[Review Of] Toni Morrison. Song Of Solomon: The Flight Of Afro-American Life, Curtiss E. Porter
[Review Of] Toni Morrison. Song Of Solomon: The Flight Of Afro-American Life, Curtiss E. Porter
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Song of Solomon can only be viewed as a tribute to the artistic and cultural genius of Ms. Toni Morrison. I, as reviewer and want-to-be-rich writer, am studious and intent throughout my reading of her novel. I am amazed, gratified and satisfied. I am fully amazed that she pulls it through; this wealth of characterization and plot. This is a novel of growing into manhood. It is at once the tale of man-to-man relationships and man-to-woman relationships in the Afro-American community where there is an essential struggle simply to be: There is in Song of Solomon mystery, romance and intrigue. …
[Review Of] Louis Chu. Eat A Bowl Of Tea, C. L. Chua
[Review Of] Louis Chu. Eat A Bowl Of Tea, C. L. Chua
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Louis Chu’s Eat a Bowl of Tea is the most recent addition (and a most welcome one) to the series of Asian-American classics that the University of Washington Press is reprinting in paperback format. Other titles in this series that come to mind are the uncompromisingly naturalistic memoirs of the Filipino-American Carlos Bulosan, America is in the Heart, and the gripping novel about a Japanese-American who resists the World War II draft, John Okada’s No-No Boy. Louis Chu’s novel, which had first appeared in 1961 to unappreciative and uncomprehending notices, is every bit as essential to the canon of Asian …

Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The National Association of Interdisciplinary Ethnic Studies (NAIES) is an organization dedicated towards finding solutions to some of the "Ethnic" problems which plague U.S. society. Some of these solutions are found when people from a variety of cultural, ethnic, and environmental backgrounds are brought together to communicate and discuss germinal ideas. To this end, the NAIES, in the recent past, has set up regional conferences in various parts of the United States. These regional conferences are a microcosm of the national conference. The regional conferences follow similar guidelines as set up for the national conferences. I attended one of these …
Concept Of Shame And The Mental Health Of Pacific Asian Americans, Masayuki Sato
Concept Of Shame And The Mental Health Of Pacific Asian Americans, Masayuki Sato
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
One priority of the Health Task group of the Conference on Pacific and Asian American Families (1978) was the need for research into the psychological and emotional problems of Pacific and Asian American (PAA) groups and their possible remedies. Specifically, the report identified the importance of shame in the education and socialization process of PAA families in controlling behavior. As a cultural characteristic among PAAs, shame or “saving face” remains an important concept to the individual, the family, the community, and to the racial group as a whole.
Critique [Of Back To The Basics: A New Challenge For The Black Church], Charles C. Irby
Critique [Of Back To The Basics: A New Challenge For The Black Church], Charles C. Irby
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Back to the Basics... is a provocative presentation which focuses on the role of the Black church as a socio—cultural, politico-economic institution in an historic context. Not focused in Williams' paper are the spiritual, religious aspects of the Black church, but the solutions proposed certainly lead toward a liberation theology. Williams' primary focus is on how the Black church, in a modern context, has drifted away from its original raison d'etre, and he attempts to show what can be done to restore the Black church, as an agent or institution for the people, to a position which serves the people.

Back To The Basics: A New Challenge For The Black Church, James H. Williams
Back To The Basics: A New Challenge For The Black Church, James H. Williams
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The development of the Black community in America witnessed the Black Church exercising the unique function of assisting Blacks to gain a measure of economic strength. The opinion is ventured by Fordham that one of the most powerful and influential institutions to evolve within the Black community in the post-Civil War era was the Black Church. It was more than a religious institution: it was social, political, and economic institution all in one. Its early mutual aid societies cared for the sick, aged, and disabled; buried the dead of indigent families; provided financial support for widows and orphans; made loans; …

Explorations in Ethnic Studies
These are seven monographs published by the Center on Aging at San Diego University (The Campanile Press, 1978). Each monograph is the result of a team of researchers investigating an ethnic group. These cross-cultural studies of minority elders in San Diego investigate samples of Blacks, Chinese, Japanese, Latinos, Philipinos, Samoans, and Guamanians aged 50 and over.
[Review Of] Leonard Dinnerstein, Roger L. Nichols, And David M. Reimers Natives And Strangers: Ethnic Groups And The Building Of America, TöNu Parming
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Although the past decade has witnessed a surge in the number of publications focusing on ethnic groups and ethnic issues, the genre of study which may be called “ethnic history of America”‘ is still weakly represented. As a relatively pioneering effort, the Dinnerstein, Nichols and Reimers book makes a valuable contribution, and it could be justifiably recommended for American history courses, American Society courses, and courses on ethnicity. The general periodization of history is good, and the important ethnic developments within each period are related effectively to the emergence and growth of the United States politically and economically as well …

[Review Of] Edith Blicksilver. The Ethnic American Woman; Problems, Protests, Lifestyle, Elvira Craig De Silva
[Review Of] Edith Blicksilver. The Ethnic American Woman; Problems, Protests, Lifestyle, Elvira Craig De Silva
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Edith Blicksilver has compiled an extensive and varied series of articles, poems and narratives of personal experiences of the different female authors, covering the life spectrum of the Ethnic American Woman. They are presented in a logical and organized fashion, which provides structure but allows for flexibility in the themes. This adds to the enjoyment of the book and facilitates its reading.

[Review Of] Research Centre For Canadian Ethnic Studies (Pub.). Canadian Ethnic Studies -- Special Issue: Ethnic Radicals, John W. Larner Jr.
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
This familiar and useful journal for those interested in cross-national comparative ethnic studies between Canada and the United States provides in this special issue six essays on seven important but hitherto overlooked ethnic minority leaders. Predictably, two of the figures are British (Arthur Putee and Sam Scarlett) and none are native, Métis, French or female; the other five being Finn (Matti Kurikka and A. B. Makela), Norwegian (Ole Hjelt), Ukranian (Ukrainian) (Pavlo Krat) and Croatian (Tomo Cacié). Each essay is in English with convenient bilingual headnote synopses. The essays are well researched, amply footnoted and tolerably readable for specialist literature. …

[Review Of] John Dylong. Living History 1925-1950: Family Experiences Of Times Remembered, Barbara R. Luebke
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Beginning with the premise that “the family is our richest historical resource” because “they have been through it all” and “their memories are not dry, dusty facts” John Dylong sets out to document one family’s (his) growth. He does this with snapshots from family albums, brief narratives and newSpaper and magazine clippings on facing pages.

[Review Of] Bernth Lindfors. Black African Literature In English: A Guide To Information Sources, Helen Maclam

Although there is no single Black or African world view, Black African creative writing offers us alternative perspectives to the Western European/American value system characterizing the literature most familiar to us.
[Review Of] Thomas A. Clark. Blacks In Suburbs: A National Perspective, James Sherohman
[Review Of] Thomas A. Clark. Blacks In Suburbs: A National Perspective, James Sherohman
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Blacks in suburbs examines the process of black suburbanization on a national level. Although a book this short (111 pp., plus bibliography and index) necessarily provides a superficial treatment, it does explore some of the complexities of the suburbanization process among blacks. It not only looks at migration patterns of blacks to and from suburbs, but also at how factors such as region, income, education, and occupational and housing markets affect the process of suburbanization.

[Review Of] Nell Irvin Painter. Exodusters; Black Migration To Kansas After Reconstruction. And Robert G. Athearn. In Search Of Canaan: Black Migration To Kansas, 1879-80, Wilson J. Moses
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
In 1909 Walter L. Fleming published an article on “‘Pap’ Singleton, the Moses of the Colored Exodus,” in the American Journal of Sociology. Some forty years later, Herbert Aptheker in his Documentary History of the Negro People in the United States, responded to it somewhat disparagingly. The Black Exodus was not a “spontaneous movement inspired by a Moses in the guise of the aged Benjamin Singleton.” it was “the culmination of a steady process of migration and came in response to years of preparation.” In this process “the somewhat eccent?c Singleton” was only of secondary significance. It was Henry Adams, …

Today the American Indian is still envisioned as a befeathered curiosity. Both children and adults have continued to perpetuated stereotypes and harbor misconceptions about the American Indian cultures. This has been detrimental to the advancement of India people today.
[Review Of] Barbara Myerhoff. Number Our Days, Michele Zak
[Review Of] Barbara Myerhoff. Number Our Days, Michele Zak
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Number Our Days had its genesis in a research project on ethnicity and again at the University of Southern California where author Barbara Myerhoff is chairman of the department of anthropology. Her study of a group of elderly Jews living on and around the beach in Venice, California and who were members of the Aliyah Senior Citizens' Center, was undertaken reluctantly after Professor Myerhoff encountered resistance among the elderly Chicanos she had intended to study. The study absorbed four years of her life and ended in this record of surpassing warmth and intelligence of the past and present of a …

Abstracts Of Papers Presented At The 8th Annual Conference On Ethnic And Minority Studies
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
On November 10, 1939 at Benedict College, a black institution in Columbia, black South Carolinians met to organize a state unit of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Poeple [People] (NAACP). The main objective of the new organization, the South Carolina Conference of NAACP, was to create an effective instrument to be used for propaganda, fund-raising and litigation purposes, and to function as a united front in the struggle to reclaim the ballot. From the outset, the State Conference sought to create a mass-supported organization. Membership drives were initiated to enlarge the existing branches and to set up …

One Decade And The Politics Of Ethnic Studies: Focus For The Future, Charles C. Irby
One Decade And The Politics Of Ethnic Studies: Focus For The Future, Charles C. Irby
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The first decade of coloured ethnic studies has passed quietly. This uncelebrated passing is probably more related to what did not occur in conceptual, methodological, and theoretical developments during the ten-year period than what did, in fact, happen. The decade can be characterized as one in which the ethnic studies movement suffered from intellectual dropsy. The politics of ethnic studies are all of those activities which have served to restrict its development.

Explorations in Ethnic Studies stands at another threshold. With the current issue. the present editor will hand over the editorial reins to Dr. Charles Irby. The present editor has brought Explorations through six issues and the foundation for the journal has been set. The criteria and standards have been hammered out. We now know that each article must explore new ground, set forth solutions to an ethnic issue, or structure a new model. It will not be easy to carry on the beginnings. Yet, if Ethnic Studies are to survive and flourish, the journal must go on and it must …

[Review Of] Tato Laviera. La Carreta Made A U-Turn, Wolfgang Binder
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The title of this new book of poetry from New York's Latino Lower East Side refers to a drama, La Carreta, by one of Puerto Rico’s most prestigious authors, René Marqués (1919-1979). It is generally considered one of the supreme artistic expressions of the collective Puerto Rican experience. At the end of the play the emigrants decide to leave New York City in an attempt to maintain their integrity and identity, to till the earth in the hills of Puerto Rico.

As a guest editor, it seems most proper to give attention and thoughts to the National Association for Interdisciplinary Ethnic Studies (NAIES), which by its very nature is a unique and singular organization. We have little in common with the larger professional academic entities. We are small In membership, but have the capacity to operate on the national level.
