Some Symbols Of Identity Of Byzantine Catholics, Robert J. Skovira
Some Symbols Of Identity Of Byzantine Catholics, Robert J. Skovira
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
This essay is a description of some of an ethnic group’s symbols of identity”, its aim is to explore the meanings of the following statement: [Byzantine Catholics] are no longer an immigrant and ethnic group. Byzantine Catholics are American in every sense of the word, that the rite itself is American as opposed to foreign, and that both the rite and its adherents have become part and parcel of the American scene.”

[Review Of] Walter Dyke And Ruth Dyk, Eds., Left Handed: A Navajo Autobiography, Andrew Wiget
[Review Of] Walter Dyke And Ruth Dyk, Eds., Left Handed: A Navajo Autobiography, Andrew Wiget
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
When Walter Dyk published Son of Old Man Hat in 1938, he introduced most of the world to a remarkable youth: Left Handed of the Bitahni clan, adopted son of Old Man Hat. That classic anthropological autobiography was the story of a child, born before his time, who grew to be a humorous, sensitive and observant young man. Left Handed dictated this story, which he concluded with his marriage, almost a half a century after most of the events had occurred. Following the Second World War, Dyk returned to the Navajo Reservation for the rest of the story and found …
[Review Of] Anne Wortham, The Other Side Of Racism: A Philosophical Study Of Black Race Consciousness, Ramond L. Hall
[Review Of] Anne Wortham, The Other Side Of Racism: A Philosophical Study Of Black Race Consciousness, Ramond L. Hall
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
The author, "a freelance writer, editor, and broadcast researcher .... (presently) a doctoral candidate in sociology at Boston College," proposes to study blacks who advocate black consciousness. Wortham condemns ethnic or racial consciousness, and therefore characterizes "the other side of racism " as "a dilemma of individual self-esteem as opposed to problems of group conflict in race relations."

[Review Of] William A. Doublass And Richard W. Etulain, Eds., Basque Americans: A Guide To Information Sources, Sergio D. Elizondo
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
This is a selected and annotated bibliography on the European and American Basques, the immigrants and their descendents known as the Amerikanauk. It is useful for both lay people and serious researchers and, short as it may seem, treats a wide variety of subjects concerning one of the least known minority ethnic groups that are an integral part of this multicultural country.

[Review Of] Ellease Sutherland, Let The Lion Eat Straw, Janet Cheatham Bell
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
This novella covers the life of Abeba Williams Torch from her childhood in North Carolina to her death at a fairly young age in Harlem. The potential for a fully realized novel is everywhere in this book, but because the author chose not to include the detail which would make it so, the effect is unsatisfying.
[Review Of] Vladimir Wertsman, The Romanians In America And Canada: A Guide To Information Sources, Ernestine Paniagua
[Review Of] Vladimir Wertsman, The Romanians In America And Canada: A Guide To Information Sources, Ernestine Paniagua
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
This book is intended as a convenient guide to research on Romanians in both America and Canada. As the subtitle indicates, it is a guide book, one of a multi-volume ethnic studies information guide series that Gale Information Company is currently completing. The volume has two major components: one provides the non-specialist with a broad perspective on major themes in the research literature, and the other provides annotated bibliographies of selected books, pamphlets, and periodicals of special significance.

[Review Of] Jane B. Katz (Ed.), This Song Remembers: Self-Portraits Of Native Americans In The Arts, Gretchen M. Bataille
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Through literature, music, and the visual arts people remember who they were and who they are. Jane B. Katz has effectively brought together the ”rememberings" of twenty-one Native American artists who tell briefly of their lives, their work, and the influence of their Native American heritage on all that they create
[Review Of] David W. Baird, The Quapaw Indians: A History Of The Downstream People, David R. Mcdonald
[Review Of] David W. Baird, The Quapaw Indians: A History Of The Downstream People, David R. Mcdonald
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Baird, in a highly engaging book, examines the history of a little known Indian tribe. Originally inhabitants of the Ohio Valley, the Quapaws, by 1973, had migrated to the area around the Arkansas and Mississippi Rivers where they were first encountered by the French. Considered important allies by the French and later the Spanish, the Quapaws served as a buffer against the British and British-allied Indians. The results of contacts with Europeans, however, were soon felt by the Quapaws; by 1763 their population had dropped to seven hundred from an estimated six to fifteen thousand in 1682.

Those of us concerned with mass media stereotyping are especially grateful for this well-edited reader, but all persons interested in Native Americans and their ”popular“ images will find it enjoyable and useful.
[Review Of] Evelyn Gross Avery, Rebels And Victims: The Fiction Of Richard Wright And Bernard Malamud, Edith Blicksilver
[Review Of] Evelyn Gross Avery, Rebels And Victims: The Fiction Of Richard Wright And Bernard Malamud, Edith Blicksilver
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Evelyn Gross Avery's comparison of Richard Wright's works and themes with those of Bernard Malamud asserts that a clear pattern of behavior is discernible in both Afro-American and Jewish-American fiction. Both black and Jew, facing a hostile Anglo-power society, psychologically and sometimes even physically abused, emerged as rebels striking out at exploitation and injustice or as victims, internalizing their frustrated anguish.
[Review Of] The Immigrants Speak: Italian Immigrants Tell Their Story By Salvatore J. Lagumina, Frank J. Cavaioli
[Review Of] The Immigrants Speak: Italian Immigrants Tell Their Story By Salvatore J. Lagumina, Frank J. Cavaioli
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
In The Immigrants Speak, Italian Americans Tell Their Story LaGumina has fashioned fourteen personal life histories that include miners, shoemakers, a poet, an artist, theater people, a social worker, a soldier, a lawyer and an entrepreneur. Through their recollections they have increased our understanding of the Italian American experience. Their stories. told in the first person, both dramatize and illuminate the role of ethnicity in the twentieth century. As LaGumina states, “These stories detail the lives of a people bridging two cultures in modern history.”
Critique [Of A Proposed Model For Advocacy Services For Mexican Undocumented Aliens With Mental Health Needs], Helen G. Chapin
Critique [Of A Proposed Model For Advocacy Services For Mexican Undocumented Aliens With Mental Health Needs], Helen G. Chapin
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Mexican undocumented aliens are and will continue to be a presence in the United States. This Proposal cites a 1972 study of an estimated eight million illegal aliens in this country, a figure that has climbed sharply since that date. Positive contributions toward improving the living and working situations of this population are, therefore, necessary and important.
Critique [Of Ethical Problems In Evaluation Research], Arnold Kahn
Critique [Of Ethical Problems In Evaluation Research], Arnold Kahn
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Johnson’s paper contains four assumptions which deserve further attention, especially in the context of ethnic minorities. These four assumptions are both obvious and at the root of the ethical problems: 1) Minorities need services; 2) services are to be provided by the dominant group; 3) the providing of services must be evaluated for cost-effectiveness; and 4) the evaluators are more likely to come from the dominant group than the minority group and hence be more powerful than those being evaluated. This, then, leads to the basic problem addressed by Johnson: How can this evaluation process occur such that the rights …

Ethnicity And Human Rights: An Organizational And Individual Perspective, George E. Carter
Ethnicity And Human Rights: An Organizational And Individual Perspective, George E. Carter
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Article I of the Universal Declaration of Human rights adopted by the United Nations in December, 1948, holds: "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood." Article II stipulates that everyone is entitled to the rights set forth in the Declaration "without distinction of any kind," including race, colour, sex, language. In the view of many American ethnic people the question of human rights and ethnicity has been and still is one of the most neglected aspects of …
[Review Of] George Woodcock, The Canadians, John W. Larner Jr.
[Review Of] George Woodcock, The Canadians, John W. Larner Jr.
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
The Canadians offers nothing new to advanced students of North American ethnicity. It is a richly illustrated, pleasant, inoffensive, pseudo-comprehensive pictorial account of Canada's history. Every library should have it for the general reader, for it is a facile introduction to a complex North American alternative nation. Canadians would probably be tempted to serialize portions of it -- in Anglo newspapers!

[Review Of] Prejudice: Perceiving And Believing, David N. Mielke
[Review Of] Prejudice: Perceiving And Believing, David N. Mielke
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
During the past ten years Edward Asner has become one of the most highly regarded actors in television and cinema. He has seemed best suited to roles which have portrayed power, authority, and usually wisdom. The most impressive of his characters has been his ”Lou Grant” (probably due to its long tenure involving two shows) and the public has extended Lou Grant's attributes to Asner, the person. This public respect and confidence is a legitimate recognition of a liberal and concerned human being who has been involved with numerous causes of justice. It would have been difficult to find a …
[Review Of] Kevin Marjoribanks, Ethnic Families And Children's Achievement, Shirley Vining-Brown
[Review Of] Kevin Marjoribanks, Ethnic Families And Children's Achievement, Shirley Vining-Brown
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
In this book Marjoribanks clearly stands with the environmentalists in the ”nature vs. nurture” controversy over inequalities in children's academic achievement. He examines the relation between various dimensions of family environments, attitudes toward school, and the academic performance of eleven year old children from different Australian ethclasses, i.e., groups that are horizontally stratified according to social status, while at the same time vertically stratified into ethnic groups. By examining data from six Australian ethclasses (Anglo-Australian middle social-status families; and Anglo-Australian, English, Greek, Southern Italian, and Yugoslavian lower social-status families), Marjoribanks finds that differences in family learning environments are related to …

[Review Of] Graham B. Taylor, The New Deal And American Indian Tribalism: The Administration Of The Indian Reorganization Act. 1934-45, George W. Sieber
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
John Collier became Indian Commissioner during the New Deal Administration of Franklin Roosevelt. For more than a decade Collier had been a severe critic of the Indian Bureau; his appointment marked a significant break with past governmental attitudes which had been implemented under the General Allotment Act of 1887, and had resulted in immense land transfers to non-Indian ownership.
A Proposed Model For Advocacy Services For Mexican Undocumented Aliens With Mental Health Needs, Ramon Salcido
A Proposed Model For Advocacy Services For Mexican Undocumented Aliens With Mental Health Needs, Ramon Salcido
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The purpose of this presentation is to discuss the studies that have focused on undocumented aliens from Mexico, to discuss barriers that inhibit their use of mental health services, and to outline ways in which social workers employed in mental health institutions can become actively involved in helping this group. Since 1900, immigration to the United States from Mexico has followed a pattern of continuing legal and illegal entry; legal alien families from Mexico are defined as those who have been legally admitted to the U.S., whereas undocumented families.are those residing in the U.S. who have entered illegally. Mexico has …
An Invisible Minority: An Examination Of Migrant Education, Margaret A. Laughlin
An Invisible Minority: An Examination Of Migrant Education, Margaret A. Laughlin
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
If one had the task of identifying the most educationally disadvantaged group of youngsters in the United States, the ones who under-perform all other groups enrolled in school, who have the highest school dropout rate, who have the lowest academic achievement level and highest number of school failures, no doubt the group readily identified would be the children of migrant agricultural families. These children face a unique set of problems. The migrant family, moving from state to state, alone or in groups, has created a unique life style reflecting the unpredictable agricultural conditions. Available statistics concerning the educational plight of …

Critique [Of Symbolic Interaction And Black Mental Health: Understanding Black Self-Conceptions], Jimmy L. Williams
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Aside from the intrinsic merit of Dr. Shirley V. Brown's "Symbolic interaction and Black Mental Health,...” the paper raises several important corollary issues that need extensive investigation; (1) the effects of one's self-concept upon how he or she views others; (2) the negligible effects of affirmative action programs; (3) the adverse effects of public school integration on blacks; (4) the validity of the assumption that schools in predominantly black neighborhoods are inherently inferior; and (5) the insidious notion that mainstreaming is both possible and desirable.
God's Silence And The Shrill Of Ethnicity In The Chicano Novel, Joe E. Rodriquez
God's Silence And The Shrill Of Ethnicity In The Chicano Novel, Joe E. Rodriquez
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Ethnic identity has to do with freely set of values, attitudes, and behavior from one’s cultural legacy in order to affirm a unique sense of peoplehood. In the United States ethnic groups such as the Chicano or Mexican American are often stigmatized, and the psychological burden of ethnic awareness can weigh heavily. Yet a healthy sense of ethnic identity is absolutely necessary for a positive self-concept when a person is part of a group that is slighted because of race or appearance. The question then is: how do Chicanos come to terms with their cultural tradition in a society that …
