Hernández, as the current chair of the National Association for Chicana and Chicano Studies (NACCS), reflects on the “Love Letter to Chicanx Studies.” The author affirms observances within the “letter,” including its considerations of the future of the field, and suggests that we enhance intergenerational knowledge sharing. Hernández presents a provocation on the ultimate goal of liberation as it relates to training and privileging scholars trained in Chicana/o/x Studies, and asks us to think more deeply about how we “do” the work and serve our communities. Finally, he asks that we recover our “Third world” subjectivities and reaffirm our commitment to struggles for shared liberation.

Anyone who likes to analyse the world in terms of comparative statics would , in Ihe light of this book's contents. find his approach erroneous as the book leaves no doubt in the reader's mind that only by unfolding the forces of dynamics can one grasp some reality underlying any change. The author, who grew up in the walled city of Lahore, has, with a beautiful combination of his personal experiences and theorising ability, produced a remarkable study of the intricate processes which may have shaped the existing physical and socio-economic structures of the city.

The University

This chapter challenges the progressive narrative of Hawaiʻi's boosters. It does so by analyzing the rise of opposition movements in Hawaiʻi. In particular, groups advocating for ethnic studies programs at the University of Hawaiʻi and related, nascent movements for native rights are considered. While the liberal multiculturalism of state boosters went largely uncontested in Hawaiʻi in the years before and after statehood, by the late 1960s Hawaiʻi's colonial history and its consequences would be reawakened as excitement over statehood gave way to widespread discontent among those excluded from statehood's rewards. Like the architects of Hawaiʻi's cultural exchange institutions, radicals in Hawaiʻi were also responding to Third World movements for cultural nationalism—as movements not to counteract, but to emulate.

Problems And Solutions

This article extends the argument put forward by Orpen (1985), that management researchers should consider the validity of the model used by applied research practitioners. Given the increasing complexity of issues affecting management and shop-floor workers in South Africa, this paper raises several problems of methodology that researchers applying the traditional 'scientific model' of research are likely to face. The authors draw on their personal experiences in conducting 'applied research', to suggest some solutions to the problems they have raised. The article concludes by suggesting that the 'scientific' model should be the foundation of applied research, but the architecture on top needs to be fitted to the messy and untidy complexities of real-world data-gathering.
