Cultural Conflict & Adaptation
First published in 1990. The Hmong people, with a total population of about 5 million, have a long history of statelessness and migration. During the last century, groups of Hmong moved from southern China into Indochina and, as war refugees, about 90,000 have come to America in the last thirteen years. This book examines the alienation and cultural conflicts faced at school by the children of a small group of Hmong who have settled in La Playa, …
Multiple Ethnic, Racial, and Cultural Identities in Action: From Marginality to a New Cultural Capital in Modern Society
Although the rapid immigration, migration waves, and population movements that are occurring at the beginning of this millennium are not a new phenomena, what is new are their magnitude and the adaptive strategies of immigrants and migrants. The position is that immigrants must possess a unique skill and flexibility to acquire and manage different identities so they can co-exist and function without conflicts in different contexts simultaneously.…

Some Contributions of Anthropology to Professional Education
T hese books, which have been stacking up on my desk the last two years, supposedly represent the latest in the subdiscipline of anthropology and education. What excited me were the sections of these books that sought to develop an ethnology or theoretical perspective of education as distinct from an ethnography of education and the attempts to implement the ethnography of education. The books are both methodological (descriptive and scientific) …

The role of culture in literacy acquisition: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Qualitative Research
Vgotskian psychologists view cognitive development as consisting of an increased ability to manipulate symbols "(primary language) for both social and mental functions. Contemporary anthropologists view culture, language and literacy as part of an integrated symbolic system, collectively constructed and dynamically evolving with new life experiences. Literacy for anthropologists consists not only of technical knowledge, but also of cultural norms…

Culturally Based Explanations of Minority Students' Academic Achievement
Some cultural ecologists have proposed a classification of minority groups as "autonomous," "immigrant," or "castelike," and have defended the dichotomies between "macro" and "micro," "explanatory" and "applied" ethnography. Other scholars, arguing against this position on both theoretical and empirical grounds, suggest that culture is crucially important at the collective and individual levels for the academic achievement and overall psychologic…

Ethnographic Study of Participant Structures in Task Completion: Reinterpretation of “Handicaps” in Mexican Children
Ethnographic studies are becoming increasingly popular due to their ability to arrive at the meaning of interactional events through sociocultural and linguistic cues of observed behavior. Using an ethnographic approach, the present study was conducted in an effort to offer an alternative to many teachers' misinterpretation of Mexican children's copying as indicating low academic ability and inappropriate work habits. Through careful observation …
A challenge for ethnographic researchers in bilingual settings: Analyzing Spanish/English classroom interaction
This paper summarizes the ethnohistorical development of modern ethnography and assesses the potential of this research methodology for the study of bilingual classroom interactions. The focus of the summary and assessment is on the emic use of “context” as a tool for interpreting behaviour.
