[Review Of] Raymond L. Hall. Black Separatism In The United States, Lillie Alexis
[Review Of] Raymond L. Hall. Black Separatism In The United States, Lillie Alexis
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
A startling look at black separatist movements of the past reveals interesting facts that parallel the rise and fall of the contemporary organizations with separatist ideologies. The author focuses on the period from 1960 to 1972, analyzing five black social movement organizations: The Nation of Islam/Black Muslims, The Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), the Student Non-Violent (later National) Coordinating Committee (SNCC), the Black Panther Party, and the Republic of New Africa (RNA).
Joint Faculty Appointments: An Administrative Dilemma In Chicano Studies, Eugene E. Garcia
Joint Faculty Appointments: An Administrative Dilemma In Chicano Studies, Eugene E. Garcia
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
A comprehensive proposal for an academic program in Chicano Studies for the University of California, Santa Barbara, was submitted to the Executive Committee of the College of Letters and Science on April A, 1969. The program evolved from an extensive investigation of the assessed needs of the local Chicano community, the role of the University toward that community, and the general responsibility of the University to the student community with respect to educational and research endeavors related to the Chicano.
[Review Of] Joseph Hraba. American Ethnicity, Barbara Hiura
[Review Of] Joseph Hraba. American Ethnicity, Barbara Hiura
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Hraba uses the social science disciplines--i.e., sociology, history, and psychology--to set the scope of his research on American ethnicity. Hraba combines the theoretical premises of assimilation, pluralism, and ethnic conflict theory as methods for Viewing ethnic group convergence to and divergence from American society. "Each theory is only a partial explanation of societal modernization and ethnic evolution . . . and together they offer a fuller understanding of ethnic evolution in the modernization process" (p. 7). Societal modernization and ethnic evolution are keys for understanding the convergence (inclusion) and divergence (exclusion) process.

[Review Of] John Anthony Scott. Hard Trials On My Way: Slavery And The Struggle Against It, 1800-1860, John C. Walter
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
In the beginning the history of slavery was written in political and institutional terms, and very little attention was paid to what the day-to-day participants in this odious adventure had to say. With time, historians realized they had to take into account personal views, feelings, and reminiscences of the participants, but this realization brought about predominantly the recollections and opinions of white people. This was so because it was generally accepted that most black people were illiterate and had little to say for themselves. It was understood also that when they said anything, it would be exaggerated and self-serving and, …
Racial Minorities In U.S. History Textbooks: A Case For A More Systematic Approach To Textbook Evaluation, Jesus Garcia
Racial Minorities In U.S. History Textbooks: A Case For A More Systematic Approach To Textbook Evaluation, Jesus Garcia
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
A few decades ago, textbook adoption proceedings were relatively dull affairs. Present at these meetings were political, business, and labor interest group representatives who were primarily concerned with the treatment their constituencies received in textbooks, especially social studies texts. Expressing common concerns, board members and traditional interest group representatives only occasionally debated what ought to be included in social studies texts. The dealings rarely bordered on the sensational and, in most cases, resulted in minimal discussion and acceptance of texts recommended for adoption by a board's textbook committee.

[Review Of] Roberto V. Vallangca. Pinoy: The First Wave, Masayuki Sato
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The importance of documenting “oral histories” in print has to be emphasized among all Pacific Asian American groups. Dr. Roberto Vallangca has done a superb job and should be rewarded greatly as an encouragement to others to document the personal histories of the “old timers” who immigrated to Hawaii and mainland United States before the war.

Abstracts Of Papers Presented At The 7th Annual Conference On Ethnic And Minority Studies
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
This paper reviews some of the most salient aspects of E. M. Rogg's (1974) seminal work, The Assimilation of Cuban Exiles; The Role of Community and Class--a sociological study of the Cuban community in the town of West New York in northeastern New Jersey. Although taking issue with some of the author's theses, this paper elaborates on other findings of the book in question by means of more recent participant-observation field research in the same neighborhood. For example, the new data confirms Rogg's proposition that the organized ethnic minority helps to direct the process of acculturation, though slowly.

Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Ethnic studies is a rather strange field. In the first place, it is not a "field" in the traditional sense of other academic disciplines, but rather it seeks to include any and all disciplines. Second, it deals with people, and as our colleagues in the so-called "behavioral sciences" have discovered, people are perhaps the most unpredictable of all living things to study, thus the problems are many. Third, many of the subjects which we in ethnic studies have chosen to research, by the very nature of the fact that we deal with ethnic minorities, have tended to strike others not …
Pasta Or Paradigm: The Place Of Italian-American Women In Popular Film, Daniel Golden
Pasta Or Paradigm: The Place Of Italian-American Women In Popular Film, Daniel Golden
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The year is 1930, the film is Little Caesar, and Hollywood begins its long and often irresponsible tradition of portraying the Italian-American male as gangster, thug, sociopath. The gangster genre has traditionally focused on male activities--men in groups, their rites of passage into underworld manhood, and their perverted American dreams of success achieved through community extortion, syndicated corruption, and blood murder. But hidden in the story of Caesar Enrico Bandello, who has justifiably been called our "archetypal" film gangster, we also discover fragmentary, but important, early portrayals of the Italian woman in America.

[Review Of] William E. Sims, Black Studies: Pitfalls And Potential, Adlean Harris
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
According to the author of this important study, the students who instigated the demand for Black Studies were a “new breed” of Black students. They were different from the White Majority in their manners, speech, style of dressing, and walking. They were also different from their Black predecessors in these same areas. In addition, they were veterans of the Civil Rights Movement; their heroes were Black activists--Ralph Brown, Malcolm X, and Eldridge Cleaver; they had no intention of “escaping the ghetto.”
[Review Of] John Higham (Ed.), Ethnic Leadership In America, Edith Blicksilver
[Review Of] John Higham (Ed.), Ethnic Leadership In America, Edith Blicksilver
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The growing awareness of America's ethnic pluralism has become one of the factors shaping modern American history. Ethnic writers, as well as ethnic leaders, began the task of illuminating the meaning of their own historic and cultural traditions within the larger contexts of the nation and of the world. They have served as interpreters of their people.

[Review Of] Orlando Romero, Nambe--Year One, Vernon E. Lattin
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
In the last few years the New Mexican Chicano narrative has taken a significant place within Chicano fiction. Writers like Anaya, Candelaria, and Ulibarri have revealed the uniqueness of being Chicano in New Mexico, often writing about the people who have maintained their century-old ties with past customs and ways of life. Orlando Romero’s novel, Nambe--Year One, adds a new and interesting voice to this growing body of literature.

[Review Of] Barbara Bryant Solomon, Black Empowerment: Social Work In Oppressed Communities, Emma Turner Lucas
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
At long last an issue of great importance to the Black communit [community] in the social work arena has been addressed. The commencement of social service programs in the l960's brought about an even greate [greater] need for a deeper understanding of the effects of social ills on minorities, especially Blacks. While some individuals had good intentions of bringing about this understanding, they lacked the necessary familiarity with the Black community and its conditions. Black Empowerment addresses itself to this concern by describing the operational mobility of the Black community within a larger society.

[Review Of] Virginia Vans-Mclaughlin, Family And Community, Italian Immigrants In Buffalo, 1880-1930, Frank J. Cavaioli
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Virginia Yans-McLaughlin has made a major contribution to the study of ethnic immigration history, in general, and to the existing knowledge of the Italian Americans, in particular. In Family and Community, Italian Immigrants in Buffalo, 1880—1930, she explores the relationship between the social and economic roots of the contadini from the Italian mezzogiorno and their life in urban industrial America.

[Review Of] Robert A. Huttenback, Racism And Empire: White Settlers And Coloured Immigrants In The British Self-Governing Colonies 1820-1910, Georgina Ashworth
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The events in Queensland, and particularly Western Australia, just before the December 1977 General Election would be recognizable to anyone who had read Richard A. Huttenback's Racism and Empire. The dishonorable attempt to disenfranchise the illiterate Aborigines--which was foiled only by a Cabinet Minister crossing the floor and the casting vote of the speaker--was a direct inheritance of the "Natal formula," which is the main exercise of Huttenback's book. The formula was, in its purest form, simply a means, by language and literacy testing, of "keeping unwanted immigrants out of a colony through the use of a mechanism which seemed …

Abstracts Of Papers Presented At The 6th Annual Conference On Ethnic And Minority Studies
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Before developing programs to help minority women, program developers should assess themselves. White men usually create problems that cause minority women to need programs developed. White men who have had minimal social contact with minority women are not qualified to solve minority women's problems. White men ask white women and minority men to give assistance in solving minority women's problems. White women, who have been considered superior to minority women because of social, educational, or economical circumstances, are not qualified to solve minority women's problems. Minority men who have chauvinist values and do not have minority women's concerns at heart …

The "Barbarous Massacre" Reconsidered: The Powhatan Uprising Of 1622 And The Historians, J. Frederick Fausz
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The Powhatan Uprising of March 22, 1621/22, was the single most significant event of Anglo-Indian relations in Virginia. An early example of a native culture’s rebellion against intruding European civilization, the uprising climaxed a mere decade and a half of intercultural contact. Its impact upon trans-Atlantic ideology and policy was impressive: it brought to an end the first (forty year) phase of British imperialis [imperialist] accelerated Virginia's unique course of development, and hastened the doom of an American Indian empire with vast potential.

The Asian Woman In America, Gloria L. Kumagai
The Asian Woman In America, Gloria L. Kumagai
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Both females and males, regardless of their racial ethnic group, are seriously limited in their information about Asian women. Far too often the system educates individuals about race and sex as two distinct and separate categories. Consequently, Asian women, as well as other women of color, are viewed either as members of their ethnic group or their sexual group, and rarely as members of both groups simultaneously. This paper presents an overview of the historical context and the present-day status of Asian women in America as well as implications for education and change.
[Review Of] Ernesto Galarza, Farm Workers And Agri-Business In California, 1947-1960, Rosa Fernandez
[Review Of] Ernesto Galarza, Farm Workers And Agri-Business In California, 1947-1960, Rosa Fernandez
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The reader who is already familiar with Galarza's work will not find it surprising that once again he has done a painstaking job of writing this account of the history of agricultural workers in California during the years l947 to 1960. Contrary to Galarza's own fears that the academically minded might find his book ”insufficient“ and the list of suggested readings ”too thin,” Farm Workers and Agri-business in California, 1947-1960 provides the reader with a wealth of information based on careful research and on Galarza's own recollections of his experiences as a farm worker and union organizer during that period.

Editor's Corner, George E. Carter
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Since the inception of NAIES, the matter of the organization serving as a communications network has been one of some concern. The need for this kind of activity within the Association is self-evident. When a program, person, or institution encounters difficulty, the existence of a vehicle which can bring to bear external pressure can often be extremely useful. Some might raise the question of being seen as an “outside agitator,” but given the scope of the membership of NAIES, this kind of pressure can often be brought from closeby. The matter of a network for communication also opens the door …
