Policing The Races: Attempts To Enforce Racial Purity In Virginia (1630 -1930), John S. Mahoney Jr., Paul G. Kooistra
Policing The Races: Attempts To Enforce Racial Purity In Virginia (1630 -1930), John S. Mahoney Jr., Paul G. Kooistra
L. Douglas Wilder School of Government and Public Affairs Publications
This paper examines Virginia's "Racial Purity Laws" enacted to deny equal opportunity to black men and women who could "pass" as whites from the early 1600s to the U. S. Supreme Court decision (Loving v. Virginia) in 1967. When physical characteristics failed to match the legal definition of race, the state used records of vital statistics for boundary maintenance. Birth certificates, in particular, served as "internal passports" to school assignments, work eligibility, and marriage, denying citizens defined as "Negro" life chances available to whites. It was also found that over time the definition of "Negro" was expanded to include citizens …

Explorations in Ethnic Studies
This special issue of the journal on the theme of "Ethnicity: Global Perspectives" results from papers presented at the National Association for Ethnic Studies' 22nd annual conference held in March 1994 at Kansas City, Missouri. For the first time the Association's national conference was held in conjunction with the annual conference of another organization, the Central States Anthropological Society. Under the able guidance of conference co-organizers, Harriet and Marty Ottenheimer, the meeting was an outstanding success both in attendance and active participation. Fortunately, Harriet graciously agreed to be the editor of this special issue.
Gang Innovation, Patriarchy And Powerlessness : Expanding Theory To Relfect [Reflect] American Politics, Theresa A. Martinez
Gang Innovation, Patriarchy And Powerlessness : Expanding Theory To Relfect [Reflect] American Politics, Theresa A. Martinez
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
When cities grew large enough to develop slums, gangs began to form. The heritage of gang behavior is poverty and its children: abuse, alcoholism, and drug addiction, to name a few. Today we are facing a problem of major proportions in our cities. Gang membership is seemingly growing with no end in sight, and a beleaguered nation, a struggling city, the mother of a gang member all ask: Why? There are probably several answers and more questions. This paper is an attempt to understand the problem of gang delinquency by utilizing already existing theory. Robert Merton's Strain Theory lends itself …

Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The articles found in this issue of Explorations in Ethnic Studies focus on a wide variety of topics. The first article by E. San Juan, Jr. challenges Ethnic Studies scholars to reassess the principles and goals of the discipline. Utilizing the experience of Asians in U.S. history, San Juan, Jr. highlights flaws in the pluralistic focus of culture that is separate and apart from the economic and political contexts of minority/majority power relationships. He contends that ethnic studies scholars need to critically address the problem of power, the knowledge it produces and that legitimates the misuse and abuse of such …
The Spectacle Of The Invisible: Sephardic Jewish Identity In Multicultural Education, Judea Alhadeff
The Spectacle Of The Invisible: Sephardic Jewish Identity In Multicultural Education, Judea Alhadeff
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
This study assesses from a North American Sephardic (Spanish-Jewish) perspective, the ambiguous relationships among Jews, "people of color," and definitions of "whiteness" in order to re-evaluate multicultural education in the United States. My intent is not to polarize multiple cultural identities but to illuminate and clarify differences in Jewish histories, identities, and cultures. The assumption that all Jews are and can pass as white, and therefore "have privilege," denies the complexities of racism, anti-Semitism, whiteness, assimilation, and multiculturalism. In a world where hierarchical divisions narrowly define our perceptions, our relations to power, and our multiple identities, Sephardic non-white Jews are …

[Review Of] Alfred Arteaga, Ed. An Other Tongue, Kumiko Takahara
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
People who are regarded as minorities by their dominant peers are pressured to establish their identity as citizens of a nation and as individuals of a distinct culture. Their identity may be articulated differently governed by such factors as language, race, gender, political and economical status, and so on. All of the fifteen essays collected in this book are purported to address various material conditions of discourse revolving around nation and ethnicity with special focus on linguistic conditions in the United States, the Caribbean, Europe, and Asia. These essays roughly fall into two categories according to their focus either on …

[Review Of] Nancy Ablemann And John Lie. Blue Dreams: Korean Americans And The Los Angeles Riot, Eugene C. Kim
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Beginning with a poetic title, Blue Dreams, the authors recount in depth as to how the Blue Dreams of the Korean American merchants in the East Los Angeles had shattered in the midst of 1992 riot that turned out to be “elusive dreams” in America (Blue symbolizes color of heaven, sky, and hope for Koreans).
[Review Of] David G. Such. Avant-Garde Jazz Musicians: Performing "Out There ", Andrew Bartlett
[Review Of] David G. Such. Avant-Garde Jazz Musicians: Performing "Out There ", Andrew Bartlett
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
The burgeoning scholarship on the avant-garde in jazz of the 1950s and 1960s still accounts for only a small number of scholarly jazz-related publications. Though the ascendance of interdisciplinary, cultural studies paradigms leave open many pathways to discussions of avant-garde jazz, David G. Such's Avant-Garde Jazz Musicians incorporates little ofthe cultural criticism Ronald Radano offers in his equally new New Musical Figurations: Anthony Braxton’s Cultural Critique (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1993). Such instead focuses multiply on what avant-garde musicians say about their music's position a handful of topical devices which head chapters in the text. From considering "Labels," an …

[Review Of] Darrell Y. Yamamoto. Monitored Peril, Kumiko Takahara
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Television has been one of the most influential media in constructing the racialized social image of Asian Americans. Through meticulous examinations of roles and stories given to Asian Americans in television and combined with careful analysis of political and social events, the author successfully reconstructs a comprehensive history of Asian Americans in the entertainment world over the period of the past five decades. In fact, this book merits more than a mere media study of Asian Americans for its delivery of a critical view of historical relationships of the United States with Asia which are responsible for creating continuously popular …

[Review Of] Maria, Espinosa. Dark Plums; Maria, Espinosa. Longing, Maythee Rojas
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Published within the same year, Dark Plums and Longing both delve into the darker side of the human psyche. Similar in topic, the novels explore the complex relationship between love, sexuality, and power. While Dark Plums gives its readers a voyeuristic look into the life of Adrianne, a young, insecure Chilean-American woman who seeks to find herself through various sexual encounters with men and women, Longing leads them through the painful psychological recovery of American Jew Rosa and the simultaneous mental breakdown of her Chilean husband, Antonio. in addition, each novel focuses around the female protagonists' struggle for inner strength …

[Review Of] Kenneth Robert Janken. Rayford W. Logan And The Dilemma Of The African-American Intellectual, Vernon J. Williams Jr
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
In this superb reconstruction of the life of Rayford W. Logan, Kenneth Robert Janken, an assistant professor of African American studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, draws on his protagonist's somewhat tormented life to document the veracity of John Hope Franklin's thesis that, "it was the American Negro scholar's dilemma to be obligated constantly to challenge the notion of black inferiority”. Put another way, despite Logan's credentials -- he held a Ph.D. from Harvard University in history; wrote twelve books, including the classic, The Betrayal of the Negro; edited several others, among them, What the Negro …
The Global Resurgence Of Ethnicity: An Inquiry Into The Sociology Of Ideological Discontent, Kasturi Dasgupta
The Global Resurgence Of Ethnicity: An Inquiry Into The Sociology Of Ideological Discontent, Kasturi Dasgupta
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
This essay takes the position that global resurgence of ethnic hostilities can be seen as a manifestation of discontent with the proclaimed national ideologies. The breakdown in the conviction that adherence to an ideology and the application of a related social agenda would ameliorate the critically felt ills of a society, has resulted in the redirection of frustrations towards scapegoat minorities. Whether the ideology has been democratic secularism or socialism, the inability to "deliver the cargo" of economic and social well being, political stabliltiy[stability] has proven to be a direct indictment against the ideology itself. And, like opportunistic diseases, ethnic …
Political Consciousness As A Component Of Black Consciousness In Brazil: Its Presence In The Popular Media, David Covin
Political Consciousness As A Component Of Black Consciousness In Brazil: Its Presence In The Popular Media, David Covin
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The purpose of this paper is to describe the extent to which political consciousness may be found as a component of Black consciousness within a sampling of the Brazilian popular press, and to suggest some significance of that description for the political lives af[of] Afro-Brazilians. In the first section the paper identifies the popular press reviewed and examines the relationship between the popular press and the Afro-Brazilian population. Next, the relationship between Black consciousness and Black political consciousness is discussed, including the significance of that relationship for this paper. It examines the role of the cultural question in some detail. …
Pan-Arabism V. Pan-Africanism In The Sudan: The Crisis Of Divergent Ethnic Ideologies, Jonathan Majak
Pan-Arabism V. Pan-Africanism In The Sudan: The Crisis Of Divergent Ethnic Ideologies, Jonathan Majak
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
This article examines the nature and the extent of political and cultural conflict between Northern and Southern Sudanese. It describes and analyzes various attempts by Arab dominated regimes in the Sudan, since independence from Britain, to achieve national intergration[integration] through Pan-Arabist policies that seek to Islamize and Arabize the African and largely Christian South. The current military regime dominated by Muslim fundamentalists is trying to turn the Sudan into an Islamic republic. Not only has this brought about a civil war, but it has also alienated other Muslims in the North who favor a secular government.
The Afrocentric Project: The Quest For Particularity And The Negation Of Objectivity, John Mcclendon
The Afrocentric Project: The Quest For Particularity And The Negation Of Objectivity, John Mcclendon
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
This article is a philosophical critique of a very controversial paradigm within Africana Studies. The methodology employed in this paper is a philosophical critique of the epistemological and ontological underpinnings of Afrocentricity. The quest for a distinctive (metaphysical) Africanist perspective has cast Afrocentricity as a subjectivist approach to affirming the integrity of an Africana existential condition. While in the course of African American intellectual history a number of scholars and thinkers have supported the notion of an unique Black metaphysics, Afrocentricity brings to the table a particular approach to the tradition of affirming an African metaphysical exclusivism. What I mean …

Beyond Ethnicity: Toward A Critique Of The Hegemonic Discipline E. San Juan, Jr., E. San Juan Jr.
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
With the current vogue of multiculturalism and cultural diversity requirements as panacea for systemic problems, scholars and teachers of Ethnic Studies need to reassess the principles and goals of their discipline. Los Angeles 1992, among other developments, has exposed the serious inadequacies of old paradigms. A review of the racialized history of Asians in U.S. society, a narrative of oppression and opposition now mystified by the model minority myth, allows us to grasp the flaws of the liberal pluralist focus on culture divorced from the political and economic contexts of unequal power relations. Ultimately, for whom is Ethnic Studies designed? …

[Review Of] W. S. Penn. All My Sins Are Relatives, Gretchen M. Bataille
[Review Of] W. S. Penn. All My Sins Are Relatives, Gretchen M. Bataille
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
W.S. Penn writes with wit and cleverness, but also with passion and love, about himself, his blood relatives, and his spiritual relatives. If the sins of the father are visited upon the son, Penn is doubly doomed by his need to understand his grandfather’s generation as well as his father’s. It is his grandfather and his father, as well as numerous others, to whom the book is dedicated, and it is this line of family members who have created the writer and critic who explores his own life as a mixed blood by simultaneously exploring the lives of his relatives …

[Review Of] Vicki L. Crawford, Jacqueline Ann Rouse, And Barbara Woods, Eds. Women In The Civil Rights Movement: Trailblazers And Torchbearers, 1941-1965, George H. Junne Jr
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Many chronicles of the Civil Rights Movements seem to depict the activities of men such as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, Kwame Toure (Stokely Carmichael), Bobby Seale, and other important persons. Though they merit the attention they receive, it is quite apparent that the central role of women has been omitted. Sexism among historians and those involved in the movement have concealed their centrality. This work attempts to address that situation by recounting the importance of women such as Ella Baker, Mary Fair Burks, Septima Clark, Doris Derby, Famnie [Fannie] Lou Hamer, Zilphia Horton, Dr. Lillian Johnson, Denise …

Explorations in Sights and Sounds
The primary intent of organizing the plenary that follows was to engage a number of dedicated and experienced ethnic studies scholar-activists in a focused conversation on the current state of ethnic studies in the academy. At this point many of us have been involved in ethnic studies for more than twenty years. The perspectives and observations offered in this monograph are transcribed from the recordings of the plenary. It offers the reader a far-ranging discussion of the field, its history, its struggles, its pedagogy, and some of its underlying principles.
[Review Of] Carl Gutierrez-Jones. Rethinking The Borderlands: Between Chicano Culture And Legal Discourse, David Goldstein-Shirley
[Review Of] Carl Gutierrez-Jones. Rethinking The Borderlands: Between Chicano Culture And Legal Discourse, David Goldstein-Shirley
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
In this ambitious book, Carl Gutierrez-Jones musters ideas from Critical Race Studies, Critical Legal Studies, and literary scholarship to explicate the relationship between Chicanos and the law. Contrary to the notion that American jurisprudence is a neutral, value-free institution, the author argues that, as Chicano and especially Chicana artists have depicted, the legal system's emphasis on individual responsibility ignores the economic and social milieu entangling Chicanos. The broad scholarship, incisive analysis, and careful reasoning make this book a valuable contribution to our understanding of the Chicano experience.

[Review Of] William H. Tucker. The Science And Politics Of Racial Research, Vernon J. Williams
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Since there is usually a two year period of time that elapses between the acceptance of a manuscript by a university press and its publication, we must commend William H. Tucker, who is an associate professor of psychology at Rutgers University, in his anticipation of contemporary controversies in reference to the relative abilities of races. Tucker argues that there is continuity in the thought of racists, which over the past two centuries include anthropometricians, eugenicists, and segregationists. ”The imprimatur of science,“ Tucker argues cogently, ”has been offered to justify, first slavery and, later, segregation, nativism, socio-political inequality, class subordination, poverty, …
