[Review Of] James A. Banks And Cherry A. Mcgee Banks, Eds. Multicultural Education: Issues And Perspectives, Margaret A. Laughlin

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

With a rapidly increasing minority population in the United States, it is more important than ever for both future and experienced teachers to recognize and appreciate the diversity of young people enrolled in our schools. By the year 2000 it is projected that one of three or more students will be part of an ethnic minority. In some cities and states, minority background students are already the majority school population. Teachers will be facing more and more students from different ethnic, cultural, language, religious, and socio-economic backgrounds. Many classes will include special needs students who are gifted, handicapped, or both. …

[Review Of] Hyung-Chan Kim, Ed. Asian American Studies: An Annotated Bibliography And Research Guide, Russell Endo Jan 1990

[Review Of] Hyung-Chan Kim, Ed. Asian American Studies: An Annotated Bibliography And Research Guide, Russell Endo

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Hyung-chan Kim's bibliography of humanities and social science materials on Asian Americans has two basic but important assets. First, its 3,396 entries encompass a large proportion of the relevant literature (creative writing and federal government publications have been excluded as they are adequately covered in other sources). Second, the bibliography is nicely organized. It is divided into two main sections dealing respectively with historical and contemporary matters. Each section has chapters on a variety of subjects, for example marriage and family, community organizations, immigration and refugees, and acculturation, adaptation and assimilation. Within each chapter, the appropriate books/monographs, articles, and theses/dissertations …

[Review Of] Thurman B. O'Daniel, Ed. Jean Toomer: A Critical Evaluation, Cortland P. Auser

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

This volume of biographical and critical essays on the life and work of Jean Toomer is, as its Preface suggests, a "comprehensive study." Its forty-six essays by thirty-nine scholars attest to its wide scope, and the extensive bibliography by the chief editor will prove most useful for present and future researchers.

[Review Of] Deborah Gesensway And Mindy Roseman. Beyond Words: Images From America's Concentration Camps, Barbara Hiura Jan 1990

[Review Of] Deborah Gesensway And Mindy Roseman. Beyond Words: Images From America's Concentration Camps, Barbara Hiura

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

"Shikataganai! Shikataganai! It cannot be helped." The internment of Japanese Americans during World War II devastated the Japanese community, ruined businesses, and destroyed families. Memories and recollections of the Japanese American concentration camp experience are collected in this beautifully crafted work illustrating in text and prints the images produced by the incarcerated Japanese Americans. Beyond Words captures the personal insights of this experience, the unjust accusations and imprisonment of a people, their treatment as enemy aliens and foreigners, and "those damned barbed wire fences" enclosing them. Many found solace in expressing themselves in art and poetry illustrating their insights into …

[Review Of] Phyllis Mauch Messenter, Ed. The Ethics Of Collecting Cultural Property: Whose Culture? Whose Property?, Helen Jaskoski Jan 1990

[Review Of] Phyllis Mauch Messenter, Ed. The Ethics Of Collecting Cultural Property: Whose Culture? Whose Property?, Helen Jaskoski

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

"That should be in a museum!" Brave words from Indiana Jones, undoubtedly the world's most famous (real or fictional) archaeologist, as he confronts low-life site plunderers, venal middlemen, corrupt politicians and wealthy private collectors. Life for the redoubtable Dr. Jones is simple (as it seems to have been for Lord Elgin); for those of us in the real world unfortunately not. What should be in a museum, and when, and how it should get there are questions underlying this collection of essays that grew out of a 1986 conference in Minneapolis on the ethics of collecting. Papers and symposia transcripts …

[Review Of] Gary Soto. Who Will Know Us?, Carl R. Shirley Jan 1990

[Review Of] Gary Soto. Who Will Know Us?, Carl R. Shirley

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Gary Soto is one of America's finest poets, a writer whose previous collections (The Elements of San Joaquin -- 1977, The Tale of Sunlight -- 1978, Father Is a Pillow Tied to a Broom -- 1980, Where Sparrows Work Hard -- 1981, and Black Hair -- 1985) have received wide critical acclaim, not only from Chicano critics but from others as well. In this latest volume Soto again demonstrates that he is an accomplished literary craftsman with a great deal to say. The forty-one poems are presented in three untitled sections and range from pensive reflections on old age and …

[Review Of] Pedro Amador Llorens. Shipwrecked Of Mona Island, Luis L. Pinto Jan 1990

[Review Of] Pedro Amador Llorens. Shipwrecked Of Mona Island, Luis L. Pinto

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Historically, migration between the islands of Puerto Rico and La Hispaniola began in pre-Colombian times, but at no other time in our history has this migration had the profound social, economic and political implications that it has today. The political and economic forces that operate in the Latin American world are responsible for the enormous contingents of indigent people that establish themselves in the periphery of large and capital cities, from where they look for the first opportunity to cross into neighboring countries and many times far beyond.

[Review Of] Florentino Valeros And Estrellita Valeros-Gruenberg, Filipino Writers In English: A Biographical And Bibliographical Directory, Oscar V. Campomanes Jan 1990

[Review Of] Florentino Valeros And Estrellita Valeros-Gruenberg, Filipino Writers In English: A Biographical And Bibliographical Directory, Oscar V. Campomanes

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

With the rise of Filipino nationalism in the sixties and the consequent resort to literature written in Filipino and the vernacular, Philippine writing in English ebbed in importance. At that decisive juncture of national crisis, the verdict was made that Philippine literature in English had reached a dead end. Scholars and critics produced searching critiques of aesthetic orthodoxies and turned their attention to other cultural legacies. This reversal of fortunes for the literature in English after four decades of undisputed hegemony in Philippine cultural life partly explains why its history remains unwritten.

[Review Of] Sid White And S. E. Solberg, Eds. Peoples Of Washington: Perspectives On Cultural Diversity, Phillips G. Davies

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

This book about the various ethnic people in the state is disappointing in two ways: its format, and its very limited material about some of the groups who have been and are living in the state.

Critiques [Of "Black" Or "African American"; What's In A Name? By Johnny Washington], Bamidele J. Bracy Jan 1990

Critiques [Of "Black" Or "African American"; What's In A Name? By Johnny Washington], Bamidele J. Bracy

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Aside from examining the ways people ascribe meaning to the terms "Black" and "African-American" and possible "underlying social dynamics" impeding or precipitating ethnic label changes, Washington concludes that these above mentioned "sign-posts" may be justifiable periodic changes which an ethnic group should constantly re-interpret on its ever evolving "cosmic" journey. Washington presents an interesting case from a philosophical/metaphysical standpoint. From a social scientific perspective, however, there is much to be determined.

Abstracts From The Eighteenth Annual Conference National Association For Ethnic Studies, Inc

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

For the third year in a row, Conference participants were greeted with snow and ice; however, the chilly weather was not indicative of the warmth generated in sessions and special events planned by Conference organizers Larry Estrada and Jeannie Ortega. The theme, "Ethnicity, Justice, and the National Experience," was addressed by plenary session speakers Tom Romero and Dana Sims. Ray Rodrigues and Keith Miser presented a model for dealing with diversity on campus with the "Colorado State University Perspective on Diversity. "Orage Quarles III, president and publisher of the Fort ColIins Coloradan, eloquently addressed participants at the banquet with his …

[Review Of] Guadalupe San Miguel, Jr. "Let All Of Them Take Heed": Mexican Americans And The Campaign For Educational Equality In Texas, 1910-1981, Carlos F. Ortega

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

It is well known among educational researchers that pervasive segregation of blacks and underepresentation [underrepresentation] of Mexican Americans in higher education continues to this day, although these practices and policies violate federal law. A recent study by the Tomas Rivera Center for Policy Studies found that the state of Texas failed during the five years of its Equal Educational Opportunity Plan for Higher Education to eliminate the disparities in its system and improve the educational experiences of minorities. The structural dimensions of educational policy have a long and tumultuous history. Moreover, the notion that Mexican American parents care little for …

[Review Of] Lois Weis, Ed. Class, Race, & Gender In American Education, Margaret A. Laughlin Jan 1990

[Review Of] Lois Weis, Ed. Class, Race, & Gender In American Education, Margaret A. Laughlin

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

Class, Race & Gender in American Education should be read by preservice and experienced educators and social scientists who are interested in teaching young people who come from different socioeconomic backgrounds, represent various racial and ethnic heritages, and those with special needs. School as a major socializing institution often holds the key for many students. It is also important to study the ways individuals and groups prepare for the future. Some students are successful in school settings, but many become discouraged and are pushed out due to the structure and/or culture of the school. This volume seeks to enrich this …

[Review Of] Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Ed. The Classic Slave Narratives, Angelo Costanzo Jan 1990

[Review Of] Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Ed. The Classic Slave Narratives, Angelo Costanzo

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

At last here is a compact, inexpensive paperback that presents the major black autobiographies of the slave era. It is easy now for teachers of literature, history, or sociology to have their students reading the full texts of the classic slave narratives, instead of just reading bits and pieces of them in anthologies. Henry Louis Gates, Jr., provides an informative introduction to the volume, which consists of works by Olaudah Equiano, Mary Prince, Frederick Douglass, and Harriet Jacobs. Gates notes that these texts "span nearly three-quarters of a century (1789-1861); the authors, two men and two women, include one African, …

[Review Of] James Officer. Hispanic Arizona, 1536-1856, Richard Griswold Del Castillo Jan 1990

[Review Of] James Officer. Hispanic Arizona, 1536-1856, Richard Griswold Del Castillo

Explorations in Sights and Sounds

One of the glaring gaps in Southwestern historiography has been the lack of a modern scholarly interpretation of the Spanish and Mexican presence in Arizona. Hubert Howe Bancroft's History of the North Mexican States and Texas and John F. Bannon's The Spanish Borderlands Frontier, 1513-1821 have been the best sources for the study of pre-American Arizona, but these works treat the history of this region as a subtopic of a larger story. With the publication of Hispanic Arizona, scholars now have a thorough, detailed and scholarly study that is entirely devoted to the history of northern Sonora and southern Arizona.

Critiques [Of "Black" Or "African American"; What's In A Name? By Johnny Washington], Ashton Wesley Welch Jan 1990

Critiques [Of "Black" Or "African American"; What's In A Name? By Johnny Washington], Ashton Wesley Welch

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

In "'Black' or 'African American': What's in a Name?" Johnny Washington reminds us that on the appropriate name for Americans of African descent has been ongoing, with varying degrees of intensity, for a long time. In illustrating the ancientness of the debate, he referred to precedents of the current irruption. He observed that "Booker T. Washington advanced the ethnic identity debate" in the 1890s. He also pointed to twentieth century contributions to the labelling crisis by W. E. B. DuBois, Marcus Garvey, Alain Locke, and Stokely Carmichael. Yet, neither the debate nor the labels themselves are the core concern for …

An Obsessive-Compulsive View Of Obesity And Its Treatment, Raymond Mount, Fugen Neziroglu, Christina J. Taylor Jan 1990

An Obsessive-Compulsive View Of Obesity And Its Treatment, Raymond Mount, Fugen Neziroglu, Christina J. Taylor

Psychology Faculty Publications

It was hypothesized that some obese individuals who are obsessed with food and who eat compulsively may not respond to the stimulus control techniques widely used in treating obesity. Sixty-eight participants were ad- ministered a measure of obsessive tendencies and randomly assigned to three treatment modalities: (a) Exposure and response prevention; (b) Stimulus control; (c) Control. Results indicated that participants who scored high on the Eating Obsessive Compulsive questionnaire (EOC) maintained weight loss significantly better with exposure and response prevention (ERP) training than did either the stimulus control or the control group. It was concluded that for the obsessive-compulsive eater, …

Friendship Potential, Knowledge, Skills, And Expectations Of Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder And Normal Children, Laura A. Taylor Jan 1990

Friendship Potential, Knowledge, Skills, And Expectations Of Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder And Normal Children, Laura A. Taylor

Honors Theses

The present study assessed the differences in the friendship patterns of nonmedicated children with Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and children without the disorder. 22 children with ADHD and 23 normal controls and each of their friends completed an interview designed to evaluate their friendship potential, knowledge, skills, expectations, and quality. These children were divided at age 9 years, 8 months into younger and older groups in order to assess age differences across the variables. Results illustrated that children with ADHD have lower levels of friendship potential than children without ADHD especially in terms of their degree of similarity with their …

Effect Of Memory Training On Memory Performance, Self-Efficacy Rarings And Patterns Of Attributions In Older Adults, Krista E. Larson Jan 1990

Effect Of Memory Training On Memory Performance, Self-Efficacy Rarings And Patterns Of Attributions In Older Adults, Krista E. Larson

Honors Theses

An investigation of age differences in memory performance for list and text recall was conducted in the context of a training manipulation. It was hypothesized that there would be age differences in performance, measures of self-efficacy, and attributional style, but that training in memory strategies would have an effect on those differences. The training manipulation appeared to be more effective for the list portion of the experiment, and improvements in performance and changes in attributions were induced. The text portion of the experiment revealed the predicted age differences, but training failed to elicit any of the other predicted effects. The …
