Symbolic Interaction And Black Mental Health: Understanding Black Self-Conceptions, Shirley Vining Brown Jan 1981

Symbolic Interaction And Black Mental Health: Understanding Black Self-Conceptions, Shirley Vining Brown

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

The widespread preoccupation with racial identity in the last two decades has been seen not only as a symptom of alienation but also as a move by racial minorities to recapture what has been called a “surrendered identity.” This corrective action has its place in the historical evolution of American race relations but, at the same time, it has a price.

Critique [Of Ethical Problems In Evaluation Research], Gary Y. Okihiro Jan 1981

Critique [Of Ethical Problems In Evaluation Research], Gary Y. Okihiro

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

“Ethical Problems in Evaluation Research” by Elisabeth J. Johnson summarizes some of the salient ethical concerns in social science research such as the relative positions of power between researcher and subject, confidentiality and privacy, and “political interests” or the use of research findings by sponsors. The author concludes with proposals and cautions; of special relevance to readers of this journal is Kelman’s “participatory research” which enables people being studied to participate in the research design and implementation.

Critique [Of An Invisible Minority: An Examination Of Migrant Education], Dennis Stewart Jan 1981

Critique [Of An Invisible Minority: An Examination Of Migrant Education], Dennis Stewart

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

"An lnvisible Minority” is a well-written. sensitive, and on the whole, accurate article which could have been written a decade ago. | am reminded by it of an astronomer who periodically releases to the press a statement outlining the difference between astronomy and astrology as a professional obligation. So too, people need to be reminded of the terrible toll extracted from migrant worker families.

Critique [Of Wiesel's Memoir And God Outside Auschwitz], David M. Gradwohl Jan 1981

Critique [Of Wiesel's Memoir And God Outside Auschwitz], David M. Gradwohl

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

It is not exactly a guarded secret that Jews, for three or four thousand years, have questioned who they were, who they are, and who they are going to be as individuals and as members of the various groups within which they associate. And through those many centuries they have often cried out in anguish and ambivalence to their God. Elie Wiesel, who writes with great power and also great agony, is certainly not the first writer to express these themes. Nor is the German Holocaust with all of its unspeakable and unfathomable horrors the first event to evoke these …

Comments From The Guest Editor, Gretchen Bataille

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

I want to take this opportunity to share some thoughts with the readers of Explorations about the association and the journal. The new editorial staff is in the process of making several significant changes in format as well as content of the publications. The first new beginning is a new logo, a logo which has as its central symbol the character meaning "the source."

[Review Of] Rebels And Victims By Evelyn Gross Avery, Paula M. Henry Jan 1981

[Review Of] Rebels And Victims By Evelyn Gross Avery, Paula M. Henry

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Rebels and Victims is a useful contribution to the comparative analysis of ethnic literature. This balanced, thorough presentation on the fiction of Wright and Malamud examines their ethnic literary works. Avery touches on many interdisciplinary factors which make the book of some interest to those discussing Afro-American and Jewish-American ethnic groups functioning in society.

Wiesel's Memoir And God Outside Auschwitz, Mildred L. Culp Jan 1981

Wiesel's Memoir And God Outside Auschwitz, Mildred L. Culp

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Night records Elie Wiesel’s internment at Auschwitz, and it raises questions about God’s and humanity’s respective roles in the death camps. Today’s literary critics and theologians, however, highlight Wiesel's gift for story-telling of his theology and miss the quality of the writer’s individual works. Tending to group all of the author's Holocaust stories to illuminate a particular theme, they have failed to recognize that Wiesel’s theology in Night is manifest only when they perceive "that there is meaning in [it, which] comes only when the elements that go up to make that thing" appear in their relatedness. They do not …

The Roles Of Ethnic Theater In Immigrant Communities In The United States 1850-1930, Maxine S. Seller Jan 1981

The Roles Of Ethnic Theater In Immigrant Communities In The United States 1850-1930, Maxine S. Seller

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries millions of Europeans left their homes to form immigrant communities in the United States. Much of the literature about those immigrant communities focuses upon problems such as their ecomonic [economic] hardships, prejudices against them, and their difficulties adjusting to an unfamiliar environment. It is equally important, however, to study the strengths of these communities, their rich internal life, and the institutions that expressed and sustained that life. One of the most significant and least studied of these institutions was the foreign language, or ethnic, theater.

Critique [Of God's Silence And The Shrill Of Ethnicity In The Chicano Novel], Neil Nakadate Jan 1981

Critique [Of God's Silence And The Shrill Of Ethnicity In The Chicano Novel], Neil Nakadate

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Among the most important observations made in the course of Joe Rodriquez‘ essay on the Chicano novel are that 1) an ethnic legacy must be recognized described, and acknowledged in its complexity and contradictions before it can become a viable part of an individual's identity; 2) ethnic legacies and affiliations, as with all relationships into which individuals are born, can be burdensome liabilities as well as touchstones of sustenance and liberation; 3) an ethnic's unquestioning affiliation with the "group" often leads to a diminishment of personal worth. With his focus on dialectical forces within Chicano life and on ethnicity as …

Addressing Gaps In The Delivery Of Community Services: The Case Of One Inner-City Community, Cecilia E. Dawkins Jan 1981

Addressing Gaps In The Delivery Of Community Services: The Case Of One Inner-City Community, Cecilia E. Dawkins

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

The need for more effective approaches to the delivery of health and social services in inner-city communities is well established. Attempts to improve service delivery in such areas as housing, health care and job training usually concentrate on strengthening' community education efforts and other strategies designed to motivate potential users of community services. Little emphasis has been placed on increasing the communication between different community service providers to achieve better coordination among organizations responsible for service delivery in inner-city communities. As a consequence, major service gaps exist including such problems as duplication of services, limited accessiblity [accessibility], and the absence …

Critique [Of A Proposed Model For Advocacy Services For Mexican Undocumented Aliens With Mental Health Needs], Cliff I. Hooper Sr.

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

With the data we have the evidence of need, with the proposed method, we have been offered a logical approach to difficult conditions, but what we need now is a method for overcoming the extraordinary conditions. Salcido's contribution is both an offering and a projection of one of a number of serious Social problems in the United States. As an offering, this paper provides data sustaining the structure and validity of a model; as a projection, Salcido focuses the phenomena of United States/Mexican border relations as that situation concerns United States nationalism and Mexican aliens who are illegal residents, especially …

Critique [Of The Image Of Gays In Chicano Prose Fiction], Laverne Gonzalez

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

The author speaks truly in stating that gays in literature have remained, for the most part, in the closet. Generally authors have been concerned with presenting a given philosophy, advocating social change, creating aesthetically satisfying literature, not primarily with sexuality, per se.

Critique [Of God's Silence And The Shrill Of Ethnicity In The Chicano Novel], Gladys David Howell

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

The concepts of society and culture, so vital in the pursuit of understanding human behavior. its patterns and effects, are ultimately expressed in the lives of individuals. Cultural values are carried, symbolized, and integrated in the minds of human beings Innovative individuals challenge and change culture. The crucial intersection of society, culture, and individual has not always been granted sufficiently high priority in social science research to exploit this rich vein. As sociology and anthropology have moved toward quantitative methods, material is often fractured so that society seems peopled by disembodied fragmented men and women. This is regrettable since the …

We are hopeful that the membership will share with others the celebration of ethnicity provided in this issue of the Journal, for ethnicity is more than an academic concern.

[Review Of] Paul Berliner With Kudu, The Sun Rises Late Here, Ricardo Valdes

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

In a search for means of communication to open new doors of understanding between our neighbors and ourselves on this planet earth, we occasionally encounter a person or a method which seems to fling those doors open. It is with great enthusiasm that I share one such experience with my colleagues in the NAIES. Last fall I attended a concert by Paul Berliner and Kudu. Paul, a musicologist at the School of Music and Program of African Studies at Northwestern University, revealed in a two-hour program of lecture and performance the heart and suffering, hopes and spirit of Zimbabwe in …

Resegregation Processes In Desegregated Schools And Status Relationships For Hispanic Students, Helen A. Moore, Peter Iadicola Jan 1981

Resegregation Processes In Desegregated Schools And Status Relationships For Hispanic Students, Helen A. Moore, Peter Iadicola

Department of Sociology: Faculty Publications

The resegregation of students in desegregated elementary schools generates potential barriers to social integration and academic achievement.  WE are interested in the role of greater status inequality in reducing academic achievement for minority students.  We generate multiple measures of internal schooling processes such as ability grouping, high stakes testing, and unequal burdens of busing across racial ethnic groups at ten desegregated elementary schools in California selected as case studies from a larger sample of 182 schools.  Hispanic student enrollments ranged from 10 percent to 53 percent of each campus and we assess variations in resegregation practices and student and campus …

The Economic Status Of Malay Muslims In Singapore, Eng Fong Pang

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business
