[Review Of] Barry T. Klein. Reference Encyclopedia Of The American Indian, Douglas Kachel

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

First published in 1967, this is an indispensable resource for information about the current Indian population and its affairs. The title may be misleading since information about the Canadian Indian population is also provided. It does not offer any chronological history of the North American Indian complete with pictures and maps, such as Carl Waldman's classical work, Atlas of the North American Indians, but instead provides a basic reference directory of current (1986) Indian activities, organizations, resources, and a "who's who" in the Indian culture.

[Review Of] Sally M. Miller, Ed. The Ethnic Press In The United States: A Historical Analysis And Handbook, Roberta J. Astroff, Andrew Feldman

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

This book is first and foremost a much-needed reference text. It fills a scholarly void in media history by presenting the press histories of twenty-eight immigrant groups.

[Review Of] James North. Freedom Rising, Judith E. O'Dell

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Freedom Rising seeks to personalize for the reader the dehumanizing effects of apartheid, the political and economic system in South Africa which is based on race. This is accomplished by providing the reader with an understanding of the nature of apartheid, by showing how it affects the lives of the people who live within its reach, and by providing a history of the resistance to apartheid. The book itself is a chronicle of the people North encountered and the places he visited during his four and one half years of traveling in South Africa and its neighboring countries. For the …

[Review Of] Richard Newman, Comp. Black Access: A Bibliography Of Afro-American Bibliographies, Richard L. Herrnstadt

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Richard Newman, who has previously published a number of bibliographies on various subjects in Afro-American studies, has made an important contribution to that field with his compilation of Black Access: A Bibliography of Afro-American Bibliographies, a listing of over 13,000 bibliographies. The book also includes a pleasant and informative introductory essay, "Fifty Years of Collecting," by Dorothy B. Porter, librarian emerita at Howard University.

[Review Of] C. Peter Ripley, Ed. The Black Abolitionist Papers, Vol. 1: The British Isles, 1830-1865, Orville W. Taylor

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

From 1830 until 1865, hundreds of American, Canadian, and West Indian blacks went to the British Isles and became active in the antislavery movement, which in 1833 reached a peak there with abolition of slavery in the Empire but was only beginning to gain momentum in the United States. They represented the full spectrum of free or fugitive Western Hemisphere blacks: some were well-known antislavery speakers and writers such as Frederick Douglass and Martin Delany; others were originally unknowns such as John Andrew Jackson, who spoke in "the peculiar broken dialect of the negro," and John Brown, whose language was …

[Review Of] Werner Sollors. Beyond Ethnicity: Consent And Descent In American Culture, Barbara Hiura

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Sollors writes a provocative assessment of ethnic literature within American culture. He substantiates the premise that ethnic literature is American literature and is historically and ideologically grounded in the established American immigrant pattern. Sollors develops a theoretical base for understanding immigrant/ethnic literature from its Puritan beginnings to the multiethnic reflection of American contemporary society. Rather than being outside the American tradition, immigrant writings are "not only expressions of mediation between cultures but also [act] as handbooks of socialization into the codes of Americanness." He says that immigrant writers express their dualistic role as inheriting characteristics from their ancestors (descent) and …

[Review Of] William K. Powers. Beyond The Vision: Essays On American Indian Culture, Richard F. Fleck

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Powers' collection of seven essays (mostly about Lakota culture) is of great value to students of Native American Studies. They vary in approach and topic from ethnomusicology to art, religion, and psychology. In his preface Powers pays tribute to Levi-Strauss' structuralist theory and its usefulness to American Indian cultural studies. But Powers qualifies his tribute by suggesting that because structuralism has its limitations, eclecticism is more appropriate for his purposes.

[Review Of] Donald M. Taylor And Fathali M. Moghaddam. Theories Of Intergroup Relations: International Social Psychological Perspectives, Linda Gonzalves

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

This ambitious book comes at a time when the resurgence of intergroup conflict sounds a despairing note to those of us who have spent more years than we care to count struggling for a united front against an oppressive ruling class. To keep heart we need to periodically focus on the progress that has been made and, in Mao's words, review our accomplishments and transgressions in order to "make the past serve the present." For those of us working in the academic enterprise, this means that the tools of our trade, our theories and our methods, must be criticized and …

[Review Of] Gilbert L. Wilson. Buffalo Bird Woman's Garden: Agriculture Of The Hidatsa Indians, Norma C. Wilson

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Buffalo Bird Woman's Garden was originally published in 1917 as Agriculture of the Hidatsa Indians: An Indian Interpretation. First written as Wilson's doctoral dissertation, the book is particularly informative about the gardening techniques of Hidatsa women. The narrative voice is that of Maxidiwiac (Buffalo Bird Woman). Thus, the book fits within the genre of as-told-to autobiography; however, the narrative is more focused and detailed than Wilson's general autobiography of the same woman, Waheenee: An Indian Girl's Story, published in 1921.

The Co-Opting Of Ethnic Studies In The American University: A Critical View, Jesse M. Vazquez

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

The birth of ethnic studies in the American university was accompanied by the politics and pedagogy of rage, pride, and mistrust for the then prevailing curricular academic structures and its tradition-bound, academically conservative gatekeepers. The campus take-overs, student demands, and confrontations were a common expression of the times, and concomitantly these were also shapers of the changing times. The presence or absence of ethnic minority faculty and students in our universities was and continues to be one of many indices by which we measure the willingness of this society to live up to its responsibility and promise to guarantee expanding …

Ethnic Studies Past And Present: Towards Shaping The Future, Otis L. Scott

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Ethnic Studies as a curriculum at predominantly white colleges and universities remains a relatively new phenomenon in academe. The recent history of these formations can be traced back to the several social change movements of the 1960s. These changes, spearheaded by the civil rights movement and the black student protests in the South in early 1960s, provided the impetus for the social change spillover which many college and university campuses were to experience in earnest beginning with the mid-1960s.[1]

Multiple Jeopardy, Multiple Consciousness: The Context Of A Black Feminist Ideology, Deborah K. King

Dartmouth Scholarship

Black women have long recognized the special circumstances of our lives in the United States: the commonalities that we share with all women, as well as the bonds that connect us to the men of our race. We have also realized that the interactive oppressions that circumscribe our lives provide a distinctive context for black womanhood. For us, the notion of double jeopardy is not a new one. Near the end of the nineteenth century, Anna Julia Cooper, who was born a slave and later became an educator and earned a Ph.D., often spoke and wrote of the double enslavement …

Effects Of Gender, Ethnicity, And School Equity On Students' Leadership Behaviors In A Group Game, Helen A. Moore

Department of Sociology: Faculty Publications

Leadership skills and the perception of leadership by students and classroom teachers are examined in 10 desegregated elementary schools. The 10 schools were first divided into "high-equity" and "low-equity" schools based on the extent to which they met "integrative" educational criteria, such as multicultural curricula, multiethnic staff, minority parent involvement, and other factors. A random sample of 202 Hispanic and Anglo students participated in a cooperative group task in gender-segregated groups composed of 3 students from each ethnic group. Results indicate that trained observers found gender differences in nonverbal and verbal leadership behaviors among students across the schools, including higher …

Leadership And Nonverbal Behaviors Of Hispanic Females Across School Equity Environments, Helen A. Moore, Natalie K. Porter

Department of Sociology: Faculty Publications

Nonverbal behaviors of Hispanic elementary school students and their peers were examined in a small-group cooperative task with a total of 202 subjects. Thirty-five randomly selected groups were videotaped in ten desegregated schools, each group was gender-homogeneous, with three Hispanic and three Anglo students. Analysis of the videotapes revealed that Hispanic females used less vertical and horizontal space than Anglo females, and were also less likely to verbally interrupt or physically intrude on other group members They had similar rates of handling the group resource cards and were given similar leadership scores by multi-ethnic trained observers. Among males, Hispanics are …
