[Review Of] Vine Deloria, Jr., Ed. A Sender Of Words: Essays In Memory Of John G. Neihardt, Helen Jaskoski
[Review Of] Vine Deloria, Jr., Ed. A Sender Of Words: Essays In Memory Of John G. Neihardt, Helen Jaskoski
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
John Neihardt was like James Boswell: each man's genius -- and it is a rare one -- lay in recognizing, respecting and calling forth the greater genius of another. Neihardt’s task was easier; he was nearly the sole arbiter of Black Elk's communication, with little to fear from comparison with other accounts, but also harder. He faced barriers in personal knowledge, tastes, values and language, as well as a public unprepared to accept his mentor's worth. This book pays tribute to Neihardt and appropriately is not a "balanced" appraisal but an appreciation of his best. However, despite claims for his …
[Review Of] Joanne V. Gabbin. Sterling A. Brown: Building The Black Aesthetic Tradition, Jean Walker
[Review Of] Joanne V. Gabbin. Sterling A. Brown: Building The Black Aesthetic Tradition, Jean Walker
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Numerous and diverse agendas have competed for consideration in attempts to establish and set the parameters of the black aesthetic tradition. W.E.B. DuBois and James Weldon Johnson are only two of several prominent Americans who have participated in this continuing and frequently intense dialogue. Yet perhaps no voice has been more consistently consulted and valued than that of Sterling A. Brown, distinguished teacher, scholar, poet, and critic. Despite the general acknowledgement of Brown's contributions to American literature in general and black American literature in particular, comprehensive scholarly analyses of his unique contributions have been limited. Joanne V. Gabbin addresses this …
[Review Of] Rayna Green, Ed. That's What She Said: Contemporary Poetry And Fiction By Native American Women, Helen Jaskoski
[Review Of] Rayna Green, Ed. That's What She Said: Contemporary Poetry And Fiction By Native American Women, Helen Jaskoski
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
This book begins to meet a significant need; ignorance of writings by women of color prevails throughout the American academic/literary establishment, most instructors being unacquainted even with writers like Leslie Silko and Louise Erdrich. Rayna Green's most important accomplishment may be that her anthology introduces serious readers to Native American women's writing. The collection comprises generous samplings from seventeen contemporary authors writing in English: seven pieces of fiction and almost 200 poems. Silko's work is absent, apparently because of copyright problems; writers represented include Erdrich, Paula Gunn Allen, Wendy Rose, Shirley Hill Witt, Linda Hogan, Joy Harjo, Carol Lee Sanchez.
[Review Of] Jerrald Asao Hiura, Ed. The Hawk's Well, Victor Okada
[Review Of] Jerrald Asao Hiura, Ed. The Hawk's Well, Victor Okada
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Given the paucity of Japanese·American art and literature in print, one can only welcome this collection of poetry, short fiction, black-and-white prints and drawings, and calligraphy. The reader should be advised, however, that the title may seem to promise more than the book delivers; only five artists and five authors (poems by four and a short story by another) are included here. The volume thus does not provide a wide sampling of art or literature.
[Review Of] Lenwood G. Davis, With The Assistance Of Marsha L. Moore. Malcolm X: A Selected Bibliography, James Gray
[Review Of] Lenwood G. Davis, With The Assistance Of Marsha L. Moore. Malcolm X: A Selected Bibliography, James Gray
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Malcolm X's central role in contemporary black thought and life means that students of history, sociology, religion, politics, and literature (to begin a list) must study him carefully. This volume provides a useful starting place, and every reasonable public collection should have a copy. Unfortunately, the cost and several shortcomings limit its use for personal libraries.
[Review Of] David Greenslade. Welsh Feuer, Phillips G. Davies
[Review Of] David Greenslade. Welsh Feuer, Phillips G. Davies
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Greenslade' s rather mod title underlines his main thesis -- namely, that ethnic consciousness among Welsh descendants in North America is very high indeed. Both his own evidence and my own observations convince me that he is perfectly justified in his assertion. The one thing he does not really address is "why?"
[Review Of] Paul J. Strand And Woodrow Jones, Jr. Indochinese Refugees In America: Problems Of Adaptation And Assimilation, Russell Endo
[Review Of] Paul J. Strand And Woodrow Jones, Jr. Indochinese Refugees In America: Problems Of Adaptation And Assimilation, Russell Endo
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Since the fall of Saigon in 1975, over three-quarters of a million Indochinese refugees have come to the United States. Numerous studies have been conducted on their adjustment to American society and on resettlement policies and programs. This book covers these very topics and is organized into three sections. The first part provides some background on the cultures and political histories of the major Indochinese groups and on federal and state policies and programs. The second investigates problems experienced by the Indochinese, particularly with regard to their health, education, language abilities, and employment and is based on a 1981 needs …
[Review Of] Carol Bruchac, Linda Hogan, Judith Mcdaniel, Eds. The Stories We Hold Secret-Tales Of Women's Spiritual Development, Nancy K. Herzberg
[Review Of] Carol Bruchac, Linda Hogan, Judith Mcdaniel, Eds. The Stories We Hold Secret-Tales Of Women's Spiritual Development, Nancy K. Herzberg
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
The Stories We Hold Secret -- Tales of Women's Spiritual Development is an anthology of thirty-one short fiction pieces written by and about women in America. These are not stories about extraterrestrial visits, enlightenment through gurus, or dramatic religious conversion; rather, these are stories of inner knowing, of our "holy dailiness," as Linda Hogan says in the preface. The stories are as varied as women's experience, from the quietness of a Native American woman cooking beans and cornbread in her kitchen to the tumult of a woman who for the first time becomes involved with a workers' strike.
[Review Of] Felix M. Padilla. Latino Ethnic Consciousness, Luis L. Pinto
[Review Of] Felix M. Padilla. Latino Ethnic Consciousness, Luis L. Pinto
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
An analysis of the concept of Hispanic or Latino as a form of an ethnic conscious identity and behavior separate from the individual ethnic identity of Mexican Americans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans and another Spanish speaking groups is the subject of Latino Ethnic Consciousness. Its focus is Chicago Mexican American and Puerto Rican populations.
[Review Of] Peter Najarian. Daughters Of Memory, Margaret Bedrosian
[Review Of] Peter Najarian. Daughters Of Memory, Margaret Bedrosian
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Daughters of Memory is Peter Najarian's third work of fiction. The first, Voyages (1971) is a classic story of a young man born to immigrant Armenians beginning to come to terms with his family and communal past against the New Jersey backdrop. Written with lyricism and simplicity, it is one of the finest novels by an Armenian American writer. Najarian continued to explore the various parts of his psyche in the less accomplished second book, Wash Me On Home, Mama (1978). But it is only in this latest work that his growing maturity as a writer combined with his developing …
[Review Of] Mark Naison. Communists In Harlem During The Depression, W. A. Jordan Iii
[Review Of] Mark Naison. Communists In Harlem During The Depression, W. A. Jordan Iii
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
The Communist Party and its relationship to blacks in the United States is a difficult subject to fully research. Necessary critical information must lie in still secret vaults in Washington and in Moscow. Naison's former dissertation is a praise-worthy effort to unravel fact from fantasy as it applied to Black Harlem and the Party.
[Review Of] Paul A. Scanlon, Ed. Stories From Central And Southern Africa, W. A. Jordan Iii
[Review Of] Paul A. Scanlon, Ed. Stories From Central And Southern Africa, W. A. Jordan Iii
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Any work in the prestigious paperback African Writers Series commands immediate attention and respect. As policy makers and policy breakers wrestle about the South African question -- newly discovering the horrors of an inequality that has existed for more than 300 years -- it is refreshing to look at this collection of twenty-two short narratives. They provide a proper cultural baseline for the current struggle. Like it or not, what lies underneath the political turmoil are cultural values.

[Review Of] Anna Lee Walters . The Sun Is Not Merciful, Helen Jaskoski
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Anna Lee Walters' first collection of short stories has already won two awards, the Virginia McCormick Scully Literary Award for "the best published work during 1985 reflecting the life, history or heritage of the Western Indians" and the 1985 American Book Award from the Before Columbus Foundation.
[Review Of] Gilbert Ware. William Hastie: Grace Under Pressure, Allene Jonse
[Review Of] Gilbert Ware. William Hastie: Grace Under Pressure, Allene Jonse
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
William Hastie: Grace Under Pressure is a book written about the life and works of William H. Hastie, the first black federal judge. Gilbert Ware, who was a professor of political science at Drexel University in Philadelphia at the time of the publication of this book, is to be commended for his ability to capture and convey the essence of the person and leadership of William Hastie.

[Review Of] Monte Piliawsky. Exit 1 3: Oppression And Racism In Academia, David B. Bills
[Review Of] Monte Piliawsky. Exit 1 3: Oppression And Racism In Academia, David B. Bills
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
The first half of Exit 13: Oppression and Racism in Academia presents a case study of the University of Southern Mississippi. (The title refers to the I-59 exit leading to Hattiesburg.) Monte Piliawsky concentrates on the early 1970s, during part of which time he held an appointment in the Department of Political Science at USM. He portrays a university controlled by a bigoted administration and describes in great detail the arbitrary and decentralized authority exercised there. His depiction of the University's leadership reveals it as comical if insensitive at one extreme and viciously racist and vindictive on the other. USM …
[Review Of] Joel Williamson. The Crucible Of Race, Orville W. Taylor
[Review Of] Joel Williamson. The Crucible Of Race, Orville W. Taylor
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Almost twenty years ago Joel Williamson, professor of history at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, began work on this book, envisioned as the definitive history and reinterpretation of black-white relationships in our time. Along the way he modified his conceptions many times and detoured in 1977-78 to write New People, a study of the physical and cultural mixing of blacks and whites.
Critique [Of The Challenges And Limitations Of Conducting Research Among The Old Order Amish By Jerry Savells And Thomas Foster], Louise Mayo
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
This article, by Jerry Savells and Thomas Foster may well be useful for researchers attempting studies of groups living voluntarily outside of the "mainstream" of American society. To a non-specialist like this historian, however, the article is ultimately frustrating.

Implications For Survival: Coping Strategies Of The Women In Alice Walker's Novels, Robbie Jean Walker
Implications For Survival: Coping Strategies Of The Women In Alice Walker's Novels, Robbie Jean Walker
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Various strategies for coping have surfaced in the uncertain, arduous, and frequently faltering struggle by black Americans for equality of opportunity, coping strategies characterized variously as carefully considered judgments or mere reactions devoid of ideological commitment. These efforts have engaged the attention of historians, sociologists, psychologists, political scientists, and other scholars motivated by a perceived obligation to explicate the nature of the struggle and articulate viable modes for ameliorating the effects of discrimination. Literary artists have also manifested a similar interest by using the medium of imaginative literature to illuminate and dramatize the realities of the historical situation.

An Interview With Geraldine Keams, Gretchen M. Bataille
An Interview With Geraldine Keams, Gretchen M. Bataille
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
When Geraldine Keams visited Iowa State University for the annual Symposium on the American Indian in 1983, I had the opportunity to interview her. The tape remained untranscribed until we met again in California during the fall of 1986, more than three years later. Geri and I discussed the directions her life had taken since our initial meeting, and we both agreed that her comments made in 1983 were still relevant. The interview is printed below in full, and some contemporary comments about her life bring the interview up to date.
Critique [Of Implications For Survival: Coping Strategies Of The Women In Alice Walker's Novels By Robbie Jean Walker], Otis L. Scott
Critique [Of Implications For Survival: Coping Strategies Of The Women In Alice Walker's Novels By Robbie Jean Walker], Otis L. Scott
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Intersecting the tools of psychological and sociological research which attempt to explain real human behavior with the tools of the novelist which attempt to portray a fictional accounting of human behavior, Walker presents an analytical model for examining the coping behaviors of three women in two novels of Alice Walker: The Third Life of Grange Copeland and The Color Purple.
The Challenges And Limitations Of Conducting Research Among The Old Order Amish, Jerry Savells, Thomas Foster
The Challenges And Limitations Of Conducting Research Among The Old Order Amish, Jerry Savells, Thomas Foster
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The Old Order or "horse and buggy" Amish have been a part of American society for more than two centuries. Today, some 95,000 Amish persons reside in over twenty states, a Canadian province, and two countries in Latin America. Although variations exist in the social values and behavioral practices within different Amish communities (or church districts), they have basically resisted the acculturation process that would reinforce and promote a standard of living and lifestyle embraced by most of the non-Amish in the U.S.
Critique [Of The Challenges And Limitations Of Conducting Research Among The Old Order Amish By Jerry Savells And Thomas Foster], David Gradwohl
Critique [Of The Challenges And Limitations Of Conducting Research Among The Old Order Amish By Jerry Savells And Thomas Foster], David Gradwohl
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The fact that the Old Order Amish have resisted acculturation processes in the United States is not startling news. The generally successful persistence of many aspects of traditional Amish culture as islands within the mainstream of American society has been well-articulated in general studies by John Hostetler and others. It is also documented in more specific community studies, for example the work of Elmer and Dorothy Schwieder at Kalona, Iowa, published in 1975 -- a source not cited in the above article, although that community was also among the individual Old Order Amish groups studied by Savells and Foster. Similarly, …

Critique [Of The Challenges And Limitations Of Conducting Research Among The Old Order Amish By Jerry Savells And Thomas Foster], Margaret Laughlin
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Savells and Foster in individual settings and circumstances have conducted research among members of the Old Order Amish using interviews and questionnaire surveys. While they report their efforts in one paper, this reviewer suspects each author had very different purposes in mind as he conducted his individual ethnographic research project. Savells's and Foster's research may have generated new information, but this information needs to be linked with earlier research findings which in turn can be used to create new knowledge. The theoretical framework from which each worked is not clear, although both authors do attempt to place their findings within …
