Under such a scenario, biculturalism exists. The essays in this volume offer fresh theoretical and methodological insights into biculturalism as an existing reality in many socieities. The authors present a variety of methodological strategies and techniques case studies, autoethnography, content analysis, participant observation, the national survey, and structured and unstructured interviews. Whereas some essays provide a brief history as a point of reference to aid the reader in understanding how and why biculturalism began and persists the beginning of biculturalism, others do not.All essays, whether written from social science or humanity perspectives, give the readers a glimpse into the bicultural world of a particular people or group. Hence, biculturalism is presented as it illustrates the world of the following: a female African American intellectual; German, Koreans, and Japanese immigrants, Koreans; South Asians; two autoethnographic bicultural case studies; issues of identity and biculturalism among Asians, Native Americans, whites, and African Americans in the U.S.; and, a content analysis of Spanish language programs for children, and essays analyzing biculturalism among Jewish Americans and African Americans, and a critique of Ralph Ellison's bicultural imperatives.Many of the essays will analyze class, ethnic, and gender issues as they relate to the idea of biculturality. The essays in this volume relate the bicultural experience and remind the reader that this bicultural experience may connect to ideas of acculturation, assimilation, marginality, identity, ambivalence, super-ordinate, sub-ordination, and issues related to insiders and outsiders, but a crucial theme in biculturalism is the existence of two cultural streams and the fact that individuals and groups may, over time, operate in both streams, and deftly move within and between each, as opportunities present themselves. 410 0$aResearch in race and ethnic relations ;$vv. 15. 606 $aBiculturalism 606 $aSelf-perception 606 $aSocial change 606 $aEthnic minorities & multicultural studies$2bicssc 606 $aSocial Science$xDiscrimination & Race Relations$2bisacsh 606 $aSocial Science$xSocial Classes$2bisacsh 615 0$aBiculturalism. 615 0$aSelf-perception. 615 0$aSocial change. 615 7$aEthnic minorities & multicultural studies. 615 7$aSocial Science$xDiscrimination & Race Relations. 615 7$aSocial Science$xSocial Classes. 676 $a327 701 $aDennis$b Rutledge M$01506925 801 0$bMEAUC 801 1$bMEAUC 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bZJC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777932003321 996 $aBiculturalism, self identity and societal transformation$93737355 997 $aUNINA
