Race, Migration, and Chinese and Irish Domestic Servants in the United States, 1850-1920
An Intimate World: Race, Migration, and Chinese and Irish Domestic Servants in the United States, 1850-1920 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Andrew Theodore Urban IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Advised by Donna Gabaccia and Erika Lee June 2009 © Andrew Urban, 2009 Acknowledgements While I rarely discussed the specifics of my dissertation with my fellow graduate students and friends at the University of Minnesota – I talked about basically everything else with them. No question or topic was too large or small for conversations that often carried on into the wee hours of the morning. Caley Horan, Eric Richtmyer, Tim Smit, and Aaron Windel will undoubtedly be lifelong friends, mahjong and euchre partners, fantasy football opponents, kindred spirits at the CC Club and Mortimer’s, and so on. I am especially grateful for the hospitality that Eric and Tim (and Tank the cat) offered during the fall of 2008, as I moved back and forth between Syracuse and Minneapolis. Aaron and I had the fortune of living in New York City at the same time in our graduate careers, and I have fond memories of our walks around Stuyvesant Park in the East Village and Prospect Park in Brooklyn, and our time spent with the folks of Tuesday night. Although we did not solve all of the world’s problems, we certainly tried. Living in Brooklyn, I also had the opportunity to participate in the short-lived yet productive “Brooklyn Scholars of Domestic Service” (AKA the BSDS crew) reading group with Vanessa May and Lara Vapnek.

The Great Generational Shift UPDATE 2017 by Bruce Tulgan by Bruce Tulgan
The Great Generational Shift UPDATE 2017 By Bruce Tulgan By Bruce Tulgan Since 1993, we have been tracking the “Great Generational Shift” underway in the workforce and we remain committed to updating our research every year in this white paper. To date, our primary research has included hundreds of thousands of participants from more than 400 organizations, as well as our ongoing review of internal survey data from our clients reflecting millions of respondents. In this 2017 update, we provide adjustments based on our latest data from tracking this powerful demographic transformation. This is the generational shift that demographers and workforce planners have been anticipating for decades. Now it’s actually happening. As the Baby Boomers’ slow but steady exodus from the workforce continues, the Second Wave Millennials continue entering the workforce in droves. This radical shift in numbers is accompanied by a profound transformation in the norms, values, attitudes, expectations and behaviors of the emerging post-Boomer workforce. What follows: 1. The Numbers Problem: Workforce 2017 (and 2020 is just around the corner). 2. The Forces Driving Change: No Ordinary Generation Gap. 3. The Workforce of the Future Is Arriving: Welcome to the Workplace of the Future. 4. Human Capital Management 2017: What Does the Generational Shift Mean for Employers? 5. Employee Mindset 2017: Spotlight on the Second Wave Millennials. 6. Leadership 2017: What Does the Generational Shift Mean for Leaders, Managers, and Supervisors? 1 Copyright, RainmakerThinking, Inc., 2017, All Rights Reserved 1. The Numbers Problem: Workforce 2017 (and 2020 is just around the corner). Based on our model, there are six different generations still working side by side in 2017, but just barely: Note: Demographers differ about the exact parameters of each generation.

Dear Authors, a Group of Us Have Gotten Together to Write A
Dear Authors, A group of us have gotten together to write a joint letter to our readers about the dispute Amazon is having with the publisher Hachette. That letter is below, along with a list of signatories so far. This is a work in progress. We are asking authors to join us in this effort. When we are done collecting signatures, we plan to publish in a full-page ad in the New York Times. If you are an author and wish to sign the letter, please email me at [email protected]. I will gladly add your name to the list. This is a totally independent effort. No organization, company, or publishing house is sponsoring us. With best wishes, Douglas Preston A letter to our readers: Amazon is involved in a commercial dispute with the book publisher Hachette, which owns Little Brown, Grand Central Publishing, and other familiar imprints. These sorts of disputes happen all the time between companies and they are usually resolved in a corporate back room. But in this case, Amazon has done something unusual. It has directly targeted Hachette’s authors in an effort to force their publisher to agree to its terms. For the past month, Amazon has been: --Boycotting Hachette authors, refusing to accept pre-orders on Hachette’s authors’ books, claiming they are “unavailable.” --Refusing to discount the prices of many of Hachette’s authors’ books. --Slowing the delivery of thousands of Hachette’s authors’ books to Amazon customers, indicating that delivery will take as long as several weeks on most titles.

C.Caswell); published May 16, 1917; $1.50; three copies, two with the stunning dust jacket, now almost exotic in its rarity, with the front flap reading: “Just as THE HARBOR was the story of a constantly changing life out upon the fringe of the city, along its wharves, among its ships, so the story of Roger Gale’s family pictures the growth of a generation out of the embers of the old in the ceaselessly changing heart of New York. How Roger’s three daughters grew into the maturity of their several lives, each one so different, Mr. Poole tells with strong and compelling beauty, touching with deep, whole-hearted conviction some of the most vital problems of our modern way of living!the home, motherhood, children, the school; all of them seen through the realization, which Roger’s dying wife made clear to him, that whatever life may bring, ‘we will live on in our children’s lives.’ The old Gale house down-town is a little fragment of a past generation existing somehow beneath the towering apartments and office-buildings of the altered city. Roger will be remembered when other figures in modern literature have been forgotten, gazing out of his window at the lights of some near-by dwelling lifting high above his home, thinking
