Ethnic Studies Review
This valuable collection of readings edited by leading scholars in the field enriches the social science and educational literature for several reasons.

[Review Of] Tracy Mishkin. The Harlem And Irish Renaissances: Language, Identity, And Representation, Jennifer Schulz
[Review Of] Tracy Mishkin. The Harlem And Irish Renaissances: Language, Identity, And Representation, Jennifer Schulz
Ethnic Studies Review
The very title of Tracy Mishkin's The Harlem and Irish Renaissances: Language, Identity, and Representation would fill any scholar of either movement with skepticism. To draw parallels among turn of the century Anglo-Irish writers' efforts to represent and revitalize the identity and language of Irish culture (which must take into account the often divergent political and social interests of myriad groups: Gaelic nationalists and Catholic-Irish peasantry, just to name two) with early twentieth-century African American and black immigrant intellectuals' self-conscious construction of a race capital and cultural movement in the midst of Jim Crow legislation and renewed vehemence of nativist …
[Review Of] Devon A. Mihesuah, Ed. Natives And Academics: Researching And Writing About American Indians, Susan L. Rockwell
[Review Of] Devon A. Mihesuah, Ed. Natives And Academics: Researching And Writing About American Indians, Susan L. Rockwell
Ethnic Studies Review
As a white scholar of American Indian autobiographies, I approached this collection of essays edited by Devon A. Mihesuah, Associate Professor of History at Northern Arizona University, with both anticipation and trepidation. Conversations about the place of white scholars in all areas of ethnic studies has crested again recently and is appearing in many academic journals. In the May 1998, PMLA (113.3), the Guest Column by Nellie Y. McKay, Professor of American and African American Literature at University of Wisconsin, Madison, states that too many qualified white scholars are not being asked to fill positions, which results in African American …
[Review Of] Stanley Nelson (Producer And Director). The Black Press: Soldiers Without Swords, George Junne
[Review Of] Stanley Nelson (Producer And Director). The Black Press: Soldiers Without Swords, George Junne
Ethnic Studies Review
One of the most important institutions established in African American communities has been the "Black Press." It is also an institution that has not received much of the attention it deserves. The Black Press today still consists of approximately 100 newspapers carrying on the tradition of the first Black newspaper, Freedom's Journal (1827). After recently compiling a bibliography on Blacks in the U.S. West, it became obvious that whenever and wherever a Black community became established, Black newspapers immediately emerged. For example, Colorado had over one hundred, California more than twice that number, and Iowa over forty. States such as …
[Review Of] Lavina Dhingra Shankar And Rajini Srikanth. A Part Yet Apart: South Asians In Asian America, Kasturi Dasgupta
[Review Of] Lavina Dhingra Shankar And Rajini Srikanth. A Part Yet Apart: South Asians In Asian America, Kasturi Dasgupta
Ethnic Studies Review
In their introduction to this stimulating collection of Asian American voices, editors Lavina Dhingra Shankar and Rajini Srikanth describe "A Part Yet Apart: South Asians in Asian America," as an "exploration" of the ways in which South Asian Americans from India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives, do or do not "fit" into the popular, academic, and activist consciousness associated with the Asian American Identity which has traditionally embraced immigrants from countries hugging the Pacific rim - China, Taiwan, the Koreas, Japan, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Philippines. The essays in the book debate what constitutes the gap, …
[Review Of] Henry (Yoshitaka) Kiyama. The Four Immigrants Manga: A Japanese Experience In San Francisco, 1904-1924, Translated By Frederik L. Schadt, Nobuko Adachi
Ethnic Studies Review
This historically important document is a translation of a humorous comic book published in 1931 based on the experiences of the author, Henry (Yoshitaka) Kiyama, as he immigrated to the United States. Kiyama crossed the ocean from Japan to study art in San Francisco in 1904, at the age of nineteen. Upon his arrival he worked as a house servant during the day and went to school at night. It is not well known here, but until the Second World War a large number of Japanese immigrants came to mainland America with student visas rather than work permits; many of …
