Dædalus Journal of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences The labyrinth designed by Daedalus for King Minos of Crete, on a silver tetradrachma from Cnossos, Crete, c. 350–300 b.c. (35 mm, Cabinet des Médailles, Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris). “Such was the work, so intricate the place, / That scarce the workman all its turns cou’d trace; / And Daedalus was puzzled how to ½nd / The secret ways of what himself design’d.”–Ovid, Metamorphoses, Book 8) Dædalus was founded in 1955 and established as a quarterly in 1958. The journal’s namesake was renowned in ancient Greece as an inventor, scien- tist, and unriddler of riddles. Its emblem, a maze seen from above, symbol- izes the aspiration of its founders to “lift each of us above his cell in the lab- yrinth of learning in order that he may see the entire structure as if from above, where each separate part loses its comfortable separateness.” The American Academy of Arts & Sciences, like its journal, brings togeth- er distinguished individuals from every ½eld of human endeavor. It was chartered in 1780 as a forum “to cultivate every art and science which may tend to advance the interest, honour, dignity, and happiness of a free, inde- pendent, and virtuous people.” Now in its third century, the Academy, with its nearly ½ve thousand elected members, continues to provide intellectual leadership to meet the critical challenges facing our world.

In this issue The Two Worlds of Race Revisited: A Meditation on Race in the Age of Obama by Gerald Early . 11 Nearly ½fty years ago, the American Academy organized a conference and two issues of its journal Dædalus on the topic of “The Negro American.” The project engaged top intel- lectuals and policy-makers around the conflicts and limitations of mid-1960s liberalism in dealing with race. Speci½cally, they grappled with the persistent question of how to integrate a forced-worker population that had been needed but that was socially undesir- able once its original purpose no longer existed. Today, racism has been discredited as an idea and legally sanctioned segregation belongs to the past, yet the question the confer- ence participants explored–in essence, how to make the unwanted wanted–still remains. Recent political developments and anticipated demographic shifts, however, have recast the terms of the debate. Gerald Early, guest editor for the present volume, uses Barack Obama’s election to the presidency as a pretext for returning to the central question of “The Negro American” project and, in turn, asking how white liberalism will fare in the context of a growing minority population in the United States. Placing his observations alongside those made by John Hope Franklin in 1965, Early positions his essay, and this issue overall, as a meditation on how far we have come in America to reach “the age of Obama” and at the same time how far we have to go before we can overcome “the two worlds of race.” The Two Worlds of Race: A Historical View by John Hope Franklin . 28 Franklin’s essay traces the practices, policies, and laws that, from colonial times through the mid-1960s moment when he composed his essay, created and sustained the two worlds of race in America. He outlines the history of efforts from that period to alleviate racial distinctions and to foster a “world of equality and complete human fellowship.” Franklin cautions, however, that even certain well-intentioned efforts to extend services, opportu- nities, and rights to African Americans sometimes reinforced segregation and discrimina- tion.

  • Historical Origins of the One-Drop Racial Rule in the United States
    Historical Origins of the One-Drop Racial Rule in the United States Winthrop D. Jordan1 Edited by Paul Spickard2 Editor’s Note Winthrop Jordan was one of the most honored US historians of the second half of the twentieth century. His subjects were race, gender, sex, slavery, and religion, and he wrote almost exclusively about the early centuries of American history. One of his first published articles, “American Chiaroscuro: The Status and Definition of Mulattoes in the British Colonies” (1962), may be considered an intellectual forerunner of multiracial studies, as it described the high degree of social and sexual mixing that occurred in the early centuries between Africans and Europeans in what later became the United States, and hinted at the subtle racial positionings of mixed people in those years.3 Jordan’s first book, White over Black: American Attitudes Toward the Negro, 1550–1812, was published in 1968 at the height of the Civil Rights Movement era. The product of years of painstaking archival research, attentive to the nuances of the thousands of documents that are its sources, and written in sparkling prose, White over Black showed as no previous book had done the subtle psycho-social origins of the American racial caste system.4 It won the National Book Award, the Ralph Waldo Emerson Prize, the Bancroft Prize, the Parkman Prize, and other honors. It has never been out of print since, and it remains a staple of the graduate school curriculum for American historians and scholars of ethnic studies. In 2005, the eminent public intellectual Gerald Early, at the request of the African American magazine American Legacy, listed what he believed to be the ten most influential books on African American history.

Even understanding “mulatto strategies” is difficult because it is to study a group shrouded in historical ambiguity by choice.

  • Imperial Sorting Grids: Institutional Logics of Diversity and the Classificatory Legacies of the First Wave of European Overseas Expansion Peter Stamatov
    Imperial Sorting Grids: Institutional Logics of Diversity and the Classificatory Legacies of the First Wave of European Overseas Expansion Peter Stamatov Working Paper # 0009 October 2017 Division of Social Science Working Paper Series New York University Abu Dhabi, Saadiyat Island P.O Box 129188, Abu Dhabi, UAE https://nyuad.nyu.edu/en/academics/divisions/social-science.html Imperial Sorting Grids: Institutional Logics of Diversity and the Classificatory Legacies of the First Wave of European Overseas Expansion1 Peter Stamatov This paper identifies two distinct patterns of defining legitimate human ethno-racial kinds that emerged in the course of the first wave of European overseas expansion between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries and, since then, have shaped in two distinct ways cognitions of human diversity. One is the “differentialist” racial imagination typical of formerly British and Dutch colonies that makes a strong distinction between a limited set of categories. The other is fine- graded and extensive nomenclature of phenotypic and cultural difference prevalent in territories of the former Portuguese, Spanish, and French empires. These two ideal typical modes of cognitively and symbolically sorting human diversity form two distinct institutional logics of diversity. Contrary to folk intuitions about natural bodily differences between individuals of different “races” with their typical somatic properties, these institutional logics of diversity do not simply describe pre-existing ethno-racial groups, but rather provide general cultural templates for the sets of basic human kinds into which populations are “sliced.”2 The two institutional logics thus allow for the social construction of certain, but not other, human kinds. In this manner, they have the causal power to consistently frame social reality.

  • Questionnaire an Actor: Eddie Murphy
    Questionnaire An actor: Eddie Murphy The film actor Eddie Murphy was born on April 3 rd 1961 in Brooklyn, New York City. His father Charles was a policeman in the NYC public transport system and his mother Lilian was a telephone operator. When Eddie was 3, his parents divorced and, 6 years later, Lillan married a factory worker called Vernon Lynch. The family moved to Roosevelt, Long Island, a predominantly black suburb 20 miles from New York. Even as a small child Eddie was an excellent mimic. "My mother says I never talked in my own voice - always cartoon characters." Because of his natural ability to amuse people he soon became the most popular kid at Roosevelt High School. When he was only 15 he worked as a disc jockey at a local youth club and discovered that audiences loved his style of humour too. Just a few months after leaving school, in 1979, he found a regular job as a comedian in a New York night club called "The Comic Strip". His reputation grew and he was invited to appear on the popular television comedy show "Saturday Night Live", which is shown across the whole country. However it was his first film, a thriller with Nick Nolte called "48 Hours" in 1982, which really made him famous. "Beverly Hills Cop", his most successful comedy films, was made 2 years later. Everybody thinks that the role of Axel Foley in this film was created for Eddie Murphy but, in fact, he was not the first choice. Mickey Rourke, Sylvester Stallone and even Jack Nicholson were considered for the part before him.

  • Stevie Wonder Soundtracks Blog Website Version
    1 The follow-up studio album, after the anthology album “Looking Back” (1977), was “Stevie Wonder's Journey Through The Secret Life of Plants", the first soundtrack album of his career, released in 1979. It was based on the book of the same name written by Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird. The album can be described as a soundtrack documentary relating to plant life. The album only produced one major hit single, “Send One Your Love”, which topped the Billboard Adult Contemporary Singles Chart week-ending 22nd December 1979 (2 weeks). The single features Stevie Wonder on vocal and Ben Bridges and Rick Zunigar on guitars. It is a very slow tempo track, with Rick Zunigar playing standing bass, and Ben Bridges playing rhythm acoustic guitar. Wonder also plays the drums on the track. This is a very relaxing track compared to many of his previous recordings, similar in tempo to "You Are The Sunshine of My Life". The track was recorded at the famous Sigma Sound Studios, Philadelphia, PA, known for “The Philadelphia Sound”. The beginning of the track features voices of people that explode into a funky jazz fusion number, in a style that was very popular during the 1970s. You can hear a funky bass line with Vocoder voice box used in the 2 middle of the track and a choir of beautiful voices singing in the background. Ken Tucker of the Rolling Stone music magazine wrote an article dated 24th January 1980, that contains some unusual advice: “Begin at the end. Stevie Wonder's Journey through the Secret Life of Plants is so uneven, so full of tiny pleasures and bloated tedium, that for some assurance that Wonder hasn't lost his touch, you ought to start by listening to ��1979 the LP's last cut.
