- Title
REPLY TO COMMENT BY STRYKER.
- Authors
Bonacich, Edna
- Abstract
The author of this article responds to comments by sociologist Sheldon Stryker. Stryker's point is well taken. The author has indeed ignored the variation in responses faced by middleman minorities. Not only the Parsis, but the Japanese in Brazil and the Jerbans in Tunisia among others, have not faced major efforts to dislocate them. Yet this hodgepodge of countries makes her wonder whether Stryker is right that "emergent nationalism" is the critical variable. Brazil and Tunisia are both nation-states, and neither remotely resembles the emphasis on locality grouping found in caste India. She would strongly suspect that there is evidence of negative feelings against the Parsis among certain groups in India. After all, they were notorious for collaborating with the British. And it is hard to imagine that their wealth did not excite some stereotypes of "stinginess" and "clanishness."
