SEEING COLOR INDIGENOUS PEOPLES AND RACIALIZED ETHNIC MINORITIES IN OREGON
Indigenous
peoples and racial minorities have lived and thrived in Oregon for centuries.
Their legacy is interwoven with the state's history and culture even as they
continue to struggle with prejudice, environmental pressures, shrinking state
revenues, the effects of globalization, and the changing dynamics of the state
economy. Current U.S. immigration policy and the forces of globalization have
played a critical role in creating a dynamic process named the 'browning of
Oregon.' This anthology brings together a group of noted multidisciplinary
scholars, who explore the rich and varied experiences of Oregon's native
communities and racial minorities. Anchored in a 'power relations' perspective,
the book has been organized around several key historical themes, including:
the foundation of ethnic communities; civil rights; social justice; ethnicity
and labor; and various forms of cultural traditions. As disparate as they seem
in style and topic, this collection of essays highlight the distinctive
experiences of Oregon's people of color and communicates the broader
interlocking categories of social identity. The book is essential reading for
students, teachers, and the general public interested in contemporary racial
politics.
