[Review Of] A. William Hoglund. Immigrants And Their Children In The United States: A Bibliography Of Doctoral Dissertations, 1885-1982, Zora Devrnja Zimmerman Jan 1986

[Review Of] A. William Hoglund. Immigrants And Their Children In The United States: A Bibliography Of Doctoral Dissertations, 1885-1982, Zora Devrnja Zimmerman

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

All disciplines dealing with immigrants and their children in the continental United States since 1789 are represented in this compilation of titles of doctoral dissertations. This bibliography will prove invaluable for most scholars in ethnic studies. The title, unfortunately, may be misleading. It refers to the subject matter of dissertations, and, as such, the volume attests to and illustrates in a concrete way, the historical development of research in ethnic studies. A simple reference to ethnic studies in the title would have been less ambiguous.

[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.

Reclaiming The Subject: Italian Women Self-Defined, Chris Ruggiero Jan 1986

Reclaiming The Subject: Italian Women Self-Defined, Chris Ruggiero

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

In the last twenty years there have been a number of historical and sociocultural studies of Italian Americans. Few, however, have seriously addressed the female experience in the Italian American culture.[1] Indeed, Italian American literature is so deeply immersed in a masculinist view of the Italian American culture that a female corrective to this asymmetry is not enough. Upon critically reviewing the literature, the necessity for a feminist perspective becomes obvious. Consequently, the purpose of this article is two-fold: 1 ) to expose some of the mythology which surrounds the image of Italian American women; and 2) to suggest a …

The Editor Notes ...

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

The Executive Council is challenging members to become more involved on a continuing basis with the revised newsletter, which changes its name to The Ethnic Reporter with Vol. 11, No. 1 (Spring 1986). The recognition that this publication is more than a newsletter is significant in that it provides yet another avenue of publication for members who have information to share which does not fit the format of a research journal. The first issue of The Ethnic Reporter includes an index of the first ten years; the index will be useful to those who want some historical perspective on what …

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]

Critique [Of Reclaiming The Subject: Italian Women Self-Defined By Chris Ruggiero], Gloria Eive Jan 1986

Critique [Of Reclaiming The Subject: Italian Women Self-Defined By Chris Ruggiero], Gloria Eive

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Ruggiero's stated purpose is ". . . to expose . . . the mythology which surrounds the image of Italian American women . . ." through studies of Italian American women and the Italian American family in a "feminist framework." These new studies would offer "feminist method and content" and new, unconventional methodologies would provide a "female corrective" to the "masculinist bias [found in] traditional ethnic studies scholarship." Ruggiero's motives are laudable, but she fails to clarify either the "masculinist," "sex-typed" view point she criticizes or the new "feminist" methodology she advocates. A "selected review" of "traditional literature" she offers …

Critique [Of Female Power, Ethnicity, And Aging By Linda M. C. Abbott], Lillian H. Jones Jan 1986

Critique [Of Female Power, Ethnicity, And Aging By Linda M. C. Abbott], Lillian H. Jones

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Analyzing the variety of ways in which socio-economic phenomena interact with socio-biological phenomena in women's and men's lives is a complex business. Abbott's essay is to be applauded, therefore, in that it directs attention to a subject often treated superficially, if not more frequently ignored.

Critique [Of Self-Evaluation Of Black And White College Students By Keith D. Parker], Lena Solis

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

"Self-Evaluation of Black and White College Students" presents informative results of a study concluding that blacks have higher self-esteem than whites at one Southern university. Although self-esteem in blacks at the university under study may be higher than that of whites, the same is not the case in elementary school districts throughout the Los Angeles Basin in Southern California.

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Vazquez brings to the fore a number of elements which should be of concern to educators as well as counselors today. His article is primarily concerned with the intertwining of cultures in the United States as ethnic minority groups increase in numbers.

The main subject of Jesse Vazquez's article is clearly the ethnic matrix, although several related issues are also covered. While any of the latter could be discussed here, my comments will focus on the matrix itself.

Critique [Of The Ethnic Matrix: Implications For Human Service Practitioners By Jesse M. Vazquez], James H. Williams

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Vazquez's psychosocial model for understanding ethnicity and the ethnic process in American society and how this model could be used by practitioners and researchers to further expand their own work is noble. Vazquez fulfilled his purpose. However, the underlying assumption is somewhat misleading, i.e., practitioners and researchers, generally, are not employing the ethnic matrix model. Vazquez states that the absence of ethnic content and concern with ethnic issues in professional training programs was seriously questioned.

[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.

[Review Of] Gina Webster, Producer. The Black Aged: A Diverse Population, Barbara Hiura

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

The Black Aged: A Diverse Population is an engaging eleven minute videotape documenting various lifestyles of the black elderly in Southern California. Gina Webster skillfully dispells [dispels] the " all black aged are alike" myth as she highlights the current visions and lives of five octogenarians. From immigrant, laborer, writer, missionary, to social worker, each life is as varied as human experiences can be. Each individual carries a vivid past, an enriching present, and an optimistic future.

[Review Of] Chinua Achebe And C.L. Innes, Eds. African Short Stories, David K. Bruner Jan 1986

[Review Of] Chinua Achebe And C.L. Innes, Eds. African Short Stories, David K. Bruner

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

From time to time, collections of modern African short stories like the collection here noted should be published in order to keep an increasingly aware readership abreast of articulate literary production. When such collections are prepared, their editors would do well to be led by the general principles expressed by Chinua Achebe in a short, but very cogent, introduction: The indebtedness of modern African writing to its wealth of oral traditions is taken for granted by the editors and they see no necessity to demonstrate the link further by including traditional tales in this collection.

[Review Of] Lloyd W. Brown. West Indian Poetry, Laverne GonzáLez Jan 1986

[Review Of] Lloyd W. Brown. West Indian Poetry, Laverne GonzáLez

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

From the outset, the reader must be aware of encountering a rarity indeed: a first class scholar who can write objectively and at the same time maintain his involvement with the literature under scrutiny. One would seem to negate the other. But Brown successfully manages each; as a Jamaican, he holds Caribbean literature dear to his literary heart. Yet his claim to scholarship may not be denied, as a perusal of this book will confirm. Brown knows his subject thoroughly, and in scholarly fashion has been able to distance himself sufficiently from the material to present a firm and fair …

[Review Of] Philip S. Foner And Josephine F. Pacheco. Three Who Dared: Prudence Crandall, Margaret Douglass, Myrtilla Miner-Champions Of Antebellum Black Education, Margaret A. Laughlin Jan 1986

[Review Of] Philip S. Foner And Josephine F. Pacheco. Three Who Dared: Prudence Crandall, Margaret Douglass, Myrtilla Miner-Champions Of Antebellum Black Education, Margaret A. Laughlin

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Foner and Pacheco have written biographical sketches of three women who endured personal hardship and suffered persecution because they decided to teach non-slave black children in antebellum America. While the three teachers, Prudence Crandall, Margaret Douglass, and Myrtilla Miner, lived and taught in different parts of the country, Connecticut, Virginia, and Washington, D.C., respectively, they shared similar experiences and provided antislavery proponents with evidence of the many personal hardships and indignities blacks experienced and suffered. In general, most members of the antislavery movement agreed on the importance of education for blacks and worked to establish educational institutions through fundraising efforts …

[Review Of] Antonio J.A. Pido. The Pilipinos In America: Macro/Micro Dimensions Of Immigration And Integration, Russell Endo

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Pilipinos are currently the second largest American ethnic group of Asian descent and are projected to be the largest by 1990. Yet, despite their size and their seventy-five year history in the U.S., there is relatively little material on Pilipinos, and that which exists is fragmented in its coverage and often in sources which are not readily available.

[Review Of] Tarharka. Black Manhood: The Building Of Civilization By The Black Man Of The Nile, Delo Washington Jan 1986

[Review Of] Tarharka. Black Manhood: The Building Of Civilization By The Black Man Of The Nile, Delo Washington

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

In an ambitious effort to document the positive role that the black man has played throughout history, Tarharka has proposed a nontraditional interpretation of that role on the basis of extensive library research. As a result, he calls the credibility of most western scholars into question. Support of his thesis is offered by first reminding the reader that the earth's original man was of Africa and how that man was responsible for initiating human culture and civilization.

[Review Of] Margaret B. Blackman. During My Time: Florence Edenshaw Davidson, A Haida Woman, Gretchen M. Bataille Jan 1986

[Review Of] Margaret B. Blackman. During My Time: Florence Edenshaw Davidson, A Haida Woman, Gretchen M. Bataille

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

This book is a recorded autobiography, but it is also much more. In the preface Blackman traces her connections with the Haida people of the Northwest Coast since 1970 and explains her special relationship with Florence Edenshaw Davidson whom she promised in 1973 that she would someday publish the record of her life. Davidson had accepted Margaret Blackman as a grandchild and the special kinship relationship enabled the two of them in 1977 to record the life story of the eighty-one year old Haida woman. Nani, the Haida equivalent for "grandmother," traces through six chapters the significant events of her …

[Review Of] Rene Philombe. Tales From Cameroon, Alice A. Deck Jan 1986

[Review Of] Rene Philombe. Tales From Cameroon, Alice A. Deck

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Tales from Cameroon is Richard Bjornson's translation of two collections of allegories, anecdotes, and short stories by the Cameroonian writer Rene Philombe. Originally composed in French over a twenty year period between the late 1950s and the late 1970s, these fifteen works reveal the human greed, jealousy, and blindness to its own destructive behavior which Philombe believes divides Cameroonians among themselves.
