"Contributing to the emerging literature on mixed-race people in the United States and United Kingdom, this book draws on racial formation theory and the performativity (i.e., “doing”) of race to explore the social construction of mixedness on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean."

"In rapidly urbanizing India, cities are places of conflict between people and nature. What is the future for conservation in Indian cities? Nature in the City examines the past, present, and future of nature in Bengaluru. One of Indias largest and fastest growing cities, Bengaluru was once known as the Garden City of India. The citys ecology and environment have been degraded and destroyed in recent years. Yet nature still exhibits a remarkable tenacity. The book has a broad historical focus. Moving from early settlements in the 6th century CE to the 21st century city, it concludes by outlining a vision of a better future. The book draws on extensive research, integrated with stories of people, places, and examples of positive change. Detailed chapters demonstrate how nature has looked, behaved, and has been perceived differently in the home gardens, slums, streets, parks, sacred spaces, and lakes of Bengaluru. Nature in the city is shaped by human preferences and prejudices, as the book demonstrates. Of interest to local residents, visitors, and outside readers alike, the present volume provides an accessible, informative, and interesting tour of the social spaces where nature thrives and strives in Bengaluru. With heterogeneous environments, population densities, and urban poor, cities like Bengaluru must pay attention to the cultural and social contexts within which nature is embedded. The book further suggests an organic approach for urban conservation in the Indian context that builds on the capacities of people and communities, drawing on the close integration of the socio-cultural and ecological in urban India."

"Skripsi ini mengkaji tentang konstruksi identitas pada sebagian remaja keturunan etnis Bugis yang tinggal di Karangantu. Kehidupan mereka yang terpisah dari komunitasnya yang membentuk satuan kehidupan berlandaskan etnis – Kampung Bugis – membuat pemahaman identitas untuk mengenali siapa diri mereka secara berbeda. Etnisitas yang bersifat askripstif dalam membentuk identitas seseorang kemudian disangkal dengan mengatakan bahwa “kami bukan Bugis.” Penyangkalan bukan Bugis yang dilontarkan oleh sebagian remaja keturunan etnis Bugis adalah upaya mereka dalam mendefinisikan diri, baik secara internal maupun eksternal. Selain itu, sosialisasi yang terjadi dalam keluarga maupun lingkungan memberi andil dalam pendefinisian internal maupun eksternal untuk menghasilkan meaning dalam merepresentasikan diri sebagai siapa. Keterlibatan audience yang memberi ciri melalui stereotipe tentang masyarakat Bugis juga ikut mempengaruhi ekspresi identitas sebagian remaja Bugis dengan membentuk identitas yang berbeda dengan remaja Bugis yang berada di kampung Bugis.

This undergraduate thesis examines the construction of identity among a number of Bugis descent teenagers living in Karangantu. The notion ethnic identity construction as an ascriptive process is refuted by the teenagers claim that they are “not Bugis”. The denial against their own Bugis ethnicity is an attempt to define themselves, constrained by both internal and external definitions. In addition, the socialization that occurs within the family and the neighborhood contribute to the internal and external definition to generate meaning in representing themselves. Audience involvement that characterizes through stereotypes about Bugis society also influences the identity expression of these Bugis teenagers by establishing a distinct identity among their peers within the Bugis village."
