The Cities Do Need Help, Chester Smolski

Smolski Texts

"The lead editorial in the Providence Sunday Journal of December 7, 1986 is completely off the mark and deserves to be answered. The attitude expressed by the writer conveys the specious view that because our nation's cities are not being burned down or torn apart by race riots at the present time then things are not really all that bad in our urban centers."

Successful Women: A Racial Comparison Of Variables Contributing To Socialization And Leadership Development, J. Baraka Love

Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to identify variables that have contributed to the growth and development of successful women and to explore whether those variables were the same for Black and White women by comparing the perceptions and backgrounds of women who have reached top level positions in the fields of education, business, human services, and government.

Data were collected by questionnaires from 547 women respondents out of a sample of 1,500 identified in Who's Who in America (43rd ed., 1985) and Who's Who Among Black Americans (4th ed., 1985). The response rate was 38.4%; 298 (19.9%) were Black …

Seniority And Affirmative Action: The Shadow Of Stotts, Drew S. Days Iii

William Monroe Trotter Institute Publications

The purpose of this paper is to discuss why I think the Reagan administration's avowed commitment to helping only "actual victims" of racial discrimination retards rather than advances the cause of civil rights. I make reference in my title to "seniority" and "the shadow of Stotts" because the current administration is relying upon Supreme Court decisions having to do with seniority, particularly its 1984 opinion in Memphis Firefighters v. Stotts, to justify a wholesale attack upon race-conscious remedies, not only in employment but in education and public contracting as well.

[Review Of] Chinua Achebe And C.L. Innes, Eds. African Short Stories, David K. Bruner

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

From time to time, collections of modern African short stories like the collection here noted should be published in order to keep an increasingly aware readership abreast of articulate literary production. When such collections are prepared, their editors would do well to be led by the general principles expressed by Chinua Achebe in a short, but very cogent, introduction: The indebtedness of modern African writing to its wealth of oral traditions is taken for granted by the editors and they see no necessity to demonstrate the link further by including traditional tales in this collection.

[Review Of] Margaret B. Blackman. During My Time: Florence Edenshaw Davidson, A Haida Woman, Gretchen M. Bataille

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

This book is a recorded autobiography, but it is also much more. In the preface Blackman traces her connections with the Haida people of the Northwest Coast since 1970 and explains her special relationship with Florence Edenshaw Davidson whom she promised in 1973 that she would someday publish the record of her life. Davidson had accepted Margaret Blackman as a grandchild and the special kinship relationship enabled the two of them in 1977 to record the life story of the eighty-one year old Haida woman. Nani, the Haida equivalent for "grandmother," traces through six chapters the significant events of her …

[Review Of] Gill Bottomley And Marie De Lepervanche, Eds. Ethnicity, Class And Gender In Australia, Mary A. Ludwig

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

North American social scientists can benefit from comparing immigration in their own countries to immigration in Australia, another former English colony bordering on the Pacific Ocean. Bottomley and de Lepervanche have assembled a very useful set of theoretical discussions and data-based studies which provide a starting point for such comparisons. The collection focuses on the relationship of immigrants to the institutions and ideologies of the dominant culture in Australia. The underlying perspective is Marxist, although this is not made explicit by every contributor. In addition to a historical review of immigration policies, the authors present critiques of policies and the …

[Review Of] Silvester J. Brito. Looking Through A Squared Off Circle, Theresa E. Mccormick

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Twenty two poems shimmer with irridescence [iridescence] in Looking Through a Squared Off Circle. The interaction of shifting colors and tones in Silvester Brito's poems flood the reader's mind with the bittersweet pain and beauty of the American Indian experience.

[Review Of] Lloyd W. Brown. West Indian Poetry, Laverne GonzáLez

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

From the outset, the reader must be aware of encountering a rarity indeed: a first class scholar who can write objectively and at the same time maintain his involvement with the literature under scrutiny. One would seem to negate the other. But Brown successfully manages each; as a Jamaican, he holds Caribbean literature dear to his literary heart. Yet his claim to scholarship may not be denied, as a perusal of this book will confirm. Brown knows his subject thoroughly, and in scholarly fashion has been able to distance himself sufficiently from the material to present a firm and fair …

[Review Of] Joseph Bruchac, Ed. The Light From Another Country: Poetry From American Prisons, Neal Bowers

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

In recent years, poetry anthologists have strayed from the literary field into the terrain of sociology, where they have collected an odd assortment of scriblings [scribblings]: poems focusing on female athletes, the children of alcoholics, Vietnam War veterans, gays and lesbians, scuba divers, and numerous other ethnic, social, and occupational groups. In fact, the proliferation of such anthologies has been so great that absurdity long ago set in and one expects shortly to see collections devoted to hangnail sufferers and carpet layers.

[Review Of] Charlotte H. Bruner, Ed. Unwinding Threads: Writing By Women In Africa, Virginia Allen

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Looking at the map of Africa locating contributors to this collection of women writers, one is struck by the seeming over-representation from some countries -- Ghana, Algeria, Egypt, Republic of South Africa -- and the vast stretch of lands that have, apparently, produced no female with a story to tell. In her Preface, Charlotte Bruner details some of the obstacles confronting women who defy the traditions of formerly nonliterate societies, where the rigidity and permanence of the written word itself confounds a view of art as something fluid and circumstantial, where community takes precedence over the individual, where the act …
