[Review Of] Henry Lewis Suggs , Ed. The Black Press In The South, 1865-1979, James B. Potts

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

This volume consists of twelve essays that address the history of black newspapers in the states that constituted the Confederacy. The intent of this collection, explains its editor, is to examine the southern black press "not only as an instrument of social change but as black enterprise, black crusade, and black artistic expression" (vii).

[Review Of] Isobel White, Diane Barwick, And Betty Meehan, Eds. Fighters And Singers: The Lives Of Some Aboriginal Women, Gretchen M. Bataille Jan 1986

[Review Of] Isobel White, Diane Barwick, And Betty Meehan, Eds. Fighters And Singers: The Lives Of Some Aboriginal Women, Gretchen M. Bataille

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Fighters and Singers is a collection of fifteen essays written about Aboriginal women of Australia. The authors, mostly anthropologists and all women, wrote of their "sisters," "mothers," and "aunts." The pieces are all informative about tribal life, but they are also warm reminiscences of relationships across cultural boundaries. Among the contributors is Pearl Duncan, the first Aborigine to become a trained teacher in Australia and a former member of the National Aboriginal Education Committee.

[Review Of] C. Kamarae, M. Schultz, And W.M. O'Barr, Eds. Language And Power, Linda M. C. Abbott

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

In recent years, educators concerned with issues of access and equity have supported a variety of bilingual educational delivery systems. Similarly, feminists seeking representation and recognition have advocated inclusive language and nonsexist job titles. From these and other arenas, the relationship of language and power has surfaced as an issue of national importance. In this timely collection of essays, Kamarae and her associates have legitimated and extended the discussion.

[Review Of] Sandy Lydon. Chinese Gold: The Chinese In The Monterey Bay Region, D. John Lee Jan 1986

[Review Of] Sandy Lydon. Chinese Gold: The Chinese In The Monterey Bay Region, D. John Lee

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Lydon's history of the Chinese in the Monterey Bay region is a monument to the Chinese who immigrated to North America everywhere. The title Chinese Gold refers to a metaphor Lydon uses throughout his account of how "through their particular form of alchemy (insight plus ingenuity plus energy), the Chinese turned what they found into gold" (p. 504). The Chinese were able to see the resources of the Monterey Bay region where others could not and developed them "to the lasting benefit of the Monterey Bay region." But there are very few Chinese Americans in the region today and there …

[Review Of] Kristin Herzog. Women, Ethnics, And Exotics : Images Of Power In Mid·Nineteenth Century American Fiction, Gretchen M. Bataille Jan 1986

[Review Of] Kristin Herzog. Women, Ethnics, And Exotics : Images Of Power In Mid·Nineteenth Century American Fiction, Gretchen M. Bataille

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Herzog examines literary works of the mid-nineteenth century which reverse values, transcend stereotypes, and demand a reevaluation of the roles of "women, ethnics, and exotics" in fiction as well as reality. The ethnics are blacks and Indians; the exotics Herzog defines as " strikingly out of the orindary [ordinary]" or " excitingly strange" characters. Images of women are similar to the images of the "Noble Savages" and other non-white people in that all are considered "natural," more innocent or more demonic, more devine [divine] and more terrifying than white males . So too are they viewed as more passive, less …

[Review Of] Emmanuel Ngara. Art And Ideology In The African Novel, Jean Bright Jan 1986

[Review Of] Emmanuel Ngara. Art And Ideology In The African Novel, Jean Bright

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

The sub-title of this enigmatic book is "A Study of the Influence of Marxism on African Writing." The first of the two parts of the books deals primarily with definitions of Marxist aesthetics. For a serious work, not only are the cliches and terminology tiresome but the choice of quotations is unfortunate. Ngara quotes Marx's and Engel's opinion that Dickens, Thackeray, Emily Bronte and Gaskell wrote novels "whose graphic and eloquent pages have issued to the world more political and social truths than have been uttered by all the professional politicians, publicists and moralists put together." Ngara adds a pronouncement …

[Review Of] Paule Marshall. Praisesong For The Widow, Delo Washington

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Paule Marshall's Praisesong for the Widow is an account of maturation or, put another way, of a black woman's willingness to confront her emergent self. Tastefully groomed, sixty-four year old Avatarra " Avey" Johnson leaves her suburban New York home to vacation with two friends on a West Indies cruise. Her decision to interrupt her plans, shortly after arriving at one of the destinations, is a surprise to everyone. Avey is compelled to discount the material investment she has made in the trip in order to follow a mind that has been haunted by dreams of her great aunt Cuney.

[Review Of] Edward A. Tiryakian And Ronald Rogowski, Eds. New Nationalisms Of The Developed West: Toward Explanation, Mary A. Ludwig Jan 1986

[Review Of] Edward A. Tiryakian And Ronald Rogowski, Eds. New Nationalisms Of The Developed West: Toward Explanation, Mary A. Ludwig

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Tiryakian and Rogowski have edited a strong and useful collection of nine theoretical and seven comparative articles on nationalism in advanced industrial societies in the West. What is new in the presentations in this work is the systematic comparison of a number of nationalist movements that have been treated hitherto as separate cases. The writers are focusing on nationalism in advanced capitalist economies rather than in developing nations or socialist industrial states, so examples are drawn from Quebec and Western Europe. A great strength of the collection lies in the richness of the analysis produced by contributors drawn from a …

An Evaluation Of Two Training Programs Designed To Enable Hostages To Cope More Effectively With Captivity Stress, Thomas Strentz Jan 1986

An Evaluation Of Two Training Programs Designed To Enable Hostages To Cope More Effectively With Captivity Stress, Thomas Strentz

Theses and Dissertations

In the present study, airline employees undergoing highly realistic but simulated captivity as hostages were given one of three types of prestress training programs. One group of subjects was given Problem (P)-focused training, which emphasized activities which would be useful in actively manipulating the stress situation. A second group was given Emotion (E)-focused training which emphasized techniques designed to help them directly modulate fear and anxiety associated with the situation. A third (control) group was given no specific stress management training. Retrospective data from the Ways of Coping Check List indicated that subjects tended to engage in the type of …

Critique [Of Chicano Ethnicity And Aging By Marvin A. Lewis], Barbara L. Hiura Jan 1985

Critique [Of Chicano Ethnicity And Aging By Marvin A. Lewis], Barbara L. Hiura

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Lewis's article presents a creative and exciting approach for understanding the importance elderly people have not only in the family but in the community as well. He blends literary personification, cultural integration, and social science strategies for illustrating Chicano traditions and their relationships to the aging process. Literary works involving curandero/curandera and abuelo/abuela folk traditions depict reverance [reverence], honor, power, and prestige as engaging qualities inherited by the elderly. Lewis's analysis of Anaya's Bless Me Ultima and Santiago's Famous All Over Town illustrate the congruence folk traditions have with the positive aspects of the aging process. By using literature to …
