Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Studies of multi-ethnic literature of the U.S., proposed in "From the Ground Up ..." should be, if they are not already, accepted fields of study in colleges, universities and secondary schools. One would hope that by now, the unique perspective offered by multi-ethnic studies would be appreciated for the insight it offers in understanding the many elements which have created our heritage, history and contemporary "American Society" -- and, by extension, global society as well.

Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Bedrosian presents an interesting discussion on spiritual dismemberment and a series of subjects which are related to this concept.
