[Review Of] Nell Irvin Painter. Exodusters; Black Migration To Kansas After Reconstruction. And Robert G. Athearn. In Search Of Canaan: Black Migration To Kansas, 1879-80, Wilson J. Moses
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
In 1909 Walter L. Fleming published an article on “‘Pap’ Singleton, the Moses of the Colored Exodus,” in the American Journal of Sociology. Some forty years later, Herbert Aptheker in his Documentary History of the Negro People in the United States, responded to it somewhat disparagingly. The Black Exodus was not a “spontaneous movement inspired by a Moses in the guise of the aged Benjamin Singleton.” it was “the culmination of a steady process of migration and came in response to years of preparation.” In this process “the somewhat eccent?c Singleton” was only of secondary significance. It was Henry Adams, …

[Review Of] Edith Blicksilver. The Ethnic American Woman; Problems, Protests, Lifestyle, Elvira Craig De Silva
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Edith Blicksilver has compiled an extensive and varied series of articles, poems and narratives of personal experiences of the different female authors, covering the life spectrum of the Ethnic American Woman. They are presented in a logical and organized fashion, which provides structure but allows for flexibility in the themes. This adds to the enjoyment of the book and facilitates its reading.

Abstracts Of Papers Presented At The 8th Annual Conference On Ethnic And Minority Studies
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
On November 10, 1939 at Benedict College, a black institution in Columbia, black South Carolinians met to organize a state unit of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Poeple [People] (NAACP). The main objective of the new organization, the South Carolina Conference of NAACP, was to create an effective instrument to be used for propaganda, fund-raising and litigation purposes, and to function as a united front in the struggle to reclaim the ballot. From the outset, the State Conference sought to create a mass-supported organization. Membership drives were initiated to enlarge the existing branches and to set up …

Explorations in Ethnic Studies stands at another threshold. With the current issue. the present editor will hand over the editorial reins to Dr. Charles Irby. The present editor has brought Explorations through six issues and the foundation for the journal has been set. The criteria and standards have been hammered out. We now know that each article must explore new ground, set forth solutions to an ethnic issue, or structure a new model. It will not be easy to carry on the beginnings. Yet, if Ethnic Studies are to survive and flourish, the journal must go on and it must …

Concept Of Shame And The Mental Health Of Pacific Asian Americans, Masayuki Sato
Concept Of Shame And The Mental Health Of Pacific Asian Americans, Masayuki Sato
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
One priority of the Health Task group of the Conference on Pacific and Asian American Families (1978) was the need for research into the psychological and emotional problems of Pacific and Asian American (PAA) groups and their possible remedies. Specifically, the report identified the importance of shame in the education and socialization process of PAA families in controlling behavior. As a cultural characteristic among PAAs, shame or “saving face” remains an important concept to the individual, the family, the community, and to the racial group as a whole.
Back To The Basics: A New Challenge For The Black Church, James H. Williams
Back To The Basics: A New Challenge For The Black Church, James H. Williams
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The development of the Black community in America witnessed the Black Church exercising the unique function of assisting Blacks to gain a measure of economic strength. The opinion is ventured by Fordham that one of the most powerful and influential institutions to evolve within the Black community in the post-Civil War era was the Black Church. It was more than a religious institution: it was social, political, and economic institution all in one. Its early mutual aid societies cared for the sick, aged, and disabled; buried the dead of indigent families; provided financial support for widows and orphans; made loans; …

[Review Of] Leonard Dinnerstein, Roger L. Nichols, And David M. Reimers Natives And Strangers: Ethnic Groups And The Building Of America, TöNu Parming
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Although the past decade has witnessed a surge in the number of publications focusing on ethnic groups and ethnic issues, the genre of study which may be called “ethnic history of America”‘ is still weakly represented. As a relatively pioneering effort, the Dinnerstein, Nichols and Reimers book makes a valuable contribution, and it could be justifiably recommended for American history courses, American Society courses, and courses on ethnicity. The general periodization of history is good, and the important ethnic developments within each period are related effectively to the emergence and growth of the United States politically and economically as well …

Explorations in Ethnic Studies
These are seven monographs published by the Center on Aging at San Diego University (The Campanile Press, 1978). Each monograph is the result of a team of researchers investigating an ethnic group. These cross-cultural studies of minority elders in San Diego investigate samples of Blacks, Chinese, Japanese, Latinos, Philipinos, Samoans, and Guamanians aged 50 and over.
[Review Of] Judy H. Katz. White Awareness: Handbook For Anti-Racism Training, Helen G. Chapin
[Review Of] Judy H. Katz. White Awareness: Handbook For Anti-Racism Training, Helen G. Chapin
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
White Awareness has been created out of a personal and professional struggle and is designed to help whites understand and come to grips with personal, cultural, and institutional racism. The author was the child of refugees from Hitler’s Germany. She was further influenced by the social movements in the United States during the 1960’s. She has a vision of equality and a commitment to combatting the pathology of racism. Her practical orientation makes her concerned with action rather than self-indulgent or energy-wasting guilt.

[Review Of] Buchi Emecheta . The Joys Of Motherhood, Janet Cheatham Bell
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Whether this novel is touting motherhood or not, the author certainly makes it clear that being a mother is not a simple or an easy task. The setting is Nigeria prior to, during and after World War II, but there is much here with which any woman can identify, particularly if she is, or has mated.

Explorations in Ethnic Studies
As a guest editor, it seems most proper to give attention and thoughts to the National Association for Interdisciplinary Ethnic Studies (NAIES), which by its very nature is a unique and singular organization. We have little in common with the larger professional academic entities. We are small In membership, but have the capacity to operate on the national level.
One Decade And The Politics Of Ethnic Studies: Focus For The Future, Charles C. Irby
One Decade And The Politics Of Ethnic Studies: Focus For The Future, Charles C. Irby
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The first decade of coloured ethnic studies has passed quietly. This uncelebrated passing is probably more related to what did not occur in conceptual, methodological, and theoretical developments during the ten-year period than what did, in fact, happen. The decade can be characterized as one in which the ethnic studies movement suffered from intellectual dropsy. The politics of ethnic studies are all of those activities which have served to restrict its development.
Cultural Community, Cohesion And Constraint: Dynamics Of Life Satisfaction Among Aged Filipino Men Of Hawaii, Wayne S. Wooden, J. H. Monane
Cultural Community, Cohesion And Constraint: Dynamics Of Life Satisfaction Among Aged Filipino Men Of Hawaii, Wayne S. Wooden, J. H. Monane
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
In contrast to other elderly Asian-Americans (notably Japanese Americans and Chinese Americans), relatively little is known about aged Filipino Americans (Kalish & Yuen, 1971). This may be partly a function of their population size, as the Filipino aged in America are considerably less numerous than the elderly Japanese and Chinese Americans; the 1970 U.S. Censes (Census) of the Population finds only 21,249 Filipinos aged 65 and over in the U.S., 82% of them men. In addition, low economic and political status, recency of arrival and relative lack of militancy may contribute to this inattention. Kalish and Moriwaki (1973), focusing on …

[Review Of] Raymond L. Hall (Ed.). Ethnic Autonomy -- Comparative Dynamics: The Americas, Europe And The Developing World, Gary Y. Okihiro
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Hall has done us a service in putting together this wide-ranging collection of essays on ethnic separatist movements. The volume is particularly timely because of the twentieth century paradoxes of the drive for global unity and nationalism, and nationalism and a blossoming of ethnic separatist movements. (The book is not unique. See, 6.9. Chester L. Hunt and Lewis Walker, Ethnic Dynamics: Patterns of Intergroup Relations in Various Societies, Learning Publications, Inc., 1979.)

[Review Of] Tato Laviera. La Carreta Made A U-Turn, Wolfgang Binder
[Review Of] Tato Laviera. La Carreta Made A U-Turn, Wolfgang Binder
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The title of this new book of poetry from New York's Latino Lower East Side refers to a drama, La Carreta, by one of Puerto Rico’s most prestigious authors, René Marqués (1919-1979). It is generally considered one of the supreme artistic expressions of the collective Puerto Rican experience. At the end of the play the emigrants decide to leave New York City in an attempt to maintain their integrity and identity, to till the earth in the hills of Puerto Rico.
[Review Of] Linda Pegman Doezema (Ed.). Dutch Americans: A Guide To Information Sources, Lois J. Kalloway
[Review Of] Linda Pegman Doezema (Ed.). Dutch Americans: A Guide To Information Sources, Lois J. Kalloway
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Ethnic-immigration history was once primarily the domain of ethnic-immigration historians. Over the past fifteen years, however, the development of the new social history has shown that studies of ethnicity, class, cities, families, and workers are interdependent. Josef Barton's study of urban mobility, John Cumbler's analysis of workers' militancy, and Laurence Glasco’s examination of life cycles all demonstrate this point. This expanding interest by social analysts increases the need for comprehensive bibliographic studies in ethnicity. Linda Doezema’s recent monograph helps fill the void for one frequently neglected group -- the Dutch.
Personality Correlates Of Musical Talent, Walter W. Tunstall
Personality Correlates Of Musical Talent, Walter W. Tunstall
Theses and Dissertations
Existing commentary and research on the nature of musical talent was reviewed and found lacking in conception, primarily because previous researchers had failed to identify the unique creative element a musician contributes to a musical performance. The personality structures of 60 subjects, 32 males and 28 females, were analyzed via the 16PF. A Pearson Product Moment Correlation, an ANOVA, and a second order factor analysis were used to assess the relationship between personality and musical talent for 1) persons with little or no musical ability, 2) highly talented university music majors, and 3) professional performing musicians. Significant relationships were found …
Autonomic Responses Of Normals And Depressives To Stress Inducing Stimuli, Dennis Donat
Autonomic Responses Of Normals And Depressives To Stress Inducing Stimuli, Dennis Donat
Theses and Dissertations
A group of depressed (N=10) and a group of normal (N=10) were presented a series of stressor stimuli to assess several parameters of their physiological responses to these stimuli. The results indicated that the groups did not differ in their relative tendency to show maximal response specificity (consistently responding to stress with a maximum response in the same channel) or pattern stereotypy (the tendency to respond consistently in all physiological channels relative to each other). A multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA), of the levels of the physiological channels under conditions of rest, anticipation, and stress revealed a significant group effect. …
Age Differences In Attributions Of Causality: Implications For Intellectual Assessment, Thomas R. Prohaska
Age Differences In Attributions Of Causality: Implications For Intellectual Assessment, Thomas R. Prohaska
Theses and Dissertations
The present investigation was designed to test the hypothesis that failure experienced by the individual in a testing situation is moderated by causal attributions and these attributions influence subsequent test measures. The effect of manipulating cause (lack of effort or Lack of ability) to response-independent failure and its relationship to scores on the Reasoning, Hidden Patterns, and Paper Folding Test, in younger an older person's was investigated. The same measures were assessed in a group that experienced the same response-independent-failure but with no explanation offered as to the cause for the failure, a group that was not given any information …
