“…A growing body of work suggests that generational status is influential to civic engagement among E-R minority youth from immigrant families (Wray-Lake et al, 2015). In addition, civic orientations have been found to vary by national identity among Black adults in the United States (Greer, 2013; Smith, 2014). To better examine the role of ethnic diversity in the civic development of Black children and youth, more nuanced measures of sociocultural background are needed.…”

“…In response, members of this community have engaged in a long history of collective resistance to such inequality through civic actions, such as the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s or the more recent Black Lives Matter movement (Smith, 2014). These movements include a diverse coalition of political actors who identify as Black, such as African Americans and Black immigrants (Greer, 2013). Research and theory suggest that the civic development of historically marginalized children and youth is linked with their experiences of inequality and opportunity (Evans et al, 2012; Levinson, 2010).…”

“…Research and theory suggest that the civic development of historically marginalized children and youth is linked with their experiences of inequality and opportunity (Evans et al, 2012; Levinson, 2010). However, minimal research has illuminated how varied socialization experiences may facilitate the civic development of ethnically diverse Black children while accounting for structural manifestations of inequality (Greer, 2013; Smith, 2014), especially work that examines the intersection of context and culture. In general, civic engagement research is extensive and work addressing inequality and sociocultural processes among Black youth is burgeoning (Hope & Bañales, 2019; Hope & Jagers, 2014).…”

Little is known about how developmental experiences spanning early childhood through adolescence prepare children and youth to engage with society, and even less so for ethnically diverse Black children and youth. Building from work linking positive youth development (PYD) to civic engagement, this study examined how socialization trajectories from early childhood through adolescence in concert with early childhood experiences and contexts related to adolescent civic development. Person-centered analysis (PCA) through trajectory modeling was conducted using the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class of 1998–99 (ECLS-K). Family-level inclusion criteria was used to identify the subsample wherein at least 1 parent identified as Black or African American (N = 3,562); 49.5% of children were female. The ECLS-K component measure of socioeconomic status (SES) indicated that most families were from low SES backgrounds (54.5%), followed by middle and upper-middle class (36.4%,), then upper-middle class and beyond (9.1%). Civic development was measured by the PYD outcomes of competence, confidence, connection to school and peers, caring, and character, which have positively accounted for civic engagement across ethnically and racially diverse youth. Findings suggest that diversity in socialization experiences, sociocultural background, and context result in differential outcomes of civic development. This builds on previous civic engagement work by affirming the importance of parental perceptions, civic opportunity, socialization practices, and context. Moreover, this work highlights ethnic diversity among Black youth in civic development and suggests that being from an immigrant family is associated with differential civic outcomes relative to their nonimmigrant counterparts.

“…But to those who lived in those times, of course, none of it seemed strange. 539 John URRY entwickelt hier den Begriff des tourist gaze, welcher eine besondere Art des Sehens, aber auch eine bestimmte Erwartungshaltung kennzeichnet, die mit der touristischen Erfahrung verbunden ist. Generell kann bei der Wahrnehmung jedes Raumes festgestellt werden: "the pure and the innocent eye is a myth" 540 .…”

Die vorliegende Untersuchung beschäftigt sich mit der Darstellung des Mittelalters in sechs deutschsprachigen Jugendromanen der Gegenwartsliteratur, in denen die fremde Epoche innerhalb der Erzählwelt im Rahmen einer Zeitreise erschlossen wird. Die im Phänomen der Zeitreise manifestierte Verräumlichung der Zeit und die in der Jugendliteratur oft erhöhte Bedeutung liminaler Räume greifen ineinander: Der historische Raum wird zum Schwellenraum, der den Jugendlichen Entwicklung und Identitätssuche ermöglicht. Auch Kultur und Gesellschaft sind in der Adoleszenz Konzepte von zentraler Bedeutung, da die Auseinandersetzung mit der Erwachsenenwelt die Entwicklung von Individualität und Geschlechtsbildern nach sich zieht. Die phantastische Metapher einer Reise durch die Zeit, in der sich Zeit und Raum verknüpfen und damit einen neuen Kulturraum zur Entwicklung bieten, eröffnet so eine Vielzahl von erzählerischen Möglichkeiten für die in der Jugendliteratur zentralen Themen von Weiterentwicklung und Selbstfindung.

“…Blacks from the Caribbean constitute the largest subgroup of Black immigrants in the United States (Schmidley & Gibson, 1999; Williams, Lavizzo-Mourey, & Warren, 1994), and as Greer (2013) discussed, African Americans and Caribbean Blacks differ in their perceptions, values, and experiences. With a few notable exceptions (Griffith, Johnson, Zhang, Neighbors, & Jackson, 2011; Williams, Gonzalez, et al, 2007; Williams, Haile, et al, 2007), most previous studies of mental health in the Black community have not addressed the mental health consequences of within-group ethnic variations.…”

Little is known about the epidemiology of DSM-IV intermittent explosive disorder (IED) in adolescents and no information is currently available regarding the relationship between race/ethnicity and IED among Black youth in the US. Using the World Health Organization World Mental Health Composite International Diagnostic Interview (Adolescent Version), we estimated the prevalence, severity, and disability of IED in a national, probability sample of African American and Caribbean Black youth (ages 13-17) from the National Survey of American Life, Adolescent Supplement. Face-to-face surveys of 810 African American and 360 Caribbean Black youth were conducted between 2001 and 2003. We calculated lifetime and 12-month diagnoses of IED using diagnostic algorithms based on DSM-IV and assessed IED disability using a modified Sheehan Disability Scale. Overall findings indicated lifetime and 12-month IED prevalence rates of 9.2% and 7.0%, respectively. Lifetime prevalence rates of IED were 9.0 % for African American and 12.4% for Caribbean Black teens. Within the past 12 months 6.7% of African American and 11.5% of Caribbean Black adolescents met diagnostic criteria for IED. Lifetime and 12-month IED were associated with anxiety disorders. In addition, few teens with lifetime IED received any treatment. Findings are consistent with recent evidence that intermittent explosive disorder may be more common than previously considered, especially among adolescents. Significant acts of aggression and impairment are associated with IED and low treatment rates indicate that more research on this disorder and intervention options is warranted.
