[Review Of] Ralph David Abernathy. And The Walls Came Tumbling Down: An Autobiography, Keith D. Miller
[Review Of] Ralph David Abernathy. And The Walls Came Tumbling Down: An Autobiography, Keith D. Miller
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
When this book appeared, major elements of the press selected a tiny fragment for a front-page story worthy of the National Enquirer. Unfortunately, journalists virtually ignored the book as a whole, preferring to sensationalize Abernathy's "revelations" about the sex life of Martin Luther King, Jr. As a result, Abernathy became a pariah; when he died several months later, the recent controversy dominated many obituary notices.
Critique [Of "What Shall I Give My Children?" The Role Of The Mentor In Gloria Naylor's The Women Of Brewster Place And Paule Marshall's Praisesong For The Widow By Linda Wells], Suzanne Stutman
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
In her article "'What Shall I Give My Children?': The Role of the Mentor in Gloria Naylor's The Women of Brewster Place and Paule Marshall's Praisesong for the Widow," Wells focuses upon the woman's role as mentor in various works of modem African American women writers. In using Gwendolyn Brooks' poem as the cornerstone of her study, she establishes the sense of anguish and frustration faced by the mother who seeks to give to her children a sense of worth and self-esteem in a society which automatically disenfranchises them. She poses an important question -- one that goes beyond the …

[Review Of] John F. Crawford, William Balassi, And Annie O. Eysturoy, Eds. This Is About Vision: Interviews With Southwestern Writers, Jennifer L. Scoutten
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
This Is About Vision: Interviews with Southwestern Writers is a compilation of sixteen interviews. The writers are ordered chronologically by date of birth, and there is a strong sense of movement from older ideas about the Southwest represented by authors such as Frank Waters to the development of new cultural values and ideas with younger writers like Rudolfo Anaya and Luci Tapahonso. Each of the interviews is prefaced by biographic information as well as a selected bibliography. Crawford's introduction to the book is thorough and provides a "map" or guide to the thematic development of the interviews.
"What Shall I Give My Children?" The Role Of The Mentor In Gloria Naylor's The Women Of Brewster Place And Paule Marshall's Praisesong For The Widow, Linda Wells
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The question Gwendolyn Brooks asks in her poem "What Shall I Give My Children?" is a central question asked by African Americans: how can I who am considered less than perfect by mainstream America give to my children a sense of their own self-worth? In a culture where being poor, black, and female triply marginalizes an individual, what kind of consciousness develops from such marginality? How does such marginality carry over into the next generation and into the community of other women? How does the power of mentoring and affiliation help women to overcome the institutional oppression leveled against them …

Explorations in Sights and Sounds
With a rapidly increasing minority population in the United States, it is more important than ever for both future and experienced teachers to recognize and appreciate the diversity of young people enrolled in our schools. By the year 2000 it is projected that one of three or more students will be part of an ethnic minority. In some cities and states, minority background students are already the majority school population. Teachers will be facing more and more students from different ethnic, cultural, language, religious, and socio-economic backgrounds. Many classes will include special needs students who are gifted, handicapped, or both. …

With the rise of Filipino nationalism in the sixties and the consequent resort to literature written in Filipino and the vernacular, Philippine writing in English ebbed in importance. At that decisive juncture of national crisis, the verdict was made that Philippine literature in English had reached a dead end. Scholars and critics produced searching critiques of aesthetic orthodoxies and turned their attention to other cultural legacies. This reversal of fortunes for the literature in English after four decades of undisputed hegemony in Philippine cultural life partly explains why its history remains unwritten.

For the third year in a row, Conference participants were greeted with snow and ice; however, the chilly weather was not indicative of the warmth generated in sessions and special events planned by Conference organizers Larry Estrada and Jeannie Ortega. The theme, "Ethnicity, Justice, and the National Experience," was addressed by plenary session speakers Tom Romero and Dana Sims. Ray Rodrigues and Keith Miser presented a model for dealing with diversity on campus with the "Colorado State University Perspective on Diversity. "Orage Quarles III, president and publisher of the Fort ColIins Coloradan, eloquently addressed participants at the banquet with his …
[Review Of] Lois Weis, Ed. Class, Race, & Gender In American Education, Margaret A. Laughlin
[Review Of] Lois Weis, Ed. Class, Race, & Gender In American Education, Margaret A. Laughlin
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Class, Race & Gender in American Education should be read by preservice and experienced educators and social scientists who are interested in teaching young people who come from different socioeconomic backgrounds, represent various racial and ethnic heritages, and those with special needs. School as a major socializing institution often holds the key for many students. It is also important to study the ways individuals and groups prepare for the future. Some students are successful in school settings, but many become discouraged and are pushed out due to the structure and/or culture of the school. This volume seeks to enrich this …
