Goldsmith 2018 Abstract This dissertation shows how an array of policymakers, invested in uprooting an unequal political economy descended from the plantation system and Jim Crow, gravitated to education as a centerpiece of development strategy, and why so many are still disappointed in its outcomes. By looking at state-wide policymaking in North Carolina and policy effects in the state’s black belt counties, this study shows why the civil rights movement was vital for shifting state policy in former Jim Crow states towards greater investment in human resources. By breaking down employment barriers to African Americans and opening up the South to new people and ideas, the civil rights movement fostered a new climate for economic policymaking, and a new ecosystem of organizations flourished to promote equitable growth.

Euro- peans, crowded in by their seeming lack of space and by a rigid social order, looked with longing across the ocean where space and opportunity abounded. Time and again, men critical of their own society hoped by migration to find the scope for working out their visions of a better order. Yet, in the actual coming, as likely as not, they en- countered the standing quandary of the revolutionary. They had themselves been rebels in order to put into prac- tice their ideas of a new society. But to do so they had to restrain the rebellion of others.

Yet these activities are frequently overlooked in the curricula of the nation's colleges and universities, or mistakenly por­ trayed as the exclusive province of elites. To address this, the Center for the Study of Philanthropy at the Graduate School and University Center of the City University of New York is developing a variety of materials to illuminate the significance of philanthropic activities at every level of society. A series of curriculum guides is one ofseveral resources designed to encourage the development ofundergraduate, graduate and extension courses on multicultural philanthropy. These materials reflect a variety of disciplinary approaches, examining the ways in which eleven different (but not necessarily mutually exclusive) groups-women, Catholics, Protestants, Jews, African Americans, Latinos, Northern Europeans, Southern and Eastern Europeans, Middle-Easterners, South and Southeast Asians, and East Asians-historically used their gifts of time and

  • Winthrop Famity
    Robert W. Moodie Huntington Beach, CA 92646 AMERICANA December.. 1915 The Winthrop Famity HE name of "Winthrop may be traced back; in various spellings, for at least seven centuries. On the Rolls of Court of the county of York, in England, for the year T of our Lord 1200, there is a record which begins with the name of Robert de Winethorp. There is a similar record for the county of Lincoln, seven years later, in which the name of J. Winthorp is found. Thorp is the Saxon word for '' vil­ lage,'' corresponding to the Dutch word Dorp. Win~ w wine, has more than one significance : sometimes meaning ''pleasant,'' sometimes ''the beloved,'' and sometimes standing for that juice of the grape to which both the epithets are not infrequently applied. Dr. Johnson, quoting from Gibson, says that ''Win, whether initial or final, in the names of men, may either denote a mascu­ line temper from pin, which signifies, in Saxon, 'war strength,' etc., or else the general love and esteem he bath among the peo­ ple, from the Saxon pine, i. e., 'dear,' 'beloved.' In the names of places, it implies a battle fought there." An old pedigree of the Winthrop family, of uncertain date, and of still more uncertain detail, commences by stating that "they came anciently from Northumberland;" that "they after­ wards settled in a village not far from Newark, which was called 'Winthrop;'" that "from thence they came up to London, and owned Marribone (Marylebone) Park:" that "from thence they went to Groton, in Suffolk, where they lived many years.'' The branch of the Winthrop family that, in the person of Gov­ ernor John Winthrop, was conspicuously identified with the setr tlement of the Massachusetts Colony, and that in the descendants (985) ., 986 THE WINTHROP FAMILY of the first Governor Winthrop was not less distinguished in the colonial end provincial periods in Connecticut and Massachu­ setts, was of Groton Manor, county Suffolk, and its representa­ tives were prominent and active as far back as the fifteenth cen­ tury.

Dissertation Advisor: Emma Rothschild Nikolas Bowie Corporate America: A History of Corporate Statehood Since 1629 Abstract This dissertation examines the history of “corporate statehood,” or how Americans have understood the corporation as a governmental institution. In contrast to historical accounts of “corporate personhood,” which describe how Americans have understood corporations as if they were legal or metaphorical individuals, this account focuses on the remarkable consistencies between the explicitly governmental corporations of the seventeenth century and the business and municipal corporations of the present. It is a history of how corporations supplied the institutional frameworks for American government and how the normative values associated with American government—like the existence of checks and balances or the need for representatives to govern with the consent of the governed—were reapplied to the corporate form.
