Question 1

A major dimension of the nation-based paradigm of race is that&#10;A) It overemphasizes the importance of revolutionary nationalism.&#10;B) It pays no attention to class and gender as important factors in nation-building.&#10;C) It overemphasizes class and ethnicity as major factors in nation-building.&#10;D) It relies heavily on global perspectives of nation-building.&#10;E) It treats race as a manifestation of &#34;peoplehood&#34; or collective identity formation .

Accepted Answer

The nation-based paradigm of race treats race as a manifestation of "peoplehood" or collective identity formation. It emphasizes the importance of a shared national identity and excludes those who do not fit into that identity. This is based on the idea that nations are natural and enduring units of social organization, and that race is an inherent part of national identity. This paradigm ignores other important factors, such as class and gender, and tends to overemphasize the role of ethnicity and class in nation-building.

Question 2

Based on Omi and Winant's views of early nation-building in America, what key factor was responsible in determining who was &#34;civilized&#34; or &#34;savage,&#34; &#34;free&#34; or &#34;slave?&#34;&#10;A) Nationalism&#10;B) Class&#10;C) Race .&#10;D) Gender&#10;E) Ethnicity

Accepted Answer

Omi and Winant argue that race played a critical role in early nation-building in America, with the concept of "civilization" versus "savagery" being applied to different racial groups. This was also tied to the concept of "freedom" versus "slavery," as black slaves were considered to be separate and inferior due to their race. Class, gender, ethnicity, and nationalism were also factors, but race was the most significant factor in determining social hierarchies and power dynamics.

Question 3

In the U.S.A., race has often been used to determine citizenship. Omi and Winant suggest that the result of this type of nation-building policy has&#8230;&#10;A) Sparked nativist fears of white immigrant threats.&#10;B) Fueled the acceptance of multiculturalism as the national norm.&#10;C) Encouraged racial homogeneity through racial inclusion.&#10;D) Made the U.S.A. a white supremacist country .&#10;E) Created numerous opportunities for every immigrant group to succeed in America.

Accepted Answer

Omi and Winant argue that a nation-building policy that uses race to determine citizenship has resulted in making the U.S.A. a white supremacist country. This means that the country's policies and practices are structured to prioritize and maintain the dominance of white people and maintain a racial hierarchy in which non-white people are disadvantaged.

Question 4

Which of the following is an example of how race and gender intersected in nation-building in the United States?&#10;A) High rates of mixed-race offspring.&#10;B) Large strikes by whites to keep out non-white workers during the early 1900s.&#10;C) Immigration and naturalization laws that disallowed Chinese citizenship.&#10;D) Anti-miscegenation laws barring mixed-race relationships and offspring .&#10;E) Policies that encouraged voting rights for women of color over white women.

Accepted Answer

Anti-miscegenation laws were laws prohibiting interracial marriage and sexual relations between persons of different races. These laws disproportionately affected women of color who were more likely to be in relationships with white men. This illustrates how race and gender intersected to restrict the rights of women of color and promote white supremacy.

Question 5

All of the following factors sparked insurgent nationalism among racial minorities in America except for&#8230;&#10;A) Deindustrialization and outsourcing of jobs across America .&#10;B) Anti-colonial struggles around the world after World War II.&#10;C) A growth of collective identities among non-whites.&#10;D) White nationalism.&#10;E) The development of non-white cultural nationalism.

Accepted Answer

Deindustrialization and outsourcing of jobs affected economic conditions but did not directly spark insurgent nationalism among racial minorities. The other factors contributed to a sense of identity and resistance against racial oppression.

Question 6

Which of the following theories questioned the need for nation-building and national identities because of the growing spread of capitalism both in the U.S. and around the world?&#10;A) Pan-Africanism&#10;B) Classical Marxism .&#10;C) Cultural nationalism&#10;D) Internal colonialism&#10;E) White nationalism

Accepted Answer

Classical Marxism questioned the need for nation-building and national identities because it viewed them as a tool for the ruling class to maintain power and control over the proletariat. Instead, Marx believed that a global working-class identity would form as capitalism became more widespread and the class struggle intensified.

Question 7

Which of the following forms of insurgent nationalism attempted to address black oppression in America and unite blacks under one collective identity?&#10;A) Internal colonialism&#10;B) Classical Marxism&#10;C) &#34;Third-Worldism&#34;&#10;D) Pan-Africanism .&#10;E) Democratic socialism

Accepted Answer

Pan-Africanism attempted to address black oppression in America and unite blacks under one collective identity by promoting the unity, self-determination, and economic cooperation of people of African descent globally, including those in the United States. This ideology emphasized the common historical experiences and cultural heritage of people of African descent and sought to create a sense of solidarity and identity among them.

Question 8

Omi and Winant suggest that the problem with cultural nationalism as an insurgent nationalism was that&#10;A) It created a sense of &#34;peoplehood&#34; for many non-white groups.&#10;B) It supported integration into white nationalism.&#10;C) Its cultural expressions were often detached from radical political action .&#10;D) It never included Native Americans or Latinos.&#10;E) It supported black separatism.

Accepted Answer

Omi and Winant argue that cultural nationalism as an insurgent nationalism was problematic because it often focused on expressing cultural identities without connecting this expression to any radical political action. This meant that it did not challenge the underlying power structures of society, and might even have supported integration into the dominant white nationalist culture.

Question 9

Robert Blauner argued that African Americans are good examples of _________ because many were forcefully brought to America and exposed to racist policies even after being freed from slavery.&#10;A) Class-based racism&#10;B) Black nationalists&#10;C) Immigrant or voluntary minorities&#10;D) Colonized or coerced minorities .&#10;E) The industrial working class.

Accepted Answer

Blauner's theory suggests that there are two types of minorities, colonized or coerced minorities and immigrant or voluntary minorities. African Americans, who were forcibly brought to America and were subjected to racist policies even after being freed from slavery, fit the description of colonized or coerced minorities.

Question 10

One of the problems with applying Blauner's internal colonialism approach to U.S. racial dynamics is that&#10;A) It only explains discrimination against white immigrants in the 1900s.&#10;B) It only explains discrimination against African Americans.&#10;C) It cannot clearly explain the differences between coerced and voluntary migration .&#10;D) It cannot explain all aspects of race and racism in American society.&#10;E) It largely focuses on ethnicity as the key to internal colonialism.

Accepted Answer

Blauner's internal colonialism approach struggles to differentiate between groups that migrated voluntarily and those that were coerced, which is crucial for understanding the varied experiences of racial and ethnic groups in the U.S.

Question 11
