Vcu Voice (1990-01-12) Jan 1990

Vcu Voice (1990-01-12)

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.

[Review Of] Sabine R. Ulibarri. El Condor And Other Stories, Carl R. Shirley Jan 1990

[Review Of] Sabine R. Ulibarri. El Condor And Other Stories, Carl R. Shirley

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

This volume continues in the same vein as Governor Glu Glu, but Ulibarri here delves even more deeply into the world of fantasy. Many of the eleven stories in El Condor are like sugar-coated medicine: the sweetness prepares the reader for the lesson which comes in the form of a moral at the end. "The Man Who Didn't Eat," for example, is a tale of the scientific creation of a man who is vegetable Frankenstein's monster, with parts taken from many plants. The creature in Ulibarri's story is benevolent; as a result of his superhuman effort to save his neighbors …

[Review Of] Sid White And S. E. Solberg, Eds. Peoples Of Washington: Perspectives On Cultural Diversity, Phillips G. Davies

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

This book about the various ethnic people in the state is disappointing in two ways: its format, and its very limited material about some of the groups who have been and are living in the state.

[Review Of] Carolyn Gilman And Mary Jane Schneider. The Way To Independence: Memories Of A Hidatsa Indian Family, 1840-1920, Paivi H. Hoikkala Jan 1990

[Review Of] Carolyn Gilman And Mary Jane Schneider. The Way To Independence: Memories Of A Hidatsa Indian Family, 1840-1920, Paivi H. Hoikkala

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

In the early 1800s, when Lewis and Clark visited the Hidatsas, they lived at the mouth of the Knife River with their close allies the Mandans. The estimated 2,000 Hidatsas farmed the fertile valleys and lived in villages overlooking the river. But in 1837, smallpox struck these village dwellers and diminished their numbers by half. The remainder of Hidatsas and Mandans decided to leave their homes and journey north, settling in Like-a-Fishhook village. In 1885, the Hidatsas moved again, this time settling in Independence, North Dakota.

[Review Of] Nash Candelaria. The Day The Cisco Kid Shot John Wayne, Carl R. Shirley Jan 1990

[Review Of] Nash Candelaria. The Day The Cisco Kid Shot John Wayne, Carl R. Shirley

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Although Nash Candelaria has published quite a few short stories, it is in the field of the novel where his most outstanding contributions lie. Memories of the Alhambra (1977), Not by the Sword (1982), and Inheritance of Strangers (1985) form an historical trilogy of New Mexico that expresses the conflicts inherent in a society that is largely defined in terms of conquest. The first work takes a disturbing look at a "New" Mexican who wants to believe he is Spanish, while the other two depict the resiliency of the culture in crisis of the first book.

The Monster In Our House: Racial Incidents On College Campuses, Farrell J. Webb Jan 1990

The Monster In Our House: Racial Incidents On College Campuses, Farrell J. Webb

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Reports of racial incidents on college campuses have risen dramatically in the past four years. Data from recent surveys indicate that minority students, specifically blacks, will experience some form of discrimination during their academic careers.[1] Recent data from other studies reveal that racial and ethnic violence has occurred on at least 70 U.S. college campuses.[2] Efforts to assert one racial/ethnic group over another have often created social conflicts. These social disagreements may take several forms, usually imitating behavior outside of school: shouting discriminatory remarks or becoming physically aggressive or violent.

The University As A Pluralistic System: The Case Of Minority Faculty Recruitment And Retention, Albert Ramirez Jan 1990

The University As A Pluralistic System: The Case Of Minority Faculty Recruitment And Retention, Albert Ramirez

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Recently there has been considerable emphasis placed in higher education on the recruitment and retention of minority faculty. There is an expanding literature indicating the problems relating to the inadequate pool of such faculty and strategies and approaches related to effective recruitment and retention.[1] It is apparent that there is considerable interest in this area. Given the predicted demographic patterns and characteristics in the population during the remainder of this century, it is understandable that colleges and universities are pursuing a more diverse faculty. The recruitment and retention of minority faculty, however, is only one component -- though a critically …

Critiques [Of "Black" Or "African American"; What's In A Name? By Johnny Washington], Ashton Wesley Welch Jan 1990

Critiques [Of "Black" Or "African American"; What's In A Name? By Johnny Washington], Ashton Wesley Welch

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

In "'Black' or 'African American': What's in a Name?" Johnny Washington reminds us that on the appropriate name for Americans of African descent has been ongoing, with varying degrees of intensity, for a long time. In illustrating the ancientness of the debate, he referred to precedents of the current irruption. He observed that "Booker T. Washington advanced the ethnic identity debate" in the 1890s. He also pointed to twentieth century contributions to the labelling crisis by W. E. B. DuBois, Marcus Garvey, Alain Locke, and Stokely Carmichael. Yet, neither the debate nor the labels themselves are the core concern for …

Racism On Campus: An Exploratory Analysis Of Black-White Perceptions In The South, Phyllis G. Ray, Adolph Simmons Jr. Jan 1990

Racism On Campus: An Exploratory Analysis Of Black-White Perceptions In The South, Phyllis G. Ray, Adolph Simmons Jr.

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Racism has been a persistent problem in American society. Sociologists refer to racism as unfair treatment of an individual or a group solely on the basis of race.[1] It may be covert or overt, and it may be expressed on an individual level when a person consciously or unconsciously discriminates against another person. Racism may also be expressed on an institutional level, when rules, policies and practices of organizations and/or institutions discriminate against an individual or a group.[2]

Critique [Of "What Shall I Give My Children?" The Role Of The Mentor In Gloria Naylor's The Women Of Brewster Place And Paule Marshall's Praisesong For The Widow By Linda Wells], Suzanne Stutman Jan 1990

Critique [Of "What Shall I Give My Children?" The Role Of The Mentor In Gloria Naylor's The Women Of Brewster Place And Paule Marshall's Praisesong For The Widow By Linda Wells], Suzanne Stutman

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

In her article "'What Shall I Give My Children?': The Role of the Mentor in Gloria Naylor's The Women of Brewster Place and Paule Marshall's Praisesong for the Widow," Wells focuses upon the woman's role as mentor in various works of modem African American women writers. In using Gwendolyn Brooks' poem as the cornerstone of her study, she establishes the sense of anguish and frustration faced by the mother who seeks to give to her children a sense of worth and self-esteem in a society which automatically disenfranchises them. She poses an important question -- one that goes beyond the …

College Students' Attitudes On Neighborhood Integration: From The Classroom To The Community And Back Again, Robin P. Clair, Michael J. Mcgoun Jan 1990

College Students' Attitudes On Neighborhood Integration: From The Classroom To The Community And Back Again, Robin P. Clair, Michael J. Mcgoun

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

I grew up in an all white suburb, well, almost all white. There were two black families that literally lived on the wrong side of the tracks. Two large run-down old houses sat within five feet of the rumbling trains. Sometimes my family drove past those houses in our old station wagon. On days that our drive was interrupted by a crossing train, I would watch the barefoot black children playing by the street. I never thought of our suburb as being segregated, at least not until I was in high school.

Critique [Of Thinking Woman's Children And The Bomb By Helen Jaskoski], G. Lynn Nelson

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

These days, most literary criticism, like the world view that spawned it, is obsolete, a luxury we can no longer afford. Too much of it is esoteric, egotistical, and trivial. While the world balances on the edge of annihilation, we count semicolons on our computers.

Abstracts From The Eighteenth Annual Conference National Association For Ethnic Studies, Inc

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

For the third year in a row, Conference participants were greeted with snow and ice; however, the chilly weather was not indicative of the warmth generated in sessions and special events planned by Conference organizers Larry Estrada and Jeannie Ortega. The theme, "Ethnicity, Justice, and the National Experience," was addressed by plenary session speakers Tom Romero and Dana Sims. Ray Rodrigues and Keith Miser presented a model for dealing with diversity on campus with the "Colorado State University Perspective on Diversity. "Orage Quarles III, president and publisher of the Fort ColIins Coloradan, eloquently addressed participants at the banquet with his …

[Review Of] Clara E. Rodriguez. Puerto Ricans Born In The U.S.A, Jesse M. Vazquez Jan 1990

[Review Of] Clara E. Rodriguez. Puerto Ricans Born In The U.S.A, Jesse M. Vazquez

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

It may be apocryphal by now, but it has often been said, and it is repeated again by Rodriguez in her most recent contribution to the literature that "Puerto Ricans still hold the dubious distinction of being among the most researched and least understood people in the United States, if not the world. "Rodriguez's use of the existing voluminous literature on the Puerto Rican experience certainly reinforces this widely held belief. Puerto Ricans are the second largest Latino ethnic group in the United States, and in New York City one out of every eight people is Puerto Rican. This is …

[Review Of] Guadalupe San Miguel, Jr. "Let All Of Them Take Heed": Mexican Americans And The Campaign For Educational Equality In Texas, 1910-1981, Carlos F. Ortega Jan 1990

[Review Of] Guadalupe San Miguel, Jr. "Let All Of Them Take Heed": Mexican Americans And The Campaign For Educational Equality In Texas, 1910-1981, Carlos F. Ortega

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

It is well known among educational researchers that pervasive segregation of blacks and underepresentation [underrepresentation] of Mexican Americans in higher education continues to this day, although these practices and policies violate federal law. A recent study by the Tomas Rivera Center for Policy Studies found that the state of Texas failed during the five years of its Equal Educational Opportunity Plan for Higher Education to eliminate the disparities in its system and improve the educational experiences of minorities. The structural dimensions of educational policy have a long and tumultuous history. Moreover, the notion that Mexican American parents care little for …

[Review Of] Cary D. Wintz. Black Culture And The Harlem Renaissance, John C. Walter Jan 1990

[Review Of] Cary D. Wintz. Black Culture And The Harlem Renaissance, John C. Walter

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

In 1925 Professor Alain Locke argued in The New Negro that the Negro was "moving forward under the control largely of his own objectives ..." which were "none other than the ideals of American institutions and democracy." This allowed for blacks everywhere to be called "New Negroes" but nowhere were there as many New Negroes as in Harlem. The activities of these people in politics, arts, literature, music and the like between World War I and the Depression Era came to be called the Harlem Renaissance.

[Review Of] Beth Brant, Ed. A Gathering Of Spirit: A Collection By North American Indian Women, Paivi H. Hoikkala

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

In A Gathering of Spirit, Beth Brant has collected poetry, short stories, letters, and essays written by Native American women, relating their experiences of life in Canada and in the United States. The participating women come from all walks of life. Included are such established authors and scholars as Paula Gunn Allen, Joy Harjo, and Bea Medicine as well as women in prisons, lesbians, and those who live their everyday life on reservations or in urban centers. What unites these women are their experiences as Indian women.
