“…Previous research suggests that all three scenarios are possible. Research has found cooperation among minority groups in a "rainbow coalition" approach (Henry 1980;Browning, Marshall, andTabb 1984, 1990;McClain and Karnig 1990;Sonenshein 1990Sonenshein , 1993Muñoz and Henry 1990;Henry and Muñoz 1991;Saito 1993;Stewart 1993;Regalado 1994). Intra-minority coalitions have been formed around issues as diverse as immigration (Espiritu 1992), civil rights, and poverty (Estrada, Garcia, and Marcias 1981) among others.…”

This article examines the political relationships between Latinos and African Americans in 194 multiracial school districts. The empirical results indicate that at times the relationship between Latinos and African Americans is competitive and at times it is complimentary. When scarcity is a factor, such as in administrative and teaching positions, gains by one group often result in losses by another. When the focus changes to policy questions where scarcity is not a factor (e.g., student performance), both groups gain at the same time.

“…African Americans, for example, tend to be assertive and animated in their communication when trying to make or win a point, demonstrating a preference for directness and openness (Kochman, 1981;Stewart, 1993). Outside of Blauner (1972) and Albert's (1986) work, little research exists with regard to styles of communication among Hispanics.…”

This research is a case study of change and racial/ethnic conflict in the Dallas, Texas, Independent School District (DISD). Data are drawn from observations of monthly meetings of the school board. The focus is on communication as cultural projection among African American and Mexican American delegations at meetings and on the reactions evoked in board decision making. No evidence was found of Black-Brown coalition building; however, findings suggest that different styles of communication influence the treatment African American andMexican American groups receive and ultimately may affect their access to the scarce resources of public education.

“…The majority of studies on African American-Korean immigrant interactions tend to limit their analytical scope within the framework of the problematic and unsuccessful nature of the interactions (i.e. Bailey, 1997;Chang, 1990;Jo, 1992;Lee, 1993;Min, 1996;Park, 1990Park, , 1996Stewart, 1989Stewart, , 1993. Those studies all seem to agree on the common theme that, regardless of the different claims of each study on what causes the problem and conflict, frequent miscommunication and confrontation are inherent and bound to happen in interactions between Koreans and African Americans.…”

This study presents an in-depth analysis of talk between Korean immigrant shopkeepers and their African-American customers in service encounters. The data were collected through 9 months of fieldwork in Korean immigrant-owned stores. Despite the widely publicized conflict and tension between African Americans and Korean immigrants in service encounters, the results of this study reveal frequent incidents of positive and harmonious encounters between the participants in the stores. The study argues that a disproportionate focus toward the negative and conflictive nature of African American-Korean interactions is evident in existing research in the field. The study claims that there exists an equally positive aspect of interactions between African-American customers and Korean shopkeepers during service encounter interactions that is obscured by prevailing research. This article focuses on describing this positive and friendly aspect of interactions realized through the participants’ use of specific rapport-building strategies.
