[Review Of] Robert A. Huttenback, Racism And Empire: White Settlers And Coloured Immigrants In The British Self-Governing Colonies 1820-1910, Georgina Ashworth

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

The events in Queensland, and particularly Western Australia, just before the December 1977 General Election would be recognizable to anyone who had read Richard A. Huttenback's Racism and Empire. The dishonorable attempt to disenfranchise the illiterate Aborigines--which was foiled only by a Cabinet Minister crossing the floor and the casting vote of the speaker--was a direct inheritance of the "Natal formula," which is the main exercise of Huttenback's book. The formula was, in its purest form, simply a means, by language and literacy testing, of "keeping unwanted immigrants out of a colony through the use of a mechanism which seemed …

Abstracts Of Papers Presented At The 6th Annual Conference On Ethnic And Minority Studies

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Before developing programs to help minority women, program developers should assess themselves. White men usually create problems that cause minority women to need programs developed. White men who have had minimal social contact with minority women are not qualified to solve minority women's problems. White men ask white women and minority men to give assistance in solving minority women's problems. White women, who have been considered superior to minority women because of social, educational, or economical circumstances, are not qualified to solve minority women's problems. Minority men who have chauvinist values and do not have minority women's concerns at heart …

The "Barbarous Massacre" Reconsidered: The Powhatan Uprising Of 1622 And The Historians, J. Frederick Fausz

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

The Powhatan Uprising of March 22, 1621/22, was the single most significant event of Anglo-Indian relations in Virginia. An early example of a native culture’s rebellion against intruding European civilization, the uprising climaxed a mere decade and a half of intercultural contact. Its impact upon trans-Atlantic ideology and policy was impressive: it brought to an end the first (forty year) phase of British imperialis [imperialist] accelerated Virginia's unique course of development, and hastened the doom of an American Indian empire with vast potential.

The Asian Woman In America, Gloria L. Kumagai

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Both females and males, regardless of their racial ethnic group, are seriously limited in their information about Asian women. Far too often the system educates individuals about race and sex as two distinct and separate categories. Consequently, Asian women, as well as other women of color, are viewed either as members of their ethnic group or their sexual group, and rarely as members of both groups simultaneously. This paper presents an overview of the historical context and the present-day status of Asian women in America as well as implications for education and change.

[Review Of] Ernesto Galarza, Farm Workers And Agri-Business In California, 1947-1960, Rosa Fernandez

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

The reader who is already familiar with Galarza's work will not find it surprising that once again he has done a painstaking job of writing this account of the history of agricultural workers in California during the years l947 to 1960. Contrary to Galarza's own fears that the academically minded might find his book ”insufficient“ and the list of suggested readings ”too thin,” Farm Workers and Agri-business in California, 1947-1960 provides the reader with a wealth of information based on careful research and on Galarza's own recollections of his experiences as a farm worker and union organizer during that period.

Editor's Corner, George E. Carter

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Since the inception of NAIES, the matter of the organization serving as a communications network has been one of some concern. The need for this kind of activity within the Association is self-evident. When a program, person, or institution encounters difficulty, the existence of a vehicle which can bring to bear external pressure can often be extremely useful. Some might raise the question of being seen as an “outside agitator,” but given the scope of the membership of NAIES, this kind of pressure can often be brought from closeby. The matter of a network for communication also opens the door …

A Study Of Female Participation In The Labor Force In South Dakota From 1950-1970, Mary K. Wagner

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A study of women's labor force participation in South Dakota from 1950 to 1970 was conducted to determine: (1) the changes that occurred in labor force participation by women in South Dakota fror.1 1950 to 1970; (2) the extent to which variations in demographic, socioeconomic and structural variables helped explain observed variations in labor force participation by women; and (3) the extent to which Transition Theory was applicable in explaining changes in labor force participation among women in South Dakota. The county was designated the unit of analysis, and selected demographic, socioeconomic and structural data from the United States Bureau …

Equal Employment Opportunity And Affirmative Action In Humboldt County Federal Contracting Private Sector Industries, Peter J. C. Veenhuyzen

Cal Poly Humboldt theses and projects

In the field of Sociology, studies are continually initiated to ascertain basic social processes integral to an area under research. As these processes are isolated and identified, their function can be understood and related to a larger social spectrum. In the field of personnel management, the predominant quest has been to screen applicants for their desirability as future employees. Some of the criteria used are: 1) amount of experience in the area of the job opening; 2) quantity of formal education in the given area; 3) past job performance recommendations; 4) amount of previous job absenteeism; 5) ability to handle …

Handbook For The Champaign County Youth Detention Center, James A. Talley Jr.

Masters Theses

This handbook was developed to serve the needs of the Champaign County Youth Detention Center and interested community members. It is also designed to serve as a guideline for future handbooks at the center and for other agencies which may require such a handbook. This handbook should eliminate any confusion concerning regulations and policy of the center and prove to be satisfactory replacement for single sheet information which was formerly used.

There was an apparent need for this handbook to replace the intake folder and thereby provide a more useful and meaningful method of transmitting vitally important information to concerned …

Androgyny And Psychological Adjustment Of Heterosexual And Homosexual Women, Deborah R. Donison

Masters Theses

Early research on the study of lesbianism was largely psychoanalytically oriented and contended that homosexuality was a form of psychopathology. Many have found that female homosexuals have a deep sense of inferiority and suffer from neuroticism. Recent investigation however, indicates that this is not necessarily the case. It has now been found that lesbians are no more neurotic than female heterosexuals. Furthermore, several other investigators have found lesbians to be better adjusted, in some respects, than heterosexual women.

Such differences are accountable for a number of reasons including the use of nonpatient subjects, reduction in sampling errors and the use …

The Relationship Between Empathy And Socially Deviant Behaviors In Delinquent Adolescents, Terrie L. Fisk

Masters Theses

Past research has demonstrated that empathy, traditionally defined as the ability to discriminate, label and then experience the emotional response of another, acts as an inhibitor of aggressive behavior. Additional evidence has shown an increase in empathic functioning can be the result of various empathy training strategies. It has recently been hypothesized that aggressive behavior might be decreased as empathic functioning increases. The present study sought to determine if an inverse relationship existed between empathy and socially deviant behavior, which is a less extreme degree of aggression characterized by disruptiveness and attention seeking. In addition, it was hypothesized that if …

A Pilot Study Of A Sex Education Program In A Sheltered Workshop Using A Cognitive-Behavioral Model Based On Rational Emotive Therapy, Jacqueline A. Rieck, Thomas E. Frederick

Masters Theses

This pilot study was developed to teach people with mental retardation about their own sexuality, appropriate community behaviors, and to develop within them a basic sense of responsibility for their own actions. Problems in social/sexual behaviors have been consistently quoted as reasons for high recidivism rates, as well as difficulties in community living, vocational placement, and other generalized stereotypes about mental retardation. Often the public remains uninformed about, does not recognize, and/or feels that sexual rights for people with any mental differences should not exist. Additionally, when any form of sexuality was expressed by such people it resulted in shock …

The National Association of Interdisciplinary Ethnic Studies (NAIES)was organized at the University of Wisconsin - La Crosse during the third annual meeting of the Minority Studies Conference in the spring of 1975. The founding of the "association," with its unwieldy title that was changed a year later, resulted from a meeting of about a dozen persons

A Developmental Design For Understanding Ethnicity, Charles C. Irby

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Carl O. Sauer, the late dean of North American anthropogeography, noted that: We are touching upon a very serious topic that Americans, with their emphasis on acculturation, Americanization, and so forth, have never explored properly. Our own cultural minorities, living and surviving, persisting in some of their own attitudes of values and consciences, have a seminal as well as a historical significance as long as they resist absorption into the general pattern, but we pay little attention to them.1

Education And The Images Of The American Indian, Gretchen Bataille

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Looking at any schedule of college courses, one is likely to find several classes which come under the rubric of ethnic studies. The courses are popular with teachers and students alike because they represent a change of pace from traditional study. Hopefully, such courses suggest a move toward an appreciation and recognition of the cultural diversity in America and mean that, as a nation, we are ready to follow the suggestion of Louis Ballard, American Indian composer and author, who stated that "cultural differences should be honored, not merely 'accepted,' which is nothing more than a synonym for 'tolerated.'" In …

A Perceived Ethnic Factor In California's Farm Labor Conflict: The Nisei Farmers League, Stephen S. Fugita

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

The farm labor conflict has been volatile for over three quarters of a century in California's rich agriculture valleys. The most recent years of this struggle have been associated with Cesar Chavez and the United Farm Worker’s Union (UFW). A new element, the Nisei Farmers League (NFL), also emerged during the same time period. The NFL was formed in 1971 after some Japanese American farmers were picketed and their property damaged by persons sympathetic to the UFW. These growers charged that they had been "singled out" by the UFW in their area. Their ranches are located in central San Joaquin …

[Review Of] Joel Schor, Henry Highland Garnet: A Voice In Black Radicalism In The Nineteenth Century, Michael J. Stanke

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Ninety-five years ago in Liberia, Africa, Henry Highland Garnet died. Besides being an ardent abolitionist, Garnet was also a Presbyterian minister, newspaper editor, orator, author, and political organizer. Historian George Washington Williams personally observed that Garnet's oratory was "equal in ability to Frederick Douglass, especially in logic and terse statement." Carter G. Woodson stated that "Garnet created the ideas which Frederick Douglass tempered and presented to the world in a more palliative and acceptable form." Despite Garnet's accomplishments, almost a century has passed in which Garnet's biography remained unwritten. Happily, Joel Schor has filled that void with his book, Henry …
