Now I understand that you were born in Columbia, South Carolina, to Charles and Bessie Trippett Boineau. Could you describe your early life and childhood? Boineau: My father was in the brokerage and storage business here in Columbia and in 1931, went out on his own and started Boineau's Moving and Storage. We were living in Columbia at that time, until my mother, Bessie Trippett Boineau, was asked by her mother, my maternal grandmother, to move to Boykin, which was outside of Camden, to help save the plantation which my grandmother had inherited. It was [located] part in Kershaw County and part in Sumter County. Woods: Was that the Midfield...? Boineau: Midfield's Plantation, right. It was quite an undertaking and my mother had no knowledge of farming, but when Mamma, as we called...she was Bessie Cash Irby. Incidentally, my grandmother was the daughter of Colonel Ellerbee Bogan Crawford Cash, who fought the last legal duel in South Carolina. I often joke that since Colonel Cash was successful and was the winner of the duel, I was around to be the first Republican.

  • Immigration and SPLC
    Center for Immigration Studies Backgrounder March 2010 Immigration and the SPLC How the Southern Poverty Law Center Invented a Smear, Served La Raza, Manipulated the Press, and Duped its Donors By Jerry Kammer Introduction This report examines the efforts by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) to smear the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) and, by extension, the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) and NumbersUSA. With no serious analysis, the SPLC in late 2007 unilaterally labeled FAIR a “hate group.” That poisonous designation became the centerpiece of a “Stop the Hate” campaign launched by the National Council of La Raza (NCLR), also known as La Raza, to call on Congress and the media to exclude FAIR from the national debate on immigration. The campaign gathered strength as newspapers across the country reported that FAIR had been “designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.” While the news stories generally included FAIR’s denial of the charge, thereby providing a semblance of balance, the designation’s taint lingered. The SPLC, presenting itself as a non-partisan, public-interest watchdog, never acknowledged — and no reporter ever disclosed — that the center was an active ally of the NCLR in the campaign. The evidence presented here demonstrates that the SPLC became a propaganda arm of the NCLR. The SPLC’s decision to smear FAIR was the work of a kangaroo court, one convened to reach a pre-determined verdict by inventing or distorting evidence. The “Stop the Hate” campaign would more accurately be labeled as a campaign to “Stop the Debate.” As this report notes, FAIR, CIS, and NumbersUSA have raised questions about the social, economic, and fiscal costs of the “comprehensive immigration reform” sought by La Raza and such allies as the National Immigration Forum and America’s Voice.

Russell Hawkins This dissertation contends that religion played a critical role in explaining why and how white South Carolinians decided to resist changes in the racial caste system of their society during the middle decades of the last century. As early as 1950 with the first stirrings of desegregation occurring in their state, white evangelicals in the Palmetto State began making appeals to both the Bible and the natural world to derive a theology that emphasized the divine mandate for racial segregation.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death in South Carolina. Smoking-related medical costs amount to $1.1 billion each year, including $393 million for Medicaid. • Tobacco growing in South Carolina declined by over 50 percent from 1997 to 2008. Tobacco accounted for less than 10% of the state's cash receipts from all crops in 2007. Despite the low levels of actual tobacco growing and the small role tobacco played in the state's economy in 2008, the cultural construct of being a “tobacco growing state” continued to have a disproportionately large impact on tobacco control policy making.

  • Racial Formation in the United States
    Racial Formation in the United States Racial Formation in the United States is appearing here in an entirely new edition, 20 years since its last publication. Authors Michael Omi and Howard Winant have maintained the structure and vision of their classic work, but have completely revised and rewritten every chapter. The ambitious purpose of the book remains the same: to develop a theory of race and racism adequate to their complexity, historical depth, and ongoing political impor- tance. Racial Formation explains how concepts of race are created and transformed, how race shapes U.S. society, and how it permeates both identities and institutions. Some of the contemporary themes that Omi and Winant discuss are: the steady journey of the U.S. toward a majority nonwhite population, the creativity and political legacy of post-World War II anti-racism, the linkage between colorblind racial ideology and neoliberalism, the new racial genomics, the emergence of “implicit bias” accounts of race, the rise of a mass immigrants rights movement, the achievement of race/class/gender intersectionality theories, and the election and reelection of a black president of the United States. In Part I the authors review and critique the main theories of race—the ethnicity-, class-, and nation-based paradigms—examining the main contemporary trends and limits in racial theory. In Part II they off er their own advanced theory of racial formation, placing the racialized body much more front and center in the analysis, without diminishing in any way their commitment to a social constructionist account of race. Omi and Winant argue that throughout U.S.
