As the field grows, there is a pressing need to understand the smaller and more recent immigrant communities. Emerging Voices fills this gap with its unique and compelling discussion of underrepresented groups, including Burmese, Indonesian, Mong, Hmong, Nepalese, Romani, Tibetan, and Thai Americans. Unlike the earlier and larger groups of Asian immigrants to America, many of whom made the choice to emigrate to seek better economic opportunities, many of the groups discussed in this volume fled war or political persecution in their homeland. Forced to make drastic transitions in America with little physical or psychological preparation, questions of ?why am I here,? ?who am I,? and ?why am I discriminated against,? remain at the heart of their post-emigration experiences. Bringing together eminent scholars from a variety of disciplines, this collection considers a wide range of themes, including assimilation and adaptation, immigration patterns, community, education, ethnicity, economics, family, gender, marriage, religion, sexuality, and work. 606 $aSouth Asian Americans$xSocial conditions 606 $aSouth Asian Americans$xEthnic identity 606 $aSouth Asian Americans$xCultural assimilation 606 $aSoutheast Asian Americans$xSocial conditions 606 $aSoutheast Asian Americans$xEthnic identity 606 $aSoutheast Asian Americans$xCultural assimilation 606 $aGroup identity$zUnited States 606 $aSex role$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSouth Asian Americans$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aSouth Asian Americans$xEthnic identity. 615 0$aSouth Asian Americans$xCultural assimilation. 615 0$aSoutheast Asian Americans$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aSoutheast Asian Americans$xEthnic identity. 615 0$aSoutheast Asian Americans$xCultural assimilation. 615 0$aGroup identity 615 0$aSex role 676 $a305.891/4073 701 $aLing$b Huping$f1956-$0900097 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454410003321 996 $aEmerging voices$92492033 997 $aUNINA LEADER 06388oam 2201477Ia 450 001 9910782017603321 005 20240102235746.0 010 $a0748631879$b(electronic bk.) 010 $a9780748631872$b(electronic bk.) 010 $a1281785792 010 $a9781281785794 010 $a0748628088 010 $a9780748628087 010 $a9780748653065 010 $a0748653066 010 $z0748628096$b(Paper) 010 $z0748628088$b(Cloth) 010 $z9780748628087$b(hbk.) 010 $z9780748628094$b(pbk.) 010 $a9786611785796 010 $a6611785795 024 3 $a9780748628087 035 $a(OCoLC)270110461$z(OCoLC)235984568$z(OCoLC)299572704$z(OCoLC)437233410$z(OCoLC)608147656$z(OCoLC)663421321$z(OCoLC)712992274$z(OCoLC)815690676$z(OCoLC)958506083$z(OCoLC)961505602$z(OCoLC)962630759$z(OCoLC)967259046$z(OCoLC)967584120$z(OCoLC)988519558$z(OCoLC)992073044$z(OCoLC)1037761093$z(OCoLC)1038617492$z(OCoLC)1045512577$z(OCoLC)1153456766$z(OCoLC)1157109321$z(OCoLC)1157965506$z(OCoLC)1162467861$z(OCoLC)1178675153$z(OCoLC)1238611546$z(OCoLC)1242748617 035 $a(OCoLC)ocn270110461 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC364822 035 $a(DE-B1597)614489 035 $a(OCoLC)1302163879 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780748631872 035 $a(CKB)1000000000533967 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000533967 100 $a20080125h20082008 ky 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurzn||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aChristmas, ideology and popular culture /$fedited by Sheila Whiteley 210 1$aEdinburgh :$cEdinburgh University Press,$d2008. 210 4$a©2008 215 $a1 online resource ([ix], 222 pages) $cillustrations 311 08$aPrint version: Christmas, ideology and popular culture.

What does it mean? This book is a lively introduction to the study of popular culture through one central case study. It explores the cultural, social and historical contexts of Christmas in the UK, USA and Australia, covering such topics as fiction, film, television, art, newspapers and magazines, war, popular music and carols. Chapters explore the ways in which the production of meaning is mediated by the social and cultural activities surrounding Christmas (watching Christmas films, television, listening or engaging with popular music and carols), its relationship to a set of basic values (the idealised construct of the family), social relationships (community), and the ways in which ideological discourses are used and mobilised, not least in times of conflict, terrorism and war. Key Features Offers an incisive account of the ways in which Christmas relates to social change, and how such recent events as 9/11 and the conflict in Iraq focus attention on traditional themes of community and family. Case studies include A Christmas Carol, Coca-colonisation and Santa Claus, Victorian cartoons and Christmas cards, Dr Who and 'Happy Christmas (War is Over)' Includes 18 B & W illustrations. 606 $aChristmas in popular culture 606 $aChristmas$xSociological aspects 606 $aChristmas$xPolitical aspects 606 $aChristmas in motion pictures 606 $aCarols, English 606 $aChristmas shopping 606 $aChristmas shopping$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00859862 606 $aChristmas in popular culture$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01902789 606 $aCarols, English$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00847734 606 $aChristmas in motion pictures$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00859828 615 0$aChristmas in popular culture. 615 0$aChristmas$xSociological aspects. 615 0$aChristmas$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aChristmas in motion pictures. 615 0$aCarols, English. 615 0$aChristmas shopping. 615 7$aChristmas shopping. 615 7$aChristmas in popular culture. 615 7$aCarols, English. 615 7$aChristmas in motion pictures. 676 $a394.2663 700 $aWhiteley$b Sheila, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01428896 702 $aWhiteley$b Sheila$f1941-2015, 801 0$bCDX 801 1$bCDX 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bN$T 801 2$bYDXCP 801 2$bIDEBK 801 2$bEBLCP 801 2$bSNK 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bE7B 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bOTZ 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bN$T 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bAUW 801 2$bJSTOR 801 2$bOCLCE 801 2$bDEBSZ 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bCOO 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bNLGGC 801 2$bMERUC 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bWAU 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bAZK 801 2$bOCLCF 801 2$bYDX 801 2$bUKOUP 801 2$bMOR 801 2$bPIFAG 801 2$bZCU 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bIOG 801 2$bEZ9 801 2$bOCL 801 2$bSTF 801 2$bWRM 801 2$bVTS 801 2$bNRAMU 801 2$bICG 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bLVT 801 2$bDKC 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bUKCRE 801 2$bAGLDB 801 2$bVLY 801 2$bUKAHL 801 2$bAJS 801 2$bNLW 801 2$bUKMGB 801 2$bOCLCO 912 $a9910782017603321 996 $aChristmas, ideology and popular culture$93712403 997 $aUNINA
