[Review Of] Wilma Rudolph, Wilma, Stewart Rodnon

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

In 1960 at the 18th modern Olympiad in Rome, Wilma Rudolph, twenty-years-old and black from Clarksville, Tennessee, became the first American woman to win three Olympic gold medals. Having experienced physical handicaps, racial prejudice, and bitter poverty, she had stretched her natural abilities to become the fastest woman runner of her day. Subsequently she received plenty of promotion but little cash, and her message calls attention to the precarious emotional and financial status of black American women, especially black American women athletes. This autobiography (Martin Ralbovsky, author of the excellent Destiny's Darlings, a boys-of-summer story of Little League baseball, is …

[Review Of] Clifford E. Trafzer. The Kit Carson Campaign: The Last Great Navajo War, Michael D. Green

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

This is Clifford Trafzer's eighth book, the fourth that deals with some aspect of Navajo history. It begins with a brief summary of Navajo history prior to the mid-nineteenth century, covers in some detail the military conflict that culminated in the invasions of the Navajo country in 1863-64 by troops under the command of Colonel Christopher Carson, and concludes with a recounting of the "Long Walk" to the Bosque Redondo, the Navajos' life there, and their return to their homeland in 1868. Trafzer depended on the invaluable federal military and Indian Office records, a number of Navajo accounts and reminiscences, …

[Review Of] Dino Cine!. From Italy To San Francisco: The Immigrant Experience, Jay Avellino

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Examination of Dino Cinel's From Italy to San Francisco will take the watchful coordination of both eyes. His introductory chapter draws one eye to clear professional "social history," supported by an extensive bibliography, dominated by Italian sources including official provincial and national records and punctuated by a comprehensive bibliographical essay. The other eye is painfully drawn to some questionable scholarship.

[Review Of] Barbara Bryant, Producer. Just An Overnight Guest (Film), Gretchen M. Bataille

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Based on Eleanora E. Tate's book, Just An Overnight Guest tells the story of a family faced with an unexpected "guest." Rosalind Cash and Richard Roundtree portray the parents of ten-year old Margie who cannot understand why her mother has brought home a ragged six-year old to live with them. The mother, a teacher, recognizes that little Ethel has been neglected and lacks any semblance of middle-class manners, but her impulse is to help the child. As it turns out, Ethel has not only been neglected but also mistreated as the marks on her back bear out. The two girls …

[Review Of] Brian Swann, Ed. Smoothing The Ground: Essays On Native American Oral Literature, Susan Scarberry-Garcia

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

The red and black Chumash pictograph reproduced on the cover of Smoothing the Ground shows an alert human figure poised amidst a group of animal and bird people, all related by the stars that are their hands and feet. As Ken Roemer, one of the contributors to this collection of essays on Native American ethnopoetics, says: "The constellation tales give listeners relatives in the sky." Stories, like starfeet, reflect this kinship.

The Vanguard (Vol. 31, No. 8), Dec 1984, Lutheran Human Relations Association Of America

The Vanguard

Nowhere in the crisis of American agriculture are the problems more imposing than in the decline of Black farm ownership and operation.

The decline of Black farming in the U.S. is illustrated by date from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. These data indicate that in every decade from 1959 to 1978, the number of Black-operated farms has been cut in half.

Notes On A Forgotten Black Social Worker And Sociologist: George Edmund Haynes, Iris Carlton-La Ney

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

This paper highlights the career of Dr. George Edmund Haynes, a pioneer sociologist and social worker. It places Haynes in a historical context examining his professional contributions during the early 1900s. Haynes' professional activities reflected the Progressive Era's emphasis on scientific research and social justice. Although he received some recognition as a sociologist and social worker, his contributions were relegated generally to the periphery of both the discipline of sociology and the field of social work.
