The Co-Opting Of Ethnic Studies In The American University: A Critical View, Jesse M. Vazquez
The Co-Opting Of Ethnic Studies In The American University: A Critical View, Jesse M. Vazquez
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The birth of ethnic studies in the American university was accompanied by the politics and pedagogy of rage, pride, and mistrust for the then prevailing curricular academic structures and its tradition-bound, academically conservative gatekeepers. The campus take-overs, student demands, and confrontations were a common expression of the times, and concomitantly these were also shapers of the changing times. The presence or absence of ethnic minority faculty and students in our universities was and continues to be one of many indices by which we measure the willingness of this society to live up to its responsibility and promise to guarantee expanding …

Ethnic Studies In The Twenty-First Century: A Proposal, Charles C. Irby
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
If you will consider the dualistic thinking which undergirds Western philosophical tradition, then it comes as a surprise to no one that the periodization of history is based on white male experiences as the sum of western civilization, especially the glorification of war and the celebration of unbridled "raw-power." So, too, it is not surprising that Aristotelian logic and Cartesian metaphysics form the godhead for monocultural and unisexual education in U.S. society, which is at the least bisexual and multicultural. For a decade-and-a-half now, ethnic, minority, and women's studies proponents have suggested that their purposes for existence were to challenge …

Ethnic Studies Past And Present: Towards Shaping The Future, Otis L. Scott
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Ethnic Studies as a curriculum at predominantly white colleges and universities remains a relatively new phenomenon in academe. The recent history of these formations can be traced back to the several social change movements of the 1960s. These changes, spearheaded by the civil rights movement and the black student protests in the South in early 1960s, provided the impetus for the social change spillover which many college and university campuses were to experience in earnest beginning with the mid-1960s.[1]

Ethnic And Women's Studies: An Attempt At Educating The Academy, Lillian H. Jones
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
As I have written before in other places, the Ethnic and Women's Studies Department at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona is a unique academic department in its history, structure, and ultimately in its agenda. The fact that Ethnic and Women's Studies are combined in a setting where the two disciplines are more frequently suspicious if not hostile to each other is unusual and owes its partnership to the history of the university where it exists and to particular individuals who conceived it. This combination, while certainly subject to both political and philosophical criticism from a variety of voices and interests, …
Inter-Ethnic Issues In Lorraine Hansberry's The Sign In Sidney Brustein's Window By Steven R. Carter, Steven R. Carter
Inter-Ethnic Issues In Lorraine Hansberry's The Sign In Sidney Brustein's Window By Steven R. Carter, Steven R. Carter
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
When Lorraine Hansberry's second produced play, The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window, opened on Broadway in 1964, some white critics expressed surprise that her protagonist was Jewish rather than black and some blacks were disappointed or even outraged by this, feeling that she was deserting the "cause" and trying too hard to win acclaim as a "universal" writer.[1] Others from both groups, of course, warmly defended her.
Critique [Of The Effects Of Reading Ethnic Literature On The Attitudes Of Adolescents By Joan Wynne Sullivan], Angelo A. Giugliano
Critique [Of The Effects Of Reading Ethnic Literature On The Attitudes Of Adolescents By Joan Wynne Sullivan], Angelo A. Giugliano
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The intent of Joan Sullivan's project as described in this article is one that can only be applauded -- working toward minimizing ethnocentrism and xenophobia must be seen as a sine quo non for a nation or a school community which aspires to realize a democratic ideology. Furthermore, there is no more important an age group on which to focus this project than that of the adolescent who is on the threshhold [threshold] of adult freedom and responsibility. Finally, educating the imagination toward a more just society for all through literature is a most meaningful use of the secondary school …

Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Carter's analysis of the varied ethnic backgrounds of the characters in this play demonstrates Hansberry's commitment to a multiethnic society. Ethnicity is also clearly a factor in the complexity of the individual characters themselves, and in their interaction. Carter further gives a credible rationale (documented by quotations from Robert Nemiroff’s correspondence) for Hansberry's choice of Sidney, a Jew, as the vehicle for her message.

The Effects Of Reading Ethnic Literature On The Attitudes Of Adolescents, Joan Wynne Sullivan
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The first statement reflects one student's vision of her world and her solution to one problem in that world. Written in an essay which asked white students for their reactions to having Vietnamese in their school, the statement reveals a limited view of the world and possibly a parroting of community rhetoric. The second statement is an oral response by the same student taped during her reading of a novel which dealt with ethnic issues. Her revised perception indicating the need for a new look at other ethnic groups, rather than an expulsion of them from the country, suggests the …

Crossroads To The 21 St Century: The Evolution Of Ethnic Studies At Bowling Green University, Robert L. Perry, Susan Mae Pauly
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
At Bowling Green State University's Fourth Annual Ethnic Studies Conference, scholar Dr. James A. Banks observed that Bowling Green State University is soon to become the only institution of higher education in the United States to institute a university-wide requirement in cultural diversity. The implementation of this landmark requirement demonstrates the depth and vigor of the commitment to excellence and equity in education held by the University's Department of Ethnic Studies.

Critique [Of From The Ground Up: Multiethnic Literature In The Humanities Curriculum By Margaret Bedrosian], Gloria Eive
Critique [Of From The Ground Up: Multiethnic Literature In The Humanities Curriculum By Margaret Bedrosian], Gloria Eive
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Studies of multi-ethnic literature of the U.S., proposed in "From the Ground Up ..." should be, if they are not already, accepted fields of study in colleges, universities and secondary schools. One would hope that by now, the unique perspective offered by multi-ethnic studies would be appreciated for the insight it offers in understanding the many elements which have created our heritage, history and contemporary "American Society" -- and, by extension, global society as well. One would expect that multi-ethnic studies are, or will soon be requisite in "standard" humanities curricula for the same reasons that courses such as geography, …

Critique [Of From The Ground Up: Multiethnic Literature In The Humanities Curriculum By Margaret Bedrosian], Jim Schnell
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Bedrosian presents an interesting discussion on spiritual dismemberment and a series of subjects which are related to this concept. As a researcher in crosscultural communication, I find the article to be relevant, not only with multi-ethnic literature, but with human communication processes as well.

From The Ground Up: Multiethnic Literature In The Humanities Curriculum, Margaret Bedrosian
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Spiritual dismemberment, which many associate with the plight of disinherited Native Americans, has dislocated millions of others in this country as well. Teaching multi-ethnic literature, I note in particular streams of students who like the narrator of Oritz's poem are lonely for an authentic connection to a personal history. Throughout the term, they read selections which extol or dramatize the palpable struggles of characters who have a strong bond with ethnic traditions. They attend class surrounded by identifiable, certifiable ethnics. They listen to the instructor hold forth on the apocalyptic possibilities open to any who have access to these worldviews. …

Critique [Of From The Ground Up: Multiethnic Literature In The Humanities Curriculum By Margaret Bedrosian], Cortland P. Auser
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The thesis of "From the Ground Up . . ." may be characterized as optimistic, imaginative, and inspirational, viewing as it does the extended role of multiethnic literature in humanities curricula. Unless a humane community, or even a sense of community, as envisioned, is built, the viability of America as a pluralistic nation is very much at risk. Placing the beginning of building such a realization of a "sense of community" upon the individual's responsible actions resulting from the reflection and decision well justifies the title Bedrosian selected.

Critique [Of Implications For Survival: Coping Strategies Of The Women In Alice Walker's Novels By Robbie Jean Walker], Mary F. Sisney
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
An examination of the coping strategies of vulnerable and victimized women characters in Alice Walker's fiction does suggest possibilities for coping with racial oppression. The most oppressed woman in Walker's fiction, however, is not Mem, Margaret, or Celie, but Sofia, the wife of Harpo, Celie's stepson in The Color Purple. Certainly Sofia is one of those "women who are cruelly exploited, spirits and bodies mutilated, relegated to the most narrow and confining lives, sometimes driven to madness." But she is not brutalized by her husband. Her tormentors are much more powerful and, therefore, much more frightening.

Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Overall, the author presents an interesting, readable concept. Considering the popularity of Alice Walker's prize-winning novel, The Color Purple, and its acclaim since being made into a movie, a wider audience and interest in black Americans will pique prospective reader interest in the article.

Abstracts From The Fifteenth Annual Conference On Ethnic And Minority Studies
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Each year the conference organizers attempt to provide a complete overview of the Annual Conference by publishing abstracts of the papers and presentations as well as the comments provided by the respondents to each session. Although we usually fail to get a one hundred percent response, the following abstracts and comments provide an excellent representation of the variety of responses to the conference theme, "Ethnicity: Propaganda, Persuasion, and Political Economy." These statements reflect both pedagogical and theoretical responses to the issues, suggesting directions both for teaching and further research on the topics.
