Univercity News (1999-05-03)

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.

Ebonics: The Debate Which Never Happened, Barbara Birch Jan 1999

Ebonics: The Debate Which Never Happened, Barbara Birch

Ethnic Studies Review

The thesis of this paper is that no substantive and impartial debate about the pedagogical value of using Ebonics in the classroom could be held in the United States media because America's prescriptive attitude towards Ebonics does not allow fair and objective consideration of the issue. In presenting this theme I will discuss language ideologies in general and prescription in particular as a common attitude towards language. Prescription with respect to Ebonics usually takes the form of language prejudice. I will conclude with an introduction to one area of language planning, status planning, in which language planners try to improve …

[Review Of] Pellegrino D' Acierno, Ed. The Italian American Heritage: A Companion To Literature And Arts, Lucia Chiavola Birnbaum

Ethnic Studies Review

While D'Acierno's book may mark the high water level of contemporary academic Italian American studies, it is not "the" Italian American heritage reference volume. There are some insights, but this anthology does not capture the dynamic potential of Italian American studies.

[Review Of] Maria Del Carmen Boza. Scattering The Ashes, Aloma Mendoza Jan 1999

[Review Of] Maria Del Carmen Boza. Scattering The Ashes, Aloma Mendoza

Ethnic Studies Review

Because of the relatively recent Elian Gonzalez political controversy, whether he should be returned to Cuba to be with his father and grandparents or be allowed to stay in the US, Maria del Carmen Boza's book is timely. Elian's mother drowned while fleeing Cuba for the same political and socioeconomic reasons that Boza's parents did, except that Boza's parents arrived in Miami by airplane in 1960.

[Review Of] Jan Lin. Reconstructing Chinatown: Ethnic Enclaves And Global Change, Russell Endo Jan 1999

[Review Of] Jan Lin. Reconstructing Chinatown: Ethnic Enclaves And Global Change, Russell Endo

Ethnic Studies Review

In contemporary economic globalization with its cross-border flows of labor and capital, advanced and less advanced economies have become more integrated, and in certain respects the former have become more similar to the latter. For example, major American and European "global cities" such as New York and London have seen the growth of a lower economic sector of low paying, labor intensive manufacturing and service work alongside an upper economic sector of international financial and corporate activity. This dual conceptualization of cities is the framework Jan Lin uses to examine the influence of macro level global forces on economic and …

[Review Of] Rachel C. Lee. The Americas Of Asian American Literature: Gendered Fictions Of Nation And Transnation, David Goldstein-Shirley Jan 1999

[Review Of] Rachel C. Lee. The Americas Of Asian American Literature: Gendered Fictions Of Nation And Transnation, David Goldstein-Shirley

Ethnic Studies Review

Rachel C. Lee acknowledges that understanding Asian American experiences merits the study of transglobal migrations of persons and capital. Rather than criticize this scholarly trend in Asian American studies (and, I would add, in ethnic studies more broadly), Lee integrates into them a greater attention to gender. Like much of historical and social scholarship, works on the Asian American diaspora tend to neglect gender. By examining how gender figures into the various ways in which four Asian American writers imagine "America," Lee reminds us that gender, like race, always matters.

Editor's Note, Larry J. Estrada Jan 1999

Editor's Note, Larry J. Estrada

Ethnic Studies Review

This issue of the journal takes a comparative look at the intersection of schooling, language, identity, and public policy as they impact ethnic minority population groups both domestically and internationally. In the first article Amara Holstein examines the social and political fallout of the recent anti-bilingual education initiative in California. Claimed by many as being anti-immigrant and anti-Hispanic, Holstein contends that this initiative falls within a broad, historical lexicon of nativist sentiment and backlash intended to disempower Hispanics and other linguistic minorities in the United States. Her analysis also focuses on the personal voices of California Hispanics and their ambivalency …

Contextual Factors Associated With The Achievement Of African American And European American Adolescents: A Diversimilarity Approach, Joseph Ofori-Dankwa, Robin Mckinney Jan 1999

Contextual Factors Associated With The Achievement Of African American And European American Adolescents: A Diversimilarity Approach, Joseph Ofori-Dankwa, Robin Mckinney

Ethnic Studies Review

The current study is an extension of Luster & McAdoo's 1994 study of African American children and ecological factors impacting academic performance of these children. Luster and McAdoo found that maternal educational level, income, number of children and living conditions were related to how well children performed in school. Those children from impoverished backgrounds with uneducated mothers had lower quality academic performance. Using the Nation Longitudinal Survey of Youth data (1992), the current study investigated similarities and differences in the impact of ecological factors in European American(n = 266) and African American adolescents (n = 400). The results indicated that …

[Review Of] Gustavo Leclerc, Raúl Villa, And Michael J. Dear (Eds.). Urban Latino Cultures: La Vida Latina En La., Catherine S. Ramirez

Ethnic Studies Review

Throughout the twentieth century (and now the twenty-first), the specter of a Latina/o past, present, and future has haunted the myth of Los Angeles as a sunny, bucolic paradise. At the same time it has loomed behind narratives of the city as a dystopic, urban nightmare. In the 1940s Carey McWilliams pointed to the fabrication of a "Spanish fantasy heritage" that made Los Angeles the bygone home of fair señoritas, genteel caballeros and benevolent mission padres. Meanwhile, the dominant Angeleno press invented a "zoot" (read Mexican-American) crime wave. Unlike the aristocratic, European Californias/os of lore, the Mexican/American "gangsters" of the …

Strategies Of Resistance And Disengagement In An Ethnic Enclave: Ei Barrio In Aurora, Illinois, Jack Thornburg Jan 1999

Strategies Of Resistance And Disengagement In An Ethnic Enclave: Ei Barrio In Aurora, Illinois, Jack Thornburg

Ethnic Studies Review

This paper is a case study of a small city undergoing a process of demographic and ethnic change in community, empowerment, and political participation. For the dominant ethnic group these changes are threatening, but resisting the Latino community that they fear tends to set in motion the very conditions that exacerbate the growing prevalence of poverty and the attendant problems of gangs, domestic violence, and school drop-out rates. For the Latino community the challenge to such resistance is through community organizing and bringing pressure upon the city for inclusion in the political structure to influence policy regarding these problems.

[Review Of] Rey Chow. Ethics After Idealism, Andrew Walzer Jan 1999

[Review Of] Rey Chow. Ethics After Idealism, Andrew Walzer

Ethnic Studies Review

I am largely sympathetic to Rey Chow's stated purpose of bringing together cultural studies with critical theory. Chow is critical of the gap that has been created between the two. She accuses critical theorists of believing that theory is superior to cultural studies and suggests racialization is implicit in this claim. But her real ire is reserved for cultural theorists who, in the name of recognizing and celebrating "otherness," reject theory and idealize and thus reify non-Western cultures. She argues that we need to portray non-Western cultures with the same kind of complexity and theoretical analysis as Western cultures. This …
