[Review Of] Jane B. Katz (Ed.), I Am The Fire Of Time: The Voices Of Native American Women, Gretchen Bataille

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Speaking at the Annual Conference on Ethnic and Minority Studies in April, Bea Medicine admonished the audience that rather than lament the work which has not yet been done by or about Native American women, we must recognize the significance and breadth of what has already been written. I Am the Fire of Time shows just that. The selections come from nineteenth century transcripts as well as from contemporary women poets and activists. Over and over the reader is reminded that the Native American woman was not and is not the drudge or burden bearer portrayed in American fiction and …

Close Encounters Of Three Kinds: The Writing Of Indian History, A Review Essay, Martin Zanger

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Can non-Indians write ”Indian history”? Professor Roy W. Meyer, Director of American Studies at Mankato State University, confronts himself with that vexing question in the prefatory remarks to his survey of the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara peoples from pre-European contact times through the 1970‘s. Although Meyer‘s book is a case study of specific Indian societies, a number of themes he emphasizes will be useful for teachers and students who are not specialists in Indian studies.

Educational Reform In Los Angeles And Its Effect Upon The Mexican Community, 1900-1930, Gilbert G. Gonzalez

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

The theme of equal educational opportunity was a major concern of the urban Chicano Movement in the late sixties. Chicanos accused the entire school system of racism and insensitivity towards the Chicano community. Schools, declared the activists, used institutionalized techniques such as intelligence tests and a tracking system to insure that disproportional numbers of Chicano children would be placed in vocational education courses or in classes for the mentally retarded.

Review Of Videotape Presented At The 6th Annual Conference On Ethnic And Minority Studies: Alan Hertzberg, The Autobiography Of Miss Jane Dubois, James D. Henderson

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

To say that The Autobiography of Miss Jane Dubois is an exciting new departure in the venerable art of autobiography does not do full justice to the work under review here. Nor is it sufficient to say that in giving us this study of human life, producer Alan Hertzberg proves that works of integrity and high purpose can be crafted by the video artist, holding out the promise that if it would, American television could lift itself from the slough of mediocrity in which it has ever wallowed. What makes this twelve- chapter study an unforgettable experience is Jane Dubois …

Social Control In Applied Social Science: A Study Of Evaluative Researchers' Conformity To Technical Norms, Ilene Nagel Bernstein

Articles by Maurer Faculty

This paper is a preliminary exploration of the relationship between social factors, and conformity to a set of prescribed methodological norms in applied social science. Focusing our attention on evaluative research, we seek to estimate how variation in type and nature of research sponsorship, research context, and researcher relationship with sponsor and host affect reported conformity to methodological prescriptions. Analyzing the self-reported responses of 152 evaluative researchers to a mail questionnaire, we find: (a) that conformity to methodological prescriptions is very variable among evaluative researchers: (b) that the social factors here examined seem to affect systematically the degree of conformity; …

New Towns As Laboratories Of Democracy: Early American And British Experience, Robert A. Barrett

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

New Towns have received attention as significant fields for study of urban systems and urban problems. Their early development in Great Britain and more recent development in the United States is a subject of public and private interest, yet little attention has been directed to their potential for improving the urban democratic process as well as dealing with housing, transportation, employment, planning, recreation, and other urban systems. This paper examines the potential of New Towns with reference to British experiences in improving urban democratic systems.
