Cultural Identity Nation State - HOME Cultural Identity Nation State Political Culture and National Identity in Russian-Ukrainian Relations by Mikhail A. Molchanov, In this provocative study, Mikhail A. Molchanov analyzes the political and cultural factors that underlie modern national identities in Russia and Ukraine and systematically compares the political cultures of these two historically similar, yet profoundly different nations. The author argues that domestic and international factors shape national identities, which are not an inherent characteristic of a people, but arise in interaction with the national "other." The "self-other" relationship is therefore a key element of ...
American Pop Culture - HOME American Pop Culture Dreamimg in Color: Business, Pop Culture, and the Creation of a New American Race by Leon Wynter, Race has always been America's first standard and central paradox. From the start, America based its politics on the principle of white supremacy, but it has always lived and dreamed of itself in color. The truth beneath the contradiction has finally emerged and led us to the threshold of a transformation of American identity as profound as slavery was defining. We live in a country where the "King of Pop" was ...

Cuba Lifestyle - HOME Cuba Lifestyle The Culture of Conflict in Modern Cuba by Nicholas A. Robins, Conflict in Cuba is not new. Since early in Cubas colonial history a small elite has used centralized power to rule for what its members viewed as the common good, which often coincided with their own good. Political officials often took advantage of their situation and created monopolies which limited accountability, social mobility, fair play, and economic development--the rich got richer and the poor got poorer. This work traces this ethos, efforts to change it, and its manifestations ...

Culture Music Spanish - HOME Culture Music Spanish Zarzuela: Spanish Operetta, American Stage by Janet Lynn Sturman, Once the most popular form of Spanish entertainment short of the bullfight, the zarzuela boasts a long history of bridging the categories of classical and popular art. It is neither opera nor serious drama, yet it requires both trained singers and good actors. The content is neither purely folkloric nor high art; it is too popular for some and too classical for others. In Zarzuela, Janet L. Sturman assesses the political as well as the musical significance of this chameleon of music-drama. Sturman traces the zarzuela's colorful history from its seventeenth-century origins as a Spanish court entertainment to its adaptation in Spain's colonial outposts in the New World. She examines Cuba's pivotal role in transmitting the zarzuela to Latin America and the Caribbean and draws distinctions among the ways in which various Spanish-speaking communities have reformulated zarzuela, combining elements of the Spanish model with local characters, music, dances, and political perspectives. The settings Sturman ...
