[Review Of] John L. Hodge, Donald K. Struckmann, And Lynn Dorland Trost, Cultural Bases Of Racism And Group Oppression: An Examination Of Traditional "Western" Concepts, Values, And Institutional Structures Which Support Racism, Sexism And Elitism, Lillie Alexis
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Dualism, a concept that simply tends to view the world in terms of “either-or” categories rather than “both . . . and,” has been examined and analyzed as the primary contributor to and cause of Western domination. The dangers of dualistic thinking are, according to Hodge et al., habit forming and unconscious. The Western practitioners of such thinking trace their ideology to the ancient Greek philosophers whose ideas support and reinforce existing oppressive patterns.

Joint Faculty Appointments: An Administrative Dilemma In Chicano Studies, Eugene E. Garcia
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
A comprehensive proposal for an academic program in Chicano Studies for the University of California, Santa Barbara, was submitted to the Executive Committee of the College of Letters and Science on April A, 1969. The program evolved from an extensive investigation of the assessed needs of the local Chicano community, the role of the University toward that community, and the general responsibility of the University to the student community with respect to educational and research endeavors related to the Chicano.

[Review Of] Barry D. Adam. The Survival Of Domination, Georgina Ashworth
[Review Of] Barry D. Adam. The Survival Of Domination, Georgina Ashworth
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The project area of The Survival of Domination is of great importance; the title is splendid; the Elsevier presentation is excellent. Yet it disappoints. The author sets out to examine the invisible mechanisms that keep social groups in their place when the overt legal discrimination against them may have been tinkered with sufficiently to remove its worst effects. Barry Adam is very specific about his intentions to focus on the every- day strategies oppressed communities evolve and use, individually and as members of that community, to survive.
[Review Of] Joseph Hraba. American Ethnicity, Barbara Hiura
[Review Of] Joseph Hraba. American Ethnicity, Barbara Hiura
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Hraba uses the social science disciplines--i.e., sociology, history, and psychology--to set the scope of his research on American ethnicity. Hraba combines the theoretical premises of assimilation, pluralism, and ethnic conflict theory as methods for Viewing ethnic group convergence to and divergence from American society. "Each theory is only a partial explanation of societal modernization and ethnic evolution . . . and together they offer a fuller understanding of ethnic evolution in the modernization process" (p. 7). Societal modernization and ethnic evolution are keys for understanding the convergence (inclusion) and divergence (exclusion) process.
[Review Of] Ruth Nulton Moore. TomáS And The Talking Birds, Ricardo A. ValdéS
[Review Of] Ruth Nulton Moore. TomáS And The Talking Birds, Ricardo A. ValdéS
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Children's literature should be of great importance to all of us, regardless of whether we are parents. The opinions and social views assimilated in childhood will often have long-lasting and far-reaching effects. Western novels as well as cowboy movies bear a great deal of the responsibility for the attitude of many Americans that Indians are, for the most part, treacherous savages and, at best, the sidekick to a masked white man. Tomás and the Talking Birds is at once both encouraging and disappointing. It is encouraging because it is responding to a great need in our society, but it is …

Abstracts Of Papers Presented At The 7th Annual Conference On Ethnic And Minority Studies
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
This paper reviews some of the most salient aspects of E. M. Rogg's (1974) seminal work, The Assimilation of Cuban Exiles; The Role of Community and Class--a sociological study of the Cuban community in the town of West New York in northeastern New Jersey. Although taking issue with some of the author's theses, this paper elaborates on other findings of the book in question by means of more recent participant-observation field research in the same neighborhood. For example, the new data confirms Rogg's proposition that the organized ethnic minority helps to direct the process of acculturation, though slowly.

Explorations in Ethnic Studies
What will remain of Ethnic Studies in the 1980's? At the 7th Annual Conference on Ethnic and Minority Studies, away from the formal sessions and speakers, one heard a good deal of gloom and doom regarding the future of Ethnic Studies. The same dismal theme was present at several other major national conferences held during Spring 1979. It would be easy to conclude that Ethnic Studies is on its last legs and quietly will fade into oblivion.
