Black and White Sociology: Segregation of the Discipline BLACK AND WHITE SOCIOLOGY: SEGREGATION OF THE DISCIPLINE A Dissertation by SEAN ELIAS Submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2009 Major Subject: Sociology BLACK AND WHITE SOCIOLOGY: SEGREGATION OF THE DISCIPLINE A Dissertation by SEAN ELIAS Submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Approved by: Chair of Committee, Joe R. Feagin Committee Members, Sarah Gatson Alex McIntosh Wendy L. Moore Dalia Abdelhady Head of Department, Mark Fossett August 2009 Major Subject: Sociology iii ABSTRACT Black and White Sociology: Segregation of the Discipline. (August 2009) Sean Elias, B.A.; M.A., George Mason University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Joe R. Feagin The idea that theories of race, racial segregation and racism have played a central role in the development of sociology and that black and white sociologies have formed because of this condition is not new and has been in circulation among sociologists for some time. While a number of sociologists have examined how race has shaped the discipline, only a few have attempted to examine and define black sociology and white sociology. Despite the initial efforts of some, the two sociologies remain vague, undeveloped concepts, and thus open to skepticism and denunciation. No systematic historical- intellectual investigation of black sociology or white sociology exists and, subsequently, no in-depth comparative analysis of the two exists. Therefore, through a comparative- historical analysis and exercise in the sociology of knowledge, this work seeks to provide a more precise history and theory of black sociology and white sociology. This study argues that black sociology and white sociology represent two distinct intellectual perspectives---sets of ideas---and social practices shaped by past perspectives and practices and social-historical contexts, which are largely racially- defined. More specifically, I will demonstrate that black sociology and white sociology iv develop out of two approaches of thought and action primarily influenced by race, a black tradition of ideas and practices and a white tradition of thought and practices. To map these two traditions, I begin with a review and analysis of works that have discussed (directly or indirectly) black and white sociology and black and white sociologists. Next, I turn to a more focused analysis on the sociological perspectives and practices of W.E.B. Du Bois and Robert Park, examining the ideas and practices that shape each sociologist‘s thought and actions. I identify ways that Park incorporates and advances earlier ideas and practices of whites, and, conversely, how Du Bois incorporates and advances earlier perspectives and practices of blacks. Lastly, I point out how Du Bois‘ ideas and methods, shaped by an earlier black tradition, now informs what is described as black sociology, and how Park‘s ideas and methods, shaped by an earlier white tradition, now informs what is described as white sociology. v DEDICATION To past and present black souls, primarily the scores of black intellectuals, activists, and everyday people---many whose names we will never know---who challenge damaging, unjust white ideologies and social practices that target blacks and all people of color. vi ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to acknowledge my indebtedness to Patricia Joan Elias, a powerful woman and model mother, and W.E.B. Du Bois, a powerful man and intellectual father. Catherine ―Aunt Kay‖ Hersom is another member of my immediate family who taught me the importance of family, faith, and the mysterious. Rutledge Dennis, director of my master‘s thesis, Joe Feagin, chair of my dissertation committee, and John Stone, long-term advisor, were patient with my many false starts and wanderings, sacrificing time and effort as mentors to help me develop into a more thoughtful sociologist. All three in some way deeply inspire this work. Other members of my dissertation committee, Sarah Gatson, Alex McIntosh, Wendy Moore, and Dalia Abdelhady have also provided sound support and sharp advice in this project. While not a committee member, Mary Jo Deegan offered valuable comments that influence this project. Several scholars, teachers, and colleagues deserve mention. Mark Jacobs urged me to pursue sociology. Wayne Froman, Thelma Levine, and Young Chan Ro taught me valuable skills in philosophy. Larry Levine and Marilyn Mobley aided my understanding of the complexities of African American cultural studies. Delores Aldridge, John Stanfield, II, William Strickland, and Alford Young, Jr. offered encouragement and critical comments on earlier writings that inform this project. Three anonymous reviewers at American Journal of Sociology provided detailed, valuable comments and useful suggestions for revision that sharpened ―W.E.B. Du Bois‘ Critique of the White Sociological Frame and Development of the Black Sociological vii Frame‖ in Chapter VII. I am grateful for Mrs. Beattie and Mrs. Owens of St. Stephen‘s School (Alexandria, VA) and Mr. Willard, Mr. Wolsey, and Dr. Davidson of Hebron Academy (Hebron, ME) for realizing my potential and respecting my unique approach to learning and intellectual expression. I have profited from discussions with my graduate student colleagues and faculty in the ‗sociology of race cohort‘ at Texas A&M University, especially Ruth Thompson and Jennifer Mueller. In addition, I owe a special thanks to Mark Fossett for admitting a nontraditional candidate to A&M‘s budding department. Dalia Abdelhady, Uzi Awret, Chuck Bush, Roy Carrier and Family, Erick, Sandy and Bella DeAtkins, Dave Force, Melanie Greentree Black, Mandel Lacey, James Moore, John Nimo, Gabriel ―Pandy‖ Perrodin, Jane Potter, Reggie Smith, Richard Snyder, Doug Stein, Adrian Tan, John, Paula, Jake and Shea Van Roberts, and Mike Welsh are dear friends, old and new, who have taught me valuable life lessons and provided support. I extend my gratitude to the staff at the libraries of George Mason University, Texas A&M University, Southern Methodist University, and the University of Chicago. Finally, I thank all the individuals I have encountered who have sharpened my thought and aided in my personal development. viii NOMENCLATURE AACS African American Chicago School AACSRR African American Chicago School of Race Relations ABS Association of Black Sociologists ACS American Colonization Society AJS American Journal of Sociology ASA American Sociological Association ASR American Sociological Review BSF Black Sociological Frame CAACP Chicago Association for Advancement of Colored People CC Carnegie Corporation CSHR Case-Specific Human Rights CSRR Chicago School of Race Relations CSS Chicago School of Sociology CUL Chicago Urban League ECS Early Chicago School ECSRR Early Chicago School of Race Relations FGBS First Generation Black Sociologists FWBS First Wave Black Sociologists FWWS First Wave White Sociologists HBCU Historically Black Colleges and Universities ix HH Hull House HHSRR Hull House School of Race Relations HRAB Human Rights of All Blacks HRBA Human Rights of Black Americans HRCP Human Rights of Colored People NAACP National Association for Advancement of Colored People NUL National Urban League PCS Park Chicago School PCSRR Parkean Chicago School of Race Relations RHR Race-Specific Human Rights SGBS Second Generation Black Sociologists SWBS Second Wave Black Sociologists SWWS Second Wave White Sociologists UDHR Universal Declaration of Human Rights UHR Universal Human Rights UN United Nations UNIC Universal Negro Improvement Center WRF White Racial Frame WSF White Sociological Frame x TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ABSTRACT .............................................................................................................. iii DEDICATION .......................................................................................................... v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ...................................................................................... vi NOMENCLATURE .................................................................................................. viii TABLE OF CONTENTS .......................................................................................... x CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION: THE SOCIOLOGICAL COLOR LINE ............... 1 Concepts, Theories and Methods…………………………………. 3 Overview of Chapters…………………………………………….. 21 II BLACK SOCIOLOGISTS: HISTORIES AND BIOGRAPHIES, PERCEPTIONS AND PRACTICES ................................................... 27 The Black Sociologists: The First Half Century (1971), John Bracey,August Meier and Elliott Rudwick (eds.)…………………. 28 Black Sociologists: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives (1974), James Blackwell and Morris Janowitz (eds.)……………... 35 Confronting the American Dilemma of Race: The Second Generation Black American Sociologists (2002), Robert Washington and Donald Cunnigen (eds.)………………………….. 52 Conclusion…………………………………………………………. 73 III THE DEATH OF WHITE SOCIOLOGY AND INTRODUCTION TO BLACK SOCIOLOGY … ............................................................. 75 The Death of White Sociology (1973), Joyce A.

Goldsmith Department of History Duke University Date:_______________________ Approved: ___________________________ Nancy MacLean, Supervisor ___________________________ Edward J. Balleisen ___________________________ Adriane Lentz-Smith ___________________________ Gary Gereffi ___________________________ Helen Ladd An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of Duke University 2018 Copyright by William D. Goldsmith 2018 Abstract This dissertation shows how an array of policymakers, invested in uprooting an unequal political economy descended from the plantation system and Jim Crow, gravitated to education as a centerpiece of development strategy, and why so many are still disappointed in its outcomes. By looking at state-wide policymaking in North Carolina and policy effects in the state’s black belt counties, this study shows why the civil rights movement was vital for shifting state policy in former Jim Crow states towards greater investment in human resources. By breaking down employment barriers to African Americans and opening up the South to new people and ideas, the civil rights movement fostered a new climate for economic policymaking, and a new ecosystem of organizations flourished to promote equitable growth.

  • The Strength of Black Families: the Elusive Ties of Perspective and Praxis in Social Work Education
    The Strength of Black Families The Strength of Black Families: The Elusive Ties of Perspective and Praxis in Social Work Education Tanya Smith Brice & Denise McLane-Davison “These are times when our most prolific commodity is language, and language has a great deal to do with alienation and legitimacy.“ - Chicago Catalysts: Declare War on White Racism, 1968 “We must go a step further. If it is clear that the practice of social work by blacks for blacks must operate from a new theory, then this theory of liberation must be fully and unquestionably developed to its fullest by those blacks. This new social theory must not be arrived at by outside sources who would distort the true meaning of liberation.” - LeVerne McCummings, Chairman Philadelphia Alliance of Black Social Workers, 1969 The strengths perspective, although briefly commented on by E. Franklin Frazier’s (1939) early research describing the Negro family, becomes intrinsically tied to the cultural scholarship produced thereafter which pointed to the impact of structural oppression on the Black family. The political era of the Civil Rights, Women’s Rights, and The Black Power Movement demanded the inclusion of rigorous research that centered racial and gender identity as significant narratives for inclusion in curric- ulum (Collins, 1998; Solomon 1976, Chunn, 1975). The emergence of Black Studies and Women’s Studies, along with student-led and national organizations incorporat- ing the same identity politics, also became familiar parts of the intellectual land- 25 Rooted in Strengths: Celebrating the Strengths Perspective in Social Work scape. Billingsley (1968), Hill (1972), Nobles (1974) and Solomon (1976) emerged as prominent scholars who disrupted the common rhetoric of the pathologized Black family through their emphasis on connecting African cultural values, traditions, and generational behaviors as strengths.

Developed in the 1920’s by Ernest Burgess and Robert Park, University of Chicago . Hypothesis of this theory is that cities grow and develop outwardly in concentric zones. Sought to explain the socioeconomic divides in and out of the city . Model was based on Chicago’s city layout . First theory to explain the distribution of social groups CONCENTRIC ZONE THEORY….? • Social structures extend outward from one central business area. • Population density decreases towards outward zones • Shows correlation between socioeconomic status and the distance from the central business district • Also known as the Burgess Model, the Bull’s Eye Model, the Concentric Ring Model, or the Concentric Circles Model. Concentric Zone Model ZONE 1: CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT(CBD) • Non-residential center for business. • “Downtown” area • Emphasis on business and commerce • Commuted to by residents of other zones Commercial centre . First, the inner most ring zone or nucleolus of the city is a commercial centre also called Central Business District (CBD) in North America and western countries. This zone is characterized by high intensity of commercial, social and civic amenities. It is the heart of the city which includes department stores, office buildings, shops, banks, clubs, hotels, theatres and many other civic buildings. Being the centre of commercial activities and location, it is accessible from all directions and attracts a large number of people.

INTRODUCTION The U.S. Supreme Court's 1896 decision in Plessy v. Ferguson' has long stood as an ignominious marker in U.S. law, symbolizing the nation's highest legal sanction for the physical separation by race of persons in the United States. In ruling against thirty-four-year-old New Orleans shoemaker Homer Adolph Plessy's challenge to Louisiana's Separate Railway Act of 1890,2 the Court majority declared that we think the enforced separation of the races, as applied to the internal commerce of the state, neither abridges the privileges or immunities of the colored man, deprives him of his property without due process of law, nor denies him the equal protection of the laws, within the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment.3 One commentator on the Court's treatment of African-American civil rights cast the Plessy decision as "the climactic Supreme Court pronouncement on segregated institutions."4 Historian C.

    Funk the Clock: Transgressing Time While Young, Prescient and Black A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Rahsaan Mahadeo IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Advisers: David Pellow and Joyce Bell August 2019 © 2019 Rahsaan Mahadeo Acknowledgements Pursuing a PhD has at times felt like the most selfish endeavor I have ever undertaken. For I knew that every book I read and every paper I wrote was largely for personal gain. Not coming from academic lineage or economic privilege, I could not escape the profound sense of guilt of leaving so many behind in the everyday struggle to live, labor and learn in a school that is less of a land-grant institution and more of a land-grab institution; an educational system that is more private than public; a corporation that presents students with more educational opportunists than educational opportunities; a sea of scholarship that looks more like colonizer ships; and a tower that is as anti ebony as it is ivory. Most know it as the “U of M,” when it is really the U of empire. Here, I would like to take the opportunity to counter the university’s individualistic and neoliberal logic to thank several people who have helped me cope with the challenges of living, learning and laboring in a space designed without me (and many others) in mind. Thank you to my advisers David Pellow and Joyce Bell for supporting me along my graduate school journey. Though illegible to the university, I recognize and appreciate the inordinate amount of labor you perform inside and outside the classroom.
