Puerto Ricans: White Or Non- White?, Robert A. Martinez Jan 1986

Puerto Ricans: White Or Non- White?, Robert A. Martinez

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

The question of race and racial identity among Puerto Ricans has been one of great confusion and misunderstanding. The confusion and misunderstanding exist both among Puerto Ricans and Anglo-Americans. This is a study of the paradox of race perceptions among mainland-bred and island-bred Puerto Ricans. This study was undertaken to look at several related issues: What are the racial perceptions and attitudes held by Puerto Ricans, both on the island and the continental mainland? Further, to what extent has Americanization of Puerto Ricans affected those perceptions and attitudes? Likewise, what role does class consciousness and class mobility play? How do …

[Review Of] Marie M. De Lepervanche. Indians In A White Australia: An Account Of Race, Class And Indian Immigration To Eastern Australia, Patricia Grimshaw Jan 1986

[Review Of] Marie M. De Lepervanche. Indians In A White Australia: An Account Of Race, Class And Indian Immigration To Eastern Australia, Patricia Grimshaw

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Within recent years the migrant experience in Australia, particularly of non-European peoples, has attracted increasing attention from historians and social scientists, under the strong influence of the American scholarly tradition. The Chinese, among Asian groups, have received the most attention. In Indians in White Australia, the Sydney anthropologist Marie de Lepervanche contributes substantially to our understanding of the experience of another Asian group, Indians, whose fortunes over a century or more have been previously neglected. First the writer establishes, briefly but lucidly, an historical context for understanding the situation in which Indians find themselves in contemporary Australia; she examines the …


[Review Of] Janet Moursund. The Process Of Counseling And Therapy, Wesley T. Forbes Jan 1986

[Review Of] Janet Moursund. The Process Of Counseling And Therapy, Wesley T. Forbes

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

In The Process of Counseling and Therapy Moursund encapsulates the principles and concepts of counseling and therapy that transcend sexism and ethnic barriers. The book can be identified as a therapeutic dictionary, guide, or much needed tool for the counselor and therapist, a basic guide that is tantamount to a carpenter's tool box or a chef’s cook-book. It provides guidelines and helpful hints which aid in finding resolutions to roadblocks and confusion that often occur in the process of counseling and therapy.

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] Mongane Serote. To Every Birth Its Blood, David K. Bruner Jan 1986

[Review Of] Mongane Serote. To Every Birth Its Blood, David K. Bruner

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Mongane Serote is a poet of considerable merit; this I should have discovered from reading his novel, To Every Birth Its Blood, even had I not heard and seen him read his poetry to an African Literature Association Conference in 1975. The novel, however, is not obtrusively poetic; rather, its physical and psychological insights are apt and genuine parts of an integral whole, not ends in and of themselves. Yet a careful reader will respond most positively to such expression.


Critique [Of Puerto Ricans: White Or Non- White? By Robert A. Martinez], Barbara L. Hiura Jan 1986

Critique [Of Puerto Ricans: White Or Non- White? By Robert A. Martinez], Barbara L. Hiura

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Race, class and identity -- key ethnic issues of the 1980s -- have been analyzed from various disciplinary perspectives, and Martinez's article is a contribution to the growing number of written assessments concerning racism and classism in the United States. His research explores the psychological and social perceptions of color, race, identity, and class among Puerto Ricans living in the United States and in Puerto Rico.


The Ethnic Matrix: Implications For Human Service Practitioners, Jesse M. Vazquez Jan 1986

The Ethnic Matrix: Implications For Human Service Practitioners, Jesse M. Vazquez

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Most human services practitioners at one time or another must confront cultural issues which in many ways have a direct impact on their role and effectiveness as helping professionals. This article links the phenomenon of ethnic identity to problems, practices, and policies encountered in the field of human services. Although most of the theoretical concepts presented here are related to counseling psychology and education, other practitioners with culturally diverse client populations will also find the information applicable to their work. The social scientist, teacher and researcher, who is often the disseminator of theoretical and methodological paradigms, should also find these …


Critique [Of Female Power, Ethnicity, And Aging By Linda M. C. Abbott], Faye Pauli Whitaker Jan 1986

Critique [Of Female Power, Ethnicity, And Aging By Linda M. C. Abbott], Faye Pauli Whitaker

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

"Female Power, Ethnicity, and Aging" will surely be of interest to readers of this journal. Scholars in ethnic and women's studies have, no doubt, considered at one time or another the impact of ethnicity and age on the power of women in our culture and have a sense of the negative influence of these factors on women who as a group have marginal status in our power structures. So it is that we are anxious to have our sense of these relationships documented in some way or to have the philosophical implications of the intersections of these factors explored and …


Female Power, Ethnicity, And Aging, Linda M. C. Abbott Jan 1986

Female Power, Ethnicity, And Aging, Linda M. C. Abbott

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

The standard academic presentation on the topic of power rarely alludes to the elderly, ethnic groups, or to females of any age or race. The cultural history of humankind has been one of gross inequities in the distribution of power, and much of this distributional variance has been attributable to the categories of race, gender, and age. When these categories overlap, the impact on individual access to power has been, and continues to be, the greatest.


[Review Of] Jo Miles Schuman. Art From Many Hands: Multicultural Art Projects For Home And School, Linda M. C. Abbott Jan 1986

[Review Of] Jo Miles Schuman. Art From Many Hands: Multicultural Art Projects For Home And School, Linda M. C. Abbott

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Jo Miles Schuman's text is designed to help students develop an appreciation for one another's cultural heritage and to expand their knowledge of art. Both objectives are accomplished with considerable grace in this beautifully executed and illustrated celebration of craftsmanship. The author clearly values the creativity of a wide variety of peoples and the potential of art as a language of intercultural understanding.


[Review Of] Michi Kodama-Nishimoto, Et Al. Hanahana, An Oral History Anthology Of Hawaii's Working People, Russell Endo Jan 1986

[Review Of] Michi Kodama-Nishimoto, Et Al. Hanahana, An Oral History Anthology Of Hawaii's Working People, Russell Endo

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Oral history is unquestionably an important method for recovering the history of ethnic groups, particularly of ethnic working people who leave few written accounts of their own and whose lives are often ignored or else inadequately described by outsiders because of their apparent routineness and unimportance. Unfortunately, many oral history materials remain unknown and unused except by occasional researchers. In 1976, the Hawaii State Legislature established the Oral History Project (OHP, formerly the Ethnic Studies Oral History Project) at the University of Hawaii to record the recollections of ethnic working men and women. Since then, OHP has interviewed over 250 …


[Review Of] William A. Schultze. Urban Politics: A Political Economy Approach, Linda M. C. Abbott Jan 1986

[Review Of] William A. Schultze. Urban Politics: A Political Economy Approach, Linda M. C. Abbott

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Two significant historical events have created a receptive climate for this scholarly look at the American city. In the global context, the advent of multinational capitalism has transformed the city, along with other segments of the American economy. On the domestic front, increasing numbers of American cities have faced fiscal crisis, and in some cases, insolvency, in the late 1970s and early 1980s.


[Review Of] William C. Crain. Theories Of Development: Concepts And Applications, W. Gary Cannon Jan 1986

[Review Of] William C. Crain. Theories Of Development: Concepts And Applications, W. Gary Cannon

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Theories of Development: Concepts and Applications provides an excellent overview of developmental thinking throughout history and across several theoretical disciplines from Rousseau, the father of the developmental tradition, and Locke, the father of environmentalism, to the behaviorists and psycholinguists, Skinner and Chomsky. Crain then extends his coverage to the humanistic movement of Maslow and others. As Crain traces developmental theory, he draws parallels between early developmentalists and the modern humanists, suggesting that learning theorists and other environmentalists, by placing their focus on controlling and shaping behavior, provide an orientation that is too one sided. Modern humanists, suggests Crain, seek environments …

Issues Posed By The Study Of Folk Art In Art Education, Kristin G. Congdon Jan 1986

Issues Posed By The Study Of Folk Art In Art Education, Kristin G. Congdon

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

The study of folk art processes and products reveals several issues concerning the study of art and our educational methodologies. This paper will address the following issues and how they relate to the field of art education: (a) the learning process which takes place in folk art settings and the notion of the folk artist as educator; (b) aesthetics, art criticism, and art history from the folk artist's perspective; (c) the many functions of art and the value of one function over another in our society; and (d) the existence of elitism in folk art categorization by academics.


Seeing Eye To I: Perceptual Development And Sense Of Self, Charles G. Wieder, Mary Ann C. Gray Jan 1986

Seeing Eye To I: Perceptual Development And Sense Of Self, Charles G. Wieder, Mary Ann C. Gray

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

This paper is a commentary on current views of early development in art and argues for a theory which emphasizes a more active role of the learner in the refinement of perceptual ability, particularly in drawing development. Independent perception is presented as a primary source of children's visual imagery: and inference and problem solving, rather than imitation, are seen to characterize the drawing process as well as to indicate proper methods of instruction. Discussion also considers the shift away from inquiry in this area.


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 …
