Submittals The Comparative Civilizations Review publishes analytical studies and interpretive essays primarily concerned with (1) the comparison of whole civilizations, (2) the development of theories and methods especially useful in comparative civilization studies, (3) accounts of intercivilizational contacts, and (4) significant issues in the humanities or social sciences studied from a comparative civilizational perspective. By “a comparative civilizational perspective” we mean (1) the use of evidence from more than one civilization (the various national traditions of the modern West being regarded, if so desired, as constituents of a single civilization) and (2) a method likely to throw new light either on the origins, processes, or structures of civilizations or on the problems of interpreting civilizations.

    Washington History in the Classroom This article, © the Historical Society of Washington, D.C., is provided free of charge to educators, parents, and students engaged in remote learning activities. It has been chosen to complement the DC Public Schools curriculum during this time of sheltering at home in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. “Washington History magazine is an essential teaching tool,” says Bill Stevens, a D.C. public charter school teacher. “In the 19 years I’ve been teaching D.C. history to high school students, my scholars have used Washington History to investigate their neighborhoods, compete in National History Day, and write plays based on historical characters. They’ve grappled with concepts such as compensated emancipation, the 1919 riots, school integration, and the evolution of the built environment of Washington, D.C. I could not teach courses on Washington, D.C. Bill Stevens engages with his SEED Public Charter School history without Washington History.” students in the Historical Society’s Kiplinger Research Library, 2016. Washington History is the only scholarly journal devoted exclusively to the history of our nation’s capital. It succeeds the Records of the Columbia Historical Society, first published in 1897. Washington History is filled with scholarly articles, reviews, and a rich array of images and is written and edited by distinguished historians and journalists. Washington History authors explore D.C. from the earliest days of the city to 20 years ago, covering neighborhoods, heroes and she-roes, businesses, health, arts and culture, architecture, immigration, city planning, and compelling issues that unite us and divide us.

  • “A Dream Deferred”: the Southern Negro Youth Congress, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, and the Politics of Historical Memory
    “A DREAM DEFERRED”: THE SOUTHERN NEGRO YOUTH CONGRESS, THE STUDENT NONVIOLENT COORDINATING COMMITTEE, AND THE POLITICS OF HISTORICAL MEMORY “WHAT HAPPENS TO A DREAM DEFERRED?” —LANGSTON HUGHES When the inimitable W. E. B. Du Bois stepped to the podium in Columbia, South Carolina’s Township Auditorium late that Saturday afternoon, October 20,1946, he proudly peered out over an enthusiastic crowd. A loud speaker carried his long-awaited message to those eager to hear him yet unable to get in; the overflow had gladly assembled on the lawn outside the auditorium. On the occasion of its Seventh Annual Southern Youth Legislature, the Southern Negro Youth Congress (SNYC) was delighted to be honoring Du Bois: “the senior statesman of the American Negro’s liberation struggle, the noble and peerless patriarch of our steady climb out of slavery’s darkness into the light of full freedom.”1 Before an audience of over 2,000, Du Bois spoke prophetically of a future black freedom movement coming out of the South led by the region’s black youth, a movement that he hoped would transform the South, the nation, indeed the world. “The future of American Negroes is in the South,” Du Bois proclaimed. “I trust then that an organization like yours is going to regard the South as the battle-ground of a great crusade…. This is the firing line not simply for the emancipation of the African Negro and the Negroes of the West Indies; for the emancipation of the colored races ….” Du Bois’ stirring message ignited applause from the audience, which took his message to heart.

  • HERMAN CAIN and the RISE of the BLACK RIGHT Now I
    HERMAN CAIN AND THE RISE OF THE BLACK RIGHT Now I acknowledge that liberty is a great thing, and worth seeking for, if we can get it honestly; and by our good conduct prevail upon our masters to set us free: though for my own part I do not wish to be free,…for many of us who are grown up slaves, and have always had masters to take care of us, should hardly know how to take care of themselves; and it may be for our own comfort to remain as we are(p. 19). Jupiter Hammon, 1760 (Banks, 1996) There have always been Black conservatives. The quote above is from America’s first Black published author, Rev. Jupiter Hammon. His master saw fit to publish his defense of slavery but other works on the humanity of slaves were left unpublished. Hammon preached that political resistance and agitation were unimportant and that the true task was to live a proper life seeking the salvation of God. One scholar cites his beliefs as perhaps the first expression of a distinctly African American Protestant ethic (Bracey, 2008). From the Afro-British of the pre-Revolutionary War era through Booker T. Washington and the Black Republicans of the Nixon administration, Blacks have demonstrated a range of perspectives yet it would be difficult to label any of them right wing. They believed their fate was tied to that of other Blacks in a struggle for equality. The route to be taken to secure that equality was the subject of contention. Thus the rise of a Black Right, symbolized by the brief ascendance of Herman Cain, denying collective struggle and uniting with those opposing civil rights is a new phenomena.

  • HUNGER HURTS. WE CAN HELP. Feeding a Growing Need
    SM Everyone has a role in ending hunger in our community. 2010 Annual Report HUNGER HURTS. WE CAN HELP. FEEDING A GROWING NEED. Leadership Message Dear Friends, Our work during the 2010 fiscal year reached historic milestones towards ending hunger in our community. Working together, as dedicated partners, we can accomplish even more. With your help, we were able to distribute a record 34.4 million pounds of food, or 26.46 million meals. We did this in partnership with nearly 550 member food pantries, soup kitchens and shelters, along with 30 of our own direct distribution programs such as BackPack, Kids Cafes and Brown Bag for seniors. We guaranteed the nutritional value of the food, and expanded our reach into underserved areas of eastern Massachusetts. In addition, we expanded our programs that serve vulnerable populations of seniors and children. We did all of this despite a weak economy and stubbornly high unemployment, two factors that kept the need for emergency food assistance growing during the year. Our 2010 Hunger Study showed a 23 percent increase in the need for food over the past four years. Despite difficult fiscal times, we raised a record $8.6 million and increased the amount of nutritious food we purchased. We successfully advocated the state legislature to keep the food purchasing line for the Massachusetts Emergency Food Assistance Program level at $11.5 million. During the year we hosted U.S. Senator Paul Kirk, U.S. Senator Scott Brown, Governor Deval Patrick, Mayor Thomas Menino, Attorney General Martha Coakley, and House Speaker Robert DeLeo.

    SOCIOLOGICAL FORMULATIONS OF ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL IDEOLOGIES By ALEX SAMUEL FREEDMAN \I Bachelor of Arts Louisiana State University Baton Rouge, Louisiana 1948 Master of Arts Louisiana State University Baton Rouge, Louisiana 1950 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY July, 1975 GJ Copyright By Alex Samuel Freedman 1975 O:<LAHOMA STATE Ur·~iVfa~SITY SOCIOLOGICAL FORMULATIONS OF ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL IDEOLOGIES Thesis Approved: Dean of the Graduate College 938H3i. ii PREFACE The study of ideology is hardly a science; thus, it is difficult to implement standardized methodological procedures in its analysis. It becomes necessary, therefore, to utilize an optional approach, sociology as an art form, in gaining proper insights into the signifi­ cance of ideology as it is manifested in society via values and influ­ ences in regards to how persons act out their lives. The assumption which is made here is that when C. Wright Mills described the "socio­ logical imagination," he was referring to individuals acting as whole persons aware of ideological constraint. A selection of literature dealing with ideology and the sociology of knowledge is critically reviewed for purposes of gaining a general understanding of the concept. This literature, not exhaustive because of time and space considerations, is designed to introduce the main­ stream contributions of Marx, Mannheim, Sorokin and others to the controversial nature of ideology. Issues such as "New Left," "Radical Sociology" and the "End of Ideology" controversy are reviewed for their impact on the concept.
