The O. J. Simpson Trial: Challenges to Science and Society
The O. J. Simpson murder and civil trials riveted the nation and much of the world for more than two years. Of tremendous scientific and public interest was the gulf in attitudes, perceptions, and reactions to the not guilty verdict at the criminal trial. The collection of articles in this issue of The Journal of Social Issues converged on the idea that race is an inadequate explanatory variable in understanding these differences in attitudes, pe…
Introduction to the Issue
The criminal trial of O. J. Simpson, his acquittal, and the subsequent public reaction have provided an opportunity to apply social science models and methods in ways that have enhanced our understanding of the complexity and dynamics of ethnicity. Most of the articles in this issue focus on ethnicity and go beyond simplistic analyses of ethnic differences in responses to O. J. Simpson and the trial. These analyses inform us that ethnicity is bes…

Frantz Fanon's the Wretched of the Earth in Contemporary Perspective
Wretched of the Earth (New York: Grove Press, 1968) is a lasting testimony to the genius of Frantz Fanon. Hailed as The Handbook for the Black Revolution, Wretched of the Earth is a probing examination of colonialization, a compelling description of the process of decolonization, and a prophetic analysis of independence movements around the world. Wretched of the Earth provides a glimpse of Fanon's grand vision of international and intercultural …

Scientific Racism: The Cloak of Objectivity
This article reviews an application of sociobiological perspectives on “racial” differences, focusing on the work of J. P. Rushton. Rushton has concluded that, as a result of evolutionary processes, the three major “racial” groups may be hierarchically ranked such that Mongoloids > Caucasoids > Negroids. The assumptions and evidence presumably supportive of Rushton's sociobiological perspective are reviewed and critiqued. The concept of “race” is…

Black, Negro, or Afro-American: The Differences Are Crucial
Race names have long been associated with the development and maintenance of racial attitudes. Indeed, when the first Europeans discovered Africa and Africans, they were quick to label Africans because this term maximized the perceived differences between African and European (Jordan, 1968). In this connection, Jordan (1968) and others (e.g., Longshore, 1979) have noted the long history of the negative connotations associated with the color black…
Values of Convergence for Indian Students in the United States
The present study examined the relationship between length of stay in the United States, length of stay in India, and the ratio becween these two variables, on Indian students' ratings and rankings of Morris' (2) 13 Ways Live. Although there have been studies of this nature using other Eastern minority groups (e.g., Chinese and Japanese) research on Indian populations !]as been rare. Available research is limited comparisons of Indian and America…
Black Residential Mobility: Trends and Characteristics
This analysis of trends in Black residential mobility uses a multi‐disciplinary approach that incorporates contributions from sociology, psychology, economics, demography, and social geography, among others. It examines population migrations from Africa during the slave trade, mobility patterns during the internal slave trade within the United States, and the large population shifts during the industrialization of the urban North and West. Contem…
Chicano, Hispanic, or Mexican American: What's in a Name
This study examined the impact of three ethnic labels—Chicanos, Hispanics, and Mexican Americans—on the stereotyping behavior of a sample of white university undergraduates. Using the Katz and Braly (1933) paradigm, two hypotheses were tested. First, it was expected that “Chicanos” would receive a larger percentage of subjects selecting negative stereotypes than would “Hispanics” or “Mexican Americans” (Mexican Americans were expected to be stere…
