Social & cultural studies | Book Review Lines of thought Franz Boas: the man who opened up anthropology in America By Ira Bashkow Franz Boas | © Alamy IN THIS REVIEW THE REINVENTION OF HUMANITY A story of race, sex, gender and the discovery of culture 432pp. Bodley Head. £25. CHARLES KING 1 of 12 6/4/2020, 7:03 PM The Reinvention of Humanity by Charles King book review https://www.the-tls.co.uk/articles/reinvention-of-humanity-cha... he President of the United States was saying “America must be kept American”, emboldening white supremacists to blame darker-skinned T immigrants for causing crime and taking working-class jobs. It was the 1920s, and the US was erecting barriers against immigration, with severe effects on those who were poor or classed as non-white. White patricians, feeling under threat from those who spoke foreign languages and clustered in tenements, rallied around a confident, energetic, mustachioed ideologue named Madison Grant, a wealthy New Yorker and close friend of President Theodore Roosevelt. Grant’s book The Passing of the Great Race (1916) implausibly suggested that America had once been racially homogeneous but was becoming degraded by immigration – plunged into a chaotic, impoverished “racial abyss”. “Teutonics” or “Nordics” like him were being “replaced”, he warned, by “lower” races and would soon be “extinct”. Grant’s malevolent thesis that racial mixing posed a grave threat to white vitality was seized on by Hitler, who in 1925 wrote Grant a fan letter, praising the German translation of his book as “my Bible”.

Now published for the first Time. New-York: Printed for COLUMBIANA atthe UNIVERSITYPRESS, M.CM.XXXI. Edited and annotated by MILTON HALSEY THOMAS, B.Sc. Curator of Columbiana Reprinted from the COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY QUARTERLY March, 1931, Vol. XXIII, No. i FOREWORD Columbia is most fortunate in having had preserved through a hundred and sixty years that extraordinary docu­ ment, "The Book of Misdemeanours in King's College, New York." Myles Cooper, coming to the College after seven years at Oxford, did much to fit it into the pattern of his alma mater, and as part of his system of rigid discipline he introduced the Black Book, which had been for centuries a tradition at Queen's College, Oxford. In its pages, as in no other record which has come down to us, we can be with the students of King's College day by day in the most inti­ mate manner. Aside from its interest as a human docu­ ment, the Black Book has great value as an unconsciously transmitted source-book with its off-hand mention of facts which historians will eagerly pounce upon. The original is a black leather volume measuring seven and three-fourths by six and one-fourth inches; it is a blank- book of about a hundred and fifty leaves, of which only the first thirty-one pages and the last page bear writing.

  • Alexander Hamilton and the Development of American Law
    Alexander Hamilton and the Development of American Law Katherine Elizabeth Brown Amherst, New York Master of Arts in American History, University of Virginia, 2012 Master of Arts in American History, University at Buffalo, 2010 Bachelor of Science in Applied Economics and Management, Cornell University, 2004 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Virginia May, 2015 This dissertation is dedicated to the memory of Matthew and Theresa Mytnik, my Rana and Boppa. i ABSTRACT ―Alexander Hamilton and the Development of American Law,‖ is the first comprehensive, scholarly analysis of Alexander Hamilton‘s influence on American jurisprudence, and it provides a new approach to our understanding of the growth of federal judicial and executive power in the new republic. By exploring Hamilton's policy objectives through the lens of the law, my dissertation argues that Hamilton should be understood and evaluated as a foundational lawmaker in the early republic. He used his preferred legal toolbox, the corpus of the English common law, to make lasting legal arguments about the nature of judicial and executive power in republican governments, the boundaries of national versus state power, and the durability of individual rights. Not only did Hamilton combine American and inherited English principles to accomplish and legitimate his statecraft, but, in doing so, Hamilton had a profound influence on the substance of American law,

  • Clarke Moore
    REVEREND PROFESSOR CLEMENT CLARKE MOORE “NARRATIVE HISTORY” IS FABULATION, HISTORY IS CHRONOLOGY “Stack of the Artist of Kouroo” Project Clement Clarke Moore HDT WHAT? INDEX CLEMENT CLARKE MOORE CLEMENT CLARKE MOORE 1779 July 15, Thursday: Clement Clarke Moore was born in Manhattan, the only child of heiress Charity Clarke and Dr. Benjamin Moore, Episcopal Bishop of New York, Rector of Trinity Church, and President of Columbia College. HDT WHAT? INDEX CLEMENT CLARKE MOORE CLEMENT CLARKE MOORE 1798 Clement Clarke Moore graduated 1st in his class from Columbia University. As a graduation speaker might have remarked, a great future lay ahead. “Hail, Columbia” was popular as a song — and not just among the members of the graduating class of Columbia University. HDT WHAT? INDEX CLEMENT CLARKE MOORE CLEMENT CLARKE MOORE 1804 The Reverend Clement Clarke Moore attacked Thomas Jefferson anonymously in OBSERVATIONS UPON CERTAIN PASSAGES IN MR. JEFFERSON’S NOTES ON VIRGINIA, WHICH APPEAR TO HAVE A TENDENCY TO SUBVERT RELIGION AND ESTABLISH A FALSE PHILOSOPHY. He reported that he had been made suspicious, when this deep thinker started writing about mountains. It was clear that he was going to make an attempt to use the facts of geology to argue that the BIBLE contained incorrect information as to the age of the earth: “Whenever modern philosophers talk about mountains, something impious is likely to be near at hand.” READ JEFFERSON TEXT It was presumably necessary for the Reverend to issue this tract anonymously, since although he was accusing the President of racism for his remark that “among the blacks there is misery enough, God knows, but not poetry,” his own family, a family that was immensely wealthy, owned the black slaves Thomas, Charles, Ann, and Hester and was in no hurry to set them free.

ACT UP Oral History Project Interview of Charles King January 20, 2010 SARAH SCHULMAN: As we start, if you could just say your name, your age, today’s date, and where we are. CHARLES KING: Sure. My name is Charles King. I turn fifty-five next month, and we are in my offices at Housing Works in Brooklyn, New York. SS: You’re the executive director? CK: I’m the president and CEO. We’ve upgraded our titles here. SS: So where are you from initially, Charles? CK: I was actually born in Wilmington, Delaware. At the age of two, decided to move to Texas, and moved to New Haven, Connecticut, to go to divinity school. SS: What did your parents do? CK: My father was a fundamentalist evangelical minister, missionary, saving the heathen, and my mother was a housewife. We grew up on a five-acre farm. SS: What church were you raised in? CK: Independent Baptist. My father thought Jerry Falwell was a liberal. SS: So when you were growing up in Texas, what was your family’s value about community, helping people in trouble? CK: We had a very strong value of that, but it came out of a very evangelical self-help, “pull yourself by your own bootstraps” kind of mentality. So we were very opposed to anything associated with public welfare, but strongly believed in individual charity that helped people help themselves, I guess would be the best way to describe it.
