Organized by sections and topics of the sort that social studies educators are likely to explore, the book's thirty one chapter focus on (1) The Social Sciences, (2) Societal Problems and Issues,(3) Curriculum, Methods, and Media, and (4) Perspectives on Human Development. Under these four sections, chapters written by specialists in their area of the social sciences discuss major writings on the disciplines and on interrelated topics (poverty, drugs, mass communication, social values, instruction, institutions, society, culture, to name a few).

Washington, D.C. 20036 53,75 Copyright © 1973 by the NATIONAL COUNCIL FOR THE SOCIAL STUDIES Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 73-75298 Foreword In the last ten years or so has come an outpouring of writing in social studies education. So much writing is heartening, but overwhelming. Educators working in a variety of fields want the best of recent scholarship and lucid, fresh presentations of ideas: teachers aiming on their own or with others to improve curricu- lum and instruction; curriculum workers and consultants tackling school problems; college and university educators improving their own programs, and working with pre-service and in-service teachers and others in varying professional roles; librarians mind- ful of what is most helpful to their patrons; and those wanting simply to know more. In a field significant for young people and society, a fieldfull of ideas, the problem of selecting reading materials out of the enormity of what is available is difficult. This Guide to Reading for Social Studies Teachers is intended to help social studies educators find their way into what they need and want to pursue. The bulletin is organized by sections and topics of the sort that social studies educators are likely to explore. Every chapter is written by a person who has studied, read extensively, and thought hard about the area he or she surveys. Their chapters citing selections are, indeed, much needed and useful guides to reading material. The National Council for the Social Studies is deeply indebted to the editor, Jonathon McLendon, for his work on this Guide and for the contributions he has made to NCSS and social studies education over the years. The Council also expresses its appreci- ation to each of the chapter authors. All have given generously of their time, energy, and talent.

Helen Fielstra The National Council for the Social Studies is a National Affiliate of the National Education Association of the United States. It is the professional organization of educators at all levelselementary, secondary, college, and university who are interested in the teaching of social studies. Membership in the National Council for the Social Studies includes a subscription to the Council's official journal, Social Education, and a copy of the Yearbook. In addition, the Council publishes bulletins, curriculum studies, pamphlets, and other materials of practical use for teachers of the social studies. Membership dues are $12.00 a year. Appli- cations for membership and orders for the purchase of publications should be sent to the Executive Secretary, 1201 Sixteenth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036. Introduction The titles of more than 1300 publications recommended for social studies teachers appear in this bulletin. A great variety and number of teachers' materials were developed during the 1960's, and this made it necessary for authors of this volume to limit their comments about _each. cited book to _a_ sentence _or a short paragraph. Nevertheless, they have attempted to be objective, fair, and perceptive in their statements. This bulletin aims to identify the best reading materials for social studies teachers. Space permitted the inclusion of only readings of national significance. Most local, state, regional, and individual project publications, not nationally distributed, thus are not cited. Materials for students are also omitted. Publications about general education, or other fields outside of the social studies, receive little attention. We thought it far more important to focus on areas of specific interest to social studies teachers. The Appendix includes the names of authors whose books are cited and pages where these works are mentioned, and a di- rectory of publishers' addresses. Such information can be valu- able to readers in utilizing this bulletin. Additional listings of bibliographies appear in several chap- ters; they include other references to social sciences/social stud- ies materials. Space limitations did not perrni(the chapter authors to list such items as magazine articles, leaflets, stories, newspaper articles, and other related material. Most attention is given to major books and booklets of the 1960's and the beginning of the 1970's. Many publications on science, mathematics, literature, and several other fields related to social studies, both past and pres- ent, will be of value to social studies teachers, but they are too numerous to include here. This book presents diverse sources that are available in the collections at many schools, school systems, organizations, librar- ies, or from publishers. Almost all publishers in social studies vii are listed in this bulletin. Many of these companies also produce textbooks, films, and other related student materials. Quitea number of publications are published by professional organiza- tions. Most productive are NCSS (National Council for the Social Studies); SSEC (Social Science Education Consortium), which is growing; and several other social science and educational organi- zations. ERIC ChESS (Educational Resources Information Center, Clearinghouse for Social Science/Social Studies Education) iden- tifies a growing amount of writing on specialized and general aspects of social studies. Some projects on social sciences,so- cial studies education, and occasionally general education also produce significant social studies publications. The authors of chapters in this bulletin are mostly outstanding leaders nationally in social studies education. Further, each of them is a specialist in the area covered by his chapter. This 'editor thanks each of these individuals sincerely and heartily for the contributions to this book. Their writing was especially impressive to this editor, a member of NCSS for twenty-seven years, who has not found any better group of multi-authors inany national professional publications for teachers of social studies. It took almost four months last year to obtain the excellent services of these authors, and they required somewhere between two to six months to complete

  • The Ground of Empowerment
    THE GROUND OF EMPOWERMENT W. E. B. Du Bois and the Vision of Africa’s Past by Tracey Lynn Thompson A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto © Copyright by Tracey Lynn Thompson 2011 The Ground of Empowerment W. E. B. Du Bois and the Vision of Africa’s Past Tracey Lynn Thompson Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto 2011 Abstract Scholars have examined many aspects of W. E. B. Du Bois’s project of empowering oppressed peoples in the United States and around the world. However they have treated in only a fragmentary way one of the principal strategies that he used to counter hegemonic ideologies of African and African American inferiority. That strategy was to turn to the evidence of history. Here I argue that Du Bois, alerted by Franz Boas to Africans’ historical attainments, confronted claims made by European Americans that Africans and a fortiori African Americans lacked any achievement independent of European or other foreign influence. Du Bois linked African Americans to Africa and laid out repeatedly and in detail a narrative of autonomous African historical accomplishment. I demonstrate that his approach to the history of Africa constituted a radical departure from the treatment of Africa presented by scholars located in the mainstream of contemporary anglophone academic thought. I argue that while his vision of Africa’s history did not effect any significant shift in scholarly orthodoxy, it played a crucial role, at a grave juncture in race relations in the United States, in helping to equip young African Americans with the psychological resources necessary to challenge white supremacist systems.

  • Religion in China BKGA 85 Religion Inchina and Bernhard Scheid Edited by Max Deeg Major Concepts and Minority Positions MAX DEEG, BERNHARD SCHEID (EDS.)
    Religions of foreign origin have shaped Chinese cultural history much stronger than generally assumed and continue to have impact on Chinese society in varying regional degrees. The essays collected in the present volume put a special emphasis on these “foreign” and less familiar aspects of Chinese religion. Apart from an introductory article on Daoism (the BKGA 85 BKGA Religion in China proto­typical autochthonous religion of China), the volume reflects China’s encounter with religions of the so-called Western Regions, starting from the adoption of Indian Buddhism to early settlements of religious minorities from the Near East (Islam, Christianity, and Judaism) and the early modern debates between Confucians and Christian missionaries. Contemporary Major Concepts and religious minorities, their specific social problems, and their regional diversities are discussed in the cases of Abrahamitic traditions in China. The volume therefore contributes to our understanding of most recent and Minority Positions potentially violent religio-political phenomena such as, for instance, Islamist movements in the People’s Republic of China. Religion in China Religion ∙ Max DEEG is Professor of Buddhist Studies at the University of Cardiff. His research interests include in particular Buddhist narratives and their roles for the construction of identity in premodern Buddhist communities. Bernhard SCHEID is a senior research fellow at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. His research focuses on the history of Japanese religions and the interaction of Buddhism with local religions, in particular with Japanese Shintō. Max Deeg, Bernhard Scheid (eds.)

With every passing year it is becoming more evident that these are shortly to be, if indeed they are not already, quite as important as those with Europe. Ameri­ can business, American missions, and American diplomacy are all intimately concerned with the Far East and we are in addition constantly confronted with the problem of immigration from the Orient. Because of these contacts and the complications which they involve, it is obviously necessary that Americans should make themselves familiar with the nations whose neighbors we have become. College curriculums have been slow to adjust themselves to the need and in but a very few is there given anything that approaches adequate recognition of our trans-Pacific neighbors. We are, fortunately, well supplied with courses on European history and institutions, but to the Far Orient our university schedule­ makers pay only the scantiest attention. While this remains true, the need must in part be met by informal, extra-curriculum groups. It is to meet the needs of such of these groups as wish to study China that this syllabus is prepared.

McNeill University Professor Georgetown University President of the American Historical Association, 2019 Presidential Address New York Hilton Trianon Ballroom New York, New York Saturday, January 4, 2020 5:30 PM John R. McNeill By George Vrtis, Carleton College In fall 1998, John McNeill addressed the Georgetown University community to help launch the university’s new capital campaign. Sharing the stage with Georgetown’s president and other dignitaries, McNeill focused his comments on the two “great things” he saw going on at Georgetown and why each merited further support. One of those focal points was teaching and the need to constantly find creative new ways to inspire, share knowledge, and build intellectual community among faculty and students. The other one centered on scholarship. Here McNeill suggested that scholars needed to move beyond the traditional confines of academic disciplines laid down in the 19th century, and engage in more innovative, imaginative, and interdisciplinary research. Our intellectual paths have been very fruitful for a long time now, McNeill observed, but diminishing returns have set in, information and methodologies have exploded, and new roads beckon. To help make his point, McNeill likened contemporary scholars to a drunk person searching for his lost keys under a lamppost, “not because he lost them there but because that is where the light is.” The drunk-swirling-around-the-lamppost metaphor was classic McNeill. Throughout his academic life, McNeill has always conveyed his ideas in clear, accessible, often memorable, and occasionally humorous language. And he has always ventured into the darkness, searchlight in hand, helping us to see and understand the world and ourselves ever more clearly with each passing year.

Abramowicz: Tax Experimentation TAX EXPERIMENTATION Michael Abramowicz* Abstract Random experiments could allow the government to test tax policies before they are enacted into general law. Such experiments can be revenue-neutral, with the tax authority ensuring ex post that average tax revenues received from taxpayers in the treatment and control groups are equal. Taxpayers might thus volunteer even for experiments that would broaden the tax base, for example by eliminating deductions. Continued participation by taxpayers in such experiments would indicate that the proposed reforms are efficient at least if externalities are disregarded. Non-revenue-neutral experiments raise greater concerns about horizontal inequity, but they may be helpful in addressing questions about effects of tax rates and in increasing participation.

  • Image and Influence: the Political Uses of Music at the Court of Elizabeth I
    Image and Influence: The Political Uses of Music at the Court of Elizabeth I Katherine Anne Butler Royal Holloway, University of London Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Acknowledgements With thanks to all the people who supported me throughout my research, especially: My supervisor, Stephen Rose, My advisors, Elizabeth Eva Leach and Anna Whitelock, The Arts and Humanities Research Council for funding this research, Royal Holloway Music Department for conference grants, My proofreaders, Holly Winterton, Sarah Beal, Janet McKnight and my Mum, My parents and my fiancé, Chris Wedge, for moral support and encouragement. Declaration of Authorship I, Katherine Butler, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: ______________________ Date: ________________________ 2 Abstract In their Cantiones sacrae (1575), court musicians William Byrd and Thomas Tallis declared that ‘music is indispensable to the state’ (necessarium reipub.). Yet although the relationship between Elizabethan politics and literature has been studied often, there has been little research into the political functions of music. Most accounts of court music consist of documentary research into the personnel, institutions and performance occasions, and generally assume that music’s functions were limited to entertainment and displays of magnificence. However, Elizabethans believed that musical concord promoted a social harmony that would ease the process of government; hence politics and music were seen as closely connected. This thesis is an interdisciplinary investigation into the role of music in constructing royal and courtly identities and influencing Elizabeth’s policies and patronage.

AVAILABLE FROM Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402 ($6.50). EDRS PRICE MF02/PC20 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *History: military Personnel: *Military Science: *Military Training: Study Guides ABSTRACT This study guide On military history is intended for use with the young officer just entering upon a military career. There are four major sections to the guide. Part one discusses the scope and value of military history, presents a perspective on military history; and examines essentials of a study program. The study of military history has both an educational and a utilitarian value. It allows soldiers to look upon war as a whole and relate its activities to the periods of peace from which it rises and to which it returns. Military history also helps in developing a professional frame of mind and, in the leadership arena, it shows the great importance of character and integrity. In talking about a study program, the guide says that reading biographies of leading soldiers or statesmen is a good way to begin the study of military history. The best way to keep a study program current is to consult some of the many scholarly historical periodicals such as the "American Historical Review" or the "Journal of Modern History." Part two, which comprises almost half the guide, contains a bibliographical essay on military history, including great military historians and philosophers, world military history, and U.S.
