The lack of longitudinal multicultural research in academia leaves no other option for the illumination and transformation of education towards more diverse and equitable opportunities than to acknowledge and incorporate the experiences of those previously marginalised by the mainstream through the study of ethnographic narratives, such as this one, which seeks to inform and enlighten all readers. In this article, the author encapsulates her personal experience as an adoption survivor and her journey of reclamation through education.

Bover cemetery is located in the middle of the villages of Shnogh and Teghut of the Lori region of the Republic of Armenia, to the west of the central part of Bover church, at an average altitude of 930 m above sea level. According to the results of excavations in 2012, it turned out that the tomb No. 45 is a cultburial tomb. A dog was buried in that partially damaged tomb (beginning of the 1st millennium BC). The contemporary archaeological material both from Armenia and the surrounding regions shows that such burials were typical of the mentioned period. The archaeological materials, are certainly linked to ethnographic narratives, which make it possible to draw up a general picture of this phenomenon.

Black Colleges And Universities

Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) serve the educational needs of students of African descent while providing an atmosphere of nurture and guidance enriched in cultural norms. In considering how HBCUs can remain competitive, this chapter recommends that one of the first steps is to return to the basics, reviewing the historical significance, missions and traditions of HBCUs. In doing so, this work investigates the role HBCUs play in student identity and character development by looking at the history, mission and traditions of Morehouse College and Howard University. The authors, who both are alumni of these institutions, respectively, will examine relevant documents and statements from the schools as well as provide auto-ethnographic narratives explicating the impact those institutions had on their academic, social and professional successes.

This chapter on “Where There Is No Formal Social Welfare System for an Indigenous People: Entrepreneurship, Watchmen, and the Reinvention of the Maasai Warrior” addresses the transformation of the Maasai moranism (warrior society). As a marginalized indigenous group, the Maasai have not benefitted from any important social welfare or safety net programs. The chapter interrogates the evolution of an entrepreneurial spirit among young Maasai men who have joined the ranks of the massive informal sector to become watchmen (security guards) in cities and small townships in both Kenya and Tanzania. The chapter draws from ethnographic narratives about the “fierceness” of the Maasai in global capitalist expansion and their economic marginalization. The overriding question is: In what ways is the proliferation of the phenomenon of Maasai watchmen a reaction to the community’s marginalization?

Abstract Based on auto/biographical and ethnographic narratives and conceptual theories, this essay explores the Global African Diaspora as a racialised space of belonging for African diasporas in the US, the UK, and – more recently – the clandestine migration zones from Africa to southern Europe. Both approaches are used to illustrate the author’s roots, routes, and detours; an interpretive paradigm highlighting the interconnectedness across time and space of differential African diasporas. The critical analysis interrogates transnational modalities of black and Global African Diasporic kinship, consciousness, and solidarity engendered by shared lived experiences of institutionalised racism, structural inequalities, and violence.

Para isso, o artigo foi dividido em três partes. A primeira faz uma reflexão acerca do lugar da poesia popular no campo das Letras, propondo uma inclusão das poéticas populares na historiografia literária. A segunda volta-se para a investigação da cantoria e do repente como performances. A terceira, por fim, tem por premissa ver como a Antropologia Visual pode contribuir para a composição de um corpus de manifestações literárias populares, bem como de coleção de imagens e de narrativas etnográficas.

O presente estudo busca demonstrar que as fotografias podem ser consideradas, enquanto recurso imagético, importantes na construção de narrativas etnográficas. Para tanto, se lançou mão de um breve histórico, onde se contextualizou a inserção da fotografia no âmbito da pesquisa antropológica, elencando a questão do olhar disciplinado e demonstrando uma narrativa articulada em torno seis imagens que evidenciam aspectos da cultura, sociedade e produção econômica de uma pequena cidade chamada Rorainópolis-RR. O trabalho de campo foi realizado ao longo de três meses, por meio de observações, anotações, registros fotográficos, levantamento de dados oficiais e bibliográficos relacionados ao tema. Por meio dessas etapas verificou-se que as imagens possibilitam construir narrativas onde se evidenciam as lógicas imagéticas de uma sociedade e assim compreender seu funcionamento por meios da forma como se expressam no campo visual do observador.
