[Review Of] Linda Pertustati. In Defense Of Mohawk Land: Ethnopolitical Conflict In Native North America, Raymond Wilson Jan 2001

[Review Of] Linda Pertustati. In Defense Of Mohawk Land: Ethnopolitical Conflict In Native North America, Raymond Wilson

Ethnic Studies Review

On March 10, 1990, Mohawks at Kanehsatake, located in Quebec, Canada, staged an armed demonstration that lasted seventy-eight days to protest the expansion of the Oka Golf Club onto lands that the Mohawk claimed, which included their ancestral burial grounds. One Canadian officer was killed, and many on both sides were injured during the protest. The entire Mohawk-Oka conflict lasted 200 days (March 10-September 26) and finally ended when the Canadian federal government, on behalf of the Mohawks, purchased the contested land from the town of Oka. Linda Pertusati, Assistant Professor of Ethnic Studies at Bowling Green State University, offers …


[Review Of] Aldon Lynn Nielsen, Ed. Reading Race In American Poetry: An Area Of Act, Dean Rader Jan 2001

[Review Of] Aldon Lynn Nielsen, Ed. Reading Race In American Poetry: An Area Of Act, Dean Rader

Ethnic Studies Review

For some time now it has been fashionable when reviewing any sort of anthology to focus critical lens on what the anthology leaves out. In both formal and informal reviews of literary anthologies and collections of essays what an editor does not include in his or her text often takes precedent over the relative virtues of the texts actually appearing in the anthology itself. In the most postmodern of moments, absence erases presence.

Univercity News (2000-11-06)

UniverCity News, 1998-2001

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.

[Review Of] Adelaida Reyes. Songs Of The Caged, Songs Of The Free: Music And The Vietnamese Refugee Experience, Deborah Wong Jan 2000

[Review Of] Adelaida Reyes. Songs Of The Caged, Songs Of The Free: Music And The Vietnamese Refugee Experience, Deborah Wong

Ethnic Studies Review

This important book documents two areas, the history of the Vietnamese traumatic emigration to the U.S. from 1975 to the early 1990s and the central role of music in Vietnamese responses to diaspora. Because ethnographic studies of the Vietnamese diaspora are still limited in number, and this is the first focused on Vietnamese expressive practices, Songs of the Caged is a major contribution on both fronts. Unlike many accounts of the Vietnamese American experience, Reyes' book is based on extended field research and addresses big issues with attention to history and to real people in real situations often conveyed through …


[Review Of] George J. Leonard (Ed.). The Asian Pacific Heritage: A Companion To Literature And The Arts, Jeff Partridge Jan 2000

[Review Of] George J. Leonard (Ed.). The Asian Pacific Heritage: A Companion To Literature And The Arts, Jeff Partridge

Ethnic Studies Review

In this large volume of essays, general editor George J. Leonard aims to produce a "tool kit" for the multicultural classroom that will "unlock the greatest number of (Asian-Pacific American-APA) authors and artists" (xiv) for students and teachers. In many ways he hits the mark. Readers who once skipped over the Chinese phrases in Amy Tan's The Joy Luck Club can now find them explained in Molly H. Isham's "Reader's Guide" to the novel. Those who want to know the meaning of "no-no boys" or "FOBs," or "Mestizos" or the date when the "Queue Ordinance" was passed can find them …


White Ethnic: A Social Concept, Joseph M. Conforti Jan 2000

White Ethnic: A Social Concept, Joseph M. Conforti

Ethnic Studies Review

Why such a term as white ethnic or ethnic developed and what purposes it served guides this inquiry. Its origins in the wake of the Civil Rights Movement in a context of American immigration history are explored together with its adoption as a sociological concept. A survey of textbooks most likely to use such a term, particularly texts concerning race and ethnicity, intergroup relations, and sociology of minorities, together with related literature illustrates both its usage and the basis of such usage.


[Review Of] Wendy S. Hesford. Framing Identities: Autobiography And The Politics Of Pedagogy, Helen Lock Jan 2000

[Review Of] Wendy S. Hesford. Framing Identities: Autobiography And The Politics Of Pedagogy, Helen Lock

Ethnic Studies Review

Drawing on her experiences as a teacher of writing for six years at Oberlin College, Wendy S. Hesford in Framing Identities: Autobiography and the Politics of Pedagogy addresses important and timely questions, such as "How do historically marginalized groups expose the partiality and presumptions of institutional histories and truths through autobiographical acts?"(xx)


[Review Of] Eric Wertheimer. Imagined Empires: Incas, Aztecs, And The New World Of American Literature, David Carey Jr Jan 2000

[Review Of] Eric Wertheimer. Imagined Empires: Incas, Aztecs, And The New World Of American Literature, David Carey Jr

Ethnic Studies Review

Eric Wertheimer convincingly argues that inaccuracy and omission in historical narratives made an indelible mark on American identity in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The ethnic diversity of America, even though sparingly portrayed in the historical writing of the time, also had an important effect on American identity. Wertheimer concludes that while American identity has a public concept, individuals determine the real meaning in private spheres. He examines five Anglo, male authors (Philip Freneau, Joel Barlow, William Prescott, Herman Melville, and Walt Whitman) to ascertain what they thought of as American history and who should be represented in it. These …


Patchwork And Pr: Seminole-Constructed Public Image, Cynthia Kasee Jan 2000

Patchwork And Pr: Seminole-Constructed Public Image, Cynthia Kasee

Ethnic Studies Review

Florida Seminoles represent a unique "response culture" among Southeastern Native Americans. An amalgamation of tribes, their history has been marked by their adaptability in the face of massive cultural change. Today the Seminoles are a major force in Florida's economy and politics. The public face they present has largely been of their own making throughout their history, and now it is more consciously so.

Rwanda, Burundi, And Their "Ethnic" Conflicts, Stephen B. Isabirye, Kooros M. Mahmoudi Jan 2000

Rwanda, Burundi, And Their "Ethnic" Conflicts, Stephen B. Isabirye, Kooros M. Mahmoudi

Ethnic Studies Review

This paper demonstrably dispels the assumption that ethnic conflict in Rwanda and Burundi is a chronic endemic phenomenon. It emphasizes the consolidation of the caste system during the colonial era, intra regional disparities within the two communities, high population densities, very weak economic bases, poverty, and international interference as some of the cardinal dynamics behind the current deadly contentions within the two states. An analysis behind the genocidal tendencies in the two countries is well illustrated, with special emphasis on the Rwandese tragedy of 1994 as well as its parallels and divergences with the Nazi Holocaust.


[Review Of] Bruce E. Johansen, (Ed.) The Encyclopedia Of Native American Economic History, Robert Mark Silverman Jan 2000

[Review Of] Bruce E. Johansen, (Ed.) The Encyclopedia Of Native American Economic History, Robert Mark Silverman

Ethnic Studies Review

The Encyclopedia of Native American Economic History offers a unique perspective on economic development in North America, primarily because it constantly reminds the reader of the fundamental contradictions that this process has entailed. A view of economic processes fundamentally different from orthodox scholarly analysis emerges in many of the volume's entries. In total a picture of economic activity is projected that links consumption, cultural conflict, social and ecological reproduction, and the transformation of group identity. This volume takes exploratory steps toward the development of alternative explanations of economic growth and change in society, particularly as these processes relate to the …


[Review Of] Eric Greene. Planet Of The Apes As American Myth: Race, Politics, And Popular Culture, George H. Junne Jr Jan 2000

[Review Of] Eric Greene. Planet Of The Apes As American Myth: Race, Politics, And Popular Culture, George H. Junne Jr

Ethnic Studies Review

Planet of the Apes (1968) was such a hit movie that it spawned several sequels. They included Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970), Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971), Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972), and Battle for the Planet of the Apes (1973). In the 1974 television season CBS broadcast the series "Planet of the Apes." NBC followed with the animated Saturday morning series (September, 1975-September, 1976), "Return to the Planet of the Apes." Eric Greene clearly demonstrates that the Apes saga is little more than the support of the American myth of triumphalism: …


[Review Of] America Rodriguez. Making Latino News: Race, Language, Class, M. L. (Tony) Miranda Jan 2000

[Review Of] America Rodriguez. Making Latino News: Race, Language, Class, M. L. (Tony) Miranda

Ethnic Studies Review

This is an excellent book. In the writing of this edition the author has left little to be criticized. The only criticism that could be made is that most of her analysis focuses on Latino media in Los Angeles and Miami and glosses over other U.S. cities with large Latino populations, however she provides valid reasons for this.


The Stcc Science Teaching Intern Project, N. Rapoport Jan 2000

The Stcc Science Teaching Intern Project, N. Rapoport

Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations

The Springfield Technical Community College (STCC) Science Teaching Intern Project was implemented as a pilot study to give community college students an opportunity to experience science teaching. At the same time, it provided seventh graders in inner city middle schools opportunities to interact with college students and to take advantage of science resources not usually available to them. Interns attended weekly meetings and participated in an all-day science field trip at the college. Most participants also made observations in a middle school science classroom and presented a science activity in the classroom. Not only did the project provide a partnership …


Seeing Childhood In Art Education, Paul Duncum Jan 2000

Seeing Childhood In Art Education, Paul Duncum

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

Art education theory and practice sees children as constructivist learners, but postmodern theory teaches us to see children with multiple and fragmented identities. Postmodern theory is used to examine childhood as a site of divergent discourses concerned with persistent adult attempts to control both actual children and the concept of childhood. Many alternative conceptions find pictorial form in the mass media, from abused child to nightmarish threat. This paper focuses on the idea of children as rabid consumers. It examines television advertisements aimed at children, especially by McDonald’s, Mattel and Cap Toys. Implications for the classroom as well as art …
