[Review Of] Alain Leroy Locke (Jeffrey C. Stewart, Ed.). Race Contacts And Interracial Relations: Lectures On The Theory And Practice Of Race, Vernon Williams Jr
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Scholars of the history of race and race relations social science should be deeply indebted to Jeffrey C. Stewart for uncovering and meticulously reconstructing these extant lectures by the philosopher better known for his later contributions to the Harlem Renaissance than his social scientific theorizing: Alain LeRoy Locke. The book is an invaluable source on the thought of an African American intellectual on the subject of the nature of race relations during the Progressive Era and on its relationship to ethnic and class relations as well. So fecund are these lectures with insights and hypotheses which deserve further investigation and …

[Review Of] Virginia Yans-Mclaughlin, Ed. Immigration Reconsidered: History, Sociology, And Politics, Janet E. Benson
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Immigration Reconsidered presents the latest paradigm of immigration studies from some of the leading scholars in three disciplines. Contributors include historians Samuel Baily, Sucheng Chan, Philip Curtin, Kerby Miller, and Virginia Yans-McLaughlin; sociologists Suzanne Model, Alejandro Portes, Ewa Morawska, and Charles Tilly; and political scientists Lawrence Fuchs and Aristide Zolberg. Several individuals have degrees or interests in more than one field. This book is the outcome of a conference held to celebrate the Statue of Liberty's Centenary. The papers are carefully chosen, of high individual quality, and integrated more than most collections of essays by scholars' responses to each other …

[Review Of] Stevenj. Gold. Refugee Communities: A Comparative Field Study, Janet E. Benson
[Review Of] Stevenj. Gold. Refugee Communities: A Comparative Field Study, Janet E. Benson
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
This fascinating and insightful book is a comparative ethnographic study of Vietnamese and Soviet Jewish refugees. While a voluminous refugee and immigrant literature exists, much research follows a narrow, policy-driven focus rather than an independent academic tradition. Authors also tend to concentrate on specific ethnic groups rather than examining parallels or contrasts between groups. Gold, however, asks the broader question of how refugees create ethnic communities which facilitate "accomodation [accommodation] without assimilation" (Gibson 1988). In the process of comparison, he produces novel conclusions as well as hypotheses for further testing.
[Review Of] John D. Buenker And Lorman A. Ratner, Eds. Multiculturalism In The United States: A Comparative Guide To Acculturation And Ethnicity, Harriet Ottenheimer
[Review Of] John D. Buenker And Lorman A. Ratner, Eds. Multiculturalism In The United States: A Comparative Guide To Acculturation And Ethnicity, Harriet Ottenheimer
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
The comparative nature of this book is its most outstanding feature. The editors and authors have all worked to make their approaches to the question of acculturation and ethnicity as comparable as possible across chapters -- and across ethnic groups. The overall framework stresses the differing stresses that individuals in each ethnic group have had to struggle with in their quest to "become American.” It also emphasizes the importance of recognizing that no group is monolithic in its responses to acculturative pressures, that there is always a range of individual paths which might be chosen.
[Review Of] Hsiang-Shui Chen. Chinatown No More: Taiwan Immigrants In Contemporary New York, Janet E. Benson
[Review Of] Hsiang-Shui Chen. Chinatown No More: Taiwan Immigrants In Contemporary New York, Janet E. Benson
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
This book is a recent addition to the Anthropology of Contemporary Issues series edited by Roger Sanjek. The author, now an Associate Professor of Anthropology at the National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan, worked as a research assistant on Sanjek's New Immigrants and Old Americans Project in Elmhurst-Corona during the mid-1980s. This was the pilot study for what later became the Ford Foundation's Changing Relations Project, a national study of the impact of post-1965 immigration on American society. Chen, a graduate student from Taiwan himself, noticed a sudden increase in Chinese immigration to New York City after 1982. He chose …
[Review Of] Lois Elhert And Amy Prince, Trans. Moon Rope (Un Lazo A La Luna), Laurie Lisa
[Review Of] Lois Elhert And Amy Prince, Trans. Moon Rope (Un Lazo A La Luna), Laurie Lisa
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
In this children's explanatory tale, Fox persuades Mole to go to the moon on a braided grass rope. After Mole slips from the rope and is carried to earth on the back of a bird, he digs a tunnel, which explains why Mole chooses a nocturnal existence. The simplicity of the story, with its trickster characteristics of Fox, belies the actual experience of reading this visually stunning, bilingual, timeless tale.

[Review Of] Carlos Fuentes. The Buried Mirror: Reflections On Spain And The New World, Cortland P. Auser
Explorations in Sights and Sounds

[Review Of] Donald W. Jackson. Even The Children Of Strangers: Equality Under The U.S. Constitution, Jennifer L. Dobson
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Can "separate but equal" really be equal? How do we achieve equality through remedial preferential treatment? Does America's "meritocracy" dictate inequality? These compelling questions are addressed in Donald Jackson's Even Children of Strangers: Equality Under the U.S. Constitution.
[Review Of] James Mooney. The Ghost-Dance Religion And The Sioux Outbreak Of 1890, David M. Gradwohl
[Review Of] James Mooney. The Ghost-Dance Religion And The Sioux Outbreak Of 1890, David M. Gradwohl
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
On December 29, 1890, at the Pine Ridge Sioux Reservation in South Dakota, there occurred one of the most bloody and tragic events in American history -- the massacre of hundreds of American Indians by the US Seventh Cavalry at Wounded Knee Creek. A principal factor precipitating this atrocity was the American government's misperception of the so-called Ghost Dance which had spread from the Great Basin and Plateau into the Great Plains. Just a week before the massacre, James Mooney (then a young employee of the Smithsonian Institution's Bureau of Ethnology) had headed west to study the Ghost Dance phenomenon. …

[Review Of] May Opitz, Katharina Oguntoye, And Dagmar Schultz, Eds. Showing Our Colors: Afro-German Women Speak Out, George H. Junne Jr.
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
African people have been a presence in Europe for thousands of years. As the author notes, "Julius Caesar brought Black legions to Germany, and many never returned." A significant percentage lived in Germany until the sixteenth century. In more recent decades, French African troops and African American troops were in Germany during World War l. Some left children there and a handful even stayed to live. In World War II African American soldiers fought there again. Some remained for the occupation and some retired there. Again, some came home leaving their children, who, according to various articles, were believed to …
[Review Of] Joseph J. Tobin, Ed. Re-Made In Japan: Everyday Life And Consumer Taste In A Changing Society, Kumiko Takahara
[Review Of] Joseph J. Tobin, Ed. Re-Made In Japan: Everyday Life And Consumer Taste In A Changing Society, Kumiko Takahara
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
The introduction's title to Re-made in Japan, "Domesticating the West," captures precisely the characteristics of the contemporary westernization of Japanese culture. The book is a collection of twelve papers which were originally presented at the American Anthropological Association meeting in 1986 at the University of Hawaii. Japan's economic success has global receptions, ranging from admiration and envy, to resentment. Yet the role of Japan as an avid importer and consumer of western products and ideas is not appreciated. On the contrary, quick adaptation of the Japanese to western culture arouses curiosity, wonder, and even mockery from Eurocentric perspectives. The contributed …
[Review Of] Virgil Suarez. Welcome To The Oasis And Other Stories, Frances Hernandez
[Review Of] Virgil Suarez. Welcome To The Oasis And Other Stories, Frances Hernandez
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
If one is seeking a text to help expand the multicultural approach in a course on contemporary fiction or literature in general, a new collection of short stories by Virgil Suarez may be a successful addition. Welcome to the Oasis and Other Stories has the virtues of compactness in 124 pages and of variety in the length of the six works included, as well as a reasonable cost. An instructor would have the option of including the entire volume in her syllabus, which would provide an assignment easily encompassed in one or two class meetings. Or she could tuck in …
[Review Of] Maika Drucker. Grandma's Latkes, Laurie Lisa
[Review Of] Maika Drucker. Grandma's Latkes, Laurie Lisa
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Grandma's Latkes, written by MaIka Drucker (who wrote the acclaimed Jewish Holiday Series published by Holiday House) and illustrated by Eve Chwast, accomplishes three things simultaneously: it is an instructional story on the preparation of latkes, it retells the story of the origin of Hanukkah, and it is an endearing story of the passing down of a tradition from one generation to another. The book works successfully on all three levels, and children from the ages of six to ten will be able to understand and appreciate its rich multiplicity.
[Review Of] Alejandro Portes And Ruben G. Rumbaut. Immigrant America: A Portrait, Janet E. Benson
[Review Of] Alejandro Portes And Ruben G. Rumbaut. Immigrant America: A Portrait, Janet E. Benson
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
The subtitle of this book is apt. Its authors paint a rich and varied portrait of recent and turn-of-the-century immigrants to America: Vietnamese and Cuban refugees, Mexican, Chinese, Polish and Irish laborers, Indian professionals, Korean entrepreneurs. Unlike many works which focus on a particular nationality or type of immigrant, Portes and Rumbaut attempt a broad comparative sketch. The result is an enlightening synthesis of a very large literature. The authors discuss origins -- who the immigrants are and why they come; the context of exit, or conditions under which people leave home; issues of adaptation (economic, social, and psychological); and …
[Review Of] Sherley Anne Williams. Working Cotton, Laurie Lisa
[Review Of] Sherley Anne Williams. Working Cotton, Laurie Lisa
Explorations in Sights and Sounds
Working Cotton is based on poems from Williams's The Peacock Poems, a National Book Award nominee. Based on her childhood experience in the cotton fields of Fresno, this poignant story tells of a migrant family's day from the point of view of a child, Shelan, who is "a big girl now. Not big enough to have my own sack, just only to help pile cotton in the middle of the row for Mamma to put in hers.” From dawn until dusk, the family works the field.
Setting Sun: Popular Culture Images Of The Japanese And Japanese Americans And Public Policy, Mary Young
Setting Sun: Popular Culture Images Of The Japanese And Japanese Americans And Public Policy, Mary Young
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
The negative, stereotypical depictions of the Japanese and Japanese Americans in American popular culture in the first half of the twentieth century were of great importance in the promulgation of the Asian Exclusion Act of 1924, the internment of Japanese Americans following the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the subsequent dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The American public had been adequately prepared to accept inaccurate representations of Japanese and Japanese Americans; therefore, there was little public outcry against these actions.
Institutionalized Discrimination In The Legal System: A Socio-Historical Approach, Michael Hodge, Kevin E. Early, Harry Gold
Institutionalized Discrimination In The Legal System: A Socio-Historical Approach, Michael Hodge, Kevin E. Early, Harry Gold
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Despite many of the social, political, and economic changes of the 1960s, discrimination is still prevalent in the United States. Increasingly, evidence of discrimination can be seen in our nation's courts, institutions of higher education, in public policy decisions, and every social, political and economic institution. The question of how this can be in these days of ethnic and cultural diversity has aroused considerable interest among social scientists, as well as among the general public. One area that has been the target of considerable research is the criminal justice system. Wilbanks[1] has suggested that it is a "myth" that the …
When All The World's A Stage: The Impact Of Events On News Coverage Of South Africa, 1979-1985, Stanley O. Gaines Jr., David C. Roberts, Donald J. Baumann
When All The World's A Stage: The Impact Of Events On News Coverage Of South Africa, 1979-1985, Stanley O. Gaines Jr., David C. Roberts, Donald J. Baumann
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
A time series analysis was used to investigate: (1) whether a significant increase in news coverage of South Africa occurred during the critical years of 1979-1985 ; (2) whether the geographic origin and/or sociopolitical impact of events, rather than deaths per se, caused the increase; and (3) the manner in which the increase occurred. Results indicated that two symbolic events (i.e., a series of riots in twenty-one South African townships, internal to South Africa; and the awarding of the Nobel Prize to Bishop Desmond Tutu, external to South Africa) cumulatively were responsible for a significant rise in news coverage of …

Human Rights And National Minorities In The United States, Charles P. Henry
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Three human rights myths serve to limit the debate over human rights in the United States and bias our perspective in dealing with the human rights claims of citizens from other countries. The first myth is that human rights belong solely to individuals and protect them largely from negative actions by the state. The second myth declares that civil and political rights are primary while economic, cultural, and social rights are secondary. The third myth asserts that the only rights that count are legal in nature and that moral or personal claims are invalid or irrelevant. Even a brief historical …

Age And Ethnic Variations In Attitudes Towards Older Persons, Family And Filial Obligations, Suzanne T. Ortega, John Shafer
Explorations in Ethnic Studies
Two major interpretations have been advanced to explain the frequent finding that ethnic elders have more extensive kin support networks than Anglo elders. Structural interpretations argue that the exigencies of poverty and ill health cause minorities to rely more heavily on family members for help than Anglos, whereas cultural explanations rest upon presumed differences in family values and attitudes. Despite the prominence of these two explanations, direct tests of the cultural model are rare. In this study, we use data from a study of 100 African, Mexican, Vietnamese, European, and Native American adults to test the hypothesis that there are …

A Participatory Study Of The Self-Identity Of Kibei Nisei Men: A Sub Group Of Second Generation Japanese American Men, William T. Masuda
A Participatory Study Of The Self-Identity Of Kibei Nisei Men: A Sub Group Of Second Generation Japanese American Men, William T. Masuda
Doctoral Dissertations
At one time, the Kibei were perceived as "a minority within a minority" (Me Williams, 1944: 322) who were "distrusted in both America and Japan" (1944:321). But today, the Kibei are hardly distinguishable from the Nisei as they both enter the evening of their lives. Raised in both America and Japan, but strongly influenced in their formative years by Japanese cultural values and beliefs, they were often perceived differently by their own family, by the Japanese American community, and by the American community at large. The apparent marginality of this group, living on the fringes of or in the space …
