[Review Of] Crawford Young. Ethnic Diversity And Public Policy: A Comparative Inquiry, Kasturi Dasgupta
[Review Of] Crawford Young. Ethnic Diversity And Public Policy: A Comparative Inquiry, Kasturi Dasgupta
Ethnic Studies Review
As we come to the end of the millennium, contrary to the more democratic and progressive aspirations of earlier decades, ethnicity continues to define political and social alliances in the struggle for power and survival. Ethnic Diversity and Public Policy, edited by Crawford Young, is a timely collection of articles which address key policies growing out of the paramount need facing nations to deal with this primordial yet potent reality. The articles follow the basic premise underscored by Young -- that ethnic crises reflect "profound failures of statecraft" and that "the state remains the ineluctable locus of policy response," Accordingly, …
[Review Of] T. M. Singelis, Ed. Teaching About Culture, Ethnicity, And Diversity: Exercises And Planned Activities, Beate Baltes
[Review Of] T. M. Singelis, Ed. Teaching About Culture, Ethnicity, And Diversity: Exercises And Planned Activities, Beate Baltes
Ethnic Studies Review
Professors and students of teacher education can always appreciate theoretical discussions of multicultural education in books and journal articles. Even more useful are concrete examples such as the multicultural lesson plans in Sleeter's Turning on Learning (1998) and the case studiesin Nieto's Affirming Diversity (2000). Teacher-credential students find the lesson plans illustrative and relate to the students' stories in the case studies. Singelis' book Teaching about Culture, Ethnicity, and Diversity goes a step further in providing professors and students with experiences and hands-on activities that should help to enhance the sensitivity of teacher-credential students towards cross-cultural differences and help them …
A Historical Perspective On The Development Of An Ethnic Minority Consciousness In The Spanish-Language Press Of The Southwest, Nicolás Kanellos
A Historical Perspective On The Development Of An Ethnic Minority Consciousness In The Spanish-Language Press Of The Southwest, Nicolás Kanellos
Ethnic Studies Review
Various scholars have treated ethnic newspapers in the United States as if they all have evolved from an immigrant press.(i) While one may accept their analysis of the functions of the ethnic press, there is a substantial and qualitative difference between newspapers that were built on an immigration base and those that developed from the experience of colonialism and racial oppression. Hispanics were subjected to "racialization"(ii) for more than a century through such doctrines as the Spanish Black Legend and Manifest Destiny during the nineteenth and early twentieth century. They were conquered and incorporated into the United States and then …
"Not Another Multicultural Workshop" (Sigh): Why Teachers Feel Intimidated By More And More Workshops In Multicultural Education, Beate Baltes
Ethnic Studies Review
Many educators consider themselves sensitive to diversity issues in one way or another. However, it is not uncommon for some teachers to feel intimidated by more and more staff development programs in multicultural education that they are urged or compelled to attend. This article suggests ways in which multicultural education workshops could be made meaningful for them.
[Review Of] Lean'tin L. Bracks. Writings On Black Women Of The Diaspora: History, Language, And Identity. Crosscurrents In African American History, Vol I, Helen Lock
Ethnic Studies Review
In her "Preface" to this study, Lean'tin Bracks describes her purpose as being "to describe a model which may provide for today's black woman a means to take control of her destiny by retrieving her Afrocentric legacy from the obscured past" (xi). This model, which she applies through discussions of The History of Mary Prince, a West Indian Slave, Related by Herself (1831), Toni Morrison's Beloved (1988), Alice Walker's The Color Purple (1982, and Paule Marshall's Praisesong for the Widow (1984), is tripartite: "historical awareness, attention to linguistic pattern, and sensitivity to stereotypes in the dominant culture" (xi).
Sports And The Politics Of Identity And Memory: The Case Of Federal Indian Boarding Schools During The 1930s, John Bloom
Sports And The Politics Of Identity And Memory: The Case Of Federal Indian Boarding Schools During The 1930s, John Bloom
Ethnic Studies Review
The federal government of the United States developed a complex System of boarding schools for Native Americans in the 19(th) century. This effort was generally insensitive and often brutal. In spite of such brutality many students managed to negotiate and create new understandings of traditions and cultural autonomy while in such schools. Now, however, some former students remember their lives as students with mixed emotions. Drawing on oral history interviews and public official documents, the author examines the recreational and athletic life at the boarding schools and finds that students were, nevertheless, able to experience pleasure and pride in creating …
[Review Of] Ray Allen And Lois Wilken, Island Sounds In The Global City: Caribbean Popular Music And Identity In New York, Kenneth Dossar
[Review Of] Ray Allen And Lois Wilken, Island Sounds In The Global City: Caribbean Popular Music And Identity In New York, Kenneth Dossar
Ethnic Studies Review
In putting together Island Sounds in the Global City: Caribbean Popular Music and Identity in New York, editors Ray Allen and Lois Wilcken were undaunted by the enormity of their tasks of contextualizing and capsulizing the breadth of Latin American and Caribbean popular music, and exploring the complex nexus between these musics and ethnic identity in New York City. By eliding these tasks the editors facilitated their work.
[Review Of] Ramsay Burt. Alien Bodies: Representations Of Modernity, Race, And Nation In Early Modern Dance, Joanne F. Henry
[Review Of] Ramsay Burt. Alien Bodies: Representations Of Modernity, Race, And Nation In Early Modern Dance, Joanne F. Henry
Ethnic Studies Review
In Alien Bodies, Burt uses interdisciplinary methods to consider the issues of modernity and modernism in relation to the work of several makers of early modern dance. In nine chapters, he carefully examines the social constructions of nation, race, class, and gender as they were inscribed upon the dancing body. The Atlantic is the space and the period between the two great wars the time of this book's focus.
[Review Of] Henry (Yoshitaka) Kiyama. The Four Immigrants Manga: A Japanese Experience In San Francisco, 1904-1924, Translated By Frederik L. Schadt, Nobuko Adachi
Ethnic Studies Review
This historically important document is a translation of a humorous comic book published in 1931 based on the experiences of the author, Henry (Yoshitaka) Kiyama, as he immigrated to the United States. Kiyama crossed the ocean from Japan to study art in San Francisco in 1904, at the age of nineteen. Upon his arrival he worked as a house servant during the day and went to school at night. It is not well known here, but until the Second World War a large number of Japanese immigrants came to mainland America with student visas rather than work permits; many of …

[Review Of] Tracy Mishkin. The Harlem And Irish Renaissances: Language, Identity, And Representation, Jennifer Schulz
[Review Of] Tracy Mishkin. The Harlem And Irish Renaissances: Language, Identity, And Representation, Jennifer Schulz
Ethnic Studies Review
The very title of Tracy Mishkin's The Harlem and Irish Renaissances: Language, Identity, and Representation would fill any scholar of either movement with skepticism. To draw parallels among turn of the century Anglo-Irish writers' efforts to represent and revitalize the identity and language of Irish culture (which must take into account the often divergent political and social interests of myriad groups: Gaelic nationalists and Catholic-Irish peasantry, just to name two) with early twentieth-century African American and black immigrant intellectuals' self-conscious construction of a race capital and cultural movement in the midst of Jim Crow legislation and renewed vehemence of nativist …
[Review Of] John W. Ravage. Black Pioneers: Images Of The Black Experiences On The North American Frontier, Nudie Eugene Williams
[Review Of] John W. Ravage. Black Pioneers: Images Of The Black Experiences On The North American Frontier, Nudie Eugene Williams
Ethnic Studies Review
This scholarly study is a welcome effort to broaden the horizon of what many Americans have come to believe are the true westering experiences. It began with the early western images created in dime store novels and brought to life on the movie screen. The featured settlers, cowboys, outlaws, and other heroes were generally white. In this scenario, the frontier was tamed by strong willed white men while the role of African Americans in the "western United States and Canada and Alaska" was largely ignored (xv).
[Review Of] Magdalena J. Zaborowska, Ed. Other Americans, Other Americas: The Politics And Poetics Of Multiculturalism, Phillipa Kafka
[Review Of] Magdalena J. Zaborowska, Ed. Other Americans, Other Americas: The Politics And Poetics Of Multiculturalism, Phillipa Kafka
Ethnic Studies Review
The editor of this text, Magdalene J. Zaborowska of Aarhus University, is a respected feminist specialist in ethnic American studies. In her introduction she provides readers with an admirably concise overview of the history of the multicultural movement and the current state of the recent multicultural wars over curriculum, literature, and the canon in the United States. Zaborowska chose the essays in this anthology because they focus on the multicultural reality that always has existed in the United States rather than on monolithic "essentialist representations of history and national identity" characteristic of previous American literary history.
[Review Of] William S. Penn, Ed. As We Are Now, Maurice M. Martinez
[Review Of] William S. Penn, Ed. As We Are Now, Maurice M. Martinez
Ethnic Studies Review
There is an old spoken French Creole proverb that goes: Bay Kou Bile, Pote `Mak Soje' (He who strikes the blow forgets, he who bears the marks remembers). As We Are Now is a book of essays that reveals hidden memories retained in the collective conscience of many of America's indigenous peoples who bear the painful marks of past history. The thirteen contributors discuss and analyze mainstream American responses to the act of cross-fertilization, an act of love by persons from different ethnic and cultural backgrounds who dared to intermarry or bond with an underclass -- people of color. Their …
Giving Oral Expression "Free Rein": Implications For Diversity Of University Hate Speech Code, Tim A. Pilgrim
Giving Oral Expression "Free Rein": Implications For Diversity Of University Hate Speech Code, Tim A. Pilgrim
Ethnic Studies Review
This paper uses history, law, and First Amendment theory to examine the concepts of political correctness, free speech, and hate speech in a search for a solution of how best to deal with hate speech incidents that occur in the university campus community. The paper notes the American tendency toward tyranny of the majority as noted by Alexis de Tocqueville in the 1830s and then proceeds to examine the double-edged sword of free speech. By guaranteeing freedom of speech we promote the right to shout down ethnic and other minority groups; by providing penalties against those who use it to …
[Review Of] Nathan Glazer. We Are All Multicultural Now, Jonathan A. Majak
[Review Of] Nathan Glazer. We Are All Multicultural Now, Jonathan A. Majak
Ethnic Studies Review
Some of the readers familiar with Nathan Glazer's writings may be surprised or intrigued, as the case may be, by his latest book, We Are All Multiculturalists Now. That title seems quite an extraordinary declaration from a man who became known in the 1980s for his neoconservatism as well as for his persistent criticism of certain liberal social policies such as affirmative action. Has he finally seen the light? Not exactly. The book is by no means an apologia nor is it a ringing endorsement of multiculturalism either. Indeed, the reader is held in some suspense till the last chapter …
[Review Of] Wahneema Lubiano, Ed. The House That Race Built: Black Americans, U.S. Terrain, Clarence Spigner
[Review Of] Wahneema Lubiano, Ed. The House That Race Built: Black Americans, U.S. Terrain, Clarence Spigner
Ethnic Studies Review
The House that Race Built is a fascinating account of race and racism upon the terrain of United States' culture in the 1990s. Seventeen scholars, brought together at a Race Matters Conference at Princeton University, produced various essays and were evidently given plenty of leeway by the book's editor, Wahneema Lubiano. Various disciplines of law, history, sociology, fine arts, ethnic studies, literature, divinity, and politics are represented. Contributors addressed issues ranging from homosexuality, affirmative action, O.J. Simpson and religion, to perspectives on work vis-a-vis play, culture, Black Nationalism, whiteness, crime, and the black diaspora. A common denominator, in my view, …
[Review Of] Julie Brown, Ed. Ethnicity And The American Short Story, Phillipa Kafka
[Review Of] Julie Brown, Ed. Ethnicity And The American Short Story, Phillipa Kafka
Ethnic Studies Review
Replete with essays, all excellent in diverse ways and covering a broad range of American ethnicities, this cutting-edge text successfully answers questions about claims of uniqueness and difference for ethnic American short stories as the grounds for inclusion in critical discussions of the genre.
[Review Of] Clyde Holler. Black Elk's Religion: The Sun Dance And Lakota Catholicism, David M. Gradwohl
[Review Of] Clyde Holler. Black Elk's Religion: The Sun Dance And Lakota Catholicism, David M. Gradwohl
Ethnic Studies Review
Few, if any, American Indian individuals are more widely known in the United States than the Lakota holy man, Black Elk (1863-1950). His story, particularly as presented by John Neihardt in Black Elk Speaks, has been required reading for legions of students taking classes in literature, religion, anthropology, and American Indian Studies. Scholars in those fields have generated a body of critical literature which has taken on a life of its own as Neihardt's book, originally published in 1931, has been reprinted in paperback editions many times since 1960. During the 1970s, Neihardt appeared on the Dick Cavett show and, …
[Review Of] Jacqueline Jones Royster, Ed. Southern Horrors And Other Writings: The Anti-Lynching Campaign Of Ida B. Wells, 1892-1900, George H. Junne Jr
[Review Of] Jacqueline Jones Royster, Ed. Southern Horrors And Other Writings: The Anti-Lynching Campaign Of Ida B. Wells, 1892-1900, George H. Junne Jr
Ethnic Studies Review
Ida B. Wells (Barnett) was the first writer to document the lynchings of African Americans. Born in 1862, at age sixteen she had to raise her four brothers and sisters after the 1878 deaths of her parents. Still, she managed to attend Rust College and Fisk University. While teaching school in Memphis, Wells first began writing articles for a church newspaper and then contributed to other Baptist newspapers. She used the pen name of "Iola," and the popularity of her articles led to her becoming co-owner of the Memphis Free Speech and Headlight in 1889. It was the lynching of …
Editor's Note, Faythe Tumer
Editor's Note, Faythe Tumer
Ethnic Studies Review
This issue of the Journal of the National Association of Ethnic Studies presents an interesting cross section of ethnic groups in the United States: Native American, Vietnamese, Latino, African American. Several of the articles involving these groups raise the persistent question of assimilation versus acculturation and where the health and welfare of the children of immigrants or the younger generation of immigrants lies. Shaw N. Gynan in "Hispanic Immigration and Spanish Maintenance as Indirect Measures of Ethnicity: Reality and Perceptions" has found that the newest generation of Latinos not only are more involved ethnically with their Spanish heritage than earlier …
[Review Of] Brooks Thomas, Ed. Plessy V. Ferguson: A Brief History With Document, George H. Junne Jr
[Review Of] Brooks Thomas, Ed. Plessy V. Ferguson: A Brief History With Document, George H. Junne Jr
Ethnic Studies Review
One hundred years ago the Supreme court of the United States of America ruled in the case of Plessy vs. Ferguson that "separate but equal" was the law of the land. The high court finally decided in the 1954 case of Brown vs. Board of Education, Topeka, Kansas, that Plessy was unconstitutional. In his delivery of the Brown decision Mr. Chief Justice Earl Warren wrote: "We conclude that in the field of public education the doctrine of `separate but equal' has no place. Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal."
National Traitors In Chicano Culture And Literature: Malinche And Chicano Homosexuals, Alma Rosa Alvarez
National Traitors In Chicano Culture And Literature: Malinche And Chicano Homosexuals, Alma Rosa Alvarez
Ethnic Studies Review
This article examines the literary representation of a treatment of homosexuality in Mexican/Chicano culture. In this study, Alvarez argues that this cultural treatment is rooted in the gender paradigm central to Mexican/Chicano culture: the narrative of La Malinche.
Community Versus Assimilation: A Study In American Assimilation At Saint Joseph's Indian Industrial School, Sarah Shillinger
Community Versus Assimilation: A Study In American Assimilation At Saint Joseph's Indian Industrial School, Sarah Shillinger
Ethnic Studies Review
No govemment policy has had more of an impact on American Indians than the boarding school movement of the early to mid-twentieth century. This movement isolated American Indian children from their homes and communities and attempted to assimilate them into European-American society. This article studies the effects of this policy on children at the Saint Joseph's Indian Industrial School in Wisconsin. It uses oral history to recapture the voices and experiences of teachers and students. The use of oral history allows a comprehensive understanding of the cultural, social and academic atmosphere of the school.
[Review Of] Kyeyoung Park. The Korean American Dream: Immigrants And Small Business In New York City, Robert Mark Silverman
[Review Of] Kyeyoung Park. The Korean American Dream: Immigrants And Small Business In New York City, Robert Mark Silverman
Ethnic Studies Review
Kyeyoung Park illustrates how the Korean American dream emerges from a harsh reality. Park's central argument is that Korean immigrant adjustment is driven by an ideology of self-help. Within the context of this ideology, Korean immigrants see a close connection between entrepreneurial activity and basic survival in America. It is argued that the primacy of establishing one's own small business in order to generate stability and security has an overarching influence on the activities of individual Korean immigrants and the Korean American community in general. From this premise, Park describes how the preoccupation with entrepreneurship for subsistence shapes various spheres …
[Review Of] Elionne Belden. Claiming Chinese Identity, Russell Endo
[Review Of] Elionne Belden. Claiming Chinese Identity, Russell Endo
Ethnic Studies Review
Thirty years ago, when the field of Asian American studies was in its infancy, identity was one of the subjects that received much attention. Since then, a good deal of research on or related to identity has been conducted, and, in the past few years, several significant pieces of work have been published. Claiming Chinese Identity is not among the latter.
An Examination Of Social Adaptation Processes Of Vietnamese Adolescents, Fayneese Miller, My Do, Jason Sperber
An Examination Of Social Adaptation Processes Of Vietnamese Adolescents, Fayneese Miller, My Do, Jason Sperber
Ethnic Studies Review
The purpose of the study was to examine the factors that affect the ways in which Vietnamese youth feel about themselves and their "place" in society. More specifically, the purpose was to determine the relationship between sociocultural factors (L e. language proficiency, length of residence, socioeconomic class, ethnic identity, and cultural continuity) and such person-oriented variables as depression and alienation. Thrity-one college and fifteen high school students responded to a series of questions about themselves, family, relationships, personality, and achievement motivation. It was found that perceived problems with one's ethnic group, cultural continuity, and parental attitudes toward schooling significantly predicted …
[Review Of] Linda Mack Schloff. "And Prairie Dogs Weren't Kosher": Jewish Women In The Upper Midwest Since 1855, David M. Gradwohl
[Review Of] Linda Mack Schloff. "And Prairie Dogs Weren't Kosher": Jewish Women In The Upper Midwest Since 1855, David M. Gradwohl
Ethnic Studies Review
Wit and wisdom permeate this tome from its wonderful title to the end of the last chapter. The idea of Jews even considering the possibility of consuming brisket of prairie dog (without the cream gravy, of course) is hilarious. But behind this humor is the serious question of why the matter would even be considered. The book's title comes from the child of early Jewish immigrants of South Dakota recalling "my parents got tired of eating potatoes, and prairie dogs weren't kosher."
