The proof for this can be found in ethnographic accounts where contrasts are repeatedly drawn between the encompassing realm and everyday life or in value systems which sumultaneously trivialise and aggrandise or in shifts between what pertains to the general or to the particular.ASA Decennial Conference Series: The Uses of KnowledgeEthnologyPhilosophyCultureKnowledge, Sociology ofEthnologyPhilosophy.Culture.Knowledge, Sociology of.306/.01Strathern Marilyn483976Association of Social Anthropologists of the Commonwealth.Conference(4th :1993 :Oxford, England)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910958510003321Shifting contexts4483125UNINA05000nam 2200925Ia 450 991097047890332120251116150841.0978661276317597812827631731282763172978052093849605209384969781598757835159875783010.1525/9780520938496(CKB)1000000000030787(EBL)239225(OCoLC)475950359(SSID)ssj0000360169(PQKBManifestationID)12132268(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000360169(PQKBWorkID)10326233(PQKB)10479595(SSID)ssj0000156172(PQKBManifestationID)11147287(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000156172(PQKBWorkID)10134197(PQKB)11485709(MiAaPQ)EBC239225(DE-B1597)520252(OCoLC)61730540(DE-B1597)9780520938496(Au-PeEL)EBL239225(CaPaEBR)ebr10088444(CaONFJC)MIL276317(Perlego)552545(EXLCZ)99100000000003078720041213d2005 ub 0engurnn#---|u||utxtccrFluid borders Latino power, identity, and politics in Los Angeles /Lisa Garc?ia Bedolla1st ed.Berkeley University of California Pressc20051 online resource (293 p.)Description based upon print version of record.9780520243699 0520243692 9780520243682 0520243684 Includes bibliographical references and index.Front matter --Contents --Illustrations --Acknowledgments --1.

Fluid Borders: Latinos, Race, and American Politics --Appendix A: Study Respondents --Appendix B: Interview Questionnaire --Notes --Bibliography --IndexThis provocative study of the Latino political experience offers a nuanced, in-depth, and often surprising perspective on the factors affecting the political engagement of a segment of the population that is now the nation's largest minority. Drawing from one hundred in-depth interviews, Lisa García Bedolla compares the political attitudes and behavior of Latinos in two communities: working-class East Los Angeles and middle-class Montebello. Asking how collective identity and social context have affected political socialization, political attitudes and practices, and levels of political participation among the foreign born and native born, she offers new findings that are often at odds with the conventional wisdom emphasizing the role socioeconomic status plays in political involvement. Fluid Borders includes the voices of many individuals, offers exciting new research on Latina women indicating that they are more likely than men to vote and to participate in political activities, and considers how the experience of social stigma affects the collective identification and political engagement of members of marginal groups. This innovative study points the way toward a better understanding of the Latino political experience, and how it differs from that of other racial groups, by situating it at the intersection of power, collective identity, and place.Hispanic AmericansCaliforniaLos AngelesInterviewsWorking classCaliforniaLos AngelesInterviewsHispanic AmericansCaliforniaLos AngelesPolitics and governmentHispanic AmericansCaliforniaLos AngelesEthnic identityHispanic AmericansCaliforniaLos AngelesSocial conditionsSocial classesCaliforniaLos AngelesPower (Social sciences)CaliforniaLos AngelesLos Angeles (Calif.)Politics and governmentLos Angeles (Calif.)Social conditionsHispanic AmericansWorking classHispanic AmericansPolitics and government.Hispanic AmericansEthnic identity.Hispanic AmericansSocial conditions.Social classesPower (Social sciences)979.4/9400468García Bedolla Lisa1969-1162245MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910970478903321Fluid borders4532060UNINA
