“…Again, the United States has shown both forms, with a racial caste system in the South and exclusion of Asian and 'new' immigrants from the Pacific and eastern seaboards respectively (Bonacich 1972:548). This theory has previously been used to understand a number of phenomenon including higher education (Jacques 1980) and non-sectarian social movements (Nagle 2013), anti-immigrant sentiment in mainland China (Downes 2017) and racial-gender analysis in nonstandard employment (Branch and Harley 2017). In the exclusion movement, efforts are made to prevent an ethnically different group from becoming part of the society.…”

Although recent analyses on Chinese entrepreneurship in Africa attempt a departure from African opposition and present Africans response as more nuanced. Little is known of the characteristics and considerations that shape the complex positions of Africans to Chinese entrepreneurship in the distribution sector. This paper argues that Ghanaian trade actors' response to the presence of Chinese traders is a function of their socio-demographic characteristics and trading capacity. While the young, educated and large scale importers are opposed to their presence, the old, lowly educated and small scale traders and other allies forge various relationships of mutual benefits with the Chinese.

Using the data collection techniques of historical analysis, secondary analysis of EEO‐6 records, mailed questionnaires, and personal interviews, race relations among trustees, administrators, and faculty in the southeastern United States were examined during the late 1970s and early 1980s. The conclusion that blacks at traditionally white institutions (TWI) (1) had more tenuous job status, (2) experienced less job satisfaction, (3) experienced greater degrees of institutional alienation, and (4) more often stated a need for affirmative action programs than did their white colleagues at the same institution will surprise no one. Similar patterns and perceptions were found for whites at traditionally black institutions (TBI) where whites were in the “minority.” Although whites at TBIs remained members of the societal majority group as traditionally defined in the sociology of intergroup relations, their position and perceptions within specific TBIs were remarkably similar to the experience of black professionals at TWIs. Some implications for policy are drawn.
