ABSTRACT: The authors of the 4 essays presented in this
document expressing minority viewpoints are members of the
Southwest Intergroup Relations Council, an organization
established to highlight, through publication, problems of
the minorities of the Southwest. The first entry, "Blacks,
Browns, and Reds--Colors Far Apart," points out the rift
between Blacks, Mexican Americans, and Indians as a result
of the struggle for power in organizations and for control
of Federal programs. The second article, "E Pluribus Unum:
La Raza," takes a historical look at the plight of Mexican
Americans who, as "original" owners of the land in the
Southwest, are now deposed and have been forced to an image
of a people in dire need of social and cultural
rehabilitation. The essay "Indian and Other Tribes"
presents the Indian viewpoint regarding the
integrationist's theory of the melting pot as being applied
to the Indian without regard to existing rights of tribes
as sovereign communities. "Patterns of American Prejudice"
is a report on a major study of contemporary anti-Semitism
in the United States. The final essay, "Thoughts on the
Dominant American," discusses the social science and
literature of America being redundantly concerned with the
fates and fortunes of the minorities while the social
consciousness of the dominant American needs to be
reassessed. (EL)
