1. Ethnicity

2. AIM: How does ethnicity shape our lives? Do Now: Compare and contrast ethnicity and race. Are they the same? Which is more important? SWBAT ◦ Compare and contrast the concepts of race and ethnicity ◦ Understand the complexities of race and ethnicity in the US ◦ Analyze a primary source and have a discussion on the AIM RH.11-12.1, RH.11-12.2, RH.11-12.3, RH.11-12.8

3. AIM: How does ethnicity shape our lives? Ethnicity: identity with a group of people that share distinct physical and mental traits as a product of common heredity and cultural traditions ◦ Can be suppressed or diluted Race: Identity with a group of people descended from a common ancestor ◦ Outsiders often determine based on looks RH.11-12.1, RH.11-12.2, RH.11-12.3, RH.11-12.8

4. AIM: How does ethnicity shape our lives? Race or Ethnicity? ◦ Asian ◦ Indian (from Asia, not Native American) ◦ African-American ◦ Black ◦ Hispanic/Latino RH.11-12.1, RH.11-12.2, RH.11-12.3, RH.11-12.8

5. AIM: How does ethnicity shape our lives? Racial traits are those that can be transmitted genetically ◦ BUT most human variation falls within, not between populations. About 85% of all genetic variation can, on average, be found within any local population, be they Swedes, Kikuyu, or Hmong. RH.11-12.1, RH.11-12.2, RH.11-12.3, RH.11-12.8

6. AIM: How does ethnicity shape our lives? Analysis and Class Disucssion: The Sneetches RH.11-12.1, RH.11-12.2, RH.11-12.3, RH.11-12.8

7. AIM: How are ethnicity and race distributed in the US? Do Now: Come up and get 5 colored pencils (of different colors), a map, and a data set. We are holding off on the discussion questions. SWBAT ◦ Analyze The Sneetches to better understand ethnicity ◦ Map out demographic data in order to understand the distribution of ethnicities in the US ◦ Analyze maps in order to evaluate why ethnicities are in certain areas RH.11-12.1 RH.11-12.3 WHST.11-12.1

8. AIM: How are ethnicity and race distributed in the US? Mapping Activity ◦ LEAVE “WHITE” UNTIL THE END ◦ Be sure to make a key! ◦ Analyze your map. Why are ethnicities located where they all? Why aren’t they located in other places? ◦ Get another map (if time) and shade in the states with the lowest percentage for each ethnicity

9. AIM: Why have ethnicities been transformed into nationalities? Do Now: take out your maps from yesterday. Look at what you’ve mapped out. Where are ethnicities clustered and why? SWBAT ◦ Analyze where ethnic groups are distributed and why ◦ Differentiate between nation-states, multiethnic states, and multinational states ◦ Evaluate the ethnic conflict in Burundi and why it exists

10. Ethnic Distribution Consider History ◦ Ex: NAI forced migration to Oklahoma ◦ Ex: African American forced migration with slavery Consider the role of distance decay ◦ Gateway States: on coasts/borders  EX: Mexicans in the SW states of Arizona and Texas  EX: Asians in California or Hawaii

11. African-American Migration Still highly clustered in the South Great Migration in 1900-1950’s ◦ Move N and W to find work in factories ◦ 95% of all A-A lived in the South in 1900-> 50% currently live in the South

12. Native American Migration Native Alaskans/Inuit/Eskimos Most live on reservations ◦ Navajo=Arizona/New Mexico ◦ Sioux= Montana/Dakotas ◦ Cherokee=Oklahoma

13. Ethnicities in Cities Highly clustered within cities Originally lots of European ethnic enclaves ◦ Move out through “White Flight” Cities are highly segregated! ◦ De jure segregation= official law  Separate but equal: Plessy v Ferguson ◦ De facto segregation currently  Real estate practices and white flight

14. Ethnicities and Nation States Nationality: group of people sharing legal attachment to a country Nationalism: loyalty/devotion to a nation Self-determination: right to govern themselves Nation-State: country whose territory corresponds to that of a particular ethnicity and has been turned into a nationality

15. Multiethnic State Multiethnic state: contains more than 1 ethnicity ◦ Can come together as 1 nationality: U.S. Multinational states: contain two or more ethnic groups with tradition of self-determination ◦ Ex: United Kingdom, Soviet Union ◦ Agree to coexist by recognizing each other as individual nationalities ◦ Relationship can vary: sometimes groups compete/conflict with each other

16. Centripetal force: attitude/action that tends to unify people and enhance support for a state Centrifugal force: attitude/action that tends to spread people apart/create differences

17. Balkanization Balkanization=breaking apart along ethnic lines Named for Balkan peninsula Often involves ethnic cleansing

18. AIM: Why do ethnic conflicts exist? Do Now: look at the official definition of genocide. Do you think it would be easy or hard to apply the definition to cases? Why do people avoid labeling a conflict as genocide? SWBAT ◦ Differentiate between ethnic cleansing and genocide ◦ Describe several factors that lead to ethnic conflict ◦ Examine a case study of Burundi to understand the underlying factors and potential for conflict RH.11-12.1, RH.11-12.2, RH 11-12.3, RH 11-12.6

19. Ethnic Cleansing v Genocide Ethnic cleansing: getting rid of ethnicity either by forced removal or violence Genocide: an organized intent to destroy or eliminate an ethnic group RH.11-12.1, RH.11-12.2, RH 11-12.3, RH 11- 12.6

20. Why do ethnic groups clash? Competition to dominate nationality ◦ Sub-Saharan Africa: post-colonial period Dividing ethnicities among more than 1 nation ◦ New country becomes independent-> some of the ethnic group is left behind in other country  EX: India-Pakistan border and conflict over Kashmir RH.11-12.1, RH.11-12.2, RH 11-12.3, RH 11- 12.6

21. Burundi Case Study 10 minutes silent reading May answer questions with a partner Answer on a separate sheet of paper RH.11-12.1, RH.11-12.2, RH 11-12.3, RH 11- 12.6

22. Once Brothers Movie Look for centripetal or centrifugal forces What caused the ethnic tensions? RH.11-12.1, RH.11-12.2, RH 11-12.3, RH 11- 12.6
