A Commentary On The Social Class And Mental Illness Correlation: Implications Of The Research For Policy And Practice, Julius A. Roth
A Commentary On The Social Class And Mental Illness Correlation: Implications Of The Research For Policy And Practice, Julius A. Roth
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
This paper represents an extraordinary review of literature on the association between SES and mental illness. I think most social scientists would find it impressive. It also conveys some cogent reasoning about the relevance of these findings for social policy. I think most social workers would find it impressive.

Intervention In Cases Of Woman Battering: An Application Of Symbolic Interactionism And Critical Theory, Cheryl Anderson, Linda Rouse
Intervention In Cases Of Woman Battering: An Application Of Symbolic Interactionism And Critical Theory, Cheryl Anderson, Linda Rouse
Clinical Sociology Review
The purposes of this paper are to acquaint readers with a number of existing approaches to the problem of woman battering and to examine clinical interventions against the background of several relevant sociological theories. Specifically, techniques for counseling female victims and male batterers are discussed from the perspectives of symbolic interactionism and critical theory. Symbolic interactionism provides an understanding of the self concepts and definitions of the situation which perpetuate abusive relationships, and suggests how they might be changed. Critical theory calls attention to the unequal power relations underlying systematically distorted communication, which can be addressed by interventions "enlightening" and …

[Review Of] William L. Andrews. To Tell A Free Story: The First Century Of Afro-American Autobiography, 1760-1865, Suzanne Stutman
[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
[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
[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
[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
[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.
[Review Of] Carlos Bulosan. America Is In The Heart: A Personal History, S. E. Solberg
[Review Of] Carlos Bulosan. America Is In The Heart: A Personal History, S. E. Solberg
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
First published in 1946, America Is in the Heart has reached a seventh printing (1986). Carlos Bulosan's "personal history" has evidenced remarkable staying power, and that mainly in the Asian American ethnic communities and the academic programs which describe and support them. This is all the more remarkable in a book that has been damned by Philippine critics for giving a distorted view of the Philippines, and by American critics for distorting the history of the Filipino in America. Despite all this, the popularity, and the sense of "rightness" that surrounds the book can be explained rather easily once certain …
[Review Of] Jane Campbell. Mythic Black Fiction: The Transformation Of History, Abby H. P. Werlock
[Review Of] Jane Campbell. Mythic Black Fiction: The Transformation Of History, Abby H. P. Werlock
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Jane Campbell's timely study -- a revision of her 1977 Ph.D. dissertation -- appears as an early and sustained response to Afro-American mythmaking, one of the central concerns of current black scholarship. Campbell posits that, to counter the dehumanized experience of blacks in America, Afro-American writers from 1853 to the present have utilized the romance genre to infuse history "with a mythic dimension," thereby transforming their characters from victims into actors who can change history. Beginning with William Wells Brown's Clotel (1853) and ending with David Bradley's The Chaneysville Incident 1981), Campbell's exploration of the transcendent nature of black writing …
[Review Of] Sarah Blacher Cohen, Ed. From Hester Street To Hollywood: The Jewish-American Stage And Screen, Louise Mayo
[Review Of] Sarah Blacher Cohen, Ed. From Hester Street To Hollywood: The Jewish-American Stage And Screen, Louise Mayo
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
The considerable Jewish American presence on the stage and screen (and now television), has long been marveled at and discussed. Jewish "dominance" in mass media has been a source of pride to Jews and anguish to anti-semites. Nevertheless, it has only been since the 1960s that numbers have been translated into content. From Hester Street to Hollywood attempts to analyze the Jewish presence and experience in areas as varied as serious drama and stand-up comedy.

[Review Of] Nicholas Colangelo, Dick Dustin, And Cecelia H. Foxley, Eds. Multicultural Nonsexist Education: A Human Relations Approach, Margaret A. Laughlin
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Despite earlier efforts to reduce prejudice and eliminate discrimination, the decade of the 1980s continues to be marked by ongoing assaults on human dignity. Enforcement of earlier hard-earned civil rights laws are declining, oppression of various groups and individuals in our society continues, and attitudes of prejudice and examples of discrimination are reported in the media on a regular basis. Adults are often unable or unwilling to confront their own values, beliefs, and behaviors concerning human oppression. As a result, young people are often presented with inaccurate, incomplete, or inadequate information concerning forces which help to shape our institutions and …
[Review Of] Carmen Gertrudis Espinosa. The Freeing Of The Deer-And Other New Mexico Indian Myths, Silvester J. Brito
[Review Of] Carmen Gertrudis Espinosa. The Freeing Of The Deer-And Other New Mexico Indian Myths, Silvester J. Brito
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
The Freeing of the Deer is an unusual collection of southwest American Indian-Spanish lore. What makes the book so distinct is that it offers the reader the unique opportunity to appreciate Native American tales which have been preserved in Spanish and translated into English. Moreover, there is a special feature to this collection, for the English-Spanish versions are set up en-face. This collection of Native American world views as seen through their Spanish renditions also makes this an important book to have in one's library. There is, however, a drawback to this collection, namely the lack of eloquence in translation …
[Review Of] Rodney Frey. The World Of The Crow Indians: As Driftwood Lodges, Robert Gish
[Review Of] Rodney Frey. The World Of The Crow Indians: As Driftwood Lodges, Robert Gish
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Ethnographic studies have long been plagued by questions of credibility. Can the ethnographer believe his or her sources? And, in turn, can readers believe the ethnographer? Ronald Frey knows full well that such issues of "believability" plague anyone attempting to understand a culture's otherness from the outside. He is determined to explain general historical, religious, and cultural aspects of "the world of the Crow Indians" from as close to the inside as he possibly can tell them.
[Review Of] Minrose C. Gwin. Black And White Women Of The Old South: The Peculiar Sisterhood In American Literature, Louise Mayo
[Review Of] Minrose C. Gwin. Black And White Women Of The Old South: The Peculiar Sisterhood In American Literature, Louise Mayo
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
In this book, Minrose Gwin explores the interrelationships between women as a model of Southern racial experiences. In order to understand "this volatile, often violent connection between black and white women of the Old South," she examines a wide variety of books including proslavery and abolitionist fiction of the mid-nineteenth century, slave narratives, diaries, and modern fictional versions of the Southern slave experience by Faulkner, Cather and Margaret Walker.

[Review Of] Shivalingappa S. Halli. How Minority Status Affects Fertility: Asian Groups In Canada, Celia J. Wintz
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
The broad subject of ethnicity and its impact on the social behavior of immigrant and minority groups is topical and is of interest both to scholars and to the general public. As a result, Halli's study of fertility rates among Asian immigrants and their descendants in Canada addresses a timely subject.

[Review Of] Katherine Spencer Halpern, Mary E. Holt, And Susan Brown Mcgreevy.Guide To The Microfilm Edition Of The Washington Matthews Papers, Paul G. Zolbrod
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Today it is being argued that ethnology and literature intersect in some useful ways. Yet Washington Matthews demonstrated as much a century ago, before either of those disciplines had been developed within the American academic system. And although it has been overlooked, his achievement in having done so is considerable, as this potentially useful volume suggests.
[Review Of] Trudier Harris. Black Women In The Fiction Of James Baldwin, Kathleen Hickok
[Review Of] Trudier Harris. Black Women In The Fiction Of James Baldwin, Kathleen Hickok
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Trudier Harris walks a narrow line between a feminist critique of James Baldwin's shortcomings as a masculinist writer and a critical appreciation of the complexity and progression in Baldwin's fictional portrayals of black women. It is not an easy maneuver, but her balance is sure and steady.

[Review Of] Dirk Hoerder, Ed. The Immigrant Labor Press In North America, 1840s-70s (Three Volumes), Cary D. Wintz
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Dirk Hoerder has undertaken a truly mammoth task -- the identification, analysis, and the location of surviving collections of the immigrant labor press published in the United States and Canada from the mid-nineteenth century to the present. For the most part his efforts have been successful. Without question he has provided researchers interested in the American immigrant experience or American labor history with a valuable research tool.
[Review Of] Langston Hughes. I Wonder As I Wander: An Autobiographical Journey, Cary D. Wintz
[Review Of] Langston Hughes. I Wonder As I Wander: An Autobiographical Journey, Cary D. Wintz
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
I Wonder As I Wander, originally published in 1956, is the second and last volume of Langston Hughes's autobiography. In the first volume, The Big Sea, Hughes focused on his early life and his involvement in the Harlem Renaissance; to a large degree it constitutes his memoirs of the Harlem Renaissance. I Wonder As I Wander is more personal. It is an account of his experiences and his musings during the 1930s, after he had distanced himself from the Harlem Renaissance, while he was in the most political phase of his long career, and while his travels took him across …
