  • 1 Copyright 2004 by the American Sociological Association Section on the History of Sociology
    A BRIEF CENTENNIAL BIBLIOGRAPHY OF RESOURCES ON THE HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN SOCIOLOGICAL SOCIETY/ASSOCIATION1 Compiled by the Centennial Bibliography Project Committee2 American Sociological Association Section on the History of Sociology ELEBRATING THE CENTENNIAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION provides the ritual occasion and reinforces the intellectual rationale for collectively exploring our Cprofessional and organizational roots. To guide us on our way, we have compiled a brief bibliography of relevant materials and exemplars that explicate the early history of the American Sociological Society and – to some degree – its subsequent evolution (the line separating “history” from “current events” is not always easily drawn). Practicing extreme parsimony, we have intentionally excluded literally thousands of otherwise important and instructive published works that focus primarily on specific departments of sociology, the ideas and accomplishments of individual sociologists, the development of sociological theories, the general intellectual history of the discipline as a whole, and myriad other matters of obvious historical and disciplinary interest. We hasten to add, however, that the structure and practical scope of a much more inclusive bibliography is now under consideration and is soon to be implemented. In the interim, we provide here a small down payment: a narrowly defined set of references for selected articles – and still fewer monographs – that specifically address, in various ways, the founding era and subsequent evolution of the American Sociological Society as a professional organization. To these citations, we add lists of relevant journals, abstracts, indexes and databases, and append the locations of archival deposits for the first ten presidents of the American Sociological Society, with the hope of encouraging ever more scholarship on the early history of the ASS/ASA per se.3 Corrections and suggested additions to this bibliography, focused specifically on the history of the ASS/ASA, are welcomed by the committee.

    “KNOCKING ON THE BIG CITY’S DOOR”: SOCIOLOGY AND SOUTHERN MIGRANTS TO CHICAGO IN THE EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURY By Aja Bain A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in History Middle Tennessee State University August 2016 Thesis Committee: Dr. Kristine McCusker, Chair Dr. Mary Hoffschwelle ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Behind every successful graduate student, there is a small army of dedicated professors, colleagues, friends, and family offering encouragement and guidance. My case is no exception. I extend deepest thanks to my advisors Dr. Kristine McCusker and Dr. Mary Hoffschwelle for their patience and invaluable feedback throughout this process, as well as their boundless optimism that I was up to the task. Dr. Susan Myers- Shirk also guided me through the beginning stages of this research and encouraged me to develop it for the thesis, for which I am sincerely grateful. My family, who have nurtured my love of history from the very beginning, also deserve tremendous thanks for their love and support, as well as their belief that I really can earn a living doing what I love. My friends (notably the Gore Girls) who have tirelessly cheered me on, pushed me to do my best, and empathized even if they aren’t quite sure what I’m doing, similarly deserve more credit and gratitude than I can express. Thank you all so very much. ii ABSTRACT This thesis examines the sociological response to Southern migrants in Chicago during the period of explosive outmigration from the 1920s through the 1950s. Sociologists navigated a complex framework of race, class, and region to study and aid these migrants.
