Critique [Of Griggs And Corrothers: Historical Reality And Black Fiction], Dennis Stewart
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Professor Payne, in his two selections of seminal writings from the pre-World War I period, has performed a remarkable service for Explorations readers in presenting significant work tersely argued, well-written, and comprehensively considered. Griggs's and Corrothers's fiction contains all of the possibilities for political change that were considered during the 1960s and 1970s.

Explorations in Ethnic Studies
James Payne's thoughtful and carefully documented essay stresses the importance of evaluating ethnic American, specifically Afroamerican, fiction within its historical context. The historical information he provides in his essay concerning the Afroamerican response to the Spanish-American War and to America's paranoia of a supposed "Yellow Peril" does indeed shed light on how Griggs and Corrothers each imaginatively re-invested a specific social reality with an Afroamerican revolutionary furor-a rage which ironically had the best interest of the country at heart.

Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The foregoing essay by James Robert Payne describes two important pieces of Afroamerican literature and places them within their historical context. Payne offers a tantalizing account of those examples of late nineteenth and early twentieth century black nationalist writing; he fails, however, to explain their historical significance in terms of black nationalist thought around the turn of the century.

In contemporary American Indian songs and stories the Iroquois, Shawnee, and Lakota all voice a rueful hindsight over the hereditary "Great Mistake," or the friendship and kindness which their naive, trusting ancestors extended to the pilgrims on the Mayflower.

Alternative Education For The Rom, Rom Leita Kaldi
Alternative Education For The Rom, Rom Leita Kaldi
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The Rom* in the United States are nearly 100% illiterate. There are very few in any of the professions. The Rom cannot rely on gajo (non-Gypsy) doctors, lawyers, and educators who do not understand their ways or their unique problems.

Explorations in Ethnic Studies
"Alternative Education for the Rom" concerns a little written about ethnic group, the Gypsy, and concentrates on the dilemma of cultural resistance on the part of the Rom and cultural change for their survival in the U.S. Leita Kaldi discusses an educational alternative the Rom in Seattle, Washington find acceptable to bridge the gap between traditional Rom culture and the U.S. social structure.

Leita Kaldi's "Alternative Education for the Rom" briefly states the plight of Gypsies in the second paragraph: The Rom face an agonizing dilemma today. Either they will persist as urban nomads, in mobile ghettos, in enclaves of poverty and in prisons, or their cultural traditions will have to evolve to enable them to share in the benefits of this society, to develop a better material and social existence. Education is a basic bridge into contemporary U.S. society and a pioneering effort has been made in Seattle, Washington, to encourage the Rom to step onto that bridge.

Leita Kaldi has introduced the readers to little known data on one of America's most interesting and lesser-known ethnic groups. This critique focuses on further development of the material in the article and the implications of such research for the field of ethnic studies.

A Writer Speaks: An Interview With Lorenz Bell Graham, Charles C. Irby
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Missionary, teacher, professor, strikebreaker, cook, waiter, and author are embodied in the national treasure interviewed here. Lorenz Graham received an honorary Doctorate of Letters from his alma mater forty-seven years after receiving the B.A. degree.

Critique [Of Economic And Psychic Exploitation Of American Indians], Dennis Stewart
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Perhaps the most valuable contribution that Professors Bataille's and Silet’s treatise makes is to connect the images of the American Indian in movies with antecedent images. The scope of their investigation predates Columbus, includes critical American historical imagery production, takes the reader to the very beginnings of the movie industry, and brings us up-to-date on the effects of the "Great Society" outfalls for both image. and employment of American Indians in the screen entertainment establishment.
Critique [Of Retention Of Undergraduate Minority Students In Institutions Of Higher Education], Linda M.C. Abbott
Critique [Of Retention Of Undergraduate Minority Students In Institutions Of Higher Education], Linda M.C. Abbott
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Increased retention of minority undergraduates is a goal that can be supported for a variety of reasons, from the avoidance of human waste, to concern for balanced institutional budgets, to the desirability of turning out larger numbers of minority graduates who will become professional role models for the next generation. The authors have presented a state·of·the·art review of some promising retention programs, together with recommendations for strengthening such programs.

Critique [Of Retention Of Undergraduate Minority Students In Institutions Of Higher Education], Helen Maclam
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Jenkins' and Terrell's assessment of factors contributing to the attrition of undergraduate minority students is written in such general terms that it does not make a clear statement of the problem. Further, while their use of Kathleen Burlew's study may have provided some specific insights, to say out of context that "since students may lose interest in educational goals, an occupational end is needed to sustain their motivation to continue" comes perilously close to a rationale for consigning minority students to vocational programs.

Critique [Of Racial Identity Among Mixed Adolescents In Hawaii: A Research Note], Helen G. Chapin
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
This modest research note is on solid ground in recognizing that racial identity prevails in the relatively non-racist, pluralist society of Hawaii. Hawaii's peoples are noted for extending respect and tolerance to the diverse racial and ethnic groups in the State, but pluralism has by no means erased all problems.

Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Relatively few individuals have the option of choosing an ethnic identity. In most cases that identity is ascribed by parentage or by societal perception. Kinloch's research illuminates both the considerations which may be involved in making a choice of ethnic identity in those persons who have the option and the results of the choice for his sample group.

Abstracts From The Eleventh Annual Conference On Ethnic Minority Studies, 1983, Ontario, California
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
We asked discussants for the 1983 Conference to summarize their responses to the papers in their sessions, and Stewart Rodnon of Rider College provided a statement which comments specifically on the session for which he was discussant and summarizes the significance of many of the papers delivered at the 1983 Conference. His comments serve as a meaningful preface to these abstracts.

This issue, perhaps more than any other, brings together the many concerns of NAIES . The abstracts from the Eleventh Annual Conference on Ethnic and Minority Studies demonstrate the wide-ranging interests of NAIES members and the many issues unresolved in our society. Lorenz Bell Graham, a guest lecturer at the Conference, agreed to share with Explorations readers some of his experiences as a writer of adolescent fiction.

[Review Of] Angela Y. Davis, Women, Race And Class, Edith Blicksilver
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
You won't find her listed in Notable American Women beside Frances Elliott Davis who won Eleanor Roosevelt's admiration by challenging racial barriers to become the first black nurse enrolled by the American Red Cross. Nor is this Black Power activist found before theatrical educator Hollie Mae Ferguson Flanagan, encouraged by her artistic German mother and dynamic Scot pioneer father to "set a stout heart to a steep hillside." But Angela Y. Davis deserves recognition when this Harvard Press publication goes into a second printing, because seldom in the history of American justice has a criminal court heard a civil libertarian …

[Review Of] Ricardo L. Garcia, Teaching In A Pluralistic Society, And Donna M. Gollnick And Philip C. Chinn, Multicultural Education In A Pluralistic Society, Margaret A. Laughlin
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Americans live in a pluralistic society populated by persons of different ethnic backgrounds, languages, socio-economic levels, and religious beliefs. Within our society other personal characteristics are also evident, e.g., age, sex, physical and mental abilities. Too often value-laden, distorted messages and images are conveyed about those who are not viewed as being members of mainstream America. Prejudice becomes manifest and stereotypic misinformation is used to formulate major decisions affecting the lives of human beings.

[Review Of] James Lafayette Glenn, My Work Among The Florida Seminoles, Michael D. Green
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
James Lafayette Glenn's My Work among the Florida Seminoles is a memoir of his five-year tenure (1931-35) as United States agent to the Seminoles. Written in the mid-1940s as a long letter to his daughter, this document remained unpublished in the manuscript holdings of the Fort Lauderdale Historical Society until it was discovered and edited by Harry A. Kersey, the leading student of recent Seminole history.
