Critique [Of Puerto Ricans: White Or Non- White? By Robert A. Martinez], Barbara L. Hiura
Critique [Of Puerto Ricans: White Or Non- White? By Robert A. Martinez], Barbara L. Hiura
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Race, class and identity -- key ethnic issues of the 1980s -- have been analyzed from various disciplinary perspectives, and Martinez's article is a contribution to the growing number of written assessments concerning racism and classism in the United States. His research explores the psychological and social perceptions of color, race, identity, and class among Puerto Ricans living in the United States and in Puerto Rico.
The Ethnic Matrix: Implications For Human Service Practitioners, Jesse M. Vazquez
The Ethnic Matrix: Implications For Human Service Practitioners, Jesse M. Vazquez
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Most human services practitioners at one time or another must confront cultural issues which in many ways have a direct impact on their role and effectiveness as helping professionals. This article links the phenomenon of ethnic identity to problems, practices, and policies encountered in the field of human services. Although most of the theoretical concepts presented here are related to counseling psychology and education, other practitioners with culturally diverse client populations will also find the information applicable to their work. The social scientist, teacher and researcher, who is often the disseminator of theoretical and methodological paradigms, should also find these …
Critique [Of Female Power, Ethnicity, And Aging By Linda M. C. Abbott], Faye Pauli Whitaker
Critique [Of Female Power, Ethnicity, And Aging By Linda M. C. Abbott], Faye Pauli Whitaker
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
"Female Power, Ethnicity, and Aging" will surely be of interest to readers of this journal. Scholars in ethnic and women's studies have, no doubt, considered at one time or another the impact of ethnicity and age on the power of women in our culture and have a sense of the negative influence of these factors on women who as a group have marginal status in our power structures. So it is that we are anxious to have our sense of these relationships documented in some way or to have the philosophical implications of the intersections of these factors explored and …

Female Power, Ethnicity, And Aging, Linda M. C. Abbott
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The standard academic presentation on the topic of power rarely alludes to the elderly, ethnic groups, or to females of any age or race. The cultural history of humankind has been one of gross inequities in the distribution of power, and much of this distributional variance has been attributable to the categories of race, gender, and age. When these categories overlap, the impact on individual access to power has been, and continues to be, the greatest.
Critique [Of Identity As Theory And Method For Ethnic Studies By John Hatfield], Jonathan Majak
Critique [Of Identity As Theory And Method For Ethnic Studies By John Hatfield], Jonathan Majak
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
To be human is to have an identity. Indeed, it is what ethnicity is about. However, as a theoretical or methodological prescription for ethnic studies, as advocated by Hatfield, identity is inadequate even within the categories he has specified. Hatfield seems to be asking theoretical analysts to do what artists, novelists, and philosophers do best because they explore the existential and phenomenological aspects of ethnic identity in depth and usually with greater authenticity. This does not mean that there is no need for self-discovery and understanding in ethnic studies. There are equally pressing non-identity issues with which ethnic studies must …
Identity As Theory And Method For Ethnic Studies, John Hatfield
Identity As Theory And Method For Ethnic Studies, John Hatfield
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The question of identity is fundamental to human life. "Who am I," as a biological and psychological being; as a member of a human group with a particular style and history; as a participant in the common human values, perceptions, and processes which transcend any particular group? Ethnic studies should have as its focus the whole human being, articulated in the biological, socio/cultural, and psycho/personal categories, and the methodology for ethnic studies should reflect the process by which people live and move within the named categories. The interaction of people who are self-consciously engaged in exploring their lives biologically, culturally, …

Critique [Of Identity As Theory And Method For Ethnic Studies By John Hatfield], Neil Nakadate
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
John Hatfield's discussion of identity and ethnicity in an increasingly wider, abstract, and problematical context is an extended definition of the current dilemma. I suspect Hatfield intends to offer an essentially optimistic statement, but for many readers questions and doubts may remain, if not predominate.
Critique [Of Reclaiming The Subject: Italian Women Self-Defined By Chris Ruggiero], Gloria Lothrop
Critique [Of Reclaiming The Subject: Italian Women Self-Defined By Chris Ruggiero], Gloria Lothrop
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The results of the 1980 United States census indicate that about twelve million persons were reported as being partly or solely of Italian ancestry. One in twenty people in the United States or 5.4 percent of the total U.S. population claims Italian descent, representing the sixth largest group in the United States.
Critique [Of Self-Evaluation Of Black And White College Students By Keith D. Parker], Homer D.C. Garcia
Critique [Of Self-Evaluation Of Black And White College Students By Keith D. Parker], Homer D.C. Garcia
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The article by Keith D. Parker raises interesting theoretical and methodological questions, but this review focuses on the latter. The author is correct in his critical assessment of black self-esteem research (BSER) methodology. Projective measures have been used in most cases and questions have been raised regarding the validity of such self-esteem measures and therefore about the believability of BSER findings.[1] In addition, blacks and whites tested have not been representative of the general black or white communities of the United States, yet inferences to and comparisons of the populations have been made. Finally, studies have employed non-multivariate statistical techniques …

Critique [Of Puerto Ricans: White Or Non- White? By Robert A. Martinez], Terry Simmons
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
When the first Dutch missionaries reached the far shores of Java, they heard rumors of a recently captured large white monkey being held in a remote village. By the time the missionaries reached the village, however, the mysterious monkey had vanished. They found only the post where it had been tied. Chiseled in stone nearby in Latin, English and Dutch were these words: "Help! I am a Dutch sailor."
Goan Literature From Peter Nazareth: An Interview, Charles C. Irby
Goan Literature From Peter Nazareth: An Interview, Charles C. Irby
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Peter Nazareth is an associate professor in the English Department and the Afro american Studies Program at the University of Iowa. His job includes being an advisor to the International Writing Program, which brings published writers from thirty to forty countries to Iowa City each fall. During the fall of 1984, he accompanied Michael Anthony (Trinidad) and Flora Nwapa (Nigeria) to Iowa State University for readings, and it was a golden opportunity to get some insights about the growth and development of both Goan literature and its primary catalytic agent to date.
Critique [Of Chicano Ethnicity And Aging By Marvin A. Lewis], Barbara L. Hiura
Critique [Of Chicano Ethnicity And Aging By Marvin A. Lewis], Barbara L. Hiura
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Lewis's article presents a creative and exciting approach for understanding the importance elderly people have not only in the family but in the community as well. He blends literary personification, cultural integration, and social science strategies for illustrating Chicano traditions and their relationships to the aging process. Literary works involving curandero/curandera and abuelo/abuela folk traditions depict reverance [reverence], honor, power, and prestige as engaging qualities inherited by the elderly. Lewis's analysis of Anaya's Bless Me Ultima and Santiago's Famous All Over Town illustrate the congruence folk traditions have with the positive aspects of the aging process. By using literature to …

Chicano Ethnicity And Aging, Marvin A. Lewis
Chicano Ethnicity And Aging, Marvin A. Lewis
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
In an insightful article published a decade ago, "The Chicano Aged," David Maldonado offers some comments that are germane to this presentation. In summing up the dilemma of the Chicano elderly, he asserts: The aged person in the extended family holds high status and commands the respect and obedience of the younger family members. Within the extended family structure. the aging person grows in prestige and respect. The individual holds high rank and has influence in the life of the group.[1] This is the position afforded the aged in many societies as long as the elderly are able to function …
Critique [Of Chicano Ethnicity And Aging By Marvin A. Lewis], Ron Striano
Critique [Of Chicano Ethnicity And Aging By Marvin A. Lewis], Ron Striano
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Art serves the societal functions of recording, interpreting and predicting. Here, analysis of popular archetypes in Chicano fiction and poetry are used to illustrate cultural values toward the elderly and conflicts of values between generations of Chicanos. This leads to an examination of how Chicano values differ from Anglo-American values toward the elderly. The author demonstrates the problems of acculturation, blending into and enriching another culture while retaining a sense of one's own culture, versus assimilation, abandoning one's own heritage and taking on the values of another culture. In the latter, upward mobility striving by younger Chicanos creates a chasm …
Critique [Of Racism And The Canadian State By Daiva K. Stasiulis], A. William Hoglund
Critique [Of Racism And The Canadian State By Daiva K. Stasiulis], A. William Hoglund
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Stasiulis's two-part essay offers a critique of the policies on immigration and racism pursued by the Canadian government during the past decade or so. While the government's multicultural institutions seek to ameliorate racism, its immigration agencies get blamed for intensifying the problem. The latter agencies are better supported than the former which are on the "fringes of state power," and, according to the author, have little chance of changing immigration policies.

Between Shadow And Rock: The Woman In Armenian American Literature, Margaret Bedrosian
Between Shadow And Rock: The Woman In Armenian American Literature, Margaret Bedrosian
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Periodically bolting out of the Boston apartment that keeps her safe in a world unmoved by her existence, clad in the heavy sweaters and thick wool socks that shield her barren spinsterhood, the Auntie of Hapet Kharibian's "Home in Exile" also breaks out of the box that imprisons most portraits of Armenian American women.[1] As Auntie exerts her pittance of domestic authority by shopping for Ajax and picking green beans for an aged father's stew, nurturing insanity through her idle days, the reader briefly glimpses a refreshing truthfulness behind the types and stereotypes that populate much Armenian American literature. Auntie's …

Critique [Of Between Shadow And Rock: The Woman In Armenian American Literature By Margaret Bedrosian], Linda M.C. Abbott
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Female characters, drawn from a sampling of Armenian American writing, are examined for clues to the breadth of their individual and group experience in this brief literature review. The author early concludes that the range of experience and personality available for examination in such an overview is extremely limited. The bulk of the review is then given to a presentation of possible historical and cultural explanations for the typical flat, narrow, and slightly negative portrayal.
Racism And The Canadian State, Daiva K. Stasiulis
Racism And The Canadian State, Daiva K. Stasiulis
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The practices and official discourse of a variety of state institutions in Canada have reflected a new level of "race consciousness" during the past five years. A notable development within the Canadian state has been the emergence at all levels of administrative and parliamentary institutions of new "race relations " and "visible minority" committees, liaison and consultative structures, programs, and commissions. Following a series of racially-motivated attacks within Toronto subways directed principally at South Asians, the Metropolitan Toronto Police and the Toronto Transit Commission jointly established a system designed to intercept attackers and prevent further incidents. A growing number of …

Critique [Of Racism And The Canadian State By Daiva K. Stasiulis], Delo E. Washington
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Stasiulis has not only entered a great debate but has sought to order it. The interconnections between Canada's recent policies on multiculturalism, immigration, and the efforts to implement the two are the reference points around which that debate is centered. The possibilities for racism, however, need to be made more clear by the author. Scholars can make significant contributions in this regard by investigating what seems to be unrelated programs and practices. Since practices are tied to the same policies, an identifiable theoretical perspective is proposed as the leverage for yielding insights about relationships between people and things that would …

Critique [Of Racism And The Canadian State By Daiva K. Stasiulis], Luis L. Pinto
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The value of "Racism and the Canadian State" is its tragic reminder that injustice is alive and flourishing in Canada as well as the United States and elsewhere. Stasiulis presents an interesting and perceptive analysis of the practices of official discourse of different Canadian institutions which have brought about a new level of "race onsciousness [consciousness]." She deals effectively with the measures taken by the federal government, within the past five years, to confront the social problems and demands of visible minorities in Canadian society.
A.K.A. Pablo: Mexican American Images For Television, Norman L. Friedman
A.K.A. Pablo: Mexican American Images For Television, Norman L. Friedman
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The study of "minority group images in mass media" has been of considerable interest both to humanities and social science writers in the ethnic and media fields. Most investigations have focused upon the descriptive content of the minority portrayals, though a few have also dealt with related aspects of minority group reactions to images. Among the large volume of varied writings have been those which have considered minority group images in films, [1] images of Asian Americans in print and electronic media, [2] dissections of single television shows about minorities, [3] and responses of minority audiences and media critics to …
Depictions Of Elderly Blacks In American Literature, Alice A. Deck
Depictions Of Elderly Blacks In American Literature, Alice A. Deck
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Portraits of elderly Afroamerican men and women abound in American literature and vary from stories which present a mythic primordial character who symbolizes emotional stability, experiential wisdom and a community's cultural and historical heritage, to works in slice-of-life realistic style which dramatize the social and psychological conditions of aged blacks. Included in this second category are works which show the confrontation between old and new social standards. Coupled with this range of portraits is a variety of attitudes toward elderly blacks.

Critique [Of Depictions Of Elderly Blacks In American Literature By Alice A. Deck], Helen Maclam
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Although Deck concludes that no consistent image of elderly Afroamericans dominates in American literature, she has clearly demonstrated a dichotomy between black and white authors in its portrayal. This dichotomy might well be termed white myth versus black experience, and it is illustrated by the contrast between Uncle Remus and Uncle Julius. In her discussion of both characters, Deck has pointed out that critical distinction between structure, i.e., the "outer frame," and content, i.e., authentic Afroamerican folklore. Deck states that the legends told by Uncle Remus reflect a black world view. They were not, however, perceived as such until recently …
