The Papers Of Andrew Jackson: Volume I, 1770-1803, Andrew Jackson

The Papers of Andrew Jackson

Andrew Jackson, seventh president of the United States, is an American folk hero. His strong personality and natural gift for leadership contributed to his wide influence throughout his lifetime. Jackson was known to be quarrelsome, honest, loyal, and self-willed, and the examination of his early years as documented in this volume provides insight into his career before he became a military and national hero.

During these years Jackson developed into a local and statewide leader of importance. His career as an attorney prospered and he became successively a member of the Tennessee Constitutional Convention, the first congressman from Tennessee, and …

Jacksonville, An Energy Efficient City?, Jacksonville Community Council, Inc.

Jacksonville Community Council, Inc.

In the fall of 1979 the Energy Study Committee received its charge: "Moving Toward an Energy Efficient Jacksonville- how should Jacksonville approach this problem?" This report examines the energy situation to ascertain whether crisis conditions really exist. In the broadest terms, this means a close look at two things: supplies and consumption. The report is limited to the examination of the availability and consumption of oil in both the nation and Jacksonville in the short term (the next 5 years), and in the long term (the next 20 years), for the fueling of the transportation system and for the generation …

Women's Liberation: Is It Smashing The Hothouse?, Wendy Tarnoff

Honors Papers

Since this paper has concentrated on the cultural and societal influences on women's roles, and how these affect their criminal behavior, these variables rather than exclusively economic ones, will be presented now in relatively economic homogeneous contexts. The remaining discussion will, therefore, compare the patterns and trends of female criminal behavior in England-Wales and Japan with those in the United States. A final note will be made on some research done by Safilios-Rothschild in Greece concerning socio-cultural changes which have occurred in Greece, and how they have affected the commission of "honor crimes."

Uses Of Wild Plants In Ndumba, Eastern Highlands Province, Terence E. Hays

Faculty Publications

For Papua New Guineans,l as well as for those who wish to understand them better, traiditional knowledge of the local natural environment is a priceless resource. In the face of increasing commitments to a cash economy, however, many communities are rapidly losing their awareness and appreciation of the rich animal and plant worlds which are immediately available to them. As Powell has recently observed (1976), the recorded information regarding traditional plant knowledge and uses has tended to be widely-scattered in the literature and relatively difficult to access, especially for those who stand to benefit the most from it. A recent …

Guest Editorial, Barbara Hiura

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

The National Association of Interdisciplinary Ethnic Studies (NAIES) is an organization dedicated towards finding solutions to some of the "Ethnic" problems which plague U.S. society. Some of these solutions are found when people from a variety of cultural, ethnic, and environmental backgrounds are brought together to communicate and discuss germinal ideas. To this end, the NAIES, in the recent past, has set up regional conferences in various parts of the United States. These regional conferences are a microcosm of the national conference. The regional conferences follow similar guidelines as set up for the national conferences. I attended one of these …

Critique [Of Concept Of Shame And The Mental Health Of Pacific Asian Americans], Helen Maclam

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Masayuki Sato's article Concept of Shame and the Mental Health of Pacific Asian Americans serves the vital function of raising issues as the necessary first step in seeking answers. Sato has convincingly related some attributes of Pacific Asian Americans (eg., high scholastic achievement, low utilization of mental health services and underemployment) to the need to avoid shame or "save face."

Critique [Of Back To The Basics: A New Challenge For The Black Church], Charles C. Irby

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Back to the Basics... is a provocative presentation which focuses on the role of the Black church as a socio—cultural, politico-economic institution in an historic context. Not focused in Williams' paper are the spiritual, religious aspects of the Black church, but the solutions proposed certainly lead toward a liberation theology. Williams' primary focus is on how the Black church, in a modern context, has drifted away from its original raison d'etre, and he attempts to show what can be done to restore the Black church, as an agent or institution for the people, to a position which serves the people.

Racism And The Helping Process, Susan Reid

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

The issues addressed in this paper relate to racism within the helping process. We will base our discussion on the premise that racism is an illness and should be regarded as such wherever it emerges in the helping process, whether or not this relates directly to the client's reasons for seeking help. The discussion will also be based on the converse, i.e. that concerns of clients about race relations, their interest in establishing positive interracial relationships or in effecting change on some level, should be regarded as healthy and positive, not as "symptomatic" of hidden pathology.

[Review Of] Russell W. Fridley. Historic Resources In Minnesota: A Report On Their Extent, Location, And Need For Preservation, Christian K. Skjervold

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

It is extremely difficult to review in any kind of a literary way a book which makes no pretense at being a literary work. Historic Resources is a report and a resource listing of what does exist. In addition to “what is” there are well thought out recommendations for what should be. The report deals with five broad areas of concern--Historical Organization and Museum Artifacts, Newspapers, Manuscripts, Historic Structures, and Archaeological Sites--which are and have been influenced by the work of the Minnesota Historical Society. In each of the sections there is a broad outline rationale for the existence of …

[Review Of] Toni Morrison. Song Of Solomon: The Flight Of Afro-American Life, Curtiss E. Porter

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Song of Solomon can only be viewed as a tribute to the artistic and cultural genius of Ms. Toni Morrison. I, as reviewer and want-to-be-rich writer, am studious and intent throughout my reading of her novel. I am amazed, gratified and satisfied. I am fully amazed that she pulls it through; this wealth of characterization and plot. This is a novel of growing into manhood. It is at once the tale of man-to-man relationships and man-to-woman relationships in the Afro-American community where there is an essential struggle simply to be: There is in Song of Solomon mystery, romance and intrigue. …

[Review Of] John U. Ogbu. Minority Education And Caste: The American System In Cross-Cultural Perspective, V. Thomas Samuel

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

In this comprehensive and well documented study on the minority education in America, Ogbu approaches the question of poor minority performance in school from a different but a powerful crosscultural perspective. His major hypothesis is that lower school performance on the part of blacks is an adaptation to their social and occupational positions in adult life, which do not require high educational qualifications (p. 213). The dominant white caste maintains the adaptation by providing blacks with inferior jobs. The adaptation is also maintained by certain structural and cultural features of the black environment which have evolved under the caste system. …

[Review Of] William P. French, Michel J. Febre, Amritjit Singh, And GenevièVe E. Fabre (Eds). Afro-American Poetry And Drama, 1760-1975: A Guide To Information Sources, James L. Gray

This bibliographic guide is actually two guides in one volume, both of them quite useful to the student of Afro-American writing. Black writers have often published their work themselves or in limited editions through small and relatively unknown presses.

[Review Of] Gerald Vizenor. Wordarrows: Indians And Whites In The New Fur Trade, Marcia J. Galii

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

It was George Orwell who saw, more clearly than most, that “newspeak” was often used by government and public institutions in communicating with their public. He warned that such jargon would separate government from the governed.

[Review Of] Jesse Green, Ed. ZuñI: Selected Writings Of Frank Hamilton Cushing, Elmer R. Rusco

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Jesse Green, a professor of English at Chicago State University, has brought together in this volume, with appropriate explanatory materials, selections from the published and unpublished writings of Frank Hamilton Cushing. The collection deals with several things: autobiographical materials (about 120 pages); description of Zuñi life and beliefs (about 220 pages); and materials about the relation between Zuñi and White America (much of the autobiographical section, a brief description of visits to the East by several Zuñi, most of the brief foreword by anthropologist Fred Eggan, and much of Green’s more than 60 pages of introductions.) The volume is handsomely …

[Review Of] Julian Samora, Joe Bernal, Albert PeñA. Gunpowder Justice: A Reassessment Of The Texas Rangers, Louis Sarabia

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Gunpowder Justice: A Reassessment of the Texas Rangers is an undertaking which has long been overdue. However, in this volume by Julian Samora, Joe Bernal, and Albert Peña, the expectations outweigh the realities.
