Critique [Of Institutional Racism], James A. Perry
Critique [Of Institutional Racism], James A. Perry
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
For those who see institutional racism as a problem which can be solved, the points of focus by Deloria are these: An institution is a "person" with a personality shaped by western-culture; and institutional racism is a phenomenon created by western culture. The idea that an institution is a “person” with a personality of its own is not new; the legal profession has held that a corporation, and therefore, an institution, is a “person” protected by the fourth amendment of the Constitution.

As Deloria indicates in the opening lines of his essay, the dominant paradigm of racism in the 1960s reflected the popularly held belief that racism was an individual phenomena. Consequently. if racist individuals were confronted and curtailed or converted, the argument concluded, then discrimination would come to an end. However, history has shown us that we can have racist institutions without having racist individuals. For instance, our education institutions perpetuate racial, as well as sex, inequality. Yet it is possible for every member of such an institution to be non-racist, as well as non-sexist.

Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Vine Deloria’s incisive analysis of institutional racism in western culture applies equally well to the related problem of institutional sexism. Both women, and minorities especially individual members of minority racial groups who are immediately recognizable by members of the dominant white culture - belong to a caste rather than a class in western society. As such, we are all subjected by the traditions of white male philosophical. and intellectual processes as much as by existing socio-political institutions to the different varieties of exclusion, co-optation and disempowerment that Deloria outlines. In the past decade particularly, women’s situation in American political and …

Critique [Of Some Symbols Of Identity Of Byzantine Catholics], Michele Zak
Critique [Of Some Symbols Of Identity Of Byzantine Catholics], Michele Zak
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Two primary assumptions appear to inform this descriptive article about Byzantine Catholic communities in the United States: (1) old traditions are maintained in new environments through “syncretism”; and (2) the symbols that emerge in those syncretisms are reflective of the world view of the ethnic group that created them.

Some Symbols Of Identity Of Byzantine Catholics, Zora Devrnja Zimmerman
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Unraveling the tangle of theses that shape the Skovira essay, “Some Symbols of Identity of Byzantine Catholics," exposes not only the intersecting dimensions of ethnicity but also the complex nature of semiotics. Before we can accept the author’s concluding remarks on symbols, we need to consider the ramifications of these various theses. It so happens that the two major theses clash: one suggests ethnic assimilation; the other implies a strengthening of national identity. Perhaps some clarity can be achieved if we consider these themes separately.

Critique [Of Racial Intelligence Testing And The Mexican People], Richard Santillan
Critique [Of Racial Intelligence Testing And The Mexican People], Richard Santillan
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Gilbert Gonzalez’s “Racial Intelligence Testing and the Mexican People" is a major contribution in analyzing the educational factors which result in social inequality among the Mexican population in the US. For decades, the power elite has espoused the myth that educational achievement for minorities is the key to social upward mobility. Instead, Gonzalez views education as a system which perpetuates and maintains racial and class divisions in our society.
