Intermarriage And Ethnicity: Punjabi Mexican Americans, Mexican Japanese, And Filipino Americans, Karen B. Leonard Jan 1993

Intermarriage And Ethnicity: Punjabi Mexican Americans, Mexican Japanese, And Filipino Americans, Karen B. Leonard

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

The problem is intermarriage, specifically intermarriages patterned by gender (all the men are from one ethnic background and almost all of the women from another) which produce significant biethnic communities. The author's original research on Punjabi Mexican Americans, people whose fathers came from India's Punjab province and whose mothers were of predominantly Mexican or Mexican American heritage, combined field work and interviews with California county records and local historical materials to show the flexibility of ethnic identity. She compares the Punjabi Mexican Americans to Filipino European Americans and Mexican japanese, using studies done by Barbara Posadas and Chizuko Watanabe. She …

[Review Of] University Of Wisconsin System Women's Studies Librarian. Women, Race, And Ethnicity: A Bibliography, Laurie Lisa Jan 1993

[Review Of] University Of Wisconsin System Women's Studies Librarian. Women, Race, And Ethnicity: A Bibliography, Laurie Lisa

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Women, Race, and Ethnicity had its origin in a series of reading lists prepared by the office of the University of Wisconsin System Women's Studies Librarian in the mid-1980s; this newest edition supersedes an earlier June 1988 release. Containing almost 2500 sources, this volume provides a selective, annotated list of college-level print (including special journal issues and chapters in anthologies) and audiovisual resources, emphasizing recent materials on ethnic women in the United States (only a few Canadian materials are included). References are classified under twenty-eight disciplines and topics -- such as Anthropology, Education, Literature, Poetry, and Psychology -- and further …

The War Of Labels: An Art Educator In Search Of A Sign, Jan Jagodzinski Jan 1993

The War Of Labels: An Art Educator In Search Of A Sign, Jan Jagodzinski

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

I recently had the occasion to go shopping with my twelve year old son Jeremy who is now finishing grade seven in a Canadian public school. He had somehow (mysteriously) saved twenty dollars and was determined to buy a T-shirt. Coming from the boomer generation, T-shirts for me where either those funny Stanfield undergarments that my dad wore under his dress shirt (to absorb the sweat during hard work, I suppose?) or what gang members with duck-tails in the '50s wore under their leather jackets to look cool-like the 'Fonz' of Happy Days. During my college art school days, the …


[Review Of] Alain Leroy Locke (Jeffrey C. Stewart, Ed.). Race Contacts And Interracial Relations: Lectures On The Theory And Practice Of Race, Vernon Williams Jr Jan 1993

[Review Of] Alain Leroy Locke (Jeffrey C. Stewart, Ed.). Race Contacts And Interracial Relations: Lectures On The Theory And Practice Of Race, Vernon Williams Jr

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Scholars of the history of race and race relations social science should be deeply indebted to Jeffrey C. Stewart for uncovering and meticulously reconstructing these extant lectures by the philosopher better known for his later contributions to the Harlem Renaissance than his social scientific theorizing: Alain LeRoy Locke. The book is an invaluable source on the thought of an African American intellectual on the subject of the nature of race relations during the Progressive Era and on its relationship to ethnic and class relations as well. So fecund are these lectures with insights and hypotheses which deserve further investigation and …

[Review Of] Hsiang-Shui Chen. Chinatown No More: Taiwan Immigrants In Contemporary New York, Janet E. Benson Jan 1993

[Review Of] Hsiang-Shui Chen. Chinatown No More: Taiwan Immigrants In Contemporary New York, Janet E. Benson

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

This book is a recent addition to the Anthropology of Contemporary Issues series edited by Roger Sanjek. The author, now an Associate Professor of Anthropology at the National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan, worked as a research assistant on Sanjek's New Immigrants and Old Americans Project in Elmhurst-Corona during the mid-1980s. This was the pilot study for what later became the Ford Foundation's Changing Relations Project, a national study of the impact of post-1965 immigration on American society. Chen, a graduate student from Taiwan himself, noticed a sudden increase in Chinese immigration to New York City after 1982. He chose …

[Review Of] Donald W. Jackson. Even The Children Of Strangers: Equality Under The U.S. Constitution, Jennifer L. Dobson

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Can "separate but equal" really be equal? How do we achieve equality through remedial preferential treatment? Does America's "meritocracy" dictate inequality? These compelling questions are addressed in Donald Jackson's Even Children of Strangers: Equality Under the U.S. Constitution.


[Review Of] James Mooney. The Ghost-Dance Religion And The Sioux Outbreak Of 1890, David M. Gradwohl Jan 1993

[Review Of] James Mooney. The Ghost-Dance Religion And The Sioux Outbreak Of 1890, David M. Gradwohl

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

On December 29, 1890, at the Pine Ridge Sioux Reservation in South Dakota, there occurred one of the most bloody and tragic events in American history -- the massacre of hundreds of American Indians by the US Seventh Cavalry at Wounded Knee Creek. A principal factor precipitating this atrocity was the American government's misperception of the so-called Ghost Dance which had spread from the Great Basin and Plateau into the Great Plains. Just a week before the massacre, James Mooney (then a young employee of the Smithsonian Institution's Bureau of Ethnology) had headed west to study the Ghost Dance phenomenon. …


[Review Of] Joseph J. Tobin, Ed. Re-Made In Japan: Everyday Life And Consumer Taste In A Changing Society, Kumiko Takahara Jan 1993

[Review Of] Joseph J. Tobin, Ed. Re-Made In Japan: Everyday Life And Consumer Taste In A Changing Society, Kumiko Takahara

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

The introduction's title to Re-made in Japan, "Domesticating the West," captures precisely the characteristics of the contemporary westernization of Japanese culture. The book is a collection of twelve papers which were originally presented at the American Anthropological Association meeting in 1986 at the University of Hawaii. Japan's economic success has global receptions, ranging from admiration and envy, to resentment. Yet the role of Japan as an avid importer and consumer of western products and ideas is not appreciated. On the contrary, quick adaptation of the Japanese to western culture arouses curiosity, wonder, and even mockery from Eurocentric perspectives. The contributed …


Age And Ethnic Variations In Attitudes Towards Older Persons, Family And Filial Obligations, Suzanne T. Ortega, John Shafer Jan 1993

Age And Ethnic Variations In Attitudes Towards Older Persons, Family And Filial Obligations, Suzanne T. Ortega, John Shafer

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Two major interpretations have been advanced to explain the frequent finding that ethnic elders have more extensive kin support networks than Anglo elders. Structural interpretations argue that the exigencies of poverty and ill health cause minorities to rely more heavily on family members for help than Anglos, whereas cultural explanations rest upon presumed differences in family values and attitudes. Despite the prominence of these two explanations, direct tests of the cultural model are rare. In this study, we use data from a study of 100 African, Mexican, Vietnamese, European, and Native American adults to test the hypothesis that there are …

VCU Voice, 1988-1998

VCU Today, the University’s first official administrative organ, began as a somewhat irregular monthly publication but moved to a bi-weekly newspaper format in the 1980s. The newspaper changed its name to VCU Voice in 1988 and ten years later it appeared under the title UniverCity News. As it neared the end of its run as a physical newspaper, the publication became simply VCU News. These four publications were essentially the same periodical published under different titles by the Office of University Relations. VCU News appeared online for the first time in 2002.
