Ethnicity Counts
Official statistics about ethnicity in advanced societies are no better than those in less developed countries. An open industrial society is inherently fluid, and it is as hard to interpret social class and ethnic groups there as in a nearly static community. In consequence, the collection and interpretation of ethnic statistics is frequently a battleground where the groups being counted contest each element of every enumeration.

Free Jazz/Black Power
In 1971, French jazz critics Philippe Carles and Jean-Louis Comolli cowrote Free Jazz/Black Power, a treatise on the racial and political implications of jazz and jazz criticism.

Theater Directing
Polish-born director, writer, playwright, and scholar Braun (State U. of New York-Buffalo) sets down the approach to creative theatre directing that he teaches in his classes. It is based on the two premises that directing is an act of creating--of making something out of nothing--and that is also a craft that requires skills, techniques, methods, and tools to express the artistic energies and spiritual abundance of human life.

The text is double spaced. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
