Описание: Capitol Pages in the Senate, House, and Supreme Court have been an integral part of US politics and history from the earliest days of American Government. The page program itself mirrors the values, successes, and failures of our government and of our country as a whole, including our ever-evolving stances on race, gender, and equal opportunity for all. Though we now only have Senate Pages who serve after the controversial closing of the House Page Program in 2011, former pages have a unique perspective on American politics and give back not only during their service to our country’s leaders, but afterwards as prominent and engaged leaders in the fields of politics, business, military, education, art, and culture. The author, a former Senate Page herself, shares first-hand accounts along with interviews of former pages, some notable public figures today, and in-depth research on the history of Capitol Pages, their duties, schooling, experiences, victories, and downfalls. Many first-hand interviews with former pages, including some of the first African American and female pages, reveal surprising discoveries of the importance of the Capitol Page Program, including the discovery that Capitol Page School was the first integrated public school after Brown Versus Board of Education thanks to Chief Warren’s determination to set an example for the country using this page school of less than 100 students. Pages were there as first-hand witnesses on the Senate and House Floors when our country declared war, during acts of violence including 9/11, and for our many victories and tragedies in US politics and history. Senate Pages today are carrying on an important role as an essential part of a 200+ year tradition of young ambassadors working alongside our politicians in the US Capitol.

Описание:
Race is a known fiction—there is no genetic marker that indicates someone's race—yet the social stigma of race endures. In the United States, ethnicity is often positioned as a counterweight to race, and we celebrate our various hyphenated-American identities. But Vilna Bashi Treitler argues that we do so at a high cost: ethnic thinking simply perpetuates an underlying racism.
In The Ethnic Project, Bashi Treitler considers the ethnic history of the United States from the arrival of the English in North America through to the present day. Tracing the histories of immigrant and indigenous groups—Irish, Chinese, Italians, Jews, Native Americans, Mexicans, Afro-Caribbeans, and African Americans—she shows how each negotiates America's racial hierarchy, aiming to distance themselves from the bottom and align with the groups already at the top. But in pursuing these "ethnic projects" these groups implicitly accept and perpetuate a racial hierarchy, shoring up rather than dismantling race and racism. Ultimately, The Ethnic Project shows how dangerous ethnic thinking can be in a society that has not let go of racial thinking.
In the wake of the Mexican-American War, competing narratives of religious conquest and re-conquest were employed by Anglo American and ethnic Mexican Californians to make sense of their place in North America. These “invented traditions” had a profound impact on North American religious and ethnic relations, serving to bring elements of Catholic history within the Protestant fold of the United States’ national history as well as playing an integral role in the emergence of the early Chicano/a movement.
Many Protestant Anglo Americans understood their settlement in the far Southwest as following in the footsteps of the colonial project begun by Catholic Spanish missionaries. In contrast, Californios—Mexican-Americans and Chicana/os—stressed deep connections to a pre-Columbian past over to their own Spanish heritage. Thus, as Anglo Americans fashioned themselves as the spiritual heirs to the Spanish frontier, many ethnic Mexicans came to see themselves as the spiritual heirs to a southwestern Aztec homeland.
