This essay is a description of some of an ethnic group’s symbols of identity”, its aim is to explore the meanings of the following statement: [Byzantine Catholics] are no longer an immigrant and ethnic group. Byzantine Catholics are American in every sense of the word, that the rite itself is American as opposed to foreign, and that both the rite and its adherents have become part and parcel of the American scene.”

[Review Of] Walter Dyke And Ruth Dyk, Eds., Left Handed: A Navajo Autobiography, Andrew Wiget Jan 1982

[Review Of] Walter Dyke And Ruth Dyk, Eds., Left Handed: A Navajo Autobiography, Andrew Wiget

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

When Walter Dyk published Son of Old Man Hat in 1938, he introduced most of the world to a remarkable youth: Left Handed of the Bitahni clan, adopted son of Old Man Hat. That classic anthropological autobiography was the story of a child, born before his time, who grew to be a humorous, sensitive and observant young man. Left Handed dictated this story, which he concluded with his marriage, almost a half a century after most of the events had occurred. Following the Second World War, Dyk returned to the Navajo Reservation for the rest of the story and found …

[Review Of] Anne Wortham, The Other Side Of Racism: A Philosophical Study Of Black Race Consciousness, Ramond L. Hall

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

The author, "a freelance writer, editor, and broadcast researcher .... (presently) a doctoral candidate in sociology at Boston College," proposes to study blacks who advocate black consciousness. Wortham condemns ethnic or racial consciousness, and therefore characterizes "the other side of racism " as "a dilemma of individual self-esteem as opposed to problems of group conflict in race relations."

Participant Observer As Critic, Robin R. Alexander Jan 1982

Participant Observer As Critic, Robin R. Alexander

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

Participant observation is a term used to denote a group of research techniques which anthropologists, sociologists, other social scientists, and in this case, critics, use to collect data in natural settings. By critics, I mean educational critics who utilize the paradigm of aesthetic criticism in their evaluation of education situations. From the several appropriate techniques for gathering data for educational evaluations, many educational critics choose participant observation techniques. This paper centers on 1) the similarities and differences between critics' and other researchers' use of participant observation techniques and 2) the differences between their research products.

[Review Of] Ellease Sutherland, Let The Lion Eat Straw, Janet Cheatham Bell Jan 1981

[Review Of] Ellease Sutherland, Let The Lion Eat Straw, Janet Cheatham Bell

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

This novella covers the life of Abeba Williams Torch from her childhood in North Carolina to her death at a fairly young age in Harlem. The potential for a fully realized novel is everywhere in this book, but because the author chose not to include the detail which would make it so, the effect is unsatisfying.

[Review Of] Jane B. Katz (Ed.), This Song Remembers: Self-Portraits Of Native Americans In The Arts, Gretchen M. Bataille

[Review Of] David W. Baird, The Quapaw Indians: A History Of The Downstream People, David R. Mcdonald Jan 1981

[Review Of] David W. Baird, The Quapaw Indians: A History Of The Downstream People, David R. Mcdonald

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Baird, in a highly engaging book, examines the history of a little known Indian tribe. Originally inhabitants of the Ohio Valley, the Quapaws, by 1973, had migrated to the area around the Arkansas and Mississippi Rivers where they were first encountered by the French. Considered important allies by the French and later the Spanish, the Quapaws served as a buffer against the British and British-allied Indians. The results of contacts with Europeans, however, were soon felt by the Quapaws; by 1763 their population had dropped to seven hundred from an estimated six to fifteen thousand in 1682.

[Review Of] Evelyn Gross Avery, Rebels And Victims: The Fiction Of Richard Wright And Bernard Malamud, Edith Blicksilver Jan 1981

[Review Of] Evelyn Gross Avery, Rebels And Victims: The Fiction Of Richard Wright And Bernard Malamud, Edith Blicksilver

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Evelyn Gross Avery's comparison of Richard Wright's works and themes with those of Bernard Malamud asserts that a clear pattern of behavior is discernible in both Afro-American and Jewish-American fiction. Both black and Jew, facing a hostile Anglo-power society, psychologically and sometimes even physically abused, emerged as rebels striking out at exploitation and injustice or as victims, internalizing their frustrated anguish.
