We’re losing our culture... our heritage... our traditions... everything is being swept away. Such sentiments get echoed around the world, from aging Trump supporters in West Virginia to young villagers in West Africa. But what is triggering this sense of cultural loss, and to what ends does this rhetoric get deployed? To answer these questions, anthropologist David Berliner travels around the world, from Guinea-Conakry, where globalization affects the traditional patriarchal structure of cultural transmission, to Laos, where foreign UNESCO experts have become self-appointed saviors of the nation’s cultural heritage. He also embarks on a voyage of critical self-exploration, reflecting on how anthropologists handle their own sense of cultural alienation while becoming deeply embedded in other cultures. This leads into a larger examination of how and why we experience exonostalgia, a longing for vanished cultural heydays we never directly experienced. Losing Culture provides a nuanced analysis of these phenomena, addressing why intergenerational cultural transmission is vital to humans, yet also considering how efforts to preserve disappearing cultures are sometimes misguided or even reactionary. Blending anthropological theory with vivid case studies, this book teaches us how to appreciate the multitudes of different ways we might understand loss, memory, transmission, and heritage.

Ethnic Positioning in Southwestern Mixed Heritage Writing explores how Southwestern writers and visual artists provide an opportunity to turn a stigmatized identity into a self-conscious holder of valuable assets, cultural attitudes, and memories. The problem of mixed ethno-cultural heritage is a relevant feature of North American populations, faced by millions. Narratives on blended heritage show how mixed-race authors utilize their multiple ethnic experiences, knowledge archives, and sensibilities. They explore how individuals attempt to cope with the cognitive anxiety, stigmas, and perceptions that are intertwined in their blended ethnic heritage, family and social dynamics, and the renegotiation of their ethnic identity. The Southwest is a region riddled by Eurocentric and Colonial concepts of identity, yet at the same time highly treasured in the Frontier experiences of physical mobility and mental and spiritual journeys and transformations. Judit Ágnes Kádár argues that the process of ethnic positioning is a choice made by mixed heritage people that results in renegotiated identities, leading to more complex and engaging concepts of themselves.

Japanese reportedly have the highest ratio of interracial couples in Canada, which has led to an increased number of Japanese mixed heritage learners at post secondary institutions. However, in the field of heritage language education there has been limited research that focuses on this segment of the population. In order to address this gap, the study attempted to provide an in-depth understanding of Japanese Mixed Heritage Youth (JMHY) by analyzing their daily language use and senses of ethnicity. Fourteen Japanese mixed heritage youths who possess a beginner's level of Japanese proficiency (with two exceptions) participated in the study and provided a multi-set of data, including interviews, short essays on language experiences, and photos. The study is framed by Baumann's (1996) conceptualization of "ethnicity as culture" and JMHY culture is analyzed through the lens of "two cultural discourses" also promoted by Baumann (1999). The study avoids dichotomizing essentialized and non-essentialized views of culture and regards both views as a vital part of the culture-making process. The result of my analysis shows the complexity of the JMHY's relation to their language use and ethnicity. While the JMHY emphasize their Japanese "halfness", they acknowledge the coexistence of Japanese halfness with their other "half" in how they understand their ethnicity. With respect to the JMHY's Japanese ethnicity, their tendency is to reconnect to the past, the rather reified heritage culture, but at the same time they reinterpret Japanese heritage through their daily experiences in their present contexts. JMHY's daily language use is examined from both an intercultural competence and a multicultural competence perspective. This approach allows an investigation into how the JMHY's home environment, including their parents, who provide cross cultural situations in daily life, contributes to the JMHY's speech competence. This study does not yield findings that can be readily transferable to cases of other mixed heritage youths, but it does demonstrate the importance of taking their mixed heritage background into consideration in the study of language and ethnicity. Finally, suggestions for language instructors at post secondary settings and parents of mixed heritage persons are presented along with directions for further research in the field of heritage language education.

The author explores the ethnic and racial identity formation among high school and college students of racially mixed heritage. The portraits in this book provide a thorough examination of the dynamic ethnic and racial lives of a multifaceted and growing segment of students. Unlike most recent projects on mixed heritage people which are narrow in scope and focus on one set of backgrounds (e.g., black and white or black and Japanese), the subjects in this study represent a vast array of heritages, including those of dual minority ancestry. The students' stories speak volumes about the uneven nature of racial and ethnic experience within and across traditional communities in contemporary U.S. society. Unlike studies analyzing broad intergroup processes, this work begins by examining the cultural dynamics of the home, contributing valuable insights into the otherwise invisible lives of mixed heritage families. Processes of enculturation and discourse acquisition are considered in the development of ethnic identity. The book also helps to frame how changes within the U.S. racial ecology lead many recently mixed heritage individuals to see themselves as occupying (un)common ground. Finally, this work offers recommendations for educators concerned with creating school contexts that are critically supportive of human diversity.
