Leadership For Diversity: Effectively Managing For A Transformation, Adrian K. Haugabrook
Leadership For Diversity: Effectively Managing For A Transformation, Adrian K. Haugabrook
Trotter Review
Diversity has become a contentious theme woven throughout many different aspects of higher education. Multiculturalism, ethnic studies, women's studies, curriculum reform, strategies for increasing access and opportunity to the under-represented and under-served and improving campus climate have all been vehicles to promote and further diversity initiatives. Diversity stands to challenge much of what has been the traditional views of higher education. The efforts to promote multiculturalism and diversity have caused the academy and the enterprise of higher learning to introspectively examine and reexamine its values, beliefs and relationships to a much larger society. American higher education now sees itself in …
[Review Of] Calvin Winslow, Ed. Waterfront Workers: New Perspectives On Race And Class, Arthur S. Evans Jr
[Review Of] Calvin Winslow, Ed. Waterfront Workers: New Perspectives On Race And Class, Arthur S. Evans Jr
Ethnic Studies Review
Students of race and ethnic relations have used two perspectives to explain the effects of industrialization on dominant and subordinate relations. One view holds that the process of industrialization results in individuals becoming detached from associations based in race and ethnicity as their life chances are determined by their participation and position in the economic order. A second perspective suggests that industrialization inevitably leads to tension and hostility between groups because they are forced to compete for scarce resources. The articles in Waterfront Workers: New Perspectives on Race and Class attempt to bridge the gap between these conflicting perspectives by …
Anthropology And Ethnicity: From Herder To Hermeneutics, Jack Eller
Anthropology And Ethnicity: From Herder To Hermeneutics, Jack Eller
Ethnic Studies Review
For a long time, the central focus of anthropology has been on the study of the so-called traditional societies. However, with the transformation of those societies into "ethnicized" groups within state systems, anthropologists have had to rethink their concepts, theories, and methods. They have had to deal with, among others things, issues of cultural difference, cultural boundaries, and cultural movements. This article looks retrospectively at certain changes that have taken place in anthropology especially with regard to the study of ethnicity.
[Review Of] Crawford Young. Ethnic Diversity And Public Policy: A Comparative Inquiry, Kasturi Dasgupta
[Review Of] Crawford Young. Ethnic Diversity And Public Policy: A Comparative Inquiry, Kasturi Dasgupta
Ethnic Studies Review
As we come to the end of the millennium, contrary to the more democratic and progressive aspirations of earlier decades, ethnicity continues to define political and social alliances in the struggle for power and survival. Ethnic Diversity and Public Policy, edited by Crawford Young, is a timely collection of articles which address key policies growing out of the paramount need facing nations to deal with this primordial yet potent reality. The articles follow the basic premise underscored by Young -- that ethnic crises reflect "profound failures of statecraft" and that "the state remains the ineluctable locus of policy response," Accordingly, …
[Review Of] T. M. Singelis, Ed. Teaching About Culture, Ethnicity, And Diversity: Exercises And Planned Activities, Beate Baltes
[Review Of] T. M. Singelis, Ed. Teaching About Culture, Ethnicity, And Diversity: Exercises And Planned Activities, Beate Baltes
Ethnic Studies Review
Professors and students of teacher education can always appreciate theoretical discussions of multicultural education in books and journal articles. Even more useful are concrete examples such as the multicultural lesson plans in Sleeter's Turning on Learning (1998) and the case studiesin Nieto's Affirming Diversity (2000). Teacher-credential students find the lesson plans illustrative and relate to the students' stories in the case studies. Singelis' book Teaching about Culture, Ethnicity, and Diversity goes a step further in providing professors and students with experiences and hands-on activities that should help to enhance the sensitivity of teacher-credential students towards cross-cultural differences and help them …
A Historical Perspective On The Development Of An Ethnic Minority Consciousness In The Spanish-Language Press Of The Southwest, Nicolás Kanellos
A Historical Perspective On The Development Of An Ethnic Minority Consciousness In The Spanish-Language Press Of The Southwest, Nicolás Kanellos
Ethnic Studies Review
Various scholars have treated ethnic newspapers in the United States as if they all have evolved from an immigrant press.(i) While one may accept their analysis of the functions of the ethnic press, there is a substantial and qualitative difference between newspapers that were built on an immigration base and those that developed from the experience of colonialism and racial oppression. Hispanics were subjected to "racialization"(ii) for more than a century through such doctrines as the Spanish Black Legend and Manifest Destiny during the nineteenth and early twentieth century. They were conquered and incorporated into the United States and then …
[Review Of] William S. Penn, Ed. As We Are Now, Maurice M. Martinez
[Review Of] William S. Penn, Ed. As We Are Now, Maurice M. Martinez
Ethnic Studies Review
There is an old spoken French Creole proverb that goes: Bay Kou Bile, Pote `Mak Soje' (He who strikes the blow forgets, he who bears the marks remembers). As We Are Now is a book of essays that reveals hidden memories retained in the collective conscience of many of America's indigenous peoples who bear the painful marks of past history. The thirteen contributors discuss and analyze mainstream American responses to the act of cross-fertilization, an act of love by persons from different ethnic and cultural backgrounds who dared to intermarry or bond with an underclass -- people of color. Their …
[Review Of] Julie Brown, Ed. Ethnicity And The American Short Story, Phillipa Kafka
[Review Of] Julie Brown, Ed. Ethnicity And The American Short Story, Phillipa Kafka
Ethnic Studies Review
Replete with essays, all excellent in diverse ways and covering a broad range of American ethnicities, this cutting-edge text successfully answers questions about claims of uniqueness and difference for ethnic American short stories as the grounds for inclusion in critical discussions of the genre.
[Review Of] Elionne Belden. Claiming Chinese Identity, Russell Endo
[Review Of] Elionne Belden. Claiming Chinese Identity, Russell Endo
Ethnic Studies Review
Thirty years ago, when the field of Asian American studies was in its infancy, identity was one of the subjects that received much attention. Since then, a good deal of research on or related to identity has been conducted, and, in the past few years, several significant pieces of work have been published. Claiming Chinese Identity is not among the latter.
[Review Of] Linda Mack Schloff. "And Prairie Dogs Weren't Kosher": Jewish Women In The Upper Midwest Since 1855, David M. Gradwohl
[Review Of] Linda Mack Schloff. "And Prairie Dogs Weren't Kosher": Jewish Women In The Upper Midwest Since 1855, David M. Gradwohl
Ethnic Studies Review
Wit and wisdom permeate this tome from its wonderful title to the end of the last chapter. The idea of Jews even considering the possibility of consuming brisket of prairie dog (without the cream gravy, of course) is hilarious. But behind this humor is the serious question of why the matter would even be considered. The book's title comes from the child of early Jewish immigrants of South Dakota recalling "my parents got tired of eating potatoes, and prairie dogs weren't kosher."
[Review Of] Daniele Conversi. The Basques, The Catalans And Spain: Alternative Routes To Nationalist Mobilisation, Laura Bathurst
[Review Of] Daniele Conversi. The Basques, The Catalans And Spain: Alternative Routes To Nationalist Mobilisation, Laura Bathurst
Ethnic Studies Review
In this book, Daniele Conversi compares and contrasts two widely known nationalist movements in Spain: the Basques in the northeast and the Catalans in the east. Working from both primary and secondary sources including documentary material such as political pamphlets, communiqu's, periodicals, and nationalists' declarations and writings, as well as sociolinguistic data and personal interviews, he constructs a detailed historical account of the emergence of both movements at the end of the nineteenth century through the 1980s. Included in his book are maps, glossary, extensive notes, index, and large bibliography. Conversi's particular focus is on the leading intellectuals and intelligentsia …
[Review Of] Jeffrey Rubin-Dorsky And Shelley Fisher Fishkin. People Of The Book: Holstein Thirty Scholars Reflect On Their Jewish Identity, Sandra J. Holstein
[Review Of] Jeffrey Rubin-Dorsky And Shelley Fisher Fishkin. People Of The Book: Holstein Thirty Scholars Reflect On Their Jewish Identity, Sandra J. Holstein
Ethnic Studies Review
People of the Book is an important contribution to ethnic studies and identity politics. It is a dense and reflective collection of essays which defines Judaism in personal and scholarly contexts. As one of the contributors, Nancy Miller, says: "It's not easy to write about being Jewish" (168). The editors divide the essays into four parts. After the introductory essay, Part 2, "Transformations," examines how the authors' activism grows out of their Jewish heritage. "Negotiations," looks at Jewish definition in the context of other Jewish and non-Jewish communities, and "Explorations," shows the relationship between being Jewish and pursuing a discipline. …
[Review Of] Fred L. Gardaphe, Italian Signs, American Streets: The Evolution Of Italian American Narrative, Lucia Chiavola Birnbaum
[Review Of] Fred L. Gardaphe, Italian Signs, American Streets: The Evolution Of Italian American Narrative, Lucia Chiavola Birnbaum
Ethnic Studies Review
This indispensable interpretation of Italian American narrative literature can fruitfully be used in many ethnic and cultural programs. It is a study distinguished by familiarity with vernacular Italian American culture, as well as consciousness of the losses as well as gains in education in the dominant WASP culture. Trying to reconcile the difference between what Antonio Gramsci called the organic intellectual and the assimilated intellectual, Gardaphe has adopted "a culture-specific criticism that is sensitive to both Italian and American cultures."
[Review Of] Chon Noriega And Ana M. Lopez, Eds., The Ethnic Eye: Latino Media Arts, Gabriel Haslip-Viera
[Review Of] Chon Noriega And Ana M. Lopez, Eds., The Ethnic Eye: Latino Media Arts, Gabriel Haslip-Viera
Ethnic Studies Review
In recent years, there has been an increased interest in the relationship between the media arts and the Latino communities of the United States. A number of important books and essays have been published on the subject, most notably Chon Noriega, ed. Chicanos and Film: Representation and Resistance (Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 1992), George Hadley-Garcia, Hispanic Hollywood: The Latins in Motion Pictures (New York: Carol Publishing, 1993), and Gary D. Keller, Hispanics and United States Film: An Overview and Handbook (Tempe, Arizona: Bilingual Press, 1994). In fact, there have been so many books, edited collections, and essays published on …
[Review Of] Verad Amit-Talai And Caroline Knowles, Eds. Re-Situating Identities: The Politics Of Race, Ethnicity, And Culture, David Covin
Ethnic Studies Review
While the lead title of this book, Re-Situating Identities, is entirely on target, the subtitle, The Politics of Race, Ethnicity, and Culture, is far off the mark. The book is primarily about identity. It has precious little to do with politics. This might be apparent from the contributors, whom the editors identify as sociologists, anthropologists, and cultural theorists. There is not a political scientist among them. The omission, however, is not necessarily indicative of an absence of politics, because sociologists, anthropologists, and cultural theorists often write good politics. That is not the case in this instance. Though the editors make …
[Review Of] Harold A. Mcdougall, Black Baltimore: A New Theory Of Community, And W. Edward Orser, Blockbusting In Baltimore: The Edmondson Village Story, James L. Conyers Jr.
[Review Of] Harold A. Mcdougall, Black Baltimore: A New Theory Of Community, And W. Edward Orser, Blockbusting In Baltimore: The Edmondson Village Story, James L. Conyers Jr.
Ethnic Studies Review
This essay seeks to make a comparative review of two books: 1) Harold A. McDougall's, Black Baltimore: A New Theory of Community; and 2) W. Edward Orser's, Blockbusting in Baltimore: The Edmondson Village Story. The method of procedure used in this review essay will describe and evaluate the organizational structure of the books in a three-fold manner: 1) summary of the texts; 2) use of oral history in the texts; and 3) contribution of books to oral history= literature and conclusion, drawing upon common themes between the two books.
Editor's Note, Miguel A. Carranza
Editor's Note, Miguel A. Carranza
Ethnic Studies Review
This special issue of the journal is on the theme "Ethnicity, Family and Community," which was the topic of our 23rd annual conference held in March 1995 in Boulder, Colorado. Mary Kelly, our special issue editor, has selected an excellent set of quality articles focused on the theme. Nowhere more than in the field of ethnic studies do the topics of family and community play such important roles. One need only look at the dynamic changes occurring in U.S. society to see how these changes influence and are influenced by ethnic/racial families and the communities in which they reside.
Racial Safety And Cultural Maintenance : The Childcare Concerns Of Employed Mothers Of Color, Lynet Uttal
Racial Safety And Cultural Maintenance : The Childcare Concerns Of Employed Mothers Of Color, Lynet Uttal
Ethnic Studies Review
When employed mothers of color transfer the care of their children to childcare providers, their needs and concerns reflect their status as members of historically subordinated racial ethnic groups in the United States. This paper introduces two new concepts--racial safety and cultural maintenance--to show how racial ethnic group membership and traditional cultural practices and values are critical concerns that influence the decisions and choices that employed mothers of color make about who will provide care for their children in their absence. This analysis is based on in-depth interviews with Mexican American, African American and Guamanian American employed mothers of infants, …
Hmong On The Move : Understanding Secondary Migration, Jac D. Bulk
Hmong On The Move : Understanding Secondary Migration, Jac D. Bulk
Ethnic Studies Review
Between the time of first arrival of the Hmong refugees in 1975 and the mid-1990s, there has been much geographic movement of these new Americans. An initial pattern of Hmong residential dispersal throughout the American states has gradually transformed into a predominantly tri-state concentration (California, Wisconsin, and Minnesota). This highly distinctive resettlement pattern is the result of delicately balancing the most essential substance of Hmong tradition with pragmatic considerations such as job prospects (especially farming work), access to language and job training programs, extended family and clan obligations, changing federal policies for Refugee Cash Assistance (RCA), changing welfare eligibility regulations …

[Review Of] David A. Hollinger, Postethnic America: Beyond Multiculturalism, Jack Glazier
[Review Of] David A. Hollinger, Postethnic America: Beyond Multiculturalism, Jack Glazier
Ethnic Studies Review
This important volume by the distinguished intellectual historian, David Hollinger, sorts through key multicultural issues and brings a much needed freshness to a very stale, angry debate. In outlining the social contours of a postethnic America, he describes a country less obsessed with race and ethnicity, and open to the forging of social bonds between people of different heritages of descent. Unlike many criticisms of multiculturalism, Hollinger's postethnic vision remains attentive to ethnic difference while pointing up the relevance and value of an American national culture. Those heavily invested in shoring up racial and ethnic boundaries will surely resist the …
Ethnic Conversions : Family, Community, Women, And Kinwork, Mary E. Kelly
Ethnic Conversions : Family, Community, Women, And Kinwork, Mary E. Kelly
Ethnic Studies Review
According to the straight-line theory of assimilation, ethnic groups by the third or fourth generation should be entirely assimilated into mainstream society and should identify themselves as "Americans." Yet there has been a resurgence of ethnicity among white ethnics in the United States that has led to a renewed interest in particular ethnic groups and their cultures. Third- and fourth-generation European Americans claim an ethnic identity even though their ties to their ancestral homeland may be tenuous. Lithuanian Americans in Kansas City, Kansas, in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s would seem to provide support for the straight-line theory of assimilation, …
[Review Of] Eve Harris (Director And Producer), Secret Jews Of The Hispanic Southwest, David Gradwohl
[Review Of] Eve Harris (Director And Producer), Secret Jews Of The Hispanic Southwest, David Gradwohl
Ethnic Studies Review
Although this film is short, it is sweet to the eyes and ears. The story is brief and may appear simple, but its ramifications are extensive, reaching back into the distant past and extending from the present into the future regarding complex matters of ethnicity and ethnic identities. The material is particularly significant to those involved in Hispanic and Judaic studies. Beyond those areas, however, the data present some challenges to definitions of ethnicity, the perceived longevity of certain group and individual ethnic identities, and our knowledge of the processes of culture change.
[Review Of] Arjun Appadurai, Modernity At Large, Cultural Dimensions Of Globalization, Hope J. Schau
[Review Of] Arjun Appadurai, Modernity At Large, Cultural Dimensions Of Globalization, Hope J. Schau
Ethnic Studies Review
Modernity at Large is a collection of essays (most of which are reprinted from other sources, e.g., Public Culture) that link the themes of modernity and globalization to contemporary everyday social practice, and to group individual identity construction and expression. Appadurai takes up the conditions of modernity which for him include science as a dominant ideology, obsession with technological development, colonial social relations, and the primacy of national communities. Weaving these conditions with issues of globalization, which he defines as instantaneous worldwide telecommunications (phone, fax, and internet), increased international or transnational migration, the expanding scope and impact of mass media, …

I'D Rather Play The Saxophone : Conflicts In Identity Between Vietnamese Students And Their Parents, Joseph Stimpfl, Ngoc H. Bui
I'D Rather Play The Saxophone : Conflicts In Identity Between Vietnamese Students And Their Parents, Joseph Stimpfl, Ngoc H. Bui
Ethnic Studies Review
Members of the Vietnamese community in Lincoln, Nebraska range in time of resettlement, background and experience in adjustment to their new home. The impact of cultural change and education on the Vietnamese youth in this community is of particular importance. The Vietnamese youth are under-examined in the areas of adjustment and identity formation. The effects of cultural conflict have profound impact on the future of Vietnamese youth. The following study presents an examination of the variables that may affect Vietnamese youth, specifically culture and education as factors in ethnic identity formation. It also presents how these factors can affect the …
[Review Of] Vernon Williams, Jr., Rethinking Race: Franz Boas And His Contemporaries, Rhett Jones
[Review Of] Vernon Williams, Jr., Rethinking Race: Franz Boas And His Contemporaries, Rhett Jones
Ethnic Studies Review
The term "Jim Crow II" is frequently used by African Americans to describe contemporary American race relations, by which they mean that just as legal segregation, lynching and voting restrictions followed emancipation, so has a period of racist reaction followed the successes of the Civil Rights movement. Williams sees parallels between the two periods: "I have attempted to describe and analyze the ideas of persons who provided, in a time comparable to our own, the bases of sophisticated discussion of race and race relations." Williams is too good a historian to settle for merely demonstrating parallels; he also traces the …
[Review Of] Maria P. P. Root, The Multiracial Experience: Racial Borders As The New Frontier, Yolanda Flores Niemann
[Review Of] Maria P. P. Root, The Multiracial Experience: Racial Borders As The New Frontier, Yolanda Flores Niemann
Ethnic Studies Review
Maria Root's collection of readings cognitively and emotionally engage the reader in the psychosocial experience of being multiracial. These readings also foster a critical awareness of the implications of rising numbers of multiracial persons for issues of inter-group race relations and national identity. This awareness forces readers to re-examine the meanings and construction of race beyond the traditional five monoracial categories traditionally used to gather census data.
[Review Of] Eugene Eoyang, Coat Of Many Colors: Reflections On Diversity By A Minority Of One, Russell Endo
[Review Of] Eugene Eoyang, Coat Of Many Colors: Reflections On Diversity By A Minority Of One, Russell Endo
Ethnic Studies Review
Eoyang's volume is a collection of personal essays that call for a more diverse conception of American culture and society. While the latter, of course, is a familiar if not universally-accepted theme, this actually is an unconventional and highly effective book because of the range of issues it covers and the author's basic writing strategy.
"Shared Ethnicity" In Transracial Adoption, Cia Verschelden
"Shared Ethnicity" In Transracial Adoption, Cia Verschelden
Ethnic Studies Review
The discussion of transracial adoption of black infants by white parents calls into question the distinction between race and ethnicity for these children and their families. Research on the overall success of these adoption indicate that most of the children are well-adjusted, have healthy self esteem, and do not have problems with issues of racial identity. This paper suggest that the concept of "shared ethnicity" might be useful construction for understanding these multiracial families.
