Title: Multiculturalism, "Political Correctness," and the Politics of Identity.

Abstract: American society, in the course of its earlier history, was shaped by the competing visions of nativism and cosmopolitan liberalism. The first defined the American identity in restrictive fashion, and sought to curtail naturalization and immigration. The second, taking an expansive view of American identity, pressed opposing policies. In the period following World War II, new visions of American society have developed in the course of the struggles of people of color to overcome their historical exclusion from the American cultural identity. The latest of these visions are expressed in the movements of multiculturalism and political correctness, which are seen here as facets of a new, and morally assertive, view of American society, revolving around the efforts of previously excluded groups to construct new identities. All of these forms of consciousness - nativism, cosmopolitan liberalism, and multiculturalism - now compete on the American scene in the politics of identity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Title: Red as an Apple: Native American Acculturation and Counseling With or Without Reservation.
Authors: Garrett, Michael Tlanusta1 garrett@wcu.edu, Pichette, Eugene F.2
Source: Journal of Counseling & Development; Winter2000, Vol. 78 Issue 1, p3, 11p, 2 charts
Document Type: Article
Subject Terms: *ACCULTURATION
Abstract: The United States has a long history of advocating policies of both extermination and assimilation of Native peoples. This historical context provides an important backdrop for understanding issues of trust/mistrust and the impact of acculturation on Native Americans who often find they have to reconcile 2 cultures. Therefore, counselors must assess a Native American client's level of acculturation rather than making assumptions based on the limited information offered by appearance or other personal characteristics. The Native American Acculturation Scale is presented as an operationalized means of formally or informally assessing a Native American client's cultural identity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

"I'm Indian Too!" by Charles F. Springwood
“I’M INDIAN TOO!”
Claiming Native American Identity, Crafting
Authority in Mascot Debates
Charles Fruehling Springwood
The author examines the ways in which people who are not “ethnically Indian” have, nevertheless, strategically claimed Indianness to argue in favor of Native American mascots. The selective (mis)use and inflation of American Indian identity is hardly a new practice, but in this context, it occurs to very specific political ends. This debate has important consequences for all Native Americans. Indeed, it is argued here that a number of White people are now rhetorically fabricating Indianness in debates, not to realign themselves psychically or sympathetically with Native Americans but rather to obscure, if not dissolve, Native voices.

Title: They Won't Teach Me.
Authors: Harmon, Deborah
Source: Roeper Review; Winter2002, Vol. 24 Issue 2, p68, 8p, 2 charts
Abstract: This article presents and discusses the results of a study designed to develop greater understanding of the experiences of gifted African American, inner-city elementary school students. These students were bused
from their predominantly African American neighborhood to desegregate a predominantly White school and then returned to their predominantly African American neighborhood after busing was dismantled. Students were interviewed about their experiences and asked to compare their classroom environments, classmates, and school resources at both schools. During the interviews, students identified the characteristics of effective and ineffective teachers.
Three teachers identified as exemplary were interviewed about their educational philosophies, teaching methods, classroom management strategies, and curriculum and were observed in their classrooms throughout the school
year. While the results of this study indicated that the students experienced considerable anger with desegregation, the findings also have several implications for effectively teaching gifted African American students. The
results also point to important reasons for the absence of gifted African American students in highly academic and gifted education programs. [ABSTRACT
