I'll look up Young-Bruehl in the meantime...Bill Jesdalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14477168137262967470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552382737469337416.post-10267570675659768522012-09-23T18:24:31.750-07:002012-09-23T18:24:31.750-07:00I'd suggest strength of local community as a m...I'd suggest strength of local community as a mediating factor. It can be a somewhat paradoxical result of segregation - strong in-group identification and dense networks of 'bonding' ties. You might be aware of hostile attitudes towards your group, but their impact on you is attenuated by the fact they come from an out-group. That's harder to maintain if you're in a smaller group or more interspersed, as it may be for Hispanics and Asians. <br /><br />However... discrimination is not a single unitary phenomenon; it has cultural content. The prejudice against Asians is that they 'keep to themselves and don't assimilate', so the strong in-group factor that is naturalised in black/white segregation counts *against* Asians. Elisabeth Young-Bruehl in 'The Anatomy of Prejudices' is good on these differences.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
