An Analysis Of The General Well-Being Of Blacks And Whites: Results Of A National Study, Sonjia Parker Redmond Mar 1988

An Analysis Of The General Well-Being Of Blacks And Whites: Results Of A National Study, Sonjia Parker Redmond

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

The importance of race as a factor in mental health status has been a topic of controversy. This study examines racial variances in the relationship between selected socio-demographic variables and general well-being. The study also examines the appropriateness of an additive versus an interactive statistical model for this investigation.

Unlike other recent community based mental health studies, this study revealed significant differences between the general well-being of Blacks and Whites. Blacks continued to exhibit significantly lower levels of well-being even after adjustments were made for income, education, marital status, sex, age and place of residence. Statistical interaction was found between …

U.S. Women And Hiv Infection, P. Clay Stephens Jan 1988

U.S. Women And Hiv Infection, P. Clay Stephens

New England Journal of Public Policy

Women are inadequately provided with HIV services and education and are differentially denied access to these. Divisions of race, ethnicity, economic class, and religion, among others, are compounded by sexual discrimination within each of these categories.

Review of current data on women with AIDS reveals that the reporting methods used convey a false impression that women are not at significant risk. Moreover, the persons indirectly affected by AIDS are predominantly women — mothers, sisters, partners, family members, teachers, and human service workers. Thus, AIDS is more of a women's issue than the statistics imply.

Women, as a gender-defined class, face …


[Review Of] William L. Andrews. To Tell A Free Story: The First Century Of Afro-American Autobiography, 1760-1865, Suzanne Stutman Jan 1988

[Review Of] William L. Andrews. To Tell A Free Story: The First Century Of Afro-American Autobiography, 1760-1865, Suzanne Stutman

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

William L. Andrews' To Tell a Free Story is a fine study of the history and development of the Afro-American narrative in its first century. Andrews presents the narrative in the hands of its creators as a dynamic form which, when studied for its process of telling, expresses the movement of its writers from an absence of self to a celebration of both self and community. It follows in the footsteps of Andrew's' other important contributions to the field of black studies, and promises to serve as a resource to which other studies of the genre can look.


[Review Of] Lucia Chiavola Birnbaum. Liberazione Della Donna. Feminism In Italy, Phylis Cancilla Martinelli Jan 1988

[Review Of] Lucia Chiavola Birnbaum. Liberazione Della Donna. Feminism In Italy, Phylis Cancilla Martinelli

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

A book on feminism in Italy might draw a bewildered look from the average American. The image of Italian women, cultivated by the popular media, is of either a sultry sex pot or a black garbed mamma stirring a spaghetti pot. In both examples these women are seen as subservient to the Italian male. It is unfortunate that these images are so pervasive, and that accurate information on Italian women in our society is limited, since their experiences can be instructive.


[Review Of] John Bodnar. The Transplanted: A History Of Immigrants In Urban America, Gloria Eive Jan 1988

[Review Of] John Bodnar. The Transplanted: A History Of Immigrants In Urban America, Gloria Eive

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

The Transplanted is represented as a synthesis of the immigrant experience in urban America. Bodnar posits the confrontation with capitalism as sole explanation for migration, emigration and immigrant behavior in the new country. His stated intent is to "rescue" immigration history from older views of immigrants as hapless victims of circumstance.


[Review Of] Silvester Brito. Red Cedar Warrior, Simon J. Ortiz Jan 1988

[Review Of] Silvester Brito. Red Cedar Warrior, Simon J. Ortiz

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Red Cedar Warrior, the collection of poems by S.J. Brito, is very obvious in its depiction of trepidations against Native Americans, in its mourning for the loss of culture and traditions, and its expression of anger. We easily see the obvious signs of Native Americanism in most of the poems included in his book. The warrior could not be anything other than Native American, astride a pony, feathered and painted. There are the drums, the ceremonial life, the peyote prayers, the shamans, and such references. We easily see the images and hear the voices that most let us know of …


[Review Of] Vinson Brown. Native Americans Of The Pacific Coast, William Oandasan Jan 1988

[Review Of] Vinson Brown. Native Americans Of The Pacific Coast, William Oandasan

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

In the introduction to Native Americans of the Pacific Coast, Vinson Brown presents many admirable ambitions for any scholar writing on human existence. Brown proclaims that he will attempt to make the first Americans "live" in the style of the 1500s to 1700s during the "days of old" and of "glory and independence." He then proceeds to assert that, in order to accomplish this goal, antiquated concepts used to "justify" the conquest of tribal Peoples must be "put aside." He urges us, "instead," to be inquisitive and open so that we can "see and hear" what indigenous life was like …

[Review Of] John J. Bukowczyk. And My Children Do Not Know Me: A History Of The Polish Americans, Joseph T. Makarewicz

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Bukowczyk provides us with an easily readable and brief general history of Polish Americans. Unfortunately, there is nothing new in it. The works of Helena Z. Lopata, Victor Greene, Ewa Morawaka, and John Bodnar give a more intimate understanding of Polonia.
