Racial Identity Among Mixed Adolescents In Hawaii: A Research Note, Graham C. Kinloch
Racial Identity Among Mixed Adolescents In Hawaii: A Research Note, Graham C. Kinloch
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The islands of Hawaii are well-known for their unique level of racial heterogeneity and admixture, overt norms of racial tolerance and harmony, and temperate climate. Of central interest to the social scientist is the manner in which racial and cultural blending take place in such a complex society, particularly among those of mixed racial origin; Hawaii provides a social laboratory in which to study such processes in depth. This paper, viewing racial identity as an important index of intergroup relations, examines the racial identities and related reasons of forty high school adolescents in Hawaii in order to highlight controlling factors …
Economic And Psychic Exploitation Of American Indians, Gretchen M. Bataille, Charles L.P. Silet
Economic And Psychic Exploitation Of American Indians, Gretchen M. Bataille, Charles L.P. Silet
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Two general points can be made about Euroamerican exploitation of American Indians: first, whatever level of exploitation they have experienced by the motion picture industry, it is part of a long tradition which dates back to the earliest contacts between white Europeans and Indians; and second, that the exploitation has taken on two forms-economic and psychic. Just how Indians have been taken advantage of economically is relatively clear. Euroamerican history texts happily record the ways in which the native inhabitants of the American shores were bilked, with the $24 worth of beads, for Manhatten [Manhattan] Island and with equally inequitable …

Critique [Of Economic And Psychic Exploitation Of American Indians], Terry Simmons
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
James Joyce once said that history is a nightmare from which I am trying to awake. This article by Gretchen Bataille and Charles Silet is part of our collective process of awakening. The first portion of this article recounts the psychological and economic consequences to the conquest and domination of American Indians by more recent immigrants from Europe, Africa, and Asia. However, one need not dwell upon the history or the tragic unpleasantness of these post-Columbian events. Instead, the focus here is on present blurry eyed attempts to live in and cope with a multicultural, twentieth century North American society.

Critique [Of Racial Identity Among Mixed Adolescents In Hawaii: A Research Note], Helen G. Chapin
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
This modest research note is on solid ground in recognizing that racial identity prevails in the relatively non-racist, pluralist society of Hawaii. Hawaii's peoples are noted for extending respect and tolerance to the diverse racial and ethnic groups in the State, but pluralism has by no means erased all problems.
Critique [Of Alternative Education For The Rom], Jesse Jackson
Critique [Of Alternative Education For The Rom], Jesse Jackson
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Leita Kaldi's "Alternative Education for the Rom" briefly states the plight of Gypsies in the second paragraph: The Rom face an agonizing dilemma today. Either they will persist as urban nomads, in mobile ghettos, in enclaves of poverty and in prisons, or their cultural traditions will have to evolve to enable them to share in the benefits of this society, to develop a better material and social existence. Education is a basic bridge into contemporary U.S. society and a pioneering effort has been made in Seattle, Washington, to encourage the Rom to step onto that bridge.

Griggs And Corrothers: Historical Reality And Black Fiction, James Robert Payne
Griggs And Corrothers: Historical Reality And Black Fiction, James Robert Payne
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Sutton E. Griggs's Imperium in Imperio and James D. Corrothers's "A Man They Didn't Know" are two early Afroamerican fictions which suggest a black alliance with foreign powers in the face of unrelenting racial injustice at home.1 Imperium in Imperio, published in 1899, has been described as "the first political novel" by a black American;2 and "A Man They Didn't Know," appearing in 1913, is probably the first Afroamerican fiction to suggest a specific alliance between American blacks, groups in Mexico, and the Japanese. Sutton E. Griggs is currently undergoing rediscovery, and Imperium in Imperio is by now well known …
Alternative Education For The Rom, Rom Leita Kaldi
Alternative Education For The Rom, Rom Leita Kaldi
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The Rom* in the United States are nearly 100% illiterate. There are very few in any of the professions. The Rom cannot rely on gajo (non-Gypsy) doctors, lawyers, and educators who do not understand their ways or their unique problems.

Critique [Of Griggs And Corrothers: Historical Reality And Black Fiction], Gary Okihiro
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The foregoing essay by James Robert Payne describes two important pieces of Afroamerican literature and places them within their historical context. Payne offers a tantalizing account of those examples of late nineteenth and early twentieth century black nationalist writing; he fails, however, to explain their historical significance in terms of black nationalist thought around the turn of the century.

Critique [Of Alternative Education For The Rom], Barbara Hiura
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
"Alternative Education for the Rom" concerns a little written about ethnic group, the Gypsy, and concentrates on the dilemma of cultural resistance on the part of the Rom and cultural change for their survival in the U.S. Leita Kaldi discusses an educational alternative the Rom in Seattle, Washington find acceptable to bridge the gap between traditional Rom culture and the U.S. social structure.

Critique [Of Griggs And Corrothers: Historical Reality And Black Fiction], Alice A. Deck
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
James Payne's thoughtful and carefully documented essay stresses the importance of evaluating ethnic American, specifically Afroamerican, fiction within its historical context. The historical information he provides in his essay concerning the Afroamerican response to the Spanish-American War and to America's paranoia of a supposed "Yellow Peril" does indeed shed light on how Griggs and Corrothers each imaginatively re-invested a specific social reality with an Afroamerican revolutionary furor-a rage which ironically had the best interest of the country at heart.
Critique [Of Some Symbols Of Identity Of Byzantine Catholics], Michele Zak
Critique [Of Some Symbols Of Identity Of Byzantine Catholics], Michele Zak
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Two primary assumptions appear to inform this descriptive article about Byzantine Catholic communities in the United States: (1) old traditions are maintained in new environments through “syncretism”; and (2) the symbols that emerge in those syncretisms are reflective of the world view of the ethnic group that created them.
African And Pac!Fic Literature: A Comparative Study, Kristine L. Martin
African And Pac!Fic Literature: A Comparative Study, Kristine L. Martin
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The new nations of Africa and the islands of the South Pacific have much in common, despite their ethnic and cultural diversity and the vast distance that separates them. The literature which has developed over the past thirty years in Africa and over the past ten in the Pacific mirrors their shared experiences and outlook. The authors from both regions have acted as spokespersons for their people, voicing concerns about their future as individuals as well as members of a politically viable ethnic community.

Critique [Of African And Pac!Fic Literature: A Comparative Study], James H. Williams
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Kristine Martin demonstrates the need for the serious scholar to address the topic of African and Pacific literature in the form of comparative analysis. She has provided a good example for others to emulate. for her study is concerned with self-identity in the formation of ethnicity.

Critique [Of Institutional Racism], Thomas Mann Jr
Critique [Of Institutional Racism], Thomas Mann Jr
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
To disagree with the author’s central theme that institutional racism is the principal deterrent to social, economic, and political equality of the races in America would be to ignore centuries of American history in which racial minorities have been oppressed and denied equality of rights and opportunities. Even further, one must agree with the author’s argument that institutional racism is merely the manifestation of “beliefs held so tenaciously that they guide behavior spontaneously by excluding any process which call them into question,” while simultaneously purporting to be open to the individual, irrespective of race», gender or age.

Critique [Of Institutional Racism], James A. Perry
Critique [Of Institutional Racism], James A. Perry
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
For those who see institutional racism as a problem which can be solved, the points of focus by Deloria are these: An institution is a "person" with a personality shaped by western-culture; and institutional racism is a phenomenon created by western culture. The idea that an institution is a “person” with a personality of its own is not new; the legal profession has held that a corporation, and therefore, an institution, is a “person” protected by the fourth amendment of the Constitution.

Kristine Martin states that “the literature which has developed over the past thirty years in Africa and over the past ten in the Pacific mirrors their shared experiences and outlook." Black Americans have also lived in a society controlled by whites. They have also been portrayed as uncivilized, culturally deprived, less-than-second—class citizens. And black Americans have also felt “bitterness, frustration, and longing.“ It is not surprising, therefore, that black American literature has many of the characteristics Martin found in African and South Pacific literature.
