Afro-Americans

  • 1 Afro-Americans

    Этнорасовая общность, потомки африканских рабов, завезенных в США в XVII-XIX вв. Выражение, заменившее в 60-е годы XX в. слово "негры" [ Negro; Negroes]; с 70-х годов применяется наравне с выражением "чернокожие" ("черные") [ blacks]. Согласно данным переписи населения 2000, в США проживают 34,6 млн. афро-американцев. Говорят на американском варианте английского языка [ American English] и на негритянском диалекте [black English; Ebonics]. В фольклоре, музыкальной культуре и религиозной практике сохраняется влияние африканских традиций. Внесли значительный вклад в культуру (особенно в музыку) и спорт.

  • 15 New Jerseyite

    джерсиец, житель штата Нью-Джерси
    Население штата составляет 8,4 млн. человек (2000), а плотность населения - самая высокая в стране. Начиная с 1880-х большинство джерсийцев - горожане (1/3 населения живет в городах Джерси-Сити, Ньюарк и Патерсон). Этнический состав очень разнообразен. В начале XIX в. большинство составляли выходцы из Северной Европы, к середине века к ним прибавились южные и восточные европейцы, по окончании Гражданской войны [ Civil War] сюда в поисках работы перебрались многие бывшие рабы. В 1990 афро-американцы [ Afro-Americans] составляли 13,4 процента населения, испаноязычные [ Hispanic Americans] - 10 процентов. Недавно образовались крупные общины евреев из СССР и вьетнамцев. Сегодня самая быстрорастущая этническая группа штата - выходцы из Азии. Среди других крупных этнических групп американцы итальянского [ Italian-Americans], немецкого [ German-Americans] и польского [ Polish-Americans] происхождения. Самые крупные религиозные группы - католики и иудеи - сконцентрированы в городах; в сельской местности доминируют протестанты

  • 16 immigration

    Образование американской нации происходило в условиях постоянной иммиграции; США часто называют "страной иммигрантов" [ Nation of Immigrants]. Фактически все население США - это иммигранты в первом поколении или потомки иммигрантов, за исключением индейцев, предками которых были кочевые народы Азии. Этот факт оказал значительное влияние на формирование национального характера американцев. Первыми иммигрантами можно считать европейских колонистов. Испанцы основали поселения во Флориде около 1500, в 1604 было основано французское поселение на территории современного штата Мэн. В 1607 первые 105 английских колонистов создали поселение Джеймстаун [ Jamestown] (ныне штат Вирджиния), а в 1620 английские пилигримы [ Pilgrims], пуритане, прибывшие в Новый Свет в стремлении создать "Царство Божие на Земле", или "Град на холме" [ City upon the Hill], основали Плимутскую колонию [ Plymouth Colony] в Новой Англии [ New England]. К 1780 каждые три из четырех американцев были выходцами из Англии или Ирландии. В 1619-1808 в страну было ввезено около 500 тыс. рабов из Африки, сегодня афро-американцы [ Afro-Americans] составляют около 12 процентов населения. До конца XIX в. США практически не ограничивали въезд. За период между 1820, когда начался учет вновь прибывающих, и 1890 в страну приехали 15,4 млн. иммигрантов, в основном из Западной и Северной Европы (Великобритания, Ирландия, Германия, Скандинавские страны и др.). Пик иммиграции пришелся на 1849-60. За т.н. старой иммиграцией [old immigration] последовала новая иммиграция [ New Immigration] (1891-1920), волны которой привели в страну 18,2 млн. человек большей частью выходцев из Южной и Восточной Европы (Италия, Австро-Венгрия, Россия, Румыния и др.). С 1875 Конгресс стал принимать решения о запрете на въезд определенным категориям иммигрантов, начав с преступников, а затем отнеся к нежелательным категориям [exclusion] нищих, больных, проституток, алкоголиков, неграмотных, анархистов и марксистов, но это оказалось малоэффективным, так как их число составляло в среднем около 1 процента приезжавших. Конгресс стал вводить ограничения по этническому признаку. В 1882 был запрещен въезд китайцам (см Chinese Exclusion Acts), в 1907 - японцам (см Japanese Americans). Иммиграционные законы [ Immigration Acts] 1921, 1924 и 1952 утвердили систему квот, установившую "потолок" на ежегодное число иммигрантов определенной этнической группы, а также предпочтение приему выходцев из развитых европейских стран. После второй мировой войны как особую группу США стали принимать беженцев. Иммиграционный закон 1965 [ Immigration Act of 1965] отменил систему квот и ввел новые критерии приема. Увеличился приток иммигрантов из Южной и Восточной Европы. К началу 70-х число иммигрантов из Азии превысило число европейских иммигрантов, повысилось число приезжающих из стран Латинской Америки [ Hispanic Americans]. В 1980-85 в страну (легально и нелегально) въезжало до 3 млн. человек. В 1986 был принят Закон о реформе и контроле иммиграционной политики [ Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986], внесший значительные изменения в положение нелегальных иммигрантов [ illegal alien]. Основные федеральные ведомства, занимающиеся вопросами иммиграции: Служба иммиграции и натурализации [ Immigration and Naturalization Service], Исполнительное управление по надзору за иммиграцией [Executive Office of Immigration Review] и другие подразделения Министерства юстиции [ Department of Justice, U.S.].

    Русско-английский учебный словарь > негр

  • 18 black college

    Любой колледж или университет [ black university], созданный специально для афро-американцев [ Afro-Americans], для которых они являются предметом гордости, так как многие их выпускники занимают лидирующие позиции в различных областях. В середине 80-х гг. XX в. их было 99, из них 56 частных. Большинство находятся в южных штатах [ South]. Примерно еще в 70 колледжах низшей ступени [ junior college], основанных в 70-е гг., большинство студентов - негры. Хотя отдельные попытки создавать колледжи для негров предпринимались еще до Гражданской войны [ Civil War], большинство из них были основаны после нее. В сотрудничестве с Бюро по делам освобожденных рабов [ Freedman's Bureau] и несмотря на угрозы, избиения и убийства, на Юге этой деятельностью активно занялись религиозные группы негров и белых северян ([ Baptists, Congregationalists, Methodists, Presbyterians]). Первоначально под названием "колледж" были основаны начальные и средние школы. Эти колледжи в период легализованной сегрегации [ segregation] на Юге и из-за нежелания колледжей и университетов на Севере [ North] принимать афро-американцев вплоть до 60-х гг. XX в. давали неграм почти единственную возможность получить образование. В начале XX в. вопрос о специализации колледжей (технической или гуманитарной) стал предметом дебатов между Б. Вашингтоном [ Washington, Booker Taliaferro] и У. И. Б. Дюбуа [ Du Bois, William Edward Burghardt (W. E. B.)]. Кроме разработки специальных учебных программ [ Afro-American studies], сегодня деятельность этих колледжей включает помощь малообеспеченным семьям, работу в бедных городских кварталах и т.п. Среди проблем "черных" колледжей - недобор студентов, недостаток средств, текучесть кадров, угроза слияния с более обеспеченными "белыми" вузами и потери своего лица с отменой сегрегации, поиски новых методов в педагогике и своего места в афро-американской культуре.

    I
    Штат на Юго-Западе [ Southwest] в группе Горных штатов [ Mountain States]. Площадь 295,3 тыс. кв. км. Население 5,1 млн. человек (2000). Столица Финикс [ Phoenix]. Крупнейшие города - Тусон [ Tucson], Меса [ Mesa], Глендейл [ Glendale]. Граничит на востоке с Нью-Мексико [ New Mexico], на юге с Мексикой, на западе с Калифорнией [ California] и Невадой [ Nevada]. Имеет статус штата с 1912 (48-й по счету штат). На севере плато Колорадо [ Colorado Plateau], прорезанное глубокими каньонами рек [ Grand Canyon], значительную часть которого занимает пустыня Пейнтед [ Painted Desert]. Юго-западную часть занимает пустыня Хила [Gila Desert], юго-восточную - пустыня Сонора [Sonoran Desert]. Субтропический континентальный сухой климат, мягкие снежные зимы. Штат имеет развитое многоотраслевое сельское хозяйства (более 60% прибыли дает овцеводство, выращивание хлопка). Полезные ископаемые: более 50% национальных запасов меди, а также запасы золота, серебра, цинка, урана, молибдена и др. Индустриальное развитие началось после второй мировой войны, важнейшую роль играет электронная промышленность, сконцентрированная вокруг г. Финикса. Аризона была испанской территорией с 1539, в 1821 передана Мексике. По договору Гуадалупе-Идальго [ Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo] (1848) большая часть Аризоны отошла к США, в 1853-54 по условиям покупки Гадсдена [ Gadsden Purchase] были приобретены земли до р. Хила [ Gila River]. После второй мировой войны штат пережил стремительный рост населения, привлеченного теплым климатом и открывшимися рабочими местами. В 70-е гг. прирост населения на 3/4 определялся количеством приезжих; в 1980-90 он составил 35 процентов. Большинство аризонцев - белые горожане, около 19 процентов - испаноязычные [ Hispanics], большинство из которых мексиканцы [ Mexican-Americans], живущие, в основном, в южных городах и горнодобывающих центрах. Индейцы составляют 5,6 процента (около 204 тыс. человек) - штат по их количеству на третьем месте в стране. Основные племена - навахо [ Navajo], хопи [ Hopi], юма [ Yuma], апачи [ Apache], явапаи [ Yavapai], пима [ Pima] и папаго [ Papago]. Афро-американцы [ Afro-Americans] составляют около 3 процентов и живут, в основном, в районе Финикса и Тусона. Большинство аризонцев - протестанты, в штате также большие группы католиков и мормонов [ Mormons]. Традиционно республиканский штат. В 1988 губернатор штата Э. Мечам [Mecham, Evan] был подвергнут импичменту [ impeachment].
