[Review Of] Barbara Myerhoff. Number Our Days, Michele Zak Jan 1980

[Review Of] Barbara Myerhoff. Number Our Days, Michele Zak

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Number Our Days had its genesis in a research project on ethnicity and again at the University of Southern California where author Barbara Myerhoff is chairman of the department of anthropology. Her study of a group of elderly Jews living on and around the beach in Venice, California and who were members of the Aliyah Senior Citizens' Center, was undertaken reluctantly after Professor Myerhoff encountered resistance among the elderly Chicanos she had intended to study. The study absorbed four years of her life and ended in this record of surpassing warmth and intelligence of the past and present of a …

Abstracts Of Papers Presented At The 8th Annual Conference On Ethnic And Minority Studies

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

On November 10, 1939 at Benedict College, a black institution in Columbia, black South Carolinians met to organize a state unit of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Poeple [People] (NAACP). The main objective of the new organization, the South Carolina Conference of NAACP, was to create an effective instrument to be used for propaganda, fund-raising and litigation purposes, and to function as a united front in the struggle to reclaim the ballot. From the outset, the State Conference sought to create a mass-supported organization. Membership drives were initiated to enlarge the existing branches and to set up …

One Decade And The Politics Of Ethnic Studies: Focus For The Future, Charles C. Irby Jan 1980

One Decade And The Politics Of Ethnic Studies: Focus For The Future, Charles C. Irby

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

The first decade of coloured ethnic studies has passed quietly. This uncelebrated passing is probably more related to what did not occur in conceptual, methodological, and theoretical developments during the ten-year period than what did, in fact, happen. The decade can be characterized as one in which the ethnic studies movement suffered from intellectual dropsy. The politics of ethnic studies are all of those activities which have served to restrict its development.

Editor's Corner, Carter E. Carter

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Explorations in Ethnic Studies stands at another threshold. With the current issue. the present editor will hand over the editorial reins to Dr. Charles Irby. The present editor has brought Explorations through six issues and the foundation for the journal has been set. The criteria and standards have been hammered out. We now know that each article must explore new ground, set forth solutions to an ethnic issue, or structure a new model. It will not be easy to carry on the beginnings. Yet, if Ethnic Studies are to survive and flourish, the journal must go on and it must …


[Review Of] Tato Laviera. La Carreta Made A U-Turn, Wolfgang Binder Jan 1980

[Review Of] Tato Laviera. La Carreta Made A U-Turn, Wolfgang Binder

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

The title of this new book of poetry from New York's Latino Lower East Side refers to a drama, La Carreta, by one of Puerto Rico’s most prestigious authors, René Marqués (1919-1979). It is generally considered one of the supreme artistic expressions of the collective Puerto Rican experience. At the end of the play the emigrants decide to leave New York City in an attempt to maintain their integrity and identity, to till the earth in the hills of Puerto Rico.


Guest Editorial, Erwin A. Salk Jan 1980

Guest Editorial, Erwin A. Salk

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

As a guest editor, it seems most proper to give attention and thoughts to the National Association for Interdisciplinary Ethnic Studies (NAIES), which by its very nature is a unique and singular organization. We have little in common with the larger professional academic entities. We are small In membership, but have the capacity to operate on the national level.

[Review Of] Anna Lee Stensland. Literature By And About The American Indian, Dona Hoilman Jan 1980

[Review Of] Anna Lee Stensland. Literature By And About The American Indian, Dona Hoilman

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

This annotated bibliography, an expanded version of Stensland’s 1973 publication of the same title, broadens the scope of works included considerably. The earlier edition was intended as a guide for teachers of secondary students; the present edition also includes annotations by Aune Fadum of some 200 books for pupils in the elementary grades. Some of the 1973 annotations of important secondary level books have been retained, but the emphasis is on books published since that date. Books about Indians from Mexico and Canada are included. All together nearly 800 titles are mentioned.


[Review Of] Linda Pegman Doezema (Ed.). Dutch Americans: A Guide To Information Sources, Lois J. Kalloway Jan 1980

[Review Of] Linda Pegman Doezema (Ed.). Dutch Americans: A Guide To Information Sources, Lois J. Kalloway

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Ethnic-immigration history was once primarily the domain of ethnic-immigration historians. Over the past fifteen years, however, the development of the new social history has shown that studies of ethnicity, class, cities, families, and workers are interdependent. Josef Barton's study of urban mobility, John Cumbler's analysis of workers' militancy, and Laurence Glasco’s examination of life cycles all demonstrate this point. This expanding interest by social analysts increases the need for comprehensive bibliographic studies in ethnicity. Linda Doezema’s recent monograph helps fill the void for one frequently neglected group -- the Dutch.


The Doukhobors In Canada - Conflict And Social Change, 1900-1976, K. J. Bradley, J. S. Frideres Jan 1980

The Doukhobors In Canada - Conflict And Social Change, 1900-1976, K. J. Bradley, J. S. Frideres

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

he present study will document the number of acts of violence carried out by the Doukhobors in Canada during the period 1900-1976 as well as assess the influence of two potentially important causal factors: (i) leadership style and (ii) stress and strain on the incidence of violence. While a great deal has been written on the Doukhobors, much of the material is of a “sensational” variety and lacks any serious analytical framework. Few researchers have tried to systematically document the actual number of conflicts engaged in by Doukhobors or relate these periodic episodes of conflict to potential causes.


Editor's Corner, George E. Carter Jan 1979

Editor's Corner, George E. Carter

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

What will remain of Ethnic Studies in the 1980's? At the 7th Annual Conference on Ethnic and Minority Studies, away from the formal sessions and speakers, one heard a good deal of gloom and doom regarding the future of Ethnic Studies. The same dismal theme was present at several other major national conferences held during Spring 1979. It would be easy to conclude that Ethnic Studies is on its last legs and quietly will fade into oblivion.


[Review Of] Georgina Ashworth (Ed.). World Minorities, Asad Husain Jan 1979

[Review Of] Georgina Ashworth (Ed.). World Minorities, Asad Husain

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

At the present time, World Minorities is a very appropriate title for a book, since it coincides with the thirtieth anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and President Jimmy Carter's strong, favorable stand for them. The publication of the second volume of World Minorities by the Minority Rights Group based in London, England, is a welcome addition to the many voices recently raised to safeguard and in defense of the rights of minorities around the world.

[Review Of] David R. Weber (Ed.), Civil Disobedience In America, A Documentary History, George E. Carter Jan 1979

[Review Of] David R. Weber (Ed.), Civil Disobedience In America, A Documentary History, George E. Carter

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Here is an important book which should be on the required reading list of all Americans. It is imperative reading for ethnic and minority group members. In this anthology, Mr. Weber gets to one of the fundamental issues in American society, liberty of conscience, and what the individual should do if civil authority clashes with conscience. The dualistic nature of justice in American society--one code for the whites, one for minorities; one for the rich, and one for the poor--makes this book as relevant to individual Americans today as it might have been at any point in American history.


[Review Of] Ernest R. Myers, The Community Psychology Concept: Integrating Theory, Education, And Practice In Psychology, Social Work, And Public Administration, George E. Clarke Jan 1979

[Review Of] Ernest R. Myers, The Community Psychology Concept: Integrating Theory, Education, And Practice In Psychology, Social Work, And Public Administration, George E. Clarke

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Psychologists and other social scientists are critically analyzing the “state of the art” of community psychology. Their question is how this developing discipline can be best organized for pursuit of knowledge needed to bring about positive community change.

[Review Of] H. Craig Miner And William E. Unrau. The End Of Indian Kansas: A Study Of Cultural Revolution 1854-1871, George W. Sieber Jan 1979

[Review Of] H. Craig Miner And William E. Unrau. The End Of Indian Kansas: A Study Of Cultural Revolution 1854-1871, George W. Sieber

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

The forced removal of thousands of Indians from eastern Kansas between 1854 and 1871 adversely affected even more Native Americans and occupied even more government time than did the struggle between the army and the tribesmen of the western plains, who forcibly resisted subjugation.


[Review Of] James A. Clifton. The Prairie People: Continuity And Change In Potawatomi Indian Culture, 1665-1965, Kenneth M. Morrison Jan 1979

[Review Of] James A. Clifton. The Prairie People: Continuity And Change In Potawatomi Indian Culture, 1665-1965, Kenneth M. Morrison

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Until very recently, Indian history existed in the doldrums of guilt and ethnocentric misunderstanding. Since Indians were preeminently the great American obstacle to the inexorable process of United States expansion and progress, they have been relegated to the quiet, but nasty, fringes of Euroamerican history. Indians were destroyed or degraded in national chronicles. Sorry remnants of once proud peoples, reservation Indians, the story line goes, remained obstinately and hopelessly beyond the winds of change.


[Review Of] Gretchen M. Bataille, David M. Gradwohl, And Charles L. P. Silet (Eds.), The Worlds Between Two Rivers: Perspectives On American Indians In Iowa, William Bedford Clark Jan 1979

[Review Of] Gretchen M. Bataille, David M. Gradwohl, And Charles L. P. Silet (Eds.), The Worlds Between Two Rivers: Perspectives On American Indians In Iowa, William Bedford Clark

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

The presentation of symposia papers in book form poses several editorial problems, the chief of which is maintaining a unity of focus between the various offerings. With one or two notable exceptions, the papers in this collection treat aspects of the Native-American experience within the boundaries of the present state of Iowa, but, unfortunately, that rubric is too broad to provide an organizing principle definite enough to hold the book together. The result is something of a mixed bag. Although each of the papers is presented as a “chapter” and some attempt at cross-reference between individual papers is made, it …


[Review Of] Francesco Cordasco (Ed.), Italian Americans: A Guide To Information Sources, Frank J. Cavaioli Jan 1979

[Review Of] Francesco Cordasco (Ed.), Italian Americans: A Guide To Information Sources, Frank J. Cavaioli

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

The great proliferation of knowledge that has caused a problem of control and retrieval of that knowledge has caught up with the expanding field of research in ethnic-immigration history. Francesco Cordasco’s newly edited work, Italian Americans: A Guide to Information Sources, therefore is a major contribution in the field. The student of ethnic-immigration history and the related social sciences will find it a useful tool because it is the most comprehensive up-to-date bibliographical register on the Italian Americans. The book is Volume 2 in Gale's Ethnic Studies Information Guide Series dealing with ethnic groups in the United States.

[Review Of] Kay Graber (Ed.), Sister To The Sioux: The Memoirs Of Elaine Goodale Eastman, 1885-91, Gretchen Bataille Jan 1979

[Review Of] Kay Graber (Ed.), Sister To The Sioux: The Memoirs Of Elaine Goodale Eastman, 1885-91, Gretchen Bataille

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Elaine Goodale Eastman was a white woman from the East who decided early in her life that her “mission” was to educate the Sioux Indians of the Dakotas. The memoirs, published in 1978, were written in the thirties from notes and diaries kept by the writer from 1885-1891. Thus, there are three distinct periods of time the contemporary reader must consider.

[Review Of] John L. Hodge, Donald K. Struckmann, And Lynn Dorland Trost, Cultural Bases Of Racism And Group Oppression: An Examination Of Traditional "Western" Concepts, Values, And Institutional Structures Which Support Racism, Sexism And Elitism, Lillie Alexis Jan 1979

[Review Of] John L. Hodge, Donald K. Struckmann, And Lynn Dorland Trost, Cultural Bases Of Racism And Group Oppression: An Examination Of Traditional "Western" Concepts, Values, And Institutional Structures Which Support Racism, Sexism And Elitism, Lillie Alexis

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Dualism, a concept that simply tends to view the world in terms of “either-or” categories rather than “both . . . and,” has been examined and analyzed as the primary contributor to and cause of Western domination. The dangers of dualistic thinking are, according to Hodge et al., habit forming and unconscious. The Western practitioners of such thinking trace their ideology to the ancient Greek philosophers whose ideas support and reinforce existing oppressive patterns.
