across the Pacific and the creation of minzoku in the Japanese empire     

Noriaki Hoshino 《Inter-Asia Cultural Studies》2016,17(2):186-205

Focusing on the work of the Japanese sociologist Koyama Eizō, this paper critically explores the development of Japanese race studies from the late 1920s to the 1940s. During this period, Japanese intellectual discourses on race developed in the context of the need to manage heterogeneous populations within the Japanese empire and contain the growing mobility of populations in and outside of the territory. Reflecting Koyama’s keen interest in racial/ethnic contacts and interdisciplinary perspectives, his intellectual work symptomatically exemplifies not only the convergence of knowledge production and the dominant imperial regime but also the transpacific implications of Japanese race studies. On the one hand, my study examines Koyama’s preoccupation with racial/ethnic contacts in relation to imperial security and also traces how his study intersected with the discourse of American social scientists who were also interested in Japanese migrations. On the other hand, the study examines how the development of the idea of minzoku in Koyama’s discourse coincided with contemporaneous attempts to mobilize diverse populations in the empire. Thus, my research reveals a complex dynamic of integration and differentiation in discourse on Japanese race studies in the interwar era.  相似文献

运用文献资料法和逻辑分析法,对晋陕蒙边界地区武术文化发展及成因进行研究.指出,该地区地处特殊的文化地理位置,形成了明显有别于农耕与游牧的半农半牧社会文化生态体系.伴随着两种文明的不断碰撞与交融,武术这一身体文化也在该地形成了独特的文化形态,并对摔跤、射箭和武术文化进行具体分析.对成因的探究显示,黄河是凝聚农耕思想的武术身体文化在晋陕蒙边界地区传播发展的根基与命脉,长期的民族冲突为武术技击的传承与发展提供了动力,移民则是武术文化在该地区传播的载体.  相似文献   

王安忆小说中的移民书写     

滕朝军 《哈尔滨学院学报》2004,25(6):66-69

外来移民(主要指来自国内各地的务工人员)对于上海的城市发展来说,是一股不可忽视的力量。可以说,上海百年来的发展史,其实就是一部移民史。作为上海作家,从创作初期开始,王安忆就一直关注着身边的这一特殊群体。自80年代的《鸩雀一战》、《好婆和李同志》到2000年的《富萍),王安忆的移民书写逐步体现出一种对上海由“认同”到“背离”的写作姿态。文章拟对这三部作品中的主人公小妹阿姨、李同志和富萍三个具有典型意义的移民人物形象进行分析,来梳理王安忆这种书写姿态的转变,以探寻这种转变背后所蕴含的丰富文化内涵。  相似文献   

商洛"下户人"管窥   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

姚怀亮 《商洛学院学报》2007,21(1):12-18

明末兵劫之后,清初康、乾年间在"招垦"政策的鼓励下,大量的东南客籍流民将商洛作为自已家族心目中理想的迁居之地,历史上民间流传的"湖广填陕西"的说法由此可窥全豹.本史根据地方志资料和迄今仍然保留于商洛各地移民先祖们的墓碑铭文,可以清楚地看到"下户人"当年的移民史实,旨在考察明、清交替之际,地方经济和社会恢复与发展的历史与轨迹,及民俗文化中的地缘结构因素的变动、异化和融合.  相似文献

‘I'm not going to be in Japan forever’: how Filipina immigrant youth in Japan construct the meaning of home     

《Ethnography and Education》2013,8(2):179-193

This article, based on an ethnographic study of five Filipino-born daughters of Filipina migrant workers in Japan, discusses how these young women construct understandings of home as they navigate the borderlands between the Philippines, Japan and the US. The study reveals the ways in which these young women negotiate the possibilities and constraints of their homeland in the Philippines, their new land of Japan and an imagined future home in the US. Their senses of safety, economic security, community and cultural/linguistic affirmation all affected how they understand these countries as potential and possible homes. The study reveals how these youth search for and build homes across multiple spaces and the struggles they encounter within that search.  相似文献
