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.

[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.

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.

[Review Of] Lois Weis, Ed. Class, Race, & Gender In American Education, Margaret A. Laughlin

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 …
