[Review Of] Wyatt Macgaffey. Religion And Society In Central Africa: The Bakongo Of Lower Zaire, Dennis M. Warren Jan 1987

[Review Of] Wyatt Macgaffey. Religion And Society In Central Africa: The Bakongo Of Lower Zaire, Dennis M. Warren

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

MacGaffey, professor of anthropology at Haverford College, has based this carefully crafted book on twenty years of fieldwork and archival research. This is the first systematic study of BaKongo religion. But the study is far more than an analysis of the religion, as MacGaffey demonstrates how BaKongo social structure and power relationships are embedded in its very fabric. Dividing the study into three parts, MacGaffey first focuses on a discussion of BaKongo cosmology, then describes BaKongo ritual and power, and finally deals with issues of change in the BaKongo religion and society. Taking the perspective of the BaKongo themselves, MacGaffey …

Self-Evaluation Of Black And White College Students, Keith D. Parker Jan 1986

Self-Evaluation Of Black And White College Students, Keith D. Parker

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

A major issue in the social psychology of race relations has been the axiom that blacks tend to manifest lower self-esteem than whites.[1] Much of the empirical support for this hypothesis came from studies demonstrating that blacks are stigmatized and subjected to a variety of unpleasant and derogatory experiences.[2] However, these studies are limited in two respects: first, by their use of small, nonrepresentative samples (primarily nursery school and kindergarten children) and second, by their reliance upon inferential (semi-projective) measures of self-esteem.[3]

[Review Of] Tarharka. Black Manhood: The Building Of Civilization By The Black Man Of The Nile, Delo Washington Jan 1986

[Review Of] Tarharka. Black Manhood: The Building Of Civilization By The Black Man Of The Nile, Delo Washington

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

In an ambitious effort to document the positive role that the black man has played throughout history, Tarharka has proposed a nontraditional interpretation of that role on the basis of extensive library research. As a result, he calls the credibility of most western scholars into question. Support of his thesis is offered by first reminding the reader that the earth's original man was of Africa and how that man was responsible for initiating human culture and civilization.

[Review Of] Margaret B. Blackman. During My Time: Florence Edenshaw Davidson, A Haida Woman, Gretchen M. Bataille Jan 1986

[Review Of] Margaret B. Blackman. During My Time: Florence Edenshaw Davidson, A Haida Woman, Gretchen M. Bataille

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

This book is a recorded autobiography, but it is also much more. In the preface Blackman traces her connections with the Haida people of the Northwest Coast since 1970 and explains her special relationship with Florence Edenshaw Davidson whom she promised in 1973 that she would someday publish the record of her life. Davidson had accepted Margaret Blackman as a grandchild and the special kinship relationship enabled the two of them in 1977 to record the life story of the eighty-one year old Haida woman. Nani, the Haida equivalent for "grandmother," traces through six chapters the significant events of her …

[Review Of] Sylvia Junko Yanagisako. Transforming The Past: Tradition And Kinship Among Japanese Americans, Neil Nakadate

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Transforming the Past is a major contribution to our understanding of Japanese American experience specifically and to our sense of ethnic experience generally. Yanagisako's study transcends its anthropological base to offer crucial insights previously precluded by both facile “understanding" and methological [methodological] limitations.

The Pervasiveness Of Culture: Significance For Art Education, Barbara A. Boyer Jan 1986

The Pervasiveness Of Culture: Significance For Art Education, Barbara A. Boyer

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

Much of what we learn, we are not aware of -- it is at a taken-for-granted level. This learning is so embedded in our thinking and behavior that even as educators we are often unable to work with or examine these cultural beliefs and assumptions in our teaching and social interactions. In this paper, it is proposed that art educators identify the pervasiveness of culture particularly within educational settings and how cultural attitudes related to art are internalized with in society and affect the teaching/learning process.

The Feldman Method Of Art Criticism: Is It Adequate For The Socially Concerned Art Educator?, Tom Anderson Jan 1986

The Feldman Method Of Art Criticism: Is It Adequate For The Socially Concerned Art Educator?, Tom Anderson

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

The structure and inherent values of the Feldman (1981) method of art criticism are debated in some art education circles. On one hand it is argued that the Feldman method, because of its emphasis on formal analysis, lends itself more readily to analytical formalist criticism, and is thus not an adequate instrument for socially concerned art educators. The other side of the debate has it that the method is appropriate for socially contextual interpretation when applied by socially concerned art educators. My thesis is that Feldman's method is well suited for socially contextual criticism of aesthetic forms. I intend to …

Children’S Views On Art In The Primary Grades, K-3, Nancy R. Johnson Jan 1986

Children’S Views On Art In The Primary Grades, K-3, Nancy R. Johnson

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

This study examined some of the kinds of know ledge that primary students have regarding art. Approximately one hundred students participated in the study. The researcher visited their classrooms, sat among them, and interviewed them as they did their art work. Although the students appeared to have an accurate grasp of the methods for working with art media, they were not very knowledgeable about ways to judge art. At all grade levels, the students' knowledge was somewhat inconsistent and not articulated very well. The students exhibited both unique meanings and socially shared meanings in their discourse and confirmed the importance …

Critique [Of Self-Evaluation Of Black And White College Students By Keith D. Parker], Homer D.C. Garcia Jan 1986

Critique [Of Self-Evaluation Of Black And White College Students By Keith D. Parker], Homer D.C. Garcia

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

The article by Keith D. Parker raises interesting theoretical and methodological questions, but this review focuses on the latter. The author is correct in his critical assessment of black self-esteem research (BSER) methodology. Projective measures have been used in most cases and questions have been raised regarding the validity of such self-esteem measures and therefore about the believability of BSER findings.[1] In addition, blacks and whites tested have not been representative of the general black or white communities of the United States, yet inferences to and comparisons of the populations have been made. Finally, studies have employed non-multivariate statistical techniques …

Critique [Of Puerto Ricans: White Or Non- White? By Robert A. Martinez], Terry Simmons

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

When the first Dutch missionaries reached the far shores of Java, they heard rumors of a recently captured large white monkey being held in a remote village. By the time the missionaries reached the village, however, the mysterious monkey had vanished. They found only the post where it had been tied. Chiseled in stone nearby in Latin, English and Dutch were these words: "Help! I am a Dutch sailor."

[Review Of] Stephen Glazier, Ed. Caribbean Ethnicity Re Visited, David M. Johnson Jan 1986

[Review Of] Stephen Glazier, Ed. Caribbean Ethnicity Re Visited, David M. Johnson

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Like marine life washed up on a beach, most Caribbean peoples have been brought where they are by powerful forces outside their control. These forces include colonialism, slavery, and revolution, processes in the seventeenth and eighteenth century that convulsed Europe and whose effects spread to much of the rest of the world. Just as tidepools a few feet apart can have completely different sets of animal and plant life, Caribbean islands just a few miles apart can have completely different histories and mixtures of peoples. Mirroring the complexity of the life in these tidepools, there are myriad interpretations of the …

[Review Of] Isobel White, Diane Barwick, And Betty Meehan, Eds. Fighters And Singers: The Lives Of Some Aboriginal Women, Gretchen M. Bataille Jan 1986

[Review Of] Isobel White, Diane Barwick, And Betty Meehan, Eds. Fighters And Singers: The Lives Of Some Aboriginal Women, Gretchen M. Bataille

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Fighters and Singers is a collection of fifteen essays written about Aboriginal women of Australia. The authors, mostly anthropologists and all women, wrote of their "sisters," "mothers," and "aunts." The pieces are all informative about tribal life, but they are also warm reminiscences of relationships across cultural boundaries. Among the contributors is Pearl Duncan, the first Aborigine to become a trained teacher in Australia and a former member of the National Aboriginal Education Committee.

[Review Of] Edward A. Tiryakian And Ronald Rogowski, Eds. New Nationalisms Of The Developed West: Toward Explanation, Mary A. Ludwig Jan 1986

[Review Of] Edward A. Tiryakian And Ronald Rogowski, Eds. New Nationalisms Of The Developed West: Toward Explanation, Mary A. Ludwig

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Tiryakian and Rogowski have edited a strong and useful collection of nine theoretical and seven comparative articles on nationalism in advanced industrial societies in the West. What is new in the presentations in this work is the systematic comparison of a number of nationalist movements that have been treated hitherto as separate cases. The writers are focusing on nationalism in advanced capitalist economies rather than in developing nations or socialist industrial states, so examples are drawn from Quebec and Western Europe. A great strength of the collection lies in the richness of the analysis produced by contributors drawn from a …
