[Review Of] Trudier Harris. Exorcising Blackness: Historical And Literary Lynching And Burning Rituals, John Lowe
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Trudier Harris begins her impressive new study of lynching and burning rituals in black literature with a horrifying, albeit fictional, account of the three-hour torture, dismemberment, and murder (yes, in that order) of a black man and his wife. Alice Walker opens The Color Purple in a similarly shocking manner, with Celie's rape by the man we believe to be her father. The novel Harris quotes, however, was taken, detail by detail, from a real event, which she proceeds to document. The rest of her book is no less relentless in demonstrating that lynching and burning rituals were not simply …

[Review Of] Michael P. Johnson And James P. Roark, Eds. No Chariot Let Down: Charleston's Free People Of Color On The Eve Of The Civil War, Orville W. Taylor
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
In an overgrown cemetery in the old village of Stateburg, South Carolina, a hundred miles north of Charleston lies the body of William Ellison (1790-1860), patriarch of a remarkable clan of free blacks whose achievements belie the myth of the Old South as a society of wealthy white masters and poor black slaves. Born a slave and perhaps the son of his master, Ellison early learned to make cotton gins and at age twentysix purchased his freedom and went into business in Stateburg. Riding the crest of the cotton boom, in 1835 he bought the handsome home of former governor …
[Review Of] Arnold Krupat. For Those Who Come After: A Study Of Native American Autobiography, Helen Jaskoski
[Review Of] Arnold Krupat. For Those Who Come After: A Study Of Native American Autobiography, Helen Jaskoski
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
This is the second monograph on Native American autobiography, and together with Bataille and Sands' American Indian Women Telling Their Lives will be the necessary starting point for future studies in this neglected area of American literature. An introduction and four chapters on individual works, with index and selected bibliography, comprise the text; the introduction and first chapter are most valuable. In the introduction Krupat articulates two requisites for critical reading of American Indian texts: consideration of means of production (focus on the intercultural relationship between author and transcriber-mediators), and critical theory to define artistic values (here, Northrop Frye's categories …
[Review Of] Daniel F. Littlefield, Jr., And James W. Parins. American Indian And Alaska Native Newspapers And Periodicals, 1826-1924, Donald L. Guimary
[Review Of] Daniel F. Littlefield, Jr., And James W. Parins. American Indian And Alaska Native Newspapers And Periodicals, 1826-1924, Donald L. Guimary
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
American Indian and Alaska Native Newspapers and Periodicals, 1826-1924 is a timely and useful book, particularly with growing interest in ethnicity. The work is a directory listing more than 200 titles of American Indian and Alaska Native newspapers and periodicals . The names of the newspapers and journals are listed alphabetically as well as cross-referenced by tribal affiliation, location, and chronology. Following each title is a brief description listing the publications owner(s) and dates of publication. An index is included. The book describes the earliest newspapers up to 1924, when the Pueblo Lands Board Act was passed, giving citizenship to …
[Review Of] Waldo E. Martin, Jr. The Mind Of Frederick Douglass, Kent L. Koppelman
[Review Of] Waldo E. Martin, Jr. The Mind Of Frederick Douglass, Kent L. Koppelman
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
He was one of the foremost orators and abolitionists of the 19th century. He was also a feminist who actively worked for woman's suffrage. He was a Christian who opposed the use of the King James Bible in public schools as a violation of the separation of church and state. He was a former slave and designated spokesman for black people whose second marriage was to a white woman. Frederick Douglass was highly praised and soundly criticized by blacks and whites alike, but through it all he maintained a consistent and powerful moral voice calling upon this nation to measure …
[Review Of] John Reed And Clive Wake, Eds . A New Book Of African Verse, Charlotte H. Bruner
[Review Of] John Reed And Clive Wake, Eds . A New Book Of African Verse, Charlotte H. Bruner
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
A New Book of African Verse, edited by John Reed and Clive Wake, is actually a new edition of A Book of African Verse, which appeared in 1964 just as black literature of Africa and of the United States was gaining recognition, particularly in academic circles. The authors' intention has been consistently modest. From the first, the authors chose works from contemporary poets of French or English expression from Africa south of the Sahara. Certainly in 1964 their first volume brought attention to almost unknown poetry and was useful as " an introduction to new readers of African poetry."
[Review Of] Sonia Sanchez. Homegirls And Handgrenades, Aisha Eshe
[Review Of] Sonia Sanchez. Homegirls And Handgrenades, Aisha Eshe
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
homegirls & handgrenades is a book of poetry and prose pieced together with a multitude of colors and a variety of shapes that form a large blanket that covers many aspects of life in this country, of people in general, and of black people specifically.
[Review Of] Virginia Sapiro. Women In American Society, Linda M. C. Abbott
[Review Of] Virginia Sapiro. Women In American Society, Linda M. C. Abbott
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Political scientist Virginia Sapiro's introductory-level women's studies text is unusual in the ease with which it integrates the data bases which form the foundation for its multidisciplinary approach. Although it assumes no background in the social sciences, the book is nevertheless demanding in the rigor and complexity of its analysis. Striking a balance between societal and individual concerns, the work moves easily from one framework to another, drawing content and methodology from fields as diverse as biology and religion.

[Review Of] David O. Sears , Jonathan L. Freedman, And Letitia Anne Peplau. Social Psychology, Alex GonzáLez
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
At a time when social psychology as a field of study has reached a new high and journals and textbooks have proliferated to meet the new demands of social psychologists and students alike, the publication of the fifth edition of a basic social psychology text says something not only about the book's endurance but also about its basic soundness. Over the years, this volume has been used by thousands of students and in many ways has set the standard for other social psychology texts which attempt to give an introduction to the field. With this edition the high standard set …
[Review Of] L.G. Moses And Raymond Wilson. Indian Lives: Essays On Nineteenth And Twentieth-Century Native American Leaders, David M. Gradwohl
[Review Of] L.G. Moses And Raymond Wilson. Indian Lives: Essays On Nineteenth And Twentieth-Century Native American Leaders, David M. Gradwohl
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
In this volume, insights into American Indian ethnicity are presented through synopses of the lives of eight individuals. Analyses of these lives exhibit dimensions of family and kinship ties, cultural traditions, acculturation vis-a-vis the dominant society, and personal choices. The eight lives selected provide some balance in terms of geography, tribal affiliation, and gender (five men and three women). Five of the individuals were born in the 1850s and 1860s and died between 1915 and 1947; one person lived from 1811 to 1875; another from 1880 to 1949; the eighth, still living, was born in 1937.

[Review Of] J. William Snorgrass And Gloria T. Woody. Blacks And Media: A Selected, Annotated Bibliography, 1962-1982, Regina E. Webster
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
This annotated bibliography on black Americans in various media formats came at a time when I was searching for bibliographic information on black women. As a result, I was able to locate several titles of articles from the Bibliography that were appropriate and timely. The entries reflect variety in source content, and the use of media fields helps to catalog the publication materials.
[Review Of] Henry Lewis Suggs , Ed. The Black Press In The South, 1865-1979, James B. Potts
[Review Of] Henry Lewis Suggs , Ed. The Black Press In The South, 1865-1979, James B. Potts
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
This volume consists of twelve essays that address the history of black newspapers in the states that constituted the Confederacy. The intent of this collection, explains its editor, is to examine the southern black press "not only as an instrument of social change but as black enterprise, black crusade, and black artistic expression" (vii).
[Review Of] Isobel White, Diane Barwick, And Betty Meehan, Eds. Fighters And Singers: The Lives Of Some Aboriginal Women, Gretchen M. Bataille
[Review Of] Isobel White, Diane Barwick, And Betty Meehan, Eds. Fighters And Singers: The Lives Of Some Aboriginal Women, Gretchen M. Bataille
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Fighters and Singers is a collection of fifteen essays written about Aboriginal women of Australia. The authors, mostly anthropologists and all women, wrote of their "sisters," "mothers," and "aunts." The pieces are all informative about tribal life, but they are also warm reminiscences of relationships across cultural boundaries. Among the contributors is Pearl Duncan, the first Aborigine to become a trained teacher in Australia and a former member of the National Aboriginal Education Committee.

[Review Of] C. Kamarae, M. Schultz, And W.M. O'Barr, Eds. Language And Power, Linda M. C. Abbott
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
In recent years, educators concerned with issues of access and equity have supported a variety of bilingual educational delivery systems. Similarly, feminists seeking representation and recognition have advocated inclusive language and nonsexist job titles. From these and other arenas, the relationship of language and power has surfaced as an issue of national importance. In this timely collection of essays, Kamarae and her associates have legitimated and extended the discussion.
[Review Of] Sandy Lydon. Chinese Gold: The Chinese In The Monterey Bay Region, D. John Lee
[Review Of] Sandy Lydon. Chinese Gold: The Chinese In The Monterey Bay Region, D. John Lee
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Lydon's history of the Chinese in the Monterey Bay region is a monument to the Chinese who immigrated to North America everywhere. The title Chinese Gold refers to a metaphor Lydon uses throughout his account of how "through their particular form of alchemy (insight plus ingenuity plus energy), the Chinese turned what they found into gold" (p. 504). The Chinese were able to see the resources of the Monterey Bay region where others could not and developed them "to the lasting benefit of the Monterey Bay region." But there are very few Chinese Americans in the region today and there …
[Review Of] Kristin Herzog. Women, Ethnics, And Exotics : Images Of Power In Mid·Nineteenth Century American Fiction, Gretchen M. Bataille
[Review Of] Kristin Herzog. Women, Ethnics, And Exotics : Images Of Power In Mid·Nineteenth Century American Fiction, Gretchen M. Bataille
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Herzog examines literary works of the mid-nineteenth century which reverse values, transcend stereotypes, and demand a reevaluation of the roles of "women, ethnics, and exotics" in fiction as well as reality. The ethnics are blacks and Indians; the exotics Herzog defines as " strikingly out of the orindary [ordinary]" or " excitingly strange" characters. Images of women are similar to the images of the "Noble Savages" and other non-white people in that all are considered "natural," more innocent or more demonic, more devine [divine] and more terrifying than white males . So too are they viewed as more passive, less …

She also knows various creoles of the islands and appreciates the linguistic variety there. She has taught Caribbean literature for twenty years.
[Review Of] Emmanuel Ngara. Art And Ideology In The African Novel, Jean Bright
[Review Of] Emmanuel Ngara. Art And Ideology In The African Novel, Jean Bright
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
The sub-title of this enigmatic book is "A Study of the Influence of Marxism on African Writing." The first of the two parts of the books deals primarily with definitions of Marxist aesthetics. For a serious work, not only are the cliches and terminology tiresome but the choice of quotations is unfortunate. Ngara quotes Marx's and Engel's opinion that Dickens, Thackeray, Emily Bronte and Gaskell wrote novels "whose graphic and eloquent pages have issued to the world more political and social truths than have been uttered by all the professional politicians, publicists and moralists put together." Ngara adds a pronouncement …
[Review Of] Paule Marshall. Praisesong For The Widow, Delo Washington
[Review Of] Paule Marshall. Praisesong For The Widow, Delo Washington
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Paule Marshall's Praisesong for the Widow is an account of maturation or, put another way, of a black woman's willingness to confront her emergent self. Tastefully groomed, sixty-four year old Avatarra " Avey" Johnson leaves her suburban New York home to vacation with two friends on a West Indies cruise. Her decision to interrupt her plans, shortly after arriving at one of the destinations, is a surprise to everyone. Avey is compelled to discount the material investment she has made in the trip in order to follow a mind that has been haunted by dreams of her great aunt Cuney.

[Review Of] Edward A. Tiryakian And Ronald Rogowski, Eds. New Nationalisms Of The Developed West: Toward Explanation, Mary A. Ludwig
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Tiryakian and Rogowski have edited a strong and useful collection of nine theoretical and seven comparative articles on nationalism in advanced industrial societies in the West. What is new in the presentations in this work is the systematic comparison of a number of nationalist movements that have been treated hitherto as separate cases. The writers are focusing on nationalism in advanced capitalist economies rather than in developing nations or socialist industrial states, so examples are drawn from Quebec and Western Europe. A great strength of the collection lies in the richness of the analysis produced by contributors drawn from a …

Goan Literature From Peter Nazareth: An Interview, Charles C. Irby
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Peter Nazareth is an associate professor in the English Department and the Afro american Studies Program at the University of Iowa. His job includes being an advisor to the International Writing Program, which brings published writers from thirty to forty countries to Iowa City each fall. During the fall of 1984, he accompanied Michael Anthony (Trinidad) and Flora Nwapa (Nigeria) to Iowa State University for readings, and it was a golden opportunity to get some insights about the growth and development of both Goan literature and its primary catalytic agent to date.
Critique [Of Chicano Ethnicity And Aging By Marvin A. Lewis], Barbara L. Hiura
Critique [Of Chicano Ethnicity And Aging By Marvin A. Lewis], Barbara L. Hiura
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Lewis's article presents a creative and exciting approach for understanding the importance elderly people have not only in the family but in the community as well. He blends literary personification, cultural integration, and social science strategies for illustrating Chicano traditions and their relationships to the aging process. Literary works involving curandero/curandera and abuelo/abuela folk traditions depict reverance [reverence], honor, power, and prestige as engaging qualities inherited by the elderly. Lewis's analysis of Anaya's Bless Me Ultima and Santiago's Famous All Over Town illustrate the congruence folk traditions have with the positive aspects of the aging process. By using literature to …

Chicano Ethnicity And Aging, Marvin A. Lewis
Chicano Ethnicity And Aging, Marvin A. Lewis
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
In an insightful article published a decade ago, "The Chicano Aged," David Maldonado offers some comments that are germane to this presentation. In summing up the dilemma of the Chicano elderly, he asserts: The aged person in the extended family holds high status and commands the respect and obedience of the younger family members. Within the extended family structure. the aging person grows in prestige and respect. The individual holds high rank and has influence in the life of the group.[1] This is the position afforded the aged in many societies as long as the elderly are able to function …
Critique [Of Chicano Ethnicity And Aging By Marvin A. Lewis], Ron Striano
Critique [Of Chicano Ethnicity And Aging By Marvin A. Lewis], Ron Striano
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Art serves the societal functions of recording, interpreting and predicting. Here, analysis of popular archetypes in Chicano fiction and poetry are used to illustrate cultural values toward the elderly and conflicts of values between generations of Chicanos. This leads to an examination of how Chicano values differ from Anglo-American values toward the elderly. The author demonstrates the problems of acculturation, blending into and enriching another culture while retaining a sense of one's own culture, versus assimilation, abandoning one's own heritage and taking on the values of another culture. In the latter, upward mobility striving by younger Chicanos creates a chasm …
Critique [Of Racism And The Canadian State By Daiva K. Stasiulis], A. William Hoglund
Critique [Of Racism And The Canadian State By Daiva K. Stasiulis], A. William Hoglund
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Stasiulis's two-part essay offers a critique of the policies on immigration and racism pursued by the Canadian government during the past decade or so. While the government's multicultural institutions seek to ameliorate racism, its immigration agencies get blamed for intensifying the problem. The latter agencies are better supported than the former which are on the "fringes of state power," and, according to the author, have little chance of changing immigration policies.

[Review Of] Veronica E. Velarde Tiller. The Jicarilla Apache Tribe: A History, 1846-1970, Wolfgang Binder
[Review Of] Veronica E. Velarde Tiller. The Jicarilla Apache Tribe: A History, 1846-1970, Wolfgang Binder
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
This first comprehensive history of the Jicarilla Apaches proves an indispensible [indispensable] tool for understanding this tribe, government and Indian relations, and the history of the state of New Mexico. Veronica Tiller was, despite being part of a prominent Jicarilla family, able to strike a balance between giving the reader a wealth of detailed facts pertaining to the tribe and its smaller organizational units and placing them within the larger context of government or New Mexico state policies. The author, who used an impressive number of government documents, is modest and clear sighted enough not to claim an Indian point …
[Review Of] Paul G. Zolbrod. Dine Bahane' : The Navajo Creation Story, Kathleen Danker
[Review Of] Paul G. Zolbrod. Dine Bahane' : The Navajo Creation Story, Kathleen Danker
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Paul G. Zolbrod's Dine Bahane': The Navajo Creation Story is a revision of Washington Matthews' "The Navaho Origin Legend" published in Navaho Legends (Boston: American Folklore Society) in 1897. Zolbrod justly describes Matthews' version of this narative [narrative] as "one of the world's significant literary works," and his rewriting of it makes it accessible as never before to English speaking readers. The narrative is essentially sacred in nature, dealing with the emergence of precursors to human beings through successive primal worlds and with male and female deities who must achieve harmony, peace, and balance between themselves and throughout the world …
