In this paper, we analyse the association between the spatial concentration of ethnic minorities and racial harassment. Ethnic concentration relates to racial harassment through at least three channels: hostility in the attitudes of majority individuals that finds expression in harassment behaviour, the probability that minority individuals meet majority individuals, and the cost of expressing hostility aggressively. Thus, harassment cannot simply be modelled as a stronger form of hostility. Using unique data for Britain, we show that, in areas of higher local ethnic concentration, experience of harassment is lower, even though hostility on the side of the majority population is not.

Since gang violence typically occurs within racial and ethnic communities, gangs observed to launch counter-normative, inter-racial attacks draw attention to the variable social processes that may underpin conflict relations. Controlling for other factors previously found to influence the structure of gang-on-gang conflict, this study investigated whether gangs launching inter-racial attacks were placing themselves in a strategic position that may offer networked advantages for criminal enterprise. Examining the conflict patterns of 136 criminal street gangs operating in the City of Los Angeles we observed structural characteristics akin to what is observed among successful organizations interlinked by competitive business relations. MR-QAP nodal regression models suggest that gang violence reflects structurally efficient attack patterns. Sensitivity analysis confirmed the robustness of our main results. We conclude that inter-racial patterns of street gang violence may reflect a subset of violence associated with competitive processes that advance criminal enterprise.

This collection represents a serious re-examination of existing work on the Aboriginal history of nineteenth-century Victoria, deploying the insights of postcolonial thought to wrench open the inner workings of territorial expropriation and its historically tenacious variability. Colonial historians have frequently asserted that the management and control of Aboriginal people in colonial Victoria was historically exceptional; by the end of the century, colonies across mainland Australia looked to Victoria as a ‘model’ for how to manage the problem of Aboriginal survival. This collection carefully traces the emergence and enactment of this ‘model’ in the years after colonial separation, the idiosyncrasies of its application and the impact it had on Aboriginal lives.

We analyze the interaction of black–white race with physical and socioeconomic characteristics in the US marriage market, using data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics. We estimate who inter-racially marries whom along anthropometric and socioeconomic characteristics dimensions. The black women who inter-marry are the thinner and more educated in their group; instead, white women are the fatter and less educated; black or white men who inter-marry are poorer and thinner. While women in “mixed” couples find a spouse who is poorer but thinner than if they intra-married, black men match with a white woman who is more educated than if they intra-married, and a white man finds a thinner spouse in a black woman. Our general findings are consistent with the “social status exchange” hypothesis, but the finding that black men who marry white women tend to be poorer than black men who marry black women is not.

The present study used a stratified random sample of undergraduate students at a major Metropolitan University in the Gauteng province of South Africa to examine aspects of the contact hypothesis as originally formulated by Gordon Allport. Specifically, the study sought to examine the effects of two social settings, namely, educational and religious settings on students' attitudes toward interracial relationships. We failed to find empirical support for our hypotheses that the higher education and religious settings would engender favourable attitudes towards interracial relationships. Rather we found the secondary education setting, being African, having intimate interactions with people of different racial backgrounds positively influence students attitudes towards interracial relationships. La présente étude a employé un échantillon aléatoire stratifié d'étudiants d'étudiant préparant une licence à l'université de Johannesburg pour examiner des aspects de l'hypothèse de contact comme à l'origine formulé par Gordon Allport. Spécifiquement, l'étude a cherché à évaluer les effets de deux arrangements éducatifs et religieux sociaux d'arrangements, à savoir, attitudes sur étudiants des' envers dater interracial. Nous avons trouvé cela conformé à l'hypothèse de contact, le contact social entre les personnes de différents milieux sociaux tels que la course est crucial en favorisant des attitudes positives envers une des autres et que ces contacts sociaux sont en grande partie engendrés par des arrangements sociaux de contexte tels que le système d'éducation.

The purpose of this study is to describe and contrast the determinants and outcomes of Korean women's interracial marriages in the US. Social scientists in general agree on intermarriage being an indicator of the extent to which minorities have assimilated into the host society. However, very few studies have ever attempted to discern the socioeconomic outcomes of the marriage contracts of minorities. In a multivariate context, this study seeks to fill this information gap and examine the consequences of interracial marriage. In order to investigate the effects of interracial marriage on the socioeconomic well being of individuals, we examine two types of residential outcomes-homeownership and household overcrowding. We specify a pairwise two-stage probit model, using 5 percent of the US census data (Public Use Micro Sample A) in 1990. The results show that for Korean women married to white American men-compared to their in-married counterparts-the probability of living in houses they own increases and living in overcrowded houses decreases. The present study concludes that intermarriage is not only a good means to achieve better socioeconomic status but is also a result of assimilation.

Fatal Collisions is about violence on the South Australian frontier and the ways in which it has been remembered in Anglo-Australian accounts of the past. The stories it tells take place in that fluid zone where history, memory and myth meet in popular consciousness.

Some believe Walter and other Europeans in Bali introduced homosexuality to the island, as if nosferatus were reverse-shipped from the centers of empires to pollute the peripheries. Others suggest Bali already enjoyed fluid male eroticism free of the monumental lines between hetero- and homosexuality being drawn by imperial psychiatrists. A European observer in the 1880s, a voyeuristic doctor named Julius Jacob, who mostly commented on Balinese breasts and clitorises, included in his reports notes about men dressed as female dancers and offered to male visitors for sex.¹ And a respected Balinese leader, Anak Agung Made Djelantik, the son of a royal
