Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The National Association of Interdisciplinary Ethnic Studies (NAIES)was organized at the University of Wisconsin - La Crosse during the third annual meeting of the Minority Studies Conference in the spring of 1975. The founding of the "association," with its unwieldy title that was changed a year later, resulted from a meeting of about a dozen persons

Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Carl O. Sauer, the late dean of North American anthropogeography, noted that: We are touching upon a very serious topic that Americans, with their emphasis on acculturation, Americanization, and so forth, have never explored properly. Our own cultural minorities, living and surviving, persisting in some of their own attitudes of values and consciences, have a seminal as well as a historical significance as long as they resist absorption into the general pattern, but we pay little attention to them.1

Education And The Images Of The American Indian, Gretchen Bataille
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Looking at any schedule of college courses, one is likely to find several classes which come under the rubric of ethnic studies. The courses are popular with teachers and students alike because they represent a change of pace from traditional study. Hopefully, such courses suggest a move toward an appreciation and recognition of the cultural diversity in America and mean that, as a nation, we are ready to follow the suggestion of Louis Ballard, American Indian composer and author, who stated that "cultural differences should be honored, not merely 'accepted,' which is nothing more than a synonym for 'tolerated.'" In …
A Perceived Ethnic Factor In California's Farm Labor Conflict: The Nisei Farmers League, Stephen S. Fugita
A Perceived Ethnic Factor In California's Farm Labor Conflict: The Nisei Farmers League, Stephen S. Fugita
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The farm labor conflict has been volatile for over three quarters of a century in California's rich agriculture valleys. The most recent years of this struggle have been associated with Cesar Chavez and the United Farm Worker’s Union (UFW). A new element, the Nisei Farmers League (NFL), also emerged during the same time period. The NFL was formed in 1971 after some Japanese American farmers were picketed and their property damaged by persons sympathetic to the UFW. These growers charged that they had been "singled out" by the UFW in their area. Their ranches are located in central San Joaquin …

[Review Of] Joel Schor, Henry Highland Garnet: A Voice In Black Radicalism In The Nineteenth Century, Michael J. Stanke
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Ninety-five years ago in Liberia, Africa, Henry Highland Garnet died. Besides being an ardent abolitionist, Garnet was also a Presbyterian minister, newspaper editor, orator, author, and political organizer. Historian George Washington Williams personally observed that Garnet's oratory was "equal in ability to Frederick Douglass, especially in logic and terse statement." Carter G. Woodson stated that "Garnet created the ideas which Frederick Douglass tempered and presented to the world in a more palliative and acceptable form." Despite Garnet's accomplishments, almost a century has passed in which Garnet's biography remained unwritten. Happily, Joel Schor has filled that void with his book, Henry …

Are you a member of the Anti-Slavery Society? It would be interesting to know how many members of NAIES know that there is such an organization. The question of membership was asked of the editor this past summer when in London, England, working on a research project The answer was "no"; however, in July, 1977, the rolls of the Anti-Slavery Society for the Protection of Human Rights did increase by one, and the number of members in the United States jumped significantly. The most recent membership report listed a total Society membership of 907. The number of members in the …
[Review Of] Milton J. Esman (Ed.), Ethnic Conflict In The Western World, Hardy T. Frye
[Review Of] Milton J. Esman (Ed.), Ethnic Conflict In The Western World, Hardy T. Frye
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Ethnic conflict has reemerged in the economic and political arenas of the western world, less between nation states, more within the boundaries of particular nations. The type of conflict that emerged in the United States during the 1950's and 1960's was racial, in sharp contrast to the ethnonationalist conflict in western Europe and Canada. The latter has a long history and has been shaped by cultural, linguistic, and religious differences. This conflict declined after World War II but is now back on the scene. The explanation of its return is one of the major purposes of this book. A second …
[Review Of] Jane B. Katz (Ed.), I Am The Fire Of Time: The Voices Of Native American Women, Gretchen Bataille
[Review Of] Jane B. Katz (Ed.), I Am The Fire Of Time: The Voices Of Native American Women, Gretchen Bataille
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Speaking at the Annual Conference on Ethnic and Minority Studies in April, Bea Medicine admonished the audience that rather than lament the work which has not yet been done by or about Native American women, we must recognize the significance and breadth of what has already been written. I Am the Fire of Time shows just that. The selections come from nineteenth century transcripts as well as from contemporary women poets and activists. Over and over the reader is reminded that the Native American woman was not and is not the drudge or burden bearer portrayed in American fiction and …

Close Encounters Of Three Kinds: The Writing Of Indian History, A Review Essay, Martin Zanger
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Can non-Indians write ”Indian history”? Professor Roy W. Meyer, Director of American Studies at Mankato State University, confronts himself with that vexing question in the prefatory remarks to his survey of the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara peoples from pre-European contact times through the 1970‘s. Although Meyer‘s book is a case study of specific Indian societies, a number of themes he emphasizes will be useful for teachers and students who are not specialists in Indian studies.

Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The theme of equal educational opportunity was a major concern of the urban Chicano Movement in the late sixties. Chicanos accused the entire school system of racism and insensitivity towards the Chicano community. Schools, declared the activists, used institutionalized techniques such as intelligence tests and a tracking system to insure that disproportional numbers of Chicano children would be placed in vocational education courses or in classes for the mentally retarded.

Review Of Videotape Presented At The 6th Annual Conference On Ethnic And Minority Studies: Alan Hertzberg, The Autobiography Of Miss Jane Dubois, James D. Henderson
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
To say that The Autobiography of Miss Jane Dubois is an exciting new departure in the venerable art of autobiography does not do full justice to the work under review here. Nor is it sufficient to say that in giving us this study of human life, producer Alan Hertzberg proves that works of integrity and high purpose can be crafted by the video artist, holding out the promise that if it would, American television could lift itself from the slough of mediocrity in which it has ever wallowed. What makes this twelve- chapter study an unforgettable experience is Jane Dubois …
