Young This dissertation examines the causes, context, and legacies of the 1927-1928 Colorado coal strike in relationship to the history of labor organizing and coalmining in both Colorado and the United States. While historians have written prolifically about the Ludlow Massacre, which took place during the 1913- 1914 Colorado coal strike led by the United Mine Workers of America, there has been a curious lack of attention to the Columbine Massacre that occurred not far away within the 1927-1928 Colorado coal strike, led by the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW).

In his quarteriy conference call with Wall Street analysts while @Olting 01 results Arbitron CEO Bill Kerr gave his assessment of where radio revenues are heading this year. "We are reiterating our full year guidance for 2011. We continue to expect revenue growth '-----------------------' of 6-8% and earnings per share, diluted, of $1.90-2.05," Kerr said of what Wall Street should expect of Arbitron this year. "In terms of the radio industry as a whole," he continued, "we continue to see the 2010 rebound in radio ad revenue extended into the first quarter of 2011. It does appear, however, to be at a slower· rate than in the fourth quarter of 2010. After a very good fourth quarter with ad spending growing at 6-7% 2010 wrapped up with annual ad sales up around s-6%. In the first quarter of 2011 preliminary estimates by outside analysts indicate radio advertising revenue grew in the low single digits, which is in line with their expectations for the full year 2011. This is consistent with our view of the radio. industry, and while we welcome the continued upturn in ad revenue, we are still seeing signs of 'caution among our radio station customers," Kerr told the analysts.

  • Cohen, Michael. “The Ku Klux Government”: Vigilantism, Lynching
    JSR_v01i:JSR 12/20/06 8:14 AM Page 31 “The Ku Klux Government”: Vigilantism, Lynching, and the Repression of the IWW ■ Michael Cohen, University of California, Berkeley It is almost always the case that a “spontaneous” movement of the subaltern classes is accompanied by a reactionary movement of the right-wing of the dom- inant class, for concomitant reasons. An economic crisis, for instance, engenders on the one hand discontent among the subaltern classes and spontaneous mass movements, and on the other conspiracies among the reactionary groups, who take advantage of the objective weakening of the government in order to attempt coup d’Etat. —Antonio Gramsci 1 When the true history of this decade shall be written in other and less troubled times; when facts not hidden come to light in details now rendered vague and obscure; truth will show that on some recent date, in a secluded office on Wall Street or luxurious parlor of some wealthy club on lower Manhattan, some score of America’s kings of industry, captains of commerce and Kaisers of finance met in secret conclave and plotted the enslavement of millions of workers. Today details are obscured. The paper on which these lines are penciled is criss-crossed by the shadow of prison bars; my ears are be-set by the clang of steel doors, the jangle of fetters and the curses of jail guards. Truth, before it can speak, is stran- gled by power. Yet the big fact looms up, like a mountain above the morning mists; organ- ized wealth has conspired to enslave Labor, and—in enforcing its will—it stops at nothing, not even midnight murders and wholesale slaughter.

  • Gender, Generation and Multiracial Identification in the United States PAA 2019 Submission
    Gender, Generation and Multiracial Identification in the United States PAA 2019 Submission Janet Xu Department of Sociology Princeton University Aliya Saperstein Department of Sociology Stanford University Ann Morning Department of Sociology New York University Sarah Iverson Department of Sociology New York University Short Abstract Previous research finds that women are more likely to identify as multiracial than men. However, most studies offer a limited perspective on multiracial Americans by: 1) restricting attention to children of different-race parents (i.e. first-generation multiracials) and 2) measuring identification as checking two boxes on official forms such as censuses or surveys. Using the 2015 Pew Survey of Multiracial Adults, we offer a more comprehensive intersectional analysis that considers gender differences at various stages: who is aware of having multiracial ancestry, who identifies as mixed race in general, and who selects multiple races for self-identification. Generally, females are more likely to be aware of having multiracial ancestry, but these patterns differ by race. Furthermore, only first-generation females are more likely to choose more than one race for themselves. This offers a more nuanced picture of how gender interacts with other social processes to shape racial identification in the U.S. Gender, Generation and Multiracial Identification in the United States How individuals of mixed-race ancestry self-identify and racially “label” themselves is of great interest to demographers and scholars of race and ethnicity. Do mixed-race individuals identify with primarily one race, or do they see themselves as distinctly mixed race or multiracial, existing “betwixt and between” races? When multiple-race reporting is permitted (as has been the case for the U.S.

  • Inheriting Race: the Classification of U.S
    Inheriting Race: The Classification of U.S. Newborns in the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Birth Cohort Marcel Paret and Aliya Saperstein University of California, Berkeley Department of Sociology 410 Barrows Hall Berkeley, CA 94720 Abstract Do parents pass on race and ethnicity to their children in the way predicted by biological reasoning, where the child is the sum of the parents’ characteristics? Or do parents’ descriptions of their children demonstrate the fluidity and instability expected if race is a “social construct?” Using recently released data from the 2001 birth cohort of the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, we find that while the majority of U.S. newborns are described as a biological notion of race would predict, a nontrivial proportion are not. These children are more likely to match their father’s race or ethnicity than their mother’s and they are less likely to be described as white. Foreign-born parents and their children are also less likely to have matching descriptions than native-born parents and their children. These findings have implications for the measurement of race and ethnicity and for understanding intergenerational processes of racial and ethnic formation. For the past decade, exploring the racial classifications of “multiracial” Americans has been a hallmark of studies seeking to document the unstable, contextual, “socially constructed” nature of race. Studies that demonstrated how people contested racial categories, chose among the possible singe-race options and changed their responses from one context to the next (e.g., Harris and Sim 2002; Xie and Goyette 1997), delivered an implicit blow to widespread notions of race as an apolitical, inherited, biological characteristic.
