The Lumbee Problem: The Making of an American Indian People
HIS SET OF PAPERS ANALYZES the redefinition of ethnic relations occurring as new Asian immigrants confront a society that historically has been rigidly polarized around a black/white dichotomy. The articles are the product of a coordinated set of projects undertaken in St. Louis, Missouri, by a team of anthropologists in 1987-88 and complemented by follow-up research continuing through mid-1989. Preliminary versions were presented at a symposium on "Disordered Discrimination" held at the 1988 meetings of the American Ethnological Society. The papers are set in a political-economic theoretical framework that relates patterns of ethnicity and gender to structural transformations in the regional economy and the organization of the local labor market. Nevertheless, our underlying theoretical message is a call to revalue culture and ideology as driving forces in social processes. The insights of political-economic approachesâeven those with a materialist focusâneed not tend toward economic reductionism. Our examination of the changing parameters of cultural diversity in the American Midwest demonstrates with full ethnographic detail that ideas powerfully embedded around race and gender can be creatively recharged into new patterns of ideologicalâand ultimately political and economicâdomination. St. Louis provides an important case.for the examination of ethnic confrontations in an inner-city context
