[Review Of] Richard E. Meyer, Ed. Cemeteries And Gravemarkers: Voices Of American Culture, David M. Gradwohl
[Review Of] Richard E. Meyer, Ed. Cemeteries And Gravemarkers: Voices Of American Culture, David M. Gradwohl
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
The twelve individual essays contained in this volume were originally presented as papers in the Cemeteries and Gravestones Section at a conference of the American Culture Association. A short foreword by James Deetz, an early leader in the anthropological study of New England cemeteries from the colonial period, provides some instructive initial insights into the wealth of cultural information which can be derived from the study of mortuary behavior in the United States. Meyer's thoughtful introduction and his topical bibliography, though not exhaustive, will be of considerable utility for those wishing to pursue the research topic further. An index along …
[Review Of] Gail H. Landsman, Sovereignty And Symbol: Indian-White Conflict At Ganienkeh, Ronald N. Satz
[Review Of] Gail H. Landsman, Sovereignty And Symbol: Indian-White Conflict At Ganienkeh, Ronald N. Satz
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Anthropologist Landsman has written a fascinating study about the events surrounding the seizure of a 612-acre abandoned girls' camp in upstate New York in May 1974 by a group of Mohawks who named their settlement Ganienkeh. The ensuing Indian-white land dispute eventually culminated in the relocation of the Indians to parkland near the Canadian border in 1978 as a result of a unique arrangement, the Turtle Island Trust Agreement, which for "charitable, religious and educational purposes" under New York State law established "a permanent, non-reservation settlement of Indians claiming sovereign status."
[Review Of] Milton Murayama. All I Asking For Is My Body, S. E. Solberg
[Review Of] Milton Murayama. All I Asking For Is My Body, S. E. Solberg
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
In little over a decade this short novel has become a classic, developing a dedicated following, not only in Asian American communities and literature programs, but also in traditional literature programs alongside books such as Huckleberry Finn where the strategies are the same: the view of the world through the clear eye of youth, the puncturing of both pretense and pretension by the view from the bottom up.
[Review Of] Carolyn Martindale. The White Press And Black America, Allene Jones
[Review Of] Carolyn Martindale. The White Press And Black America, Allene Jones
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
The White Press and Black America chronicles the many deficiencies of press coverage of black America. Martindale, an assistant professor of journalism at Youngstown State University, has worked as a newspaper reporter and section editor and has published articles in several scholarly journals. She is to be commended for her compelling and informative book.
Critique [Of National Newspaper Analysis Of The Press Coverage Of Jesse Jackson's 1984 Presidential Campaign: The Confirmation Of The Candidate By J. Gregory Payne, Scott C. Ratzan, And Robert A. Baukus], Roberta J. Astroff
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The basic tenets for this article appear to be the following: "objective" news is possible; that "solely present[ing] facts" equals objectivity; and that "colorblind" news is even a possibility in this society.

[Review Of] Gary Soto. Lesser Evils: Ten Quartets, Carl R. Shirley
[Review Of] Gary Soto. Lesser Evils: Ten Quartets, Carl R. Shirley
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
This volume continues in the same vein as Small Faces, but here the poetic voice is more mature, more reflective. There are forty autobiographical essays treating many of the subjects of Faces: Soto’s wife and daughter, his pets (both present and past), friendships, recollections of his childhood and teen years, sex, and the details of his everyday life. There are also two movie reviews and an account of the writing of a review of a bad novel. The essays are grouped in fours, but they are not presented chronologically, and thus can be read in any order. Each of the …

[Review Of] Donald B. Smith. Sacred Feathers: The Reverend Peter Jones (Kahkewaquonaby) And The Missisauga Indians, Kristin Herzog
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
This excellent historical study will make a contribution in various fields: American Indian missions, Canadian history and Indian policy, history of Methodism, theory of acculturation, and -- in terms of Peter Jones's wife -- women's studies.
[Review Of] Gary Soto. Small Faces, Carl R. Shirley
[Review Of] Gary Soto. Small Faces, Carl R. Shirley
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
This slim, superb collection is Soto's second foray into the field of prose (Living Up The Street: Narrative Recollections was the 1985 American Book Award winner). The thirty-one vignettes in Small Faces, written in December, 1983, and between June and August, 1984, are imbued with warmth, charm, and nostalgia. They touch subjects such as human nature, human relationships, and love, all from a very personal viewpoint that of the author. During the course of the book, we come to know the poet, his wife and daughter, and his friends. Selections treat the narrator's college days, travel, poetry and philosophy, as …
[Review Of] Howard L. Harrod. Renewing The World, Raymond A. Bucko
[Review Of] Howard L. Harrod. Renewing The World, Raymond A. Bucko
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Howard Harrod's work provides an interpretation of the religious and moral world of the Arapaho, Crow, Cheyenne and Blackfeet tribes of the Northwestern Plains. Well aware that the material he is utilizing represents interpretations by early ethnographers, he transcends this hermeneutical problem to provide an idealized reconstruction of this world guided by the theories of Schutz and Geertz and the work of Joseph Brown.
[Review Of] Jo Ann Robinson. The Montgomery Bus Boycott And The Women Who Started It: The Memoirs Of Jo Ann Gibson Robinson, Keith D. Miller, Elizabeth Vander Lei
[Review Of] Jo Ann Robinson. The Montgomery Bus Boycott And The Women Who Started It: The Memoirs Of Jo Ann Gibson Robinson, Keith D. Miller, Elizabeth Vander Lei
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Jo Ann Robinson, a major organizer of the Montgomery bus boycott, offers a new and convincing account of the origins of the protest that triggered the entire civil rights movement and launched the career of Martin Luther King, Jr. In an absorbing, first-hand narrative, the dignified and unassuming Robinson focuses on the role of the Women's Political Council (WPC) and details the WPC's plans to engineer a boycott months before the heralded arrest of Rosa Parks.

[Review Of] Vi Hilbert, Tr. And Ed. Haboo: Native American Stories From Puget Sound, James Ruppert
[Review Of] Vi Hilbert, Tr. And Ed. Haboo: Native American Stories From Puget Sound, James Ruppert
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Vi Hilbert, a Skagit Indian of the Northern Lushootseed of Western Washington, has collected and edited thirty-three fine examples of Salish oral literature. As an instructor in Lushootseed Salish language and literature at the University of Washington, she has had excellent opportunities to collect material and work out a presentational form in English. This volume collects stories from the Myth Age with special emphasis on Raven, Mink and Coyote stories. These stories, largely "light and humorous," explore the actions of beings with human and animal characteristics who existed before the world was transformed into the world we see today. Hilbert …

[Review Of] Julio A. Martinez And Francisco A. Lomeli. Chicano Literature: A Reference Guide, Cortland P. Auser
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
The editors in attempting to cover Chicano literature written since 1848 by Americans of Mexican descent have done a fine service for all students of American literature whether they are specialists or generalists, tyros or scholars. The work in more than one way provides a comprehensive reference guide.
[Review Of] Rene Maran. Batouala, Angelo Costanzo
[Review Of] Rene Maran. Batouala, Angelo Costanzo
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
This book is a long-neglected product of the 1920s negritude movement, in which a new kind of primi ti vis tic in terest concerning the lives of black men and women in the African Diaspora took hold in the literary words of Europe and America. Batouala was written in French by Rene Maran, an Afro-Caribbean writer living in Paris in the 1920s, who had worked for several years in what was then known as French Equatorial Africa. This edition is a reprint of a 1972 English translation that adheres to the lyrical, sensuous style of Maran's prose and that follows …

[Review Of] Peter Balakian. Reply From Wilderness Island, Margaret Bedrosian
[Review Of] Peter Balakian. Reply From Wilderness Island, Margaret Bedrosian
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Reply from Wilderness Island is Peter Balakian's third published collection of poetry. As with his two earlier works, Father Fisheye (1979) and Sad Days of Light (1983), this most recent one brings together the personal and the historical, as the poet further discovers connections between an American identity and an Armenian ancestry. The first section of the volume is a series of poems about the poet's late father.
[Review Of] Okah Tubbee. The Life Of Okah Tubbee, William A. Bloodworth Jr
[Review Of] Okah Tubbee. The Life Of Okah Tubbee, William A. Bloodworth Jr
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
It is difficult to know what to make of The Life of Okah Tubbee because it is difficult to know what to make of Okah Tubbee. In the 1840s and 1850s he was a performing musician, a ventriloquist, and an "Indian doctor." He claimed to be a Choctaw chief’s son who, somehow, had begun life as a slave in Natchez, Mississippi. His autobiography, possibly written by his wife (possibly of Delaware and Mohawk extraction), appeared in several formats and editions in 1848 and 1852.

Critique [Of Jewish Studies: Are They Ethnic? By Howard Adelman], Victoria Aarons
Critique [Of Jewish Studies: Are They Ethnic? By Howard Adelman], Victoria Aarons
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Adelman's historical account of the rise and development of Jewish studies in European and American universities has implications not only for the current debate regarding the appropriateness and place of Jewish studies programs in the academy but also for the place of ethnic studies in university curricula in general. I believe the most compelling argument against ethnic studies programs in higher education charges them with institutionalizing specific ideologies and thus undermining the self-critical investigation of divergent positions within a traditional discipline. But this charge raises an equally troublesome presupposition : that courses of study can and should be compartmentalized into …
Critique [Of Asians, Jews, And The Legacy Of Midas By Alan Spector], Steve Gold
Critique [Of Asians, Jews, And The Legacy Of Midas By Alan Spector], Steve Gold
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
In reading Alan Spector's paper, I was reminded of British sociologist Christie Davies' cross-national analysis of ethnic jokes. In it, she argues that majority members of a society stereotype others in order to reduce their own anxiety about social position. Davies found that such jokes tend to fall into either one of two catagories [categories]. The first and most common type of ethnic joke addresses those groups who live below one's own station in life.[1] By referring to them, one can elevate his/her own status and hence feel a bit more secure. A second type of joke ridicules groups who …
Critique [Of Asians, Jews, And The Legacy Of Midas By Alan Spector], Barbara L. Hiura
Critique [Of Asians, Jews, And The Legacy Of Midas By Alan Spector], Barbara L. Hiura
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The author of "Asians, Jews, and the Legacy of Midas" presents a provocative comparative analysis of Asians and Jews. Spector utilizes both a cultural and economic basis for understanding the function of Asian stereotyping and applies his analysis to the Jewish situation. While the American context provides the locus of his research, he does present his argument in an international context. Spector illustrates how the categorization of Asians and Jews as the "model" for economic success is dehumanizing as such a perception "drain(s) the life out of human beings and concretizes them into non-human statues." The conclusion of this author's …
Equity And Excellence In Education--Compatible Concepts Or Hostile Abstractions?, Theresa E. Mccormick
Equity And Excellence In Education--Compatible Concepts Or Hostile Abstractions?, Theresa E. Mccormick
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Since 1983, with the publication of five well-known national reports calling for reform in education,[2] the later release of other reports by prestigious groups (such as the Carnegie Task Force on Teaching as a Profession and the Holmes Group), and the enactment of approximately 700 state statutes focused on school reform,[3] the push for excellence has overshadowed earlier commitments to equity in schools. As Orlich writes, "In at least one instance, implementing the proposals of these two groups [Carnegie and Holmes] would have the same undesirable effect: reducing the number of minority teachers from few to virtually none."[4] This movement …
Asians, Jews, And The Legacy Of Midas, Alan Spector
Asians, Jews, And The Legacy Of Midas, Alan Spector
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
In much of the U.S. media today, Asian-Americans are being hailed as the new "wonder group." Local newspapers seem to be filled with articles about how this student from Pakistan won the spelling bee and that student from Japan won the math contest. Weekly news magazines carry articles extolling this phenomenon, and many liberals and conservatives alike enthusiastically promote the stereotype: liberals because it combats the racist myth that people of color are intellectually inferior to Euro-Americans ("whites") and conservatives because it can be used to promote the idea that any ethnic group can make it if only they work …
The Merging Of Traditional Chinese Medicine And Western Medicine In China: Old Ideas Cross-Culturally Communicated Through New Perspectives, James A. Schnell
The Merging Of Traditional Chinese Medicine And Western Medicine In China: Old Ideas Cross-Culturally Communicated Through New Perspectives, James A. Schnell
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The People's Republic of China is engaged in reforms which involve development of its economic, cultural, educational, and political processes. The need for reform has been realized as China has fallen behind the development of the western world in many areas. China closed its doors to the outside world in 1949, and it experienced limited interaction with the outside world until reform began in 1979.

National Newspaper Analysis Of The Press Coverage Of Jesse Jackson's 1984 Presidential Campaign: The Confirmation Of The Candidate, J. Gregory Payne, Scott C. Ratzan, Robert A. Baukus
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Jesse Jackson's 1984 and 1988 presidential campaigns have motivated thousands of citizens throughout America to take a more active role in politics. The 1984 campaign witnessed many previously unregistered Americans actively participating in Jackson's call to join the "Rainbow Coalition." Four years later, Jackson once again hit a responsive chord within the American electorate, broadening his support base in his second run for the White House. His vibrant campaigns presented challenges not only to the American system of government, but also to accepted journalistic traditions in campaign reporting. Specifically, the dilemma has been a difficult one for journalists responsible for …
[Review Of] Michelle Maria Cruz Skinner. Balikbayan / A Filipino Homecoming, Oscar V. Campomanes
[Review Of] Michelle Maria Cruz Skinner. Balikbayan / A Filipino Homecoming, Oscar V. Campomanes
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Homecoming is that eternal and unrealizable dream for expatriated Filipinos, from the migrant workers of the 1930s to the skilled and professional immigrants of the last two decades. Sheer economic hardship or cultural estrangement after relocation consign them to limbo and leave-taking. Homecoming becomes an act to be imagined; a dream pursued by Carlos Bulosan in his village stories and 1950s novella, The Power of the People; a hope nursed by the "hurt men" of Bienvenido Santos's Scent of Apples (1981); an experience textualized by Ninotchka Rosca's account of the 1986 Four-Day Revolt in Endgame: The Fall of Marcos.
[Review Of] Michael Thelwell. Duties, Pleasures, And Conflicts: Essays In Struggle, Samuel Hinton
[Review Of] Michael Thelwell. Duties, Pleasures, And Conflicts: Essays In Struggle, Samuel Hinton
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Duties, Pleasures, and Conflicts is a collection of previously published material on related issues, different genres and varied circumstances written over many years. If a good book is one that can evoke interest and response in the reader while at the same time relaying some sort of message, this book ranks in that category.

[Review Of] Rodolfo O. De La Garza, Ed. Ignored Voices: Public Opinion Polls And The Latino Community, Richard Santillan
[Review Of] Rodolfo O. De La Garza, Ed. Ignored Voices: Public Opinion Polls And The Latino Community, Richard Santillan
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
The past several years have witnessed the publication of a handful of books and articles focusing on Latino politics in the United States. These studies fall into three general categories: the first type of research attempts to shatter the popular myths about the lack of political sophistication among Latinos by discussing institutional obstacles which hinder Latino political aspirations; the second kind of study documents the rich organizational history of Latinos over the past century; the third type of literature promotes a variety of theoretical models as a way to explain the lack of influence of Latinos on the electoral process.
