[Review Of] Lloyd Fernando, Ed., Malaysian Short Stories; K. S. Maniam, The Return; And Wong Meng Voon, Glimpses Of The Past, Cheng Lok Chua
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
These three books of fiction are set in the multilingual and multiracial context of Singapore and Malaysia, two Southeast Asian nations once part of the British Empire and now a region peopled by a volatile mix of indigenous Malays (roughly 45%) and immigrant Chinese (43%), Indians (10%), and Europeans (0.4%). Reflecting the diversity of this region, one book is a short story anthology by a Chinese (Wong), another a novel by an Indian (Maniam), and the third a collection of stories edited by an Eurasian ( Fernando). All three books have some astonishing strengths and some unfortunate lapses, with Maniam's …

[Review Of] Rebecca Chua, The Newspaper Editor And Other Stories, Hua-Yuan Li. Mowry
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Over the past decade, Sinologists in the West have given much scholarly and critical attention to the study of contemporary Chinese fiction as produced by writers in the People's Republic of China and in Taiwan. In contrast, little scholarly dialogue has concerned fictional works, in Chinese or in any other language, published by writers of Chinese parentage who live outside China or Taiwan and who are known as "overseas Chinese." (A single exception to this is, perhaps, the work of Maxine Hong Kingston.) English language readers interested in contemporary Chinese literature will thus welcome this collection in English of fifteen …
[Review Of] Simone Schwarz-Bart, The Bridge Of Beyond, Wolfgang Binder
[Review Of] Simone Schwarz-Bart, The Bridge Of Beyond, Wolfgang Binder
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Simone Schwarz-Bart's first novel (1972) makes highly commendable reading for anybody interested in Afro-Caribbean literature. Barbara Bray's translation does remarkably well in capturing the poetic texture of the narrator's (Telumee) account; Bridget Jones' introduction is useful but could have focused more on the novel itself and on its sources.
[Review Of] Thomas Kochman, Black And White Styles In Conflict, Warner R. Traynham
[Review Of] Thomas Kochman, Black And White Styles In Conflict, Warner R. Traynham
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Race, class and culture are the ingredients of black-white relations in America. Thomas Kochman's book attempts to separate out the cultural component of this mix and to examine it because he believes that it is both ignored and the source of much interracial conflict. The author is Professor of Communications and Theatre at the University of Illinois and has taught and researched in the area of black language and behavior. His background has clearly made him sensitive to aspects of black culture, a sensitivity he exploits in his book.

[Review Of] Gloria Kumagai (Project Director), America's Women Of Color: Integrating Cultural Diversity Into Non-Sex-Biased Curricula, Gretchen M. Bataille
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
This is an extensive project with multiple uses for the classroom teacher or director of a multi-cultural, non-sexist teaching program. Kumagai has drawn on the resources of a number of persons to help write, test, and evaluate the materials included.

Critique [Of Racial Identity Among Mixed Adolescents In Hawaii: A Research Note], Vagn K. Hansen
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Relatively few individuals have the option of choosing an ethnic identity. In most cases that identity is ascribed by parentage or by societal perception. Kinloch's research illuminates both the considerations which may be involved in making a choice of ethnic identity in those persons who have the option and the results of the choice for his sample group.

The author explains in the preface that his book "is written for students preparing for the General Certificate of Education (Advanced Level)" as well as "students in Advanced Teachers' Colleges, Colleges of Education and undergraduates taking courses on Africa or African Studies."
[Review Of] Charles A. Ward, Philip Shashko, And Donald E. Pienkos, Eds., Studies In Ethnicity: The East European Experience In America, Lyle Koehler
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Studies in Ethnicity is a collection of papers read at the conference "Aspects of the East European Experience in Europe and America" held at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, May 4-5, 1979. The editors have arranged the papers under three headings : "Ethnicity and Language Maintenance in America," "Ethnic Social Organization: Secular and Religious Dimensions," and "Ethnic Writers in America."
[Review Of] Amiri Baraka And Amina Baraka, Eds., Confirmation: An Anthology Of African American Women, Richard L. Herrnstadt
[Review Of] Amiri Baraka And Amina Baraka, Eds., Confirmation: An Anthology Of African American Women, Richard L. Herrnstadt
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
In his introduction to Confirmation, Amiri Baraka points out that the anthology is not "intended, in the same way that Black Fire was, to attack the house-negro appropriation of bourgeois aesthetics. Rather the purpose of this volume is to draw attention to the existence and excellence of black women writers." The volume accomplishes that extraordinarily well. Confirmation is a major contribution, for it provides solid illustration of the range of work being produced by an impressive number (an even fifty) of accomplished black women writers.
[Review Of] Zee Edgell, Beka Lamb, Laverne GonzáLez
[Review Of] Zee Edgell, Beka Lamb, Laverne GonzáLez
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Formerly called British Honduras, Belize, an emerging third world country, second smallest in Central America, originally became a part of the British Empire because its coast gave sanctuary to British sailors and pirates. But a thousand years or so before, the land formed a small part of the mighty Mayan civilization. A dozen or more sites-Mayan centers-have been discovered in Belize and have offered up their pyramids and artifacts as silent testimony to the past. Becoming fully self-governing in 1964, the country continues to experience various power struggles; Guatemala claims Belize since, according to its doctrine, a province which successfully …
[Review Of] James Lafayette Glenn, My Work Among The Florida Seminoles, Michael D. Green
[Review Of] James Lafayette Glenn, My Work Among The Florida Seminoles, Michael D. Green
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
James Lafayette Glenn's My Work among the Florida Seminoles is a memoir of his five-year tenure (1931-35) as United States agent to the Seminoles. Written in the mid-1940s as a long letter to his daughter, this document remained unpublished in the manuscript holdings of the Fort Lauderdale Historical Society until it was discovered and edited by Harry A. Kersey, the leading student of recent Seminole history.
[Review Of] Lance Liebman, Ed., Ethnic Relations In America, Russell Endo
[Review Of] Lance Liebman, Ed., Ethnic Relations In America, Russell Endo

[Review Of] Marcienne Rocard, Les Fils Du Soleil: La Minorite; Mexicaine A Travers La Litterature Des Etats Unis, Sergio D. Elizondo
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
The first major work of its kind published in France by an Americanist, Les Fils du Soleil (The Children of the Sun: The Mexican Minority as Seen Through the Literature of the United States) deserves recognition as a historical landmark and French contribution to the study of the Chicano. Its thorough treatment of the subject surpasses in thematic outreach all previously published works.

[Review Of] Arthur Dong (Producer), Sewing Woman, Shawna Lindsey, David Beharry
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Married at thirteen years of age to an unknown husband, and pregnant two months later! How could her parents allow such a horror to happen? Zem Ping Dong would soon understand the Chinese way: to accept fate and do what must be done, regardless of the cost.
[Review Of] Sebastian Clarke, Jah Music: The Evolution Of The Popular Jamaican Song, William S. Cole
[Review Of] Sebastian Clarke, Jah Music: The Evolution Of The Popular Jamaican Song, William S. Cole
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
In Jah Music, Sebastian Clarke has offered a wealth of information on Jamaican popular music especially to this reader who, although a musician and ethnomusicologist, knew very little about the popular music of Jamaica previously. Clarke has provided material on the roots and history of the music: the birth and development of Rastafarianism, then the evolutionary development of Jamaican music, and its three most powerful exponents, Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, and Bunny Wailer. There is also a chapter on the spoken word, which is the key to all African-derived music. Whether articulated by voice or by another instrument, the word …
[Review Of] Leo Kanowitz, Equal Rights: The Male Stake, Lillian H. Jones
[Review Of] Leo Kanowitz, Equal Rights: The Male Stake, Lillian H. Jones
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Although it may be true that the equal rights movement for women will result in freeing both women and men from social and legal restrictions (and, in fact, it may be a rather convincing practical political argument), as a feminist, I find a book that supports these rights for women on the basis of reciprocally increased rights for men suspect. It reminds me of Thomas Jefferson arguing, in Notes on Virginia, against the continuation of slavery because of its debilitating moral effects on owners and their families. Leo Kanowitz, professor of law at the University of California, Hastings College of …
[Review Of] Anne Curtenius Roosevelt And James G. E. Smith, Eds., The Ancestors: Native Artisans Of The Americas, Gretchen M. Bataille
[Review Of] Anne Curtenius Roosevelt And James G. E. Smith, Eds., The Ancestors: Native Artisans Of The Americas, Gretchen M. Bataille
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
The Ancestors: Native Artisans of the Americas is an illustrated catalog produced for a 1979 exhibition of the Museum of the American Indian which had as its purpose the exploration of the interrelationships between the arts and the cultures which produce them. This catlog [catalog] is refreshing in its thoroughness and in the way the artwork is integrated with the text. Exhibition catalogs often begin with a scholarly introduction and follow with hundreds of photographs of museum pieces only briefly identified. By contrast, The Ancestors begins with a series of color plates and follows with seven specific chapters on the …
[Review Of] Ricardo L. Garcia, Teaching In A Pluralistic Society, And Donna M. Gollnick And Philip C. Chinn, Multicultural Education In A Pluralistic Society, Margaret A. Laughlin
[Review Of] Ricardo L. Garcia, Teaching In A Pluralistic Society, And Donna M. Gollnick And Philip C. Chinn, Multicultural Education In A Pluralistic Society, Margaret A. Laughlin
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Americans live in a pluralistic society populated by persons of different ethnic backgrounds, languages, socio-economic levels, and religious beliefs. Within our society other personal characteristics are also evident, e.g., age, sex, physical and mental abilities. Too often value-laden, distorted messages and images are conveyed about those who are not viewed as being members of mainstream America. Prejudice becomes manifest and stereotypic misinformation is used to formulate major decisions affecting the lives of human beings.
