Ethnicity And Empowerment: Implications For Psychological Training In The 1980s, Linda M.C. Abbott
Ethnicity And Empowerment: Implications For Psychological Training In The 1980s, Linda M.C. Abbott
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Psychological services, as a part of the health-care system, have been "embedded in specific configurations of cultural meanings and social relationships,"[1] and the role of patients and healers cannot be understood apart from that context. This article explores the failure of psychology to effectively address the inhibiting impact of racism on human development, and it suggests a corrective agenda for the training of socially responsive and responsible psychologists, an agenda derived from the literacy education model of Paulo Freire.

Explorations in Ethnic Studies
"Haudenosaunee," you say? "And how do you spell that?" I asked. That was my response to Thadodahho at Onondaga in the summer of 1983 as he raised my consciousness about the name Iroquois as used by the French and the name Haudenosaunee as the People name themselves.

Critique [Of Perception And Power Through Naming: Characters In Search Of Self In The Fiction Of Toni Morrison By Linda Buck Myers], Marco Portales
Critique [Of Perception And Power Through Naming: Characters In Search Of Self In The Fiction Of Toni Morrison By Linda Buck Myers], Marco Portales
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
There is always something final, of having said much of what appears to need saying, when we deal with opposites, when we discuss anything in terms of antipodes. Linda Buck Myers's article, "Perception and Power through Naming: Characters in Search of a Self in the Fiction of Toni Morrison," gives me this feeling; and, having considered the matter, she has not "said everything,'' but she has pointed the way and perceptively located what should become a main vein in the study of Toni Morrison. Language has always been the very stuff of literature, and Myers is correct in highlighting Morrison's …

[Review Of] Joseph Bruchac, Ed. Breaking Silence: An Anthology Of Contemporary Asian American Poets, James B. Irby
[Review Of] Joseph Bruchac, Ed. Breaking Silence: An Anthology Of Contemporary Asian American Poets, James B. Irby
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Bruchac has compiled an anthology of contemporary Amerasian poets who speak in clear and melodious voices. These poets of Hawaiian, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, and Filipino backgrounds present and affirm fresh ideas and viewpoints in poetic form. They offer an understanding of their backgrounds through variant ideas. Each one captures some sense of her or his background culture and shows how their individual lives have been affected by it.
[Review Of] Jack D. Forbes. Native Americans And Nixon: Presidential Politics And Minority Self-Determination 1969-1972, George W. Sieber
[Review Of] Jack D. Forbes. Native Americans And Nixon: Presidential Politics And Minority Self-Determination 1969-1972, George W. Sieber
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
In Native Americans and Nixon, Jack D. Forbes, author of several monographs on the Indian in America's past, has undertaken an important subject, one also difficult because essential sources are lacking. Forbes therefore employs a number of hedges such as "we can only guess" (116) in his conjecture about the motives and actions of the Nixon administration relative to Indian Americans. In a foreword taking twenty-three of the 124 pages of "text," Roxanne Dunbar Ortiz of California State University, Hayward, sets the theme of "neocolonialism." Explaining the background of post-World War II techniques of colonial control, she states that "Hundreds …
[Review Of] James D. Sexton, Ed. Son Of Tecun Uman: A Maya Indian Tells His Life Story, Lyle Koehler
[Review Of] James D. Sexton, Ed. Son Of Tecun Uman: A Maya Indian Tells His Life Story, Lyle Koehler
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Although many Indians north of the Rio Grande have published autobiographies, few Latin American natives have done so. Thus, Northern Arizona University anthropologist James D. Sexton's records of interviews with one Tzutuhil Maya from San Jose, Guatemala, and that Indian's preparation of a personal journal (1972- 1 977) yield incredible promise. The Maya, whom Sexton terms a son of the sixteenth century Quiche warrior prince Tecun Uman, has written a highly readable account of Indian society in one village and his own role in it. Sexton has given the diarist the name Ignacio Bizarro Uipan, "for the sake of anonymity," …

[Review Of] Robert L. Allen. Reluctant Reformers: Racism And Social Reform Movements In The United Stales, Linda M. C. Abbott
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Allen, editor of The Black Scholar and chair of the Mills College Ethnic Studies Department, reviews in this volume the ideological impact of racism on six distinct social reform movements in United States history. Chronologically presented, the movements begin immediately after the war for independence and extend into the contemporary era.
[Review Of] Robert J. De Pietro And Edward Ifkovic, Eds. Ethnic Perspectives In American Literature: Selected Essays On The European Contribution, Stewart Rodnon
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Because of the present concentrated push to reshape our view of American literature, the battle to include more ethnic and female writers in the traditional stream of our literature is clearly being won, and the salad bowl is replacing the melting pot as a central metaphor in our writing. Correctly, editors DePietro and Ifkovic in this sourcebook emphasize that now various European ethnic groups have been sparked to cultural pluralism by the raising of our consciousness during the past two decades to the riches in black, brown, and red literatures. Further, they indicate that several bibliographies of ethnic writings now …
[Review Of] Jamake Highwater. The Sun, He Dies, Mic Denfeld
[Review Of] Jamake Highwater. The Sun, He Dies, Mic Denfeld
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
How do we ever own our history? How do we ever come to grips with our fairy tales of that history? How do we ever rationalize genocide? The Sun, He Dies makes us ask. Aztec Mexico is presented with its intricacies and intrigues, dreams and realities in this fictional piece based on folk history and historical documents. Nanuatzin, the "woodcutter," is the invented character who ties the events together and presents this alternative view of history that we must face. In the "Afterward and Notes on Sources," Highwater states, " History is always the account of events as seen and …

[Review Of] A. Partes And C. Hirschman, Eds. "Special Issue: Theory And Methods In Migration And Ethnic Research," International Migration Review, John P. Roche
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
The summer, 1982, edition of the International Migration Review is a special issue. It contains eight articles which are revisions of papers presented at the Conference on Immigration and Ethnicity Theory and Research, held at Duke University in May, 1981. The purpose of this meeting was to assess the state of knowledge in the field, present new findings and ideas, and identify areas for future investigation. Special attention was given to the determinants of migration, the reception of ethnic minorities, and changes over time.

[Review Of] Jay C. Chunn, Ii, Patricia J. Dunston, And Fariyal Ross-Sheriff, Eds. Mental Health And People Of Color: Curriculum Development And Change, Linda M. C. Abbott
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
American colleges, universities, and medical schools have developed elaborate structures for the study, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental illness and associated problems in living. The history of psychological training is not value free, but rather is imbedded in the general history of the culture, and reflective of its problematic issues. Whatever theoretical perspective mental health practitioners are trained in, whatever internship experiences are designed to complement the instructional program, the rates of success in identifying and resolving difficulties vary with the ethnicity of their clients. Success is shown disproportionately for a limited population-the clients of European American background. In …

[Review Of] Cav. Valentine J. Belfiglio. The Italian Experience In Texas, Marvin Harris
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Many people, even native Texans, may be surprised to learn the extent to which Italians have been present and influential in Texas, especially since the late nineteenth century. They are aware of the various cultures that settled the state, such as Hispanics, Germans, Czechoslovakians, and blacks; yet few know that "Italians have been a part of the history of the state since 1540."
[Review Of] Richard J. Fapso. Norwegians In Wisconsin, Marilyn Meisenheimer
[Review Of] Richard J. Fapso. Norwegians In Wisconsin, Marilyn Meisenheimer
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
The pamphlet opens with a description of Norway, the land and its agricultural economy, the increased population that resulted from the industrial revolution, and the development of a cash economy. Three pages of photographs and a map of land use in Norway supplement this section. The fixed classes of the agricultural system included a large number of border or freeholders and husbands or cotters who considered themselves free but who were often landless despite their free status. In 1825, Norwegian migration to America began, by 1 835 it had picked up speed, and by 1860 nearly 70,000 Norwegians had emigrated …
[Review Of] John R. Cooley. Savages And Naturals: Black Portraits By While Writers In Modern American Literature, Richard L. Herrnstadt
[Review Of] John R. Cooley. Savages And Naturals: Black Portraits By While Writers In Modern American Literature, Richard L. Herrnstadt
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
John R. Cooley's Savages and Naturals is a critical analysis of the ways in which "modern" American writers have depicted black characters. His thesis, briefly stated, is that in their fiction white American writers portray black Americans as primitives-as "savages" or as "naturals." "Savages" are those who are perceived as intrinsically evil and who consequently represent a threat to civilized society. "Naturals" are those who are simple, essentially rustic folk (the term is only roughly synonymous to the traditional "noble savage").
[Review Of] David Cook And Michael Okenimkpe. Ngugi Wa Thiong'o: An Exploration Of His Writings, Jean Bright
[Review Of] David Cook And Michael Okenimkpe. Ngugi Wa Thiong'o: An Exploration Of His Writings, Jean Bright
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
The two professors of English at Nigerian universities who jointly prepared this small book did three things well. They produced an excellent critical study of Ngugi's writings, amply footnoted and indexed; they presented interesting facts about the Kenyan author's life, and they included enough information to let the works speak for themselves for and about Africa-a welcome change from non-African interpretations.
[Review Of] Ken Goodwin. Understanding African Poetry: A Study Of Ten Poets, Alice A. Deck
[Review Of] Ken Goodwin. Understanding African Poetry: A Study Of Ten Poets, Alice A. Deck
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Understanding African Poetry is a valuable asset to anyone interested in African anglophone poetry. Goodwin offers textual analysis, evaluation, and supplementary contextual information on each of the ten poets he chose to discuss. Much of the analysis shows a keen insight and the contextual commentary is quite informative. However, Goodwin's evaluation reflects his bias towards British and white American concepts of what constitutes "good" poetry.

[Review Of] John E. Fleming, Gerald R. Gill, And David H. Swinton. The Case For Affirmative Action For Blacks In Higher Education ., P. Rudy Mattai
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
The case for affirmative action has become a major problematic concern within the last several years. Beginning with the notorious Bakke vs. the Regents of the University of California, 1978, and cresting with the recent ultraconservative stance taken by at least the most vocal members of the Civil Rights Commission, affirmative action may very well be the tidal wave that washed against the minds of those who are actively involved in obliterating racism, as well as those who remain unmindful of the beast. The Case For Affirmative Action for Blacks in Higher Education deserves to once again be taken down …
[Review Of] Phillip Foss, Ed. The Clouds Threw This Light: Contemporary Native American Poetry, Gretchen M. Bataille
[Review Of] Phillip Foss, Ed. The Clouds Threw This Light: Contemporary Native American Poetry, Gretchen M. Bataille
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
This is a collection of contemporary American Indian poetry in which the total effort is a result of the poets making the decisions about content rather than the editor. Foss provided the writers with the opportunity to select their own "best" or "favorite" for inclusion, avoiding perhaps the negative response that artists sometimes have to editors who choose the "wrong" poems! It is interesting to see the choices some made; at times I wished for a discerning editor, but the variety of material provided a cross-section of poetry being written today by American Indians.

[Review Of] Jane Katz. Artists In Exile: American Odessey [Odyssey], Charles Mueller
[Review Of] Jane Katz. Artists In Exile: American Odessey [Odyssey], Charles Mueller
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
The major accomplishment of this collection of first-person reminiscences and third-person authorial interjection is its presentation of an impressive collection of imported talents, all of whom suffer (often gladly) the intellectual and spiritual privations of the West in exchange for its relative economic and social largess. To paraphrase Churchill, democracy (read "capitalism") is the worst form of government except for all the others. This book says this geometrically, with the lines and curves formed by the various interviews forming a final, however planular, shape.

Explorations in Sights and Sounds
This book is a collection of research papers on the political and social conditions of Hong Kong sponsored by the Social Research Centre of The Chinese University of Hong Kong. The collection is not a comprehensive coverage of such conditions in Hong Kong. I t is a selective report with the purpose of updating existing information. The new information will provide a better understanding of Hong Kong's problems and serve as a resource in coping with these problems.
[Review Of] Robert G. Lake, Jr. Chilula: People From The Ancient Redwoods, Lyle Koehler
[Review Of] Robert G. Lake, Jr. Chilula: People From The Ancient Redwoods, Lyle Koehler
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Since information concerning the northern California Chilula has rarely appeared in print and some observers have maintained that they no longer exist as a tribe, Robert G. Lake, Jr., attempts to provide a comprehensive account of the people. He not only demonstrates that they do, indeed, exist but also that much of their traditional culture remains intact. Using relevant archaeological and ethnographic literature, as well as on-site field study of village and ceremonial locations and the collection of a number of personal interviews from elderly Chilulas, the author draws a relatively detailed picture of hunting practices, fishing techniques, gathering, food …

De León's pioneering effort is a most welcome volume to Chicano Studies. The historian's findings in the history of the Mexicans in Texas during most of the last century present a major addition to our knowledge of how agrarian Tejanos lived from the Texas Revolution to the turn of the century.
