[Review Of] E. San Juan, Jr. Beyond Post Colonial Theory, Linda Delgado Jan 1998

[Review Of] E. San Juan, Jr. Beyond Post Colonial Theory, Linda Delgado

Ethnic Studies Review

This is an important book for many reasons. Much like Michael Omi and Howard Winants' Racial Formation in the United States and San Juan's previous book Articulations of Power in Ethnic and Racial Studies in the US, this latest enterprise captures much of the drama and trauma that inequality of power produces when race, ethnicity and class are knotted at its core.

[Review Of] E. San Juan, Jr. From Exile To Diaspora: Versions Of The Filipino Experience In The U.S., M.L. (Tony) Miranda Jan 1998

[Review Of] E. San Juan, Jr. From Exile To Diaspora: Versions Of The Filipino Experience In The U.S., M.L. (Tony) Miranda

Ethnic Studies Review

The author has written an excellent summary of the little known events in Filipino history in the Philippines and the history of the Filipino community in the U.S., a history of over four hundred years that covers the colonial oppression, and resistance first to Spain and then the United States. He attributes the fractured Filipino identity, one that is "fissured by ambivalence, opportunism, and schizoid loyalties," to the colonial experiences under these two western European powers. In his brilliant analysis of the literature he uses a historical materialist theoretical framework (22).

Afrocentric Ideologies And Gendered Resistance In Daughters Of The Dust And Malcolm X: Setting, Scene, And Spectatorship, David Jones Jan 1998

Afrocentric Ideologies And Gendered Resistance In Daughters Of The Dust And Malcolm X: Setting, Scene, And Spectatorship, David Jones

Ethnic Studies Review

This study of scenes from the films Daughters of the Dust and Malcolm X, describes images of myth, gender, and resistance familiar to African-American interpretive communities. Key thematic and technical elements of these films are opposed to familiar Hollywood practices, indicating the directors' effort to address resisting spectators. Both filmmakers, Julie Dash and Spike Lee respectively, chose subjects with an ideological resonance in African-American collective memory: Malcolm X, eulogized by Ossie Davis as "our living black manhood"(i) and the women of the Gullah Sea Islands, a site often celebrated for its authentically African cultural survivals. Both films combine images of …

[Review Of] David Delaney. Race, Place, & The Law, David L. Hood Jan 1998

[Review Of] David Delaney. Race, Place, & The Law, David L. Hood

Ethnic Studies Review

David Delaney's work is informative and contributes to an understanding of race relations and the legal system. The central finding is that race relations exist in different spatial contexts at the same time. The author begins with the case Commonwealth v. Aves, 18 Pick. 193 (1836) which focuses on a young slave girl, "Med" and her freedom. The cause of action involved the movement of the servant girl to Massachusetts by her Louisiana master. The master was visiting relatives. Under Louisiana law Med was a slave, but Massachusetts law did not permit slavery.

[Review Of] Stanley Nelson (Producer And Director). The Black Press: Soldiers Without Swords, George Junne Jan 1998

[Review Of] Stanley Nelson (Producer And Director). The Black Press: Soldiers Without Swords, George Junne

Ethnic Studies Review

One of the most important institutions established in African American communities has been the "Black Press." It is also an institution that has not received much of the attention it deserves. The Black Press today still consists of approximately 100 newspapers carrying on the tradition of the first Black newspaper, Freedom's Journal (1827). After recently compiling a bibliography on Blacks in the U.S. West, it became obvious that whenever and wherever a Black community became established, Black newspapers immediately emerged. For example, Colorado had over one hundred, California more than twice that number, and Iowa over forty. States such as …

[Review Of] Lavina Dhingra Shankar And Rajini Srikanth. A Part Yet Apart: South Asians In Asian America, Kasturi Dasgupta Jan 1998

[Review Of] Lavina Dhingra Shankar And Rajini Srikanth. A Part Yet Apart: South Asians In Asian America, Kasturi Dasgupta

Ethnic Studies Review

In their introduction to this stimulating collection of Asian American voices, editors Lavina Dhingra Shankar and Rajini Srikanth describe "A Part Yet Apart: South Asians in Asian America," as an "exploration" of the ways in which South Asian Americans from India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives, do or do not "fit" into the popular, academic, and activist consciousness associated with the Asian American Identity which has traditionally embraced immigrants from countries hugging the Pacific rim - China, Taiwan, the Koreas, Japan, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Philippines. The essays in the book debate what constitutes the gap, …

[Review Of] Crawford Young. Ethnic Diversity And Public Policy: A Comparative Inquiry, Kasturi Dasgupta Jan 1998

[Review Of] Crawford Young. Ethnic Diversity And Public Policy: A Comparative Inquiry, Kasturi Dasgupta

Ethnic Studies Review

As we come to the end of the millennium, contrary to the more democratic and progressive aspirations of earlier decades, ethnicity continues to define political and social alliances in the struggle for power and survival. Ethnic Diversity and Public Policy, edited by Crawford Young, is a timely collection of articles which address key policies growing out of the paramount need facing nations to deal with this primordial yet potent reality. The articles follow the basic premise underscored by Young -- that ethnic crises reflect "profound failures of statecraft" and that "the state remains the ineluctable locus of policy response," Accordingly, …

[Review Of] T. M. Singelis, Ed. Teaching About Culture, Ethnicity, And Diversity: Exercises And Planned Activities, Beate Baltes Jan 1998

[Review Of] T. M. Singelis, Ed. Teaching About Culture, Ethnicity, And Diversity: Exercises And Planned Activities, Beate Baltes

Ethnic Studies Review

Professors and students of teacher education can always appreciate theoretical discussions of multicultural education in books and journal articles. Even more useful are concrete examples such as the multicultural lesson plans in Sleeter's Turning on Learning (1998) and the case studiesin Nieto's Affirming Diversity (2000). Teacher-credential students find the lesson plans illustrative and relate to the students' stories in the case studies. Singelis' book Teaching about Culture, Ethnicity, and Diversity goes a step further in providing professors and students with experiences and hands-on activities that should help to enhance the sensitivity of teacher-credential students towards cross-cultural differences and help them …

A Historical Perspective On The Development Of An Ethnic Minority Consciousness In The Spanish-Language Press Of The Southwest, Nicolás Kanellos Jan 1998

A Historical Perspective On The Development Of An Ethnic Minority Consciousness In The Spanish-Language Press Of The Southwest, Nicolás Kanellos

Ethnic Studies Review

Various scholars have treated ethnic newspapers in the United States as if they all have evolved from an immigrant press.(i) While one may accept their analysis of the functions of the ethnic press, there is a substantial and qualitative difference between newspapers that were built on an immigration base and those that developed from the experience of colonialism and racial oppression. Hispanics were subjected to "racialization"(ii) for more than a century through such doctrines as the Spanish Black Legend and Manifest Destiny during the nineteenth and early twentieth century. They were conquered and incorporated into the United States and then …

"Not Another Multicultural Workshop" (Sigh): Why Teachers Feel Intimidated By More And More Workshops In Multicultural Education, Beate Baltes

Ethnic Studies Review

Many educators consider themselves sensitive to diversity issues in one way or another. However, it is not uncommon for some teachers to feel intimidated by more and more staff development programs in multicultural education that they are urged or compelled to attend. This article suggests ways in which multicultural education workshops could be made meaningful for them.

[Review Of] Lean'tin L. Bracks. Writings On Black Women Of The Diaspora: History, Language, And Identity. Crosscurrents In African American History, Vol I, Helen Lock Jan 1998

[Review Of] Lean'tin L. Bracks. Writings On Black Women Of The Diaspora: History, Language, And Identity. Crosscurrents In African American History, Vol I, Helen Lock

Ethnic Studies Review

In her "Preface" to this study, Lean'tin Bracks describes her purpose as being "to describe a model which may provide for today's black woman a means to take control of her destiny by retrieving her Afrocentric legacy from the obscured past" (xi). This model, which she applies through discussions of The History of Mary Prince, a West Indian Slave, Related by Herself (1831), Toni Morrison's Beloved (1988), Alice Walker's The Color Purple (1982, and Paule Marshall's Praisesong for the Widow (1984), is tripartite: "historical awareness, attention to linguistic pattern, and sensitivity to stereotypes in the dominant culture" (xi).

Sports And The Politics Of Identity And Memory: The Case Of Federal Indian Boarding Schools During The 1930s, John Bloom Jan 1998

Sports And The Politics Of Identity And Memory: The Case Of Federal Indian Boarding Schools During The 1930s, John Bloom

Ethnic Studies Review

The federal government of the United States developed a complex System of boarding schools for Native Americans in the 19(th) century. This effort was generally insensitive and often brutal. In spite of such brutality many students managed to negotiate and create new understandings of traditions and cultural autonomy while in such schools. Now, however, some former students remember their lives as students with mixed emotions. Drawing on oral history interviews and public official documents, the author examines the recreational and athletic life at the boarding schools and finds that students were, nevertheless, able to experience pleasure and pride in creating …

[Review Of] Ray Allen And Lois Wilken, Island Sounds In The Global City: Caribbean Popular Music And Identity In New York, Kenneth Dossar Jan 1998

[Review Of] Ray Allen And Lois Wilken, Island Sounds In The Global City: Caribbean Popular Music And Identity In New York, Kenneth Dossar

Ethnic Studies Review

In putting together Island Sounds in the Global City: Caribbean Popular Music and Identity in New York, editors Ray Allen and Lois Wilcken were undaunted by the enormity of their tasks of contextualizing and capsulizing the breadth of Latin American and Caribbean popular music, and exploring the complex nexus between these musics and ethnic identity in New York City. By eliding these tasks the editors facilitated their work.

[Review Of] Ramsay Burt. Alien Bodies: Representations Of Modernity, Race, And Nation In Early Modern Dance, Joanne F. Henry

Ethnic Studies Review

In Alien Bodies, Burt uses interdisciplinary methods to consider the issues of modernity and modernism in relation to the work of several makers of early modern dance. In nine chapters, he carefully examines the social constructions of nation, race, class, and gender as they were inscribed upon the dancing body. The Atlantic is the space and the period between the two great wars the time of this book's focus.

[Review Of] Henry (Yoshitaka) Kiyama. The Four Immigrants Manga: A Japanese Experience In San Francisco, 1904-1924, Translated By Frederik L. Schadt, Nobuko Adachi Jan 1998

[Review Of] Henry (Yoshitaka) Kiyama. The Four Immigrants Manga: A Japanese Experience In San Francisco, 1904-1924, Translated By Frederik L. Schadt, Nobuko Adachi

Ethnic Studies Review

This historically important document is a translation of a humorous comic book published in 1931 based on the experiences of the author, Henry (Yoshitaka) Kiyama, as he immigrated to the United States. Kiyama crossed the ocean from Japan to study art in San Francisco in 1904, at the age of nineteen. Upon his arrival he worked as a house servant during the day and went to school at night. It is not well known here, but until the Second World War a large number of Japanese immigrants came to mainland America with student visas rather than work permits; many of …

[Review Of] Tracy Mishkin. The Harlem And Irish Renaissances: Language, Identity, And Representation, Jennifer Schulz Jan 1998

[Review Of] Tracy Mishkin. The Harlem And Irish Renaissances: Language, Identity, And Representation, Jennifer Schulz

Ethnic Studies Review

The very title of Tracy Mishkin's The Harlem and Irish Renaissances: Language, Identity, and Representation would fill any scholar of either movement with skepticism. To draw parallels among turn of the century Anglo-Irish writers' efforts to represent and revitalize the identity and language of Irish culture (which must take into account the often divergent political and social interests of myriad groups: Gaelic nationalists and Catholic-Irish peasantry, just to name two) with early twentieth-century African American and black immigrant intellectuals' self-conscious construction of a race capital and cultural movement in the midst of Jim Crow legislation and renewed vehemence of nativist …

[Review Of] John W. Ravage. Black Pioneers: Images Of The Black Experiences On The North American Frontier, Nudie Eugene Williams Jan 1998

[Review Of] John W. Ravage. Black Pioneers: Images Of The Black Experiences On The North American Frontier, Nudie Eugene Williams

Ethnic Studies Review

This scholarly study is a welcome effort to broaden the horizon of what many Americans have come to believe are the true westering experiences. It began with the early western images created in dime store novels and brought to life on the movie screen. The featured settlers, cowboys, outlaws, and other heroes were generally white. In this scenario, the frontier was tamed by strong willed white men while the role of African Americans in the "western United States and Canada and Alaska" was largely ignored (xv).

[Review Of] Magdalena J. Zaborowska, Ed. Other Americans, Other Americas: The Politics And Poetics Of Multiculturalism, Phillipa Kafka Jan 1998

[Review Of] Magdalena J. Zaborowska, Ed. Other Americans, Other Americas: The Politics And Poetics Of Multiculturalism, Phillipa Kafka

Ethnic Studies Review

The editor of this text, Magdalene J. Zaborowska of Aarhus University, is a respected feminist specialist in ethnic American studies. In her introduction she provides readers with an admirably concise overview of the history of the multicultural movement and the current state of the recent multicultural wars over curriculum, literature, and the canon in the United States. Zaborowska chose the essays in this anthology because they focus on the multicultural reality that always has existed in the United States rather than on monolithic "essentialist representations of history and national identity" characteristic of previous American literary history.

Questioning The Admissibility Of Nonscientific Testimony After Daubert: The Need For Increased Judicial Gatekeeping To Ensure The Reliability Of All Expert Testimony, Kristina L. Needham

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This article examines the difficulty of finding a proper standard for evaluating non-scientific expert testimony. It analyzes the legal standard for the admission of expert testimony as set out in the Federal Rule of Evidence and the Daubert case. It reviews a split in courts as to how to apply these standards to non-scientific expert testimony. It ends with some proposals for the application of Daubert to non-scientific expert testimony and suggests an amendment to the Federal Rules of evidence.

To Remember, Repent, Renew, David L. Coppola

Philosophy, Theology and Religious Studies Faculty Publications

The National Catholic Educational Association (1998) reports that 13.6% or 359,146, of all students in Catholic elementary, middle, and secondary schools are non-Catholic, manifesting the importance of educating Catholic school students to understand and appreciate the diversity of cultures and religions other than their own. This article examines some ways that Catholic schools can educate students about the Jewish Holocaust, or Shoah, and through its study embrace a truly Catholic approach.
