We Could Shape It: Organizing For Asian Pacific American Student Empowerment, Peter Nien-Chu Kiang

Institute for Asian American Studies Publications

With the doubling of the school-age population of Asian Pacific Americans during the 1990s, the unmet needs of Asian Pacific Americans are escalating dramatically in schools throughout the country. In most settings, teachers, counselors, and administrators do not share the ethnic, linguistic, and racial backgrounds of their Asian Pacific American students. Constrained by limited resources, an increasingly hostile, anti-immigrant climate, and their own stereotypical assumptions, educators have been unable to respond effectively to the full range of academic, social, and personal challenges that face growing numbers of Asian Pacific American students.

Shelter Poverty: Housing Affordability Among Asian Americans, Michael E. Stone

Institute for Asian American Studies Publications

Relatively little research has been conducted that focuses on the housing situation of Asian and Pacific Islander Americans (hereafter generally referred to as Asian Americans), especially on the national level. From a review of about 30 articles and reports over the past decade that examine racial/ethnic housing situations nationally, only one specifically addressed housing problems of Asian Americans (Hansen, 1986) while two others included Asian Americans along with other populations of color. Of the remaining articles, most used the terms race, racial discrimination, or segregation in their titles, yet did not include Asian Americans in the studies. Of particular note, …

The Struggle For Knowledge: The Case Of Emergent Oromo Studies, Asafa Jalata

Sociology Publications and Other Works

Taking the Oromo as historical actors, the emergent Oromo studies identify some deficiencies of "Ethiopian studies" that primarily focus on the Amhara and Tigray ethnic groups and their rulers, and ignore the history of the Oromo people. Many Ethiopian and Ethiopianist scholars do not recognize the positive cultural achievements of this people.' With their colonization and incorporation into Ethiopia, the Oromo could not develop independent institutions that would allow them to produce and disseminate their historical knowledge freely. Currently, they are fighting for national self-determination: to regain their political freedom and rebuild independent institutions.

The Archaeology Of Thompson Island, Barbara E. Luedtke

Anthropology Faculty Publication Series

This report summarizes the results of a 1993 survey by UMass Boston, and of previous archaeological fieldwork on Thompson Island, Boston, MA, including background research, documentary research, walkover reconnaissance, and subsurface testing with shovel test pits and 1 meter square excavation units. Despite the fact that many parts of the island have not yet been surveyed, twenty prehistoric sites are now known, an unusually high density for the Boston Harbor Islands. Components range in age from Late Archaic through Late Woodland, with Middle Woodland especially well represented. Several large habitation sites with shell middens are known, in addition to numerous …

Educational Reforms: An Afrocentric Critique And New Approaches, Ruth Reviere, Janis Jones-Darrell

Black Student Athletes: Why They Under-Utilize Traditional Outreach Programs And Methods For Increasing Utilization Of Those Programs, Shari Richardson

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules (1996)

Orientation 101 For Student-Athletes, Lisa Brady, Roderick S. Brown

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules (1996)

“Thus, three sections of Orientation 101 are now specifically targeted for incoming student-athletes at-risk, where the term “at-risk” is broadened to include not only high school class rank, but also cultural variables and academic preparedness.”

The African-American Quarterback In Predominantly White Institutions Of Higher Education, William B. Thomas, Kevin J. Moran

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules (1996)

“Our content analyses of football media guides (1989-1994) and of legal decisions opening up the competitive processes in athletic administration offer hope for what seems to be a declining significance of race in intercollegiate football.”

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules (1996)

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules (1996)

“…The sports community must adopt a mandate to seek out, discover, nurture, and develop electronic media professionals and journalists for the 21st century. The boundaries must be removed for people of color and women if we are sincerely committed to diversity in sports, on and off the court.”

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules (1996)

On many campuses, Black students remain a minority. “While their talent and impact on the athletic program has certainly increased…their athletic ability remains their primary mission or ‘perceived’ primary mission on the campus.”

An Orientation To Ease The Transition Of A Minority Student-Athlete, Reginald A. Morton, Michael L. Lindsey

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules (1996)

“How college professors teach, the greater independence required of students, writing skills, and the requirement to male individual and group presentations, may be different from what the minority student athlete experienced in high school.”

Blacks, Basketball, And The Predominately White Institution: The Maafa Continues, Lee P. Jones, Joseph H. Mcmillan

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules (1996)

“Along with the effect of the Maafa, Blacks have been programmed to accept only dehumanizing instance that gives the illusion of freedom, fame, and fortune. One such illusion is college athletics.”
