Critique [Of God's Silence And The Shrill Of Ethnicity In The Chicano Novel], Neil Nakadate
Critique [Of God's Silence And The Shrill Of Ethnicity In The Chicano Novel], Neil Nakadate
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Among the most important observations made in the course of Joe Rodriquez‘ essay on the Chicano novel are that 1) an ethnic legacy must be recognized described, and acknowledged in its complexity and contradictions before it can become a viable part of an individual's identity; 2) ethnic legacies and affiliations, as with all relationships into which individuals are born, can be burdensome liabilities as well as touchstones of sustenance and liberation; 3) an ethnic's unquestioning affiliation with the "group" often leads to a diminishment of personal worth. With his focus on dialectical forces within Chicano life and on ethnicity as …
Critique [Of Addressing Gaps In The Delivery Of Community Services: The Case Of One Inner-City Community], Shirla Mcclain
Critique [Of Addressing Gaps In The Delivery Of Community Services: The Case Of One Inner-City Community], Shirla Mcclain
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
This study has two major implications for human service professionals. First, it identifies some of the essential ingredients that enable human service agencies to be effective. Second, it provides a basis for further research possibilities among the human service professions.
Addressing Gaps In The Delivery Of Community Services: The Case Of One Inner-City Community, Cecilia E. Dawkins
Addressing Gaps In The Delivery Of Community Services: The Case Of One Inner-City Community, Cecilia E. Dawkins
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The need for more effective approaches to the delivery of health and social services in inner-city communities is well established. Attempts to improve service delivery in such areas as housing, health care and job training usually concentrate on strengthening' community education efforts and other strategies designed to motivate potential users of community services. Little emphasis has been placed on increasing the communication between different community service providers to achieve better coordination among organizations responsible for service delivery in inner-city communities. As a consequence, major service gaps exist including such problems as duplication of services, limited accessiblity [accessibility], and the absence …

Critique [Of Addressing Gaps In The Delivery Of Community Services: The Case Of One Inner-City Community], Minnie T. Bailey
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
This descriptive study was completed to assess the demographic characteristics of respondents; the kinds of services provided by twenty-eight social agencies, organizations, and institutions and the perceptions of low-income clients held by providers. The purpose of the survey was to gather baseline data to improve the COALITION‘S ability to coordinate services and planning as well as to avoid duplication of services.
Critique [Of A Proposed Model For Advocacy Services For Mexican Undocumented Aliens With Mental Health Needs], Cliff I. Hooper Sr.
Critique [Of A Proposed Model For Advocacy Services For Mexican Undocumented Aliens With Mental Health Needs], Cliff I. Hooper Sr.
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
With the data we have the evidence of need, with the proposed method, we have been offered a logical approach to difficult conditions, but what we need now is a method for overcoming the extraordinary conditions. Salcido's contribution is both an offering and a projection of one of a number of serious Social problems in the United States. As an offering, this paper provides data sustaining the structure and validity of a model; as a projection, Salcido focuses the phenomena of United States/Mexican border relations as that situation concerns United States nationalism and Mexican aliens who are illegal residents, especially …
Critique [Of The Image Of Gays In Chicano Prose Fiction], Laverne Gonzalez
Critique [Of The Image Of Gays In Chicano Prose Fiction], Laverne Gonzalez
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The author speaks truly in stating that gays in literature have remained, for the most part, in the closet. Generally authors have been concerned with presenting a given philosophy, advocating social change, creating aesthetically satisfying literature, not primarily with sexuality, per se.
Critique [Of God's Silence And The Shrill Of Ethnicity In The Chicano Novel], Gladys David Howell
Critique [Of God's Silence And The Shrill Of Ethnicity In The Chicano Novel], Gladys David Howell
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The concepts of society and culture, so vital in the pursuit of understanding human behavior. its patterns and effects, are ultimately expressed in the lives of individuals. Cultural values are carried, symbolized, and integrated in the minds of human beings Innovative individuals challenge and change culture. The crucial intersection of society, culture, and individual has not always been granted sufficiently high priority in social science research to exploit this rich vein. As sociology and anthropology have moved toward quantitative methods, material is often fractured so that society seems peopled by disembodied fragmented men and women. This is regrettable since the …

Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The issues affecting ethnics, minorities, and the poor have changed little throughout the years; the primary issue, undergirding all others, however, is social Justice and its attainment. We are hopeful that the membership will share with others the celebration of ethnicity provided in this issue of the Journal, for ethnicity is more than an academic concern.

Critique [Of The Image Of Gays In Chicano Prose Fiction], Sara Bentley
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
In "The Image of Gays in Chicano Prose Fiction," Karl J. Reinhardt surveys a variety of outstanding works of contemporary fiction by male Chicano writers which include homosexual references that are often so hidden that they may not even be apparent to heterosexual readers.
[Review Of] Paul Wrobel. Our Way: Family, Parish And Neighborhood In A Polish-American Community, Phylis Cancilla Martinelli
[Review Of] Paul Wrobel. Our Way: Family, Parish And Neighborhood In A Polish-American Community, Phylis Cancilla Martinelli
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Paul Wrobel’s study of a Polish-American community provides valuable insight into one of America’s largest white ethnic groups. Recent studies of Polish-Americans, such as Neil Sandberg’s Ethnic Identity and Assimilation: the Polish American Community in Los Angeles (New York: Praeger, 1974), have been few and often lacking in insight, even if providing some information. Wrobel provides a window for outsiders to look at St. Thaddeus parish on the northeast side of Detroit, a neighborhood reflecting “the cultural attitudes and values of its residents, especially their need for order and cleanliness.” (p. 46.) He takes care to emphasize that his study …
[Review Of] Jay P. Dolan. The Immigrant Church, New York's Irish And German Catholics, 1815-1865, George R. Gilkey
[Review Of] Jay P. Dolan. The Immigrant Church, New York's Irish And German Catholics, 1815-1865, George R. Gilkey
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Jay Dolan confines this study on immigrant Catholicism in New York City largely to the half-century between 1815 and 1865. He does, however, briefly note significant ties among events occurring in the secular world of Europe and America which influenced the nature of the migrations and the attitudes of the immigrants. (For example, the Germans of ‘48 brought with them political leanings that their predecessors had had). It is important to keep in mind that it was the era following the American Civil War when the great waves of immigrants, including large numbers of Catholics from southern and eastern Europe, …
[Review Of] Jesse Green, Ed. ZuñI: Selected Writings Of Frank Hamilton Cushing, Elmer R. Rusco
[Review Of] Jesse Green, Ed. ZuñI: Selected Writings Of Frank Hamilton Cushing, Elmer R. Rusco
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Jesse Green, a professor of English at Chicago State University, has brought together in this volume, with appropriate explanatory materials, selections from the published and unpublished writings of Frank Hamilton Cushing. The collection deals with several things: autobiographical materials (about 120 pages); description of Zuñi life and beliefs (about 220 pages); and materials about the relation between Zuñi and White America (much of the autobiographical section, a brief description of visits to the East by several Zuñi, most of the brief foreword by anthropologist Fred Eggan, and much of Green’s more than 60 pages of introductions.) The volume is handsomely …
[Review Of] William P. French, Michel J. Febre, Amritjit Singh, And GenevièVe E. Fabre (Eds). Afro-American Poetry And Drama, 1760-1975: A Guide To Information Sources, James L. Gray
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
This bibliographic guide is actually two guides in one volume, both of them quite useful to the student of Afro-American writing. Black writers have often published their work themselves or in limited editions through small and relatively unknown presses.

[Review Of] Julian Samora, Joe Bernal, Albert PeñA. Gunpowder Justice: A Reassessment Of The Texas Rangers, Louis Sarabia
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Gunpowder Justice: A Reassessment of the Texas Rangers is an undertaking which has long been overdue. However, in this volume by Julian Samora, Joe Bernal, and Albert Peña, the expectations outweigh the realities.

[Review Of] Gerald Vizenor. Wordarrows: Indians And Whites In The New Fur Trade, Marcia J. Galii
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
It was George Orwell who saw, more clearly than most, that “newspeak” was often used by government and public institutions in communicating with their public. He warned that such jargon would separate government from the governed.
Critique [Of Concept Of Shame And The Mental Health Of Pacific Asian Americans], Helen Maclam
Critique [Of Concept Of Shame And The Mental Health Of Pacific Asian Americans], Helen Maclam
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Masayuki Sato's article Concept of Shame and the Mental Health of Pacific Asian Americans serves the vital function of raising issues as the necessary first step in seeking answers. Sato has convincingly related some attributes of Pacific Asian Americans (eg., high scholastic achievement, low utilization of mental health services and underemployment) to the need to avoid shame or "save face."
[Review Of] John U. Ogbu. Minority Education And Caste: The American System In Cross-Cultural Perspective, V. Thomas Samuel
[Review Of] John U. Ogbu. Minority Education And Caste: The American System In Cross-Cultural Perspective, V. Thomas Samuel
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
In this comprehensive and well documented study on the minority education in America, Ogbu approaches the question of poor minority performance in school from a different but a powerful crosscultural perspective. His major hypothesis is that lower school performance on the part of blacks is an adaptation to their social and occupational positions in adult life, which do not require high educational qualifications (p. 213). The dominant white caste maintains the adaptation by providing blacks with inferior jobs. The adaptation is also maintained by certain structural and cultural features of the black environment which have evolved under the caste system. …

Racism And The Helping Process, Susan Reid
Racism And The Helping Process, Susan Reid
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The issues addressed in this paper relate to racism within the helping process. We will base our discussion on the premise that racism is an illness and should be regarded as such wherever it emerges in the helping process, whether or not this relates directly to the client's reasons for seeking help. The discussion will also be based on the converse, i.e. that concerns of clients about race relations, their interest in establishing positive interracial relationships or in effecting change on some level, should be regarded as healthy and positive, not as "symptomatic" of hidden pathology.
[Review Of] Judy H. Katz. White Awareness: Handbook For Anti-Racism Training, Helen G. Chapin
[Review Of] Judy H. Katz. White Awareness: Handbook For Anti-Racism Training, Helen G. Chapin
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
White Awareness has been created out of a personal and professional struggle and is designed to help whites understand and come to grips with personal, cultural, and institutional racism. The author was the child of refugees from Hitler’s Germany. She was further influenced by the social movements in the United States during the 1960’s. She has a vision of equality and a commitment to combatting the pathology of racism. Her practical orientation makes her concerned with action rather than self-indulgent or energy-wasting guilt.

Dr. Langley. who states that this book is an abridgement of her doctoral dissertation, lectures in “missiology” at Trinity College, Bristol. This is a serious, sober, astonishing, and disappointing work.

[Review Of] Ronald H. Bayor. Neighbors In Conflict: The Irish, Germans, Jews And Italians Of New York City, 1929-1941, Carol Schoen
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
In this study of a seldom-considered period of ethnic interaction, Bayor has provided a well-written and solidly researched appraisal of group conflict in New York City from 1929 to 1941. He has attempted to discover the reasons why conflict erupted between certain groups while others remained quiescent or were resolved.

[Review Of] Raymond L. Hall (Ed.). Ethnic Autonomy -- Comparative Dynamics: The Americas, Europe And The Developing World, Gary Y. Okihiro
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Hall has done us a service in putting together this wide-ranging collection of essays on ethnic separatist movements. The volume is particularly timely because of the twentieth century paradoxes of the drive for global unity and nationalism, and nationalism and a blossoming of ethnic separatist movements. (The book is not unique. See, 6.9. Chester L. Hunt and Lewis Walker, Ethnic Dynamics: Patterns of Intergroup Relations in Various Societies, Learning Publications, Inc., 1979.)

[Review Of] Russell W. Fridley. Historic Resources In Minnesota: A Report On Their Extent, Location, And Need For Preservation, Christian K. Skjervold
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
It is extremely difficult to review in any kind of a literary way a book which makes no pretense at being a literary work. Historic Resources is a report and a resource listing of what does exist. In addition to “what is” there are well thought out recommendations for what should be. The report deals with five broad areas of concern--Historical Organization and Museum Artifacts, Newspapers, Manuscripts, Historic Structures, and Archaeological Sites--which are and have been influenced by the work of the Minnesota Historical Society. In each of the sections there is a broad outline rationale for the existence of …

Editor's Corner, Carter E. Carter
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
1980 - Explorations begins a new decade. Surprise! In terms of the longevity of professional and scholarly journals, and statistically, the journal should have folded. Instead, Explorations moves ahead with optimism and starts the new decade with a sense of pride and accomplishment. If Explorations survives until January, 1990, we will know that Ethnic Studies has survived.
[Review Of] Buchi Emecheta . The Joys Of Motherhood, Janet Cheatham Bell
[Review Of] Buchi Emecheta . The Joys Of Motherhood, Janet Cheatham Bell
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Whether this novel is touting motherhood or not, the author certainly makes it clear that being a mother is not a simple or an easy task. The setting is Nigeria prior to, during and after World War II, but there is much here with which any woman can identify, particularly if she is, or has mated.
Cultural Community, Cohesion And Constraint: Dynamics Of Life Satisfaction Among Aged Filipino Men Of Hawaii, Wayne S. Wooden, J. H. Monane
Cultural Community, Cohesion And Constraint: Dynamics Of Life Satisfaction Among Aged Filipino Men Of Hawaii, Wayne S. Wooden, J. H. Monane
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
In contrast to other elderly Asian-Americans (notably Japanese Americans and Chinese Americans), relatively little is known about aged Filipino Americans (Kalish & Yuen, 1971). This may be partly a function of their population size, as the Filipino aged in America are considerably less numerous than the elderly Japanese and Chinese Americans; the 1970 U.S. Censes (Census) of the Population finds only 21,249 Filipinos aged 65 and over in the U.S., 82% of them men. In addition, low economic and political status, recency of arrival and relative lack of militancy may contribute to this inattention. Kalish and Moriwaki (1973), focusing on …
