In the Shadows of the Big House: Twenty-First-Century Antebellum Slave Cabins and Heritage Tourism in Louisiana
In the midst of calls for the removal of Confederate monuments across the South, tens of thousands of museums, buildings, and other historical sites currently comprise a tourist infrastructure of the southern heritage industry. Louisiana, one of the most prominent and frequently visited states that benefit from this tourism, has more than sixty heritage sites housed in former slave plantations. These sites contain the remains, restorations, recon…
Theorizing People of Mixed Race in the Pacific and the Atlantic
The most extensive theoretic and empirical studies of people of mixed racial descent extant today have addressed nations across the Atlantic. This article reveals how this literature on people of mixed racial descent is limited in its claims to represent a “global model”. In contrast, we argue that by juxtaposing institutional factors in the Atlantic region and Japan we can expand our understanding of people of mixed racial descent across a far w…
Slavery and Public History at the Big House: Remembering and Forgetting at American Plantation Museums and British Country Houses
This article considers the public history of slavery at plantation museums in the US South and at country houses in Britain. Drawing on original research, the authors critique recent and current efforts to bring connections between these “Big Houses” and the history of slavery to the fore through different methods of interpretation. These elite residences are argued to have largely obscured such connections historically through distancing, distor…
Confederate Monuments, Plantation-Museums and Slavery: Race, Public History, and National Identity
My primary focus in this article is on sixteen slave cabins incorporated into three heritage tourism sites in Natchitoches, North West Louisiana. The sites are Oakland Plantation, Magnolia Plantation and Melrose Plantation. How is national identity expressed and articulated at these sites; and how does consideration of slave cabins provide opportunities for highlighting and questioning issues of national identity? I seek to persuade the reader th…
Theorizing visibility and vulnerability in Black Europe and the African diaspora
Europe is comprised of at least 46 nations with an estimated population of at least 770 million, a black population of more than 7 million, over 90% of whom live in just 12 nations. The black population in each nation reveals distinct differences, including national, religious and ethnic origins and gender dynamics. They also have striking similarities in their ambiguous visibility and endemic vulnerability; in political and scholarly explanation…
Living cargo: How Black Britain performs its past
Slavery
Slavery is a political, legal, and economic system under which people are treated as property. Slavery was typically institutionalized by the state. Slavery, we are often told, existed in all nations and at all times. From ancient Greece and Rome, to China and Korea; from medieval Europe to the Middle East, Africa and across the Americas. Many say that it still exists today in the form of so‐called “modern slavery.” The nature of slavery has vari…
Artifacts and allegiances: How Museums Put the Nation and the World on Display

Race and Power: Global Racism in the Twenty First Century
Culture, structure and black youth diversity
This review identifies some of the many strengths of this book, and some of the ways in which a greater focus on gender, cultural and linguistic diversity, among Black youth would lead to a more compelling analysis
Race and Power: Global racism in the twenty-first century
Reviewing cutting-edge debates around racial politics and the culture and economy of globalization, this book draws together a wide range of important contemporary debates in a clear and concise way for undergraduate students. Far from concluding that racism is over, the authors contend that the forces of globalization inhabit older cultures of racial division in order to safeguard the economic interests of the privileged. Arguing that the unspok…
Social Mobilization and the Public History of Slavery in the United States
Racialised Barriers: The Black Experience in the United States and England in The 1980's
Global Mixed Race
"Patterns of migration and the forces of globalization have brought the issues of mixed race to the public in far more visible, far more dramatic ways than ever before. Global Mixed Race examines the contemporary experiences of people of mixed descent in nations around the world, moving beyond US borders to explore the dynamics of racial mixing and multiple descent in Zambia, Trinidad and Tobago, Mexico, Brazil, Kazakhstan, Germany, the United Ki…
Still Back of the Big House: Slave Cabins and Slavery in Southern Heritage Tourism
A massive tourist infrastructure on southern heritage extends across the US South and a significant component of it focuses on nineteenth-century slavery. Southern heritage tourism reveals irrepressible dimensions of racialization, inextricably mediated by gender and class, and highlights the primary influence of the state. Many tourist sites are housed in former slave plantations and some contain the remains, restorations, reconstructions or rep…

Esclavage, colonialisme et représentations muséales en Grande-Bretagne: Anciens et nouveaux circuits de migration
Historiquement, la plupart des musées en Grande-Bretagne ont eu pour fonction de soutenir la fierté nationale et de glorifier la culture britannique, en exposant toute une gamme d’objets amassés au cours de la période coloniale. L’accroissement des populations d’origine immigrée sur le territoire britannique remet en cause ces pratiques muséales. Un chercheur engagé dans le débat sur les réparations symboliques décrypte les rapports complexes ent…
Sexual Identity Confusion and Problem Behaviors in Adolescents: A Risk and Resilience Approach
Sexual identity confusion can add to the stress of adolescence. We used gender development, identity formation, and risk/resilience theories to study factors that protect sexually confused youth from risks (e.g., suicidal thoughts, substance use, delinquency). This exploratory study was based on a large, representative sample: 2.4% (n = 299) of students were confused about their sexual identity. From the original sample, a random subsample (n = 2…
The Cultural Education of Academic Evaluators: Lessons from a University‐Hmong Community Partnership
This article explores some of the lessons a university‐based evaluation team learned while attempting to hire, retain, and work with staff members from a local Hmong community. These staff members were hired to assist a federally‐funded community collaborative with implementing and evaluating a family strengthening program for Hmong families with adolescents. Over the course of two years, a succession of individuals were hired and resigned from a…
Race, Immigration and Politics in Britain: Changing Policy Agendas and Conceptual Paradigms 1940s–2000s
This article provides a description and interpretation of a series of key issues, debates and questions around immigration and race in Britain between the 1940s and the early 2000s. We highlight these issues and characterize some of the major theoretical models (and concepts) that have been deployed to interpret and explain them. Our primary concern here is with the main policies that helped to construct and frame immigration policies and the key…
The Influence of Parental Support, Knowledge, and Authoritative Parenting on Hmong and European American Adolescent Development
This study used a community-wide survey of adolescents to compare adolescent perceptions of parental support, knowledge, and authoritative decision making in samples of Hmong and European Americans. Additional analyses considered variation in parental influence on adolescent outcomes across these groups. The results suggested that Hmong American youth perceived less parental support and knowledge and were less likely to report authoritative decis…

An Ecological, Risk-Factor Examination of Adolescents' Sexual Activity in Three Ethnic Groups
DANIEL F. PERKINS University of Florida This study examines the extent to which the ecological, risk-factor approach for studying sexual activity in samples of mostly European Americans is useful for explaining adolescent sexual activity in three ethnic groups. We hypothesized that as exposure to risk factors increased, so would the likelihood of sexual activity in all the ethnic groups. Ethnic and gender differences in the relationship between r…
Adolescent Sexual Activity: An Ecological, Risk-Factor Approach
Understanding the factors that influence an adolescent's decision to have sexual intercourse has important implications for theory, policy and practice. Because sexual intercourse is the single most important determinant of pregnancy, a fuller understanding of the factors related to heterosexual sexual activity is central to addressing the issue of teenage pregnancy. In addition, the current AIDS epidemic, along with the proliferation of other di…

Factors Associated with Sexual Risk-Taking Behaviors among Adolescents
The author examines factors which distinguish between sexually active adolescents who are at risk for pregnancy and for sexually transmitted diseases and sexually active teens who are at lower risk for these outcomes. Study findings are based upon a representative survey of 2567 13-19 year-olds in twelve school districts in four rural Midwestern counties. This number accounts for 89% of all students who were present on the day the survey was admi…
Family Relations and the Self-Esteem of Adolescents and Their Parents
Previous research, especially that of Gecas and Schwalbe (1986), relating adolescent self- esteem to parental support, control, and participation is extended in the present investigation, which examines the effects of parent-adolescent communication and investigates dimensions of parent-adolescent interaction that predict parents' self-esteem. The findings suggest that (a) adolescents and their parents have similar but distinct perceptions of the…

Action-Oriented Research: Models and Methods
In recent years there has been a growing interest in research approaches that can better inform policy and practice and lead to social action. This article describes four models of research: action, participatory, empowerment, and feminist research. The historical roots, epistemological assumptions, agendas, and methodological strategies of each are discussed. Common features and distinguishing characteristics are examined. The article concludes …
Toward a Multidimensional Assessment of Work Spillover into Family Life
The purpose of the present study is threefold. First, it presents evidence for the construct validity and internal reliability of a new multidimensional measure of work spillover. Second, it provides some insight into three processes by which work can affect an individual's personal and family life (i.e., time, energy, and psychological interference). Finally, the present study examines four primary nonwork role contexts (i.e., the parent-child r…

Racialised relations in Liverpool: A contemporary anomaly
The city of Liverpool stands out as an anomaly in the mapping of ‘racialised relations’ and the black experience in England. While it shares a number of continuities with other cities, it reveals several structural and cultural features which are absent or significantly at variance with patterns elsewhere. These include extreme residential segregation, a powerful white local sentiment and insular identity, and extremely virulent ‘racialised’ host…

In search of personality traits: A multimethod analysis of naturally occurring prosocial and dominance behavior
Naturally occurring prosocial and dominance behaviors were observed via multiple methods in four groups of adolescents. Individuals varied considerably in their frequency of prosocial and dominance behaviors, regardless of the method employed. These interindividual differences were maintained across situations and over time. The data are consistent with a trait conceptualization of dominance and prosocial behavior. The strength of the present fin…
