[Review Of] Sabine R. Ulibarri. El Condor And Other Stories, Carl R. Shirley
[Review Of] Sabine R. Ulibarri. El Condor And Other Stories, Carl R. Shirley
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
This volume continues in the same vein as Governor Glu Glu, but Ulibarri here delves even more deeply into the world of fantasy. Many of the eleven stories in El Condor are like sugar-coated medicine: the sweetness prepares the reader for the lesson which comes in the form of a moral at the end. "The Man Who Didn't Eat," for example, is a tale of the scientific creation of a man who is vegetable Frankenstein's monster, with parts taken from many plants. The creature in Ulibarri's story is benevolent; as a result of his superhuman effort to save his neighbors …

[Review Of] Sid White And S. E. Solberg, Eds. Peoples Of Washington: Perspectives On Cultural Diversity, Phillips G. Davies
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
This book about the various ethnic people in the state is disappointing in two ways: its format, and its very limited material about some of the groups who have been and are living in the state.

[Review Of] Carolyn Gilman And Mary Jane Schneider. The Way To Independence: Memories Of A Hidatsa Indian Family, 1840-1920, Paivi H. Hoikkala
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
In the early 1800s, when Lewis and Clark visited the Hidatsas, they lived at the mouth of the Knife River with their close allies the Mandans. The estimated 2,000 Hidatsas farmed the fertile valleys and lived in villages overlooking the river. But in 1837, smallpox struck these village dwellers and diminished their numbers by half. The remainder of Hidatsas and Mandans decided to leave their homes and journey north, settling in Like-a-Fishhook village. In 1885, the Hidatsas moved again, this time settling in Independence, North Dakota.
[Review Of] Nash Candelaria. The Day The Cisco Kid Shot John Wayne, Carl R. Shirley
[Review Of] Nash Candelaria. The Day The Cisco Kid Shot John Wayne, Carl R. Shirley
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Although Nash Candelaria has published quite a few short stories, it is in the field of the novel where his most outstanding contributions lie. Memories of the Alhambra (1977), Not by the Sword (1982), and Inheritance of Strangers (1985) form an historical trilogy of New Mexico that expresses the conflicts inherent in a society that is largely defined in terms of conquest. The first work takes a disturbing look at a "New" Mexican who wants to believe he is Spanish, while the other two depict the resiliency of the culture in crisis of the first book.
The Monster In Our House: Racial Incidents On College Campuses, Farrell J. Webb
The Monster In Our House: Racial Incidents On College Campuses, Farrell J. Webb
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Reports of racial incidents on college campuses have risen dramatically in the past four years. Data from recent surveys indicate that minority students, specifically blacks, will experience some form of discrimination during their academic careers.[1] Recent data from other studies reveal that racial and ethnic violence has occurred on at least 70 U.S. college campuses.[2] Efforts to assert one racial/ethnic group over another have often created social conflicts. These social disagreements may take several forms, usually imitating behavior outside of school: shouting discriminatory remarks or becoming physically aggressive or violent.
The University As A Pluralistic System: The Case Of Minority Faculty Recruitment And Retention, Albert Ramirez
The University As A Pluralistic System: The Case Of Minority Faculty Recruitment And Retention, Albert Ramirez
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Recently there has been considerable emphasis placed in higher education on the recruitment and retention of minority faculty. There is an expanding literature indicating the problems relating to the inadequate pool of such faculty and strategies and approaches related to effective recruitment and retention.[1] It is apparent that there is considerable interest in this area. Given the predicted demographic patterns and characteristics in the population during the remainder of this century, it is understandable that colleges and universities are pursuing a more diverse faculty. The recruitment and retention of minority faculty, however, is only one component -- though a critically …
Critiques [Of "Black" Or "African American"; What's In A Name? By Johnny Washington], Ashton Wesley Welch
Critiques [Of "Black" Or "African American"; What's In A Name? By Johnny Washington], Ashton Wesley Welch
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
In "'Black' or 'African American': What's in a Name?" Johnny Washington reminds us that on the appropriate name for Americans of African descent has been ongoing, with varying degrees of intensity, for a long time. In illustrating the ancientness of the debate, he referred to precedents of the current irruption. He observed that "Booker T. Washington advanced the ethnic identity debate" in the 1890s. He also pointed to twentieth century contributions to the labelling crisis by W. E. B. DuBois, Marcus Garvey, Alain Locke, and Stokely Carmichael. Yet, neither the debate nor the labels themselves are the core concern for …

Racism On Campus: An Exploratory Analysis Of Black-White Perceptions In The South, Phyllis G. Ray, Adolph Simmons Jr.
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Racism has been a persistent problem in American society. Sociologists refer to racism as unfair treatment of an individual or a group solely on the basis of race.[1] It may be covert or overt, and it may be expressed on an individual level when a person consciously or unconsciously discriminates against another person. Racism may also be expressed on an institutional level, when rules, policies and practices of organizations and/or institutions discriminate against an individual or a group.[2]
Critique [Of "What Shall I Give My Children?" The Role Of The Mentor In Gloria Naylor's The Women Of Brewster Place And Paule Marshall's Praisesong For The Widow By Linda Wells], Suzanne Stutman
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
In her article "'What Shall I Give My Children?': The Role of the Mentor in Gloria Naylor's The Women of Brewster Place and Paule Marshall's Praisesong for the Widow," Wells focuses upon the woman's role as mentor in various works of modem African American women writers. In using Gwendolyn Brooks' poem as the cornerstone of her study, she establishes the sense of anguish and frustration faced by the mother who seeks to give to her children a sense of worth and self-esteem in a society which automatically disenfranchises them. She poses an important question -- one that goes beyond the …

College Students' Attitudes On Neighborhood Integration: From The Classroom To The Community And Back Again, Robin P. Clair, Michael J. Mcgoun
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
I grew up in an all white suburb, well, almost all white. There were two black families that literally lived on the wrong side of the tracks. Two large run-down old houses sat within five feet of the rumbling trains. Sometimes my family drove past those houses in our old station wagon. On days that our drive was interrupted by a crossing train, I would watch the barefoot black children playing by the street. I never thought of our suburb as being segregated, at least not until I was in high school.

Critique [Of Thinking Woman's Children And The Bomb By Helen Jaskoski], G. Lynn Nelson
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
These days, most literary criticism, like the world view that spawned it, is obsolete, a luxury we can no longer afford. Too much of it is esoteric, egotistical, and trivial. While the world balances on the edge of annihilation, we count semicolons on our computers.

For the third year in a row, Conference participants were greeted with snow and ice; however, the chilly weather was not indicative of the warmth generated in sessions and special events planned by Conference organizers Larry Estrada and Jeannie Ortega. The theme, "Ethnicity, Justice, and the National Experience," was addressed by plenary session speakers Tom Romero and Dana Sims. Ray Rodrigues and Keith Miser presented a model for dealing with diversity on campus with the "Colorado State University Perspective on Diversity. "Orage Quarles III, president and publisher of the Fort ColIins Coloradan, eloquently addressed participants at the banquet with his …
[Review Of] Clara E. Rodriguez. Puerto Ricans Born In The U.S.A, Jesse M. Vazquez
[Review Of] Clara E. Rodriguez. Puerto Ricans Born In The U.S.A, Jesse M. Vazquez
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
It may be apocryphal by now, but it has often been said, and it is repeated again by Rodriguez in her most recent contribution to the literature that "Puerto Ricans still hold the dubious distinction of being among the most researched and least understood people in the United States, if not the world. "Rodriguez's use of the existing voluminous literature on the Puerto Rican experience certainly reinforces this widely held belief. Puerto Ricans are the second largest Latino ethnic group in the United States, and in New York City one out of every eight people is Puerto Rican. This is …

[Review Of] Guadalupe San Miguel, Jr. "Let All Of Them Take Heed": Mexican Americans And The Campaign For Educational Equality In Texas, 1910-1981, Carlos F. Ortega
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
It is well known among educational researchers that pervasive segregation of blacks and underepresentation [underrepresentation] of Mexican Americans in higher education continues to this day, although these practices and policies violate federal law. A recent study by the Tomas Rivera Center for Policy Studies found that the state of Texas failed during the five years of its Equal Educational Opportunity Plan for Higher Education to eliminate the disparities in its system and improve the educational experiences of minorities. The structural dimensions of educational policy have a long and tumultuous history. Moreover, the notion that Mexican American parents care little for …

[Review Of] Cary D. Wintz. Black Culture And The Harlem Renaissance, John C. Walter
[Review Of] Cary D. Wintz. Black Culture And The Harlem Renaissance, John C. Walter
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
In 1925 Professor Alain Locke argued in The New Negro that the Negro was "moving forward under the control largely of his own objectives ..." which were "none other than the ideals of American institutions and democracy." This allowed for blacks everywhere to be called "New Negroes" but nowhere were there as many New Negroes as in Harlem. The activities of these people in politics, arts, literature, music and the like between World War I and the Depression Era came to be called the Harlem Renaissance.

[Review Of] Beth Brant, Ed. A Gathering Of Spirit: A Collection By North American Indian Women, Paivi H. Hoikkala
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
In A Gathering of Spirit, Beth Brant has collected poetry, short stories, letters, and essays written by Native American women, relating their experiences of life in Canada and in the United States. The participating women come from all walks of life. Included are such established authors and scholars as Paula Gunn Allen, Joy Harjo, and Bea Medicine as well as women in prisons, lesbians, and those who live their everyday life on reservations or in urban centers. What unites these women are their experiences as Indian women.
[Review Of] Marion Wilson Starling. The Slave Narrative: Its Place In American History, Angelo Costanzo
[Review Of] Marion Wilson Starling. The Slave Narrative: Its Place In American History, Angelo Costanzo
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
This is another reprint of Marion Wilson Starling's breakthrough study of the slave narrative, which she undertook for her Ph.D. dissertation at New York University in 1946 under the advisorship of Oscar Cargill. During the 1960s and 1970s when slave autobiography became a serious critical endeavor, many scholars referred to Starling's thorough historical and literary research; however, her dissertation was not published until 1981. Then, Starling's work became more readily available, and now the paperback edition allows this well-deserved book to reach a wider audience.
[Review Of] Lois Weis, Ed. Class, Race, & Gender In American Education, Margaret A. Laughlin
[Review Of] Lois Weis, Ed. Class, Race, & Gender In American Education, Margaret A. Laughlin
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Class, Race & Gender in American Education should be read by preservice and experienced educators and social scientists who are interested in teaching young people who come from different socioeconomic backgrounds, represent various racial and ethnic heritages, and those with special needs. School as a major socializing institution often holds the key for many students. It is also important to study the ways individuals and groups prepare for the future. Some students are successful in school settings, but many become discouraged and are pushed out due to the structure and/or culture of the school. This volume seeks to enrich this …
[Review Of] Roger Daniels. Asian America: Chinese And Japanese In The United States Since 1850, Russell Endo
[Review Of] Roger Daniels. Asian America: Chinese And Japanese In The United States Since 1850, Russell Endo
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Roger Daniels is one of the premier scholars of Asian American history and has previously done pathbreaking research on the anti-Japanese movement in California and the World War II internment of Japanese Americans. Now, in Asian America, Daniels presents an interpretive account of the Chinese and Japanese in the U.S. In doing so, he attempts to show that these groups are an integral part of the immigration and ethnic history of America, especially by stressing parallels in the experiences of Asian and European immigrants. Daniels further argues that, because of a number of factors, there are differences as well as …

[Review Of] John R. Salter. Jackson Mississippi, Allene Jones
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Jackson Mississippi is a fascinating book written about the Civil Rights Movement in Jackson, Mississippi in the sixties. The author, John Salter, a white outsider and sociologist who served as advisor and organizer of the Civil Rights Movement in Jackson is to be commended for his ability to write about the movement in such a vivid and moving manner. Salter does an excellent job in describing the many problems encountered in striking out against the many injustices that existed in Mississippi.
[Review Of] Harold Bascom. Apata, Lucy Wilson
[Review Of] Harold Bascom. Apata, Lucy Wilson
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Apata is subtitled: "The story of the reluctant criminal." This more or less sums up the plot, for after page sixty-three, the hero's fortunes plummet steadily, culminating in "the biggest manhunt ever seen" in the colony of British Guiana, with Apata both predator and prey, alternatively. With the unflinching pessimism of naturalism, Bascom traces the life of Michael Rayburn Apata, a young Guianese with a brilliant academic career ahead of him. The forces of heredity and environment conspire to destroy his chance for admission to King's College, prevent him from marrying the woman he loves, and limit him to dead-end …
[Review Of] Gary Soto. Baseball In April And Other Stories, Carl R. Shirley
[Review Of] Gary Soto. Baseball In April And Other Stories, Carl R. Shirley
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Gary Soto's previous prose collections (Living Up the Street: Narrative Recollections -- 1985, Small Faces -- 1986, and Lesser Evils: Ten Quartets -- 1988) all contained stories about growing up, but this latest book focuses exclusively on the trials and tribulations of children and young teenagers. The eleven sketches in Baseball in April range in subject from broken Barbie dolls to championship marble tournaments, and all reveal a compassionate, understanding insight as well as the deft handiwork of a fine writer. For those who do not understand Spanish, the author has supplied a short appendix with translations of words and …
"What Shall I Give My Children?" The Role Of The Mentor In Gloria Naylor's The Women Of Brewster Place And Paule Marshall's Praisesong For The Widow, Linda Wells
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The question Gwendolyn Brooks asks in her poem "What Shall I Give My Children?" is a central question asked by African Americans: how can I who am considered less than perfect by mainstream America give to my children a sense of their own self-worth? In a culture where being poor, black, and female triply marginalizes an individual, what kind of consciousness develops from such marginality? How does such marginality carry over into the next generation and into the community of other women? How does the power of mentoring and affiliation help women to overcome the institutional oppression leveled against them …
Critique [Of "What Shall I Give My Children?" The Role Of The Mentor In Gloria Naylor's The Women Of Brewster Place And Paule Marshall's Praisesong For The Widow By Linda Wells], Sandra E. Bowen
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
In her discussion of Mattie Michael and Avey Johnson as mentors in Gloria Naylor's The Women of Brewster Place and Paule Marshall's Praisesong for the Widow, Wells uses as a focal point Gwendolyn Brooks's poem "What Shall I Give My Children?" It is a socially and politically institutionalized assignment that becomes cosmic when experienced by African American women. Joanne M. Braxton expresses it: "As Black American women, we are born into a mystic sisterhood, and we live our lives within a magic circle, a realm of shared language, reference, and allusion within the veil of our blackness and our femaleness …
[Review Of] Jamaica Kincaid. Annie John, Elizabeth A. Mcneil
[Review Of] Jamaica Kincaid. Annie John, Elizabeth A. Mcneil
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Annie John, even though set in the West Indies and about a black Caribbean girl, is a work whose universally felt experience goes beyond allowing the novel to be neatly categorized as a piece of "ethnic" or "women's" writing. Born on Antigua, the island in which she sets the novel, Jamaica Kincaid catches many of the ways of being peculiar to this place. Maybe it is because Kincaid makes the setting home that we as readers find it so easy to slip into the story.

[Review Of] James A. Banks And Cherry A. Mcgee Banks, Eds. Multicultural Education: Issues And Perspectives, Margaret A. Laughlin
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
With a rapidly increasing minority population in the United States, it is more important than ever for both future and experienced teachers to recognize and appreciate the diversity of young people enrolled in our schools. By the year 2000 it is projected that one of three or more students will be part of an ethnic minority. In some cities and states, minority background students are already the majority school population. Teachers will be facing more and more students from different ethnic, cultural, language, religious, and socio-economic backgrounds. Many classes will include special needs students who are gifted, handicapped, or both. …
