[Review Of] Raymond L. Hall. Black Separatism In The United States, Lillie Alexis

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

A startling look at black separatist movements of the past reveals interesting facts that parallel the rise and fall of the contemporary organizations with separatist ideologies. The author focuses on the period from 1960 to 1972, analyzing five black social movement organizations: The Nation of Islam/Black Muslims, The Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), the Student Non-Violent (later National) Coordinating Committee (SNCC), the Black Panther Party, and the Republic of New Africa (RNA).

Joint Faculty Appointments: An Administrative Dilemma In Chicano Studies, Eugene E. Garcia

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

A comprehensive proposal for an academic program in Chicano Studies for the University of California, Santa Barbara, was submitted to the Executive Committee of the College of Letters and Science on April A, 1969. The program evolved from an extensive investigation of the assessed needs of the local Chicano community, the role of the University toward that community, and the general responsibility of the University to the student community with respect to educational and research endeavors related to the Chicano.

[Review Of] Joseph Hraba. American Ethnicity, Barbara Hiura Jan 1979

[Review Of] Joseph Hraba. American Ethnicity, Barbara Hiura

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Hraba uses the social science disciplines--i.e., sociology, history, and psychology--to set the scope of his research on American ethnicity. Hraba combines the theoretical premises of assimilation, pluralism, and ethnic conflict theory as methods for Viewing ethnic group convergence to and divergence from American society. "Each theory is only a partial explanation of societal modernization and ethnic evolution . . . and together they offer a fuller understanding of ethnic evolution in the modernization process" (p. 7). Societal modernization and ethnic evolution are keys for understanding the convergence (inclusion) and divergence (exclusion) process.

[Review Of] John Anthony Scott. Hard Trials On My Way: Slavery And The Struggle Against It, 1800-1860, John C. Walter Jan 1979

[Review Of] John Anthony Scott. Hard Trials On My Way: Slavery And The Struggle Against It, 1800-1860, John C. Walter

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

In the beginning the history of slavery was written in political and institutional terms, and very little attention was paid to what the day-to-day participants in this odious adventure had to say. With time, historians realized they had to take into account personal views, feelings, and reminiscences of the participants, but this realization brought about predominantly the recollections and opinions of white people. This was so because it was generally accepted that most black people were illiterate and had little to say for themselves. It was understood also that when they said anything, it would be exaggerated and self-serving and, …

Racial Minorities In U.S. History Textbooks: A Case For A More Systematic Approach To Textbook Evaluation, Jesus Garcia Jan 1979

Racial Minorities In U.S. History Textbooks: A Case For A More Systematic Approach To Textbook Evaluation, Jesus Garcia

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

A few decades ago, textbook adoption proceedings were relatively dull affairs. Present at these meetings were political, business, and labor interest group representatives who were primarily concerned with the treatment their constituencies received in textbooks, especially social studies texts. Expressing common concerns, board members and traditional interest group representatives only occasionally debated what ought to be included in social studies texts. The dealings rarely bordered on the sensational and, in most cases, resulted in minimal discussion and acceptance of texts recommended for adoption by a board's textbook committee.

[Review Of] Roberto V. Vallangca. Pinoy: The First Wave, Masayuki Sato

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

The importance of documenting “oral histories” in print has to be emphasized among all Pacific Asian American groups. Dr. Roberto Vallangca has done a superb job and should be rewarded greatly as an encouragement to others to document the personal histories of the “old timers” who immigrated to Hawaii and mainland United States before the war.

Abstracts Of Papers Presented At The 7th Annual Conference On Ethnic And Minority Studies

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

This paper reviews some of the most salient aspects of E. M. Rogg's (1974) seminal work, The Assimilation of Cuban Exiles; The Role of Community and Class--a sociological study of the Cuban community in the town of West New York in northeastern New Jersey. Although taking issue with some of the author's theses, this paper elaborates on other findings of the book in question by means of more recent participant-observation field research in the same neighborhood. For example, the new data confirms Rogg's proposition that the organized ethnic minority helps to direct the process of acculturation, though slowly.

Guest Editorial, Louis Sarabia Jan 1979

Guest Editorial, Louis Sarabia

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Ethnic studies is a rather strange field. In the first place, it is not a "field" in the traditional sense of other academic disciplines, but rather it seeks to include any and all disciplines. Second, it deals with people, and as our colleagues in the so-called "behavioral sciences" have discovered, people are perhaps the most unpredictable of all living things to study, thus the problems are many. Third, many of the subjects which we in ethnic studies have chosen to research, by the very nature of the fact that we deal with ethnic minorities, have tended to strike others not …

Pasta Or Paradigm: The Place Of Italian-American Women In Popular Film, Daniel Golden Jan 1979

Pasta Or Paradigm: The Place Of Italian-American Women In Popular Film, Daniel Golden

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

The year is 1930, the film is Little Caesar, and Hollywood begins its long and often irresponsible tradition of portraying the Italian-American male as gangster, thug, sociopath. The gangster genre has traditionally focused on male activities--men in groups, their rites of passage into underworld manhood, and their perverted American dreams of success achieved through community extortion, syndicated corruption, and blood murder. But hidden in the story of Caesar Enrico Bandello, who has justifiably been called our "archetypal" film gangster, we also discover fragmentary, but important, early portrayals of the Italian woman in America.

[Review Of] William E. Sims, Black Studies: Pitfalls And Potential, Adlean Harris Jan 1979

[Review Of] William E. Sims, Black Studies: Pitfalls And Potential, Adlean Harris

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

According to the author of this important study, the students who instigated the demand for Black Studies were a “new breed” of Black students. They were different from the White Majority in their manners, speech, style of dressing, and walking. They were also different from their Black predecessors in these same areas. In addition, they were veterans of the Civil Rights Movement; their heroes were Black activists--Ralph Brown, Malcolm X, and Eldridge Cleaver; they had no intention of “escaping the ghetto.”

[Review Of] John Higham (Ed.), Ethnic Leadership In America, Edith Blicksilver Jan 1979

[Review Of] John Higham (Ed.), Ethnic Leadership In America, Edith Blicksilver

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

The growing awareness of America's ethnic pluralism has become one of the factors shaping modern American history. Ethnic writers, as well as ethnic leaders, began the task of illuminating the meaning of their own historic and cultural traditions within the larger contexts of the nation and of the world. They have served as interpreters of their people.

Science And Technology's Impact On Critical Social Issues, John E. Haaland Jan 1979

Science And Technology's Impact On Critical Social Issues, John E. Haaland

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

Science and technology are uniquely human activities. Today they are terms well known to all of us. Science and technology affect how we think (some would say, "not enough"), how we communicate (some would say ,"constantly but not clearly or credibly") and how we reproduce, use energy and feed ourselves (some would say for each of these, -"too much"!) I want to explore briefly the way science and technology affects how we think and, more specifically, their impact on energy and food.
