Abstract

ABSTRACT This article analyzes a Taiwanese learning experience about the U.S. Civil Rights Movement, launching an educational project with 18 Taiwanese high school students to discuss their understanding of race, racism, and social justice. The rationale of analyzing the student participants’ comments rests on critical race theory. After analysis, this study found that Han ethnocentrism functions as a hidden identity and value system to influence the student participants to respond to racial issues. Han ethnocentrism caused the participants focusing on the racial experiences in Han groups and narrowed their understandings to the world. However, the result of this research also indicated that with a proper introduction, participants were willing and capable of developing racial sensitivity and affirmative attitudes about social justice toward minorities in Taiwan, such as Taiwanese Aboriginals and Southeast Asian migrant workers.

教授美国民权运动及其在台湾的遗产:台湾高中班级种族意识的探索

摘要本文分析了台湾对美国民权运动的学习经历。美国民权运动发起了一个教育项目，邀请了18名台湾高中生讨论他们对种族、种族主义和社会正义的理解。分析学生参与者评论的基本原理是基于批判性种族理论。经过分析，本研究发现，汉族民族中心主义作为一种隐藏的身份和价值体系，影响着学生参与者对种族问题的反应。汉族的民族中心主义使参与者关注汉族群体的种族经历，缩小了对世界的理解。然而，这项研究的结果也表明，在适当的介绍下，参与者愿意并有能力发展对台湾少数民族（如台湾原住民和东南亚移民工人）社会正义的种族敏感性和肯定态度。

期刊介绍： In the twenty-first century ethnic issues have assumed importance in many parts of the world. Until recently, questions of Asian ethnicity and identity have been treated in a balkanized fashion, with anthropologists, economists, historians, political scientists, sociologists and others publishing their studies in single-discipline journals. Asian Ethnicity provides a cross-disciplinary, international venue for the publication of well-researched articles about ethnic groups and ethnic relations in the half of the world where questions of ethnicity now loom largest. Asian Ethnicity covers any time period, although the greatest focus is expected to be on the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
