AMERİKAN MİLLİYETÇİLİĞİ İLE IRKÇILIK ARASINDAKİ İLİŞKİ: ETNİK AYRIMCILIĞIN IRKÇI BOYUTLARI

Abstract

Irkçılık, Amerikan toplumuna halen daha etkileri görülebilen bir olgudur. Irkçılığın Amerika’da halden daha etkili olması Amerikan milliyetçiliği ile olan ilişkisinden kaynaklanmaktadır. Amerikan milliyetçiliği bir taraftan etnik sınırlamaların olmadığı, kültürel bir takım değerlerin hakim olduğu bir ulus kimlik anlayışını ileri sürmekteyken; diğer taraftan kendi içerisinde etnik sınırlayıcı dinamikleri barındırmaktadır. Bu çalışma Amerikan milliyetçiliğinin, çelişkili yapısından dolayı, ırkçılığı etnik ayrımcılığın bir aracı olarak kullandığını iddia etmektedir. Bunu ortaya koyabilmek için öncelikle Amerikan milliyetçiliğinin çelişkili karakteristiği incelenmiştir. Irkçılık ile Amerikan milliyetçiliği arasındaki ilişki ise bu bağlamda ele alınmıştır.

Abstract

The effects of racism can still be observed in American society. The fact that racism is still effective in America is due to its relation to American nationalism. While American nationalism claims a nation of cultural values and rejects the idea of ethic discrimination; it also carries dynamics of ethnic discrimination. This study claims that American nationalism uses racism as an instrument of ethnic discrimination because of its contradictory structure. To demonstrate this, the contradictory structure of American nationalism has been examined first. Then the relationship between American nationalism and racism are discussed in this context.
