[Review Of] Anna Lee Stensland. Literature By And About The American Indian, Dona Hoilman
[Review Of] Anna Lee Stensland. Literature By And About The American Indian, Dona Hoilman
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
This annotated bibliography, an expanded version of Stensland’s 1973 publication of the same title, broadens the scope of works included considerably. The earlier edition was intended as a guide for teachers of secondary students; the present edition also includes annotations by Aune Fadum of some 200 books for pupils in the elementary grades. Some of the 1973 annotations of important secondary level books have been retained, but the emphasis is on books published since that date. Books about Indians from Mexico and Canada are included. All together nearly 800 titles are mentioned.
[Review Of] Linda Pegman Doezema (Ed.). Dutch Americans: A Guide To Information Sources, Lois J. Kalloway
[Review Of] Linda Pegman Doezema (Ed.). Dutch Americans: A Guide To Information Sources, Lois J. Kalloway
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Ethnic-immigration history was once primarily the domain of ethnic-immigration historians. Over the past fifteen years, however, the development of the new social history has shown that studies of ethnicity, class, cities, families, and workers are interdependent. Josef Barton's study of urban mobility, John Cumbler's analysis of workers' militancy, and Laurence Glasco’s examination of life cycles all demonstrate this point. This expanding interest by social analysts increases the need for comprehensive bibliographic studies in ethnicity. Linda Doezema’s recent monograph helps fill the void for one frequently neglected group -- the Dutch.
The Doukhobors In Canada - Conflict And Social Change, 1900-1976, K. J. Bradley, J. S. Frideres
The Doukhobors In Canada - Conflict And Social Change, 1900-1976, K. J. Bradley, J. S. Frideres
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
he present study will document the number of acts of violence carried out by the Doukhobors in Canada during the period 1900-1976 as well as assess the influence of two potentially important causal factors: (i) leadership style and (ii) stress and strain on the incidence of violence. While a great deal has been written on the Doukhobors, much of the material is of a “sensational” variety and lacks any serious analytical framework. Few researchers have tried to systematically document the actual number of conflicts engaged in by Doukhobors or relate these periodic episodes of conflict to potential causes.

Editor's Corner, George E. Carter
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
What will remain of Ethnic Studies in the 1980's? At the 7th Annual Conference on Ethnic and Minority Studies, away from the formal sessions and speakers, one heard a good deal of gloom and doom regarding the future of Ethnic Studies. The same dismal theme was present at several other major national conferences held during Spring 1979. It would be easy to conclude that Ethnic Studies is on its last legs and quietly will fade into oblivion.
[Review Of] Georgina Ashworth (Ed.). World Minorities, Asad Husain
[Review Of] Georgina Ashworth (Ed.). World Minorities, Asad Husain
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
At the present time, World Minorities is a very appropriate title for a book, since it coincides with the thirtieth anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and President Jimmy Carter's strong, favorable stand for them. The publication of the second volume of World Minorities by the Minority Rights Group based in London, England, is a welcome addition to the many voices recently raised to safeguard and in defense of the rights of minorities around the world.

[Review Of] David R. Weber (Ed.), Civil Disobedience In America, A Documentary History, George E. Carter
[Review Of] David R. Weber (Ed.), Civil Disobedience In America, A Documentary History, George E. Carter
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Here is an important book which should be on the required reading list of all Americans. It is imperative reading for ethnic and minority group members. In this anthology, Mr. Weber gets to one of the fundamental issues in American society, liberty of conscience, and what the individual should do if civil authority clashes with conscience. The dualistic nature of justice in American society--one code for the whites, one for minorities; one for the rich, and one for the poor--makes this book as relevant to individual Americans today as it might have been at any point in American history.

[Review Of] Ernest R. Myers, The Community Psychology Concept: Integrating Theory, Education, And Practice In Psychology, Social Work, And Public Administration, George E. Clarke
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Psychologists and other social scientists are critically analyzing the “state of the art” of community psychology. Their question is how this developing discipline can be best organized for pursuit of knowledge needed to bring about positive community change.

[Review Of] H. Craig Miner And William E. Unrau. The End Of Indian Kansas: A Study Of Cultural Revolution 1854-1871, George W. Sieber
[Review Of] H. Craig Miner And William E. Unrau. The End Of Indian Kansas: A Study Of Cultural Revolution 1854-1871, George W. Sieber
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The forced removal of thousands of Indians from eastern Kansas between 1854 and 1871 adversely affected even more Native Americans and occupied even more government time than did the struggle between the army and the tribesmen of the western plains, who forcibly resisted subjugation.

[Review Of] James A. Clifton. The Prairie People: Continuity And Change In Potawatomi Indian Culture, 1665-1965, Kenneth M. Morrison
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Until very recently, Indian history existed in the doldrums of guilt and ethnocentric misunderstanding. Since Indians were preeminently the great American obstacle to the inexorable process of United States expansion and progress, they have been relegated to the quiet, but nasty, fringes of Euroamerican history. Indians were destroyed or degraded in national chronicles. Sorry remnants of once proud peoples, reservation Indians, the story line goes, remained obstinately and hopelessly beyond the winds of change.
[Review Of] Gretchen M. Bataille, David M. Gradwohl, And Charles L. P. Silet (Eds.), The Worlds Between Two Rivers: Perspectives On American Indians In Iowa, William Bedford Clark
[Review Of] Gretchen M. Bataille, David M. Gradwohl, And Charles L. P. Silet (Eds.), The Worlds Between Two Rivers: Perspectives On American Indians In Iowa, William Bedford Clark
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The presentation of symposia papers in book form poses several editorial problems, the chief of which is maintaining a unity of focus between the various offerings. With one or two notable exceptions, the papers in this collection treat aspects of the Native-American experience within the boundaries of the present state of Iowa, but, unfortunately, that rubric is too broad to provide an organizing principle definite enough to hold the book together. The result is something of a mixed bag. Although each of the papers is presented as a “chapter” and some attempt at cross-reference between individual papers is made, it …
[Review Of] Francesco Cordasco (Ed.), Italian Americans: A Guide To Information Sources, Frank J. Cavaioli
[Review Of] Francesco Cordasco (Ed.), Italian Americans: A Guide To Information Sources, Frank J. Cavaioli
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The great proliferation of knowledge that has caused a problem of control and retrieval of that knowledge has caught up with the expanding field of research in ethnic-immigration history. Francesco Cordasco’s newly edited work, Italian Americans: A Guide to Information Sources, therefore is a major contribution in the field. The student of ethnic-immigration history and the related social sciences will find it a useful tool because it is the most comprehensive up-to-date bibliographical register on the Italian Americans. The book is Volume 2 in Gale's Ethnic Studies Information Guide Series dealing with ethnic groups in the United States.

[Review Of] Kay Graber (Ed.), Sister To The Sioux: The Memoirs Of Elaine Goodale Eastman, 1885-91, Gretchen Bataille
[Review Of] Kay Graber (Ed.), Sister To The Sioux: The Memoirs Of Elaine Goodale Eastman, 1885-91, Gretchen Bataille
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Elaine Goodale Eastman was a white woman from the East who decided early in her life that her “mission” was to educate the Sioux Indians of the Dakotas. The memoirs, published in 1978, were written in the thirties from notes and diaries kept by the writer from 1885-1891. Thus, there are three distinct periods of time the contemporary reader must consider.

[Review Of] John L. Hodge, Donald K. Struckmann, And Lynn Dorland Trost, Cultural Bases Of Racism And Group Oppression: An Examination Of Traditional "Western" Concepts, Values, And Institutional Structures Which Support Racism, Sexism And Elitism, Lillie Alexis
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Dualism, a concept that simply tends to view the world in terms of “either-or” categories rather than “both . . . and,” has been examined and analyzed as the primary contributor to and cause of Western domination. The dangers of dualistic thinking are, according to Hodge et al., habit forming and unconscious. The Western practitioners of such thinking trace their ideology to the ancient Greek philosophers whose ideas support and reinforce existing oppressive patterns.

New Skin: Ellison, Jung, And The Unconscious, Dona Hoilman
New Skin: Ellison, Jung, And The Unconscious, Dona Hoilman
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Marshall McLuhan contends that the electric media, television in particular, have given Americans the means of instant, total awareness both of themselves, especially of their unconscious or subliminal states, and of others, who may differ in skin color or points of view but with whom total social involvement is now not only desirable, but absolutely necessary in the ontological sense of the word. However, though television may have made us more conscious of our unconscious and more aware of the dynamic relationship between other individuals’ well-being and our own, the mutual feeding and forming and mutilating of one another’s psyches …
Asian Americans In Psychiatric Systems, Niel Tashima
Asian Americans In Psychiatric Systems, Niel Tashima
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Prior to the l960's, very little interest had been shown in researching patterns of American utilization of mental health facilities. The notion of culturally different patterns of psychological “normalcy” for Asian Americans as a distinct population had not been adequately explored. Although a few case studies of Asian-American patients did appear in the literature from time to time, no extensive or systematic research into the demographic and psychological characteristics of Asian-American patient populations had been presented.
[Review Of] Ruth Nulton Moore. TomáS And The Talking Birds, Ricardo A. ValdéS
[Review Of] Ruth Nulton Moore. TomáS And The Talking Birds, Ricardo A. ValdéS
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Children's literature should be of great importance to all of us, regardless of whether we are parents. The opinions and social views assimilated in childhood will often have long-lasting and far-reaching effects. Western novels as well as cowboy movies bear a great deal of the responsibility for the attitude of many Americans that Indians are, for the most part, treacherous savages and, at best, the sidekick to a masked white man. Tomás and the Talking Birds is at once both encouraging and disappointing. It is encouraging because it is responding to a great need in our society, but it is …
Editor's Corner: Ethnic Studies Leadership?, George E. Carter
Editor's Corner: Ethnic Studies Leadership?, George E. Carter
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
NAIES and its journal, Explorations in Ethnic Studies, from their inception have tried to address the question of leadership within Ethnic Studies. A quick survey from a national perspective leaves one with a fear that no one is providing much in the way of leadership. The same situation seems to prevail at the state and local levels. Yet, more and more prominence is given to the multiethnic makeup and experience of American society. There is an obvious inconsistency involved in this situation. Why is there no national policy on ethnic studies or on the crucial issues facing American society generated …
[Review Of] Bettylou Valentine. Hustling And Other Hard Work: Life Styles In The Ghetto, Carl Mack Jr.
[Review Of] Bettylou Valentine. Hustling And Other Hard Work: Life Styles In The Ghetto, Carl Mack Jr.
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Prior to receiving Ms. Valentine's book, Hustling and Other Hard Work, this reviewer felt a sense of pessimism. That is, here is another book trying to clarify black folk's problems. This pessimistic sense is especially acute during this time when the label “minority” is still being used to lump millions of people together when their cultural-racial diversity defies such grouping. (This minority grouping oftentimes serves as a comment label or package for old racist attitudes and stereotypes.)
[Review Of] Barbara Dodds Stanford And Karima Amin. Black Literature For High School Students, James L. Lafky
[Review Of] Barbara Dodds Stanford And Karima Amin. Black Literature For High School Students, James L. Lafky
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Of all the annotated bibliographies of black literature that have crossed this writer's desk during the past thirteen years, Black Literature for High School Students is certainly the most complete. By virtue of its being twelve years later than Abraham Chapman's The Negro in American Literature (Wisconsin Council of Teachers of English), the Stanford-Amin effort is newer; it has recency. Their book also has a few other virtues.
[Review Of] Barry D. Adam. The Survival Of Domination, Georgina Ashworth
[Review Of] Barry D. Adam. The Survival Of Domination, Georgina Ashworth
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The project area of The Survival of Domination is of great importance; the title is splendid; the Elsevier presentation is excellent. Yet it disappoints. The author sets out to examine the invisible mechanisms that keep social groups in their place when the overt legal discrimination against them may have been tinkered with sufficiently to remove its worst effects. Barry Adam is very specific about his intentions to focus on the every- day strategies oppressed communities evolve and use, individually and as members of that community, to survive.
[Review Of] Barbara A. Curran, The Legal Needs Of The Public: The Final Report Of A National Survey, Laurence A. French
[Review Of] Barbara A. Curran, The Legal Needs Of The Public: The Final Report Of A National Survey, Laurence A. French
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
This is a substantial report sponsored by a number of legal associations (American Bar Association and American Bar Endowment) and foundations (Edna McConnel Clark Foundation and International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans) and the Carnegie Corporation of New York. By its own assertion: “This study is the first, and to date only, such survey based on a national sample representing the adult population of the United States. Moreover, it provides a more comprehensive examination of the legal experiences and perceptions of the public than has been undertaken by any earlier survey.”

[Review Of] Charles V. Willie And Ronald R. Edmonds (Eds.). Black Colleges In America: Challenge, Development, Survival, Lafayette W. Lipscomb
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
This book is a collection of articles from the Black College Conference held at Harvard University in March and April of 1976. The authors are experienced administrators, teachers, and students of our nation's black colleges and universities. This book attempts, through firsthand recording, through documentation of historical fact, and through analysis of governance, financing, and institutional role, to eradicate the negative images of our nation's black colleges and universities.
