Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Over the past three decades, United States foreign policy, new immigrant communities, and increasing global economic interdependence have contributed to an increasingly complex political economy in America?s major cities. For instance, recent immigration from Asia and Latin America has generated cultural anxiety and racial backlash among a number of ethnic communities in America. Newspaper Coverage of Interethnic Conflict: Competing Visions of America examines mainstream and ethnic minority news coverage of interethnic conflicts in Miami, Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles. Authors Hemant Shah and Michael C. Thornton investigate the role of news in racial formation, the place of ethnic minority media in the public sphere, and how these competing visions of America are part of ongoing social and political struggles to construct, define, and challenge the meanings of race and nation. The authors suggest that mainstream newspapers reinforce dominant racial ideology while ethnic minority newspapers provide an important counter-hegemonic view of U.S. race relations. Features of this text Pioneering and extensive comparisons of the mainstream and ethnic minority press
Unique comparative focus on relations among ethnic minorities
Both traditional quantitative and qualitative content analysis methods used to examine news stories
Informed by the sociological theory known as "racial formation," which previously has not been applied to the field of mass communication research.
The general process of racial formation and the role of news in that process will be compelling to anyone studying the social construction of racial categories. Newspaper Coverage of Interethnic Conflict is highly recommended for students and scholars in the fields of Journalism, Mass Communications, Media Studies, Cultural Studies, and Sociology.
Ogier Ghiselin de Busbecq (1522 92) was a Flemish herbalist,
diplomat and writer. In 1554, Ferdinand I, soon to be Holy Roman
Emperor, dispatched him to Suleiman the Magnificent's court as an
ambassador to the Ottoman empire, where Busbecq spent years
negotiating a border dispute between his employer and the sultan.
While there, he also discovered important manuscripts and sent the
first tulip bulbs to Europe. He returned to Vienna in 1562, where
he acted as counsellor to Ferdinand, after whose death he continued
to serve the Habsburgs. This two-volume work, first published in
1881, contains Busbecq's letters, edited and translated into
English from Latin by two Cambridge scholars. Volume 1 contains a
lengthy biography of Busbecq, written by the editors, and his
famous Turkish Letters, which are a unique source of information on
Ottoman court life in the sixteenth century.
