How black people endured and thrived, how they created a universal culture that is uniquely American, how they helped write the story of this great nation, is one of the most stirring sagas of the modern era.

    City of Ambition: Franklin Roosevelt, Fiorello La Guardia, and the Making of New Deal New York Mason Williams Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 © 2012 Mason Williams All Rights Reserved Abstract City of Ambition: Franklin Roosevelt, Fiorello La Guardia, and the Making of New Deal New York Mason Williams This dissertation offers a new account of New York City’s politics and government in the 1930s and 1940s. Focusing on the development of the functions and capacities of the municipal state, it examines three sets of interrelated political changes: the triumph of “municipal reform” over the institutions and practices of the Tammany Hall political machine and its outer-borough counterparts; the incorporation of hundreds of thousands of new voters into the electorate and into urban political life more broadly; and the development of an ambitious and capacious public sector—what Joshua Freeman has recently described as a “social democratic polity.” It places these developments within the context of the national New Deal, showing how national officials, responding to the limitations of the American central state, utilized the planning and operational capacities of local governments to meet their own imperatives; and how national initiatives fed back into subnational politics, redrawing the bounds of what was possible in local government as well as altering the strength and orientation of local political organizations. The dissertation thus seeks not only to provide a more robust account of this crucial passage in the political history of America’s largest city, but also to shed new light on the history of the national New Deal—in particular, its relation to the urban social reform movements of the Progressive Era, the long-term effects of short-lived programs such as work relief and price control, and the roles of federalism and localism in New Deal statecraft.

  • James Barnor: ‘A Retrospective’
    Press Release 31 October 2019 Nubuke Foundation reopens on 23 November 2019 with photographic exhibition- James Barnor: ‘A Retrospective’ Nubuke Foundation is pleased to officially announce the reopening of its bespoke arts space and extended campus at its existing premises in East Legon, Accra, following two years of reconstruction. This is a milestone in the development of arts and cultural infrastructure in Ghana and West Africa. Designed by architects, Baerbel Mueller and Juergen Strohmayer, the space now comprises of 3 buildings with galleries, shops, meeting areas, a residency and studio space, library, visitors lounge and a mix of recreational areas. The highlight of the reopened space is the new naturally lit and airy two-tiered gallery with over 500sqm indoor and outdoor exhibition space, which connects to the indoors through majestic doorways, windows and vitrines with sweeping views across the city, luscious plantations and environs. Visitors can expect varied experiences through an exciting programme of exhibitions, performances, film screenings, talks and private events. In the past decade, Nubuke Foundation has quietly but boldly initiated many significant programmes to support the career of many young Ghanaian artists. This building project is a testament to our belief that Ghana has an incredible pool of talented creative people, and this space has been carefully and purposely recreated to spotlight them and their practice. Nubuke Foundation will continue to be ambitious, nurture and showcase the works of young Ghanaian artists whilst playing host to international exhibitions through our networks. Our focus will turn also to strengthening the capacity of our team so that we can continue to offer world class programming, inspire creatives, children and the community.

I sincerely thank my graduate student peers in the Department of History and Philosophy who listened to my ideas and critiqued my scholarship. I also received a treasure-trove of feedback and reassurance along the way from professors, including Mary Murphy, Janet Ore, and Mark Fiege. My committee— Catherine Dunlop, Amanda Hendrix-Komoto, and Robert Rydell—generously offered their time and invaluable assistance. Special thanks is reserved for my committee chair, Billy Smith, who has sacrificed innumerable hours editing my writing and helping me to refine my argument. I thank him for his steadfast mentorship and refreshing comedic presence. Archivists and librarians at the Rare Books and Manuscript Collection at Columbia University, the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, the Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center, and the Library of Congress offered access to their collections, without which my thesis would not be possible. I received financial support from several organizations, including the Charles Redd Center for an Off-Campus Graduate Student Award, the History and Philosophy Department at Montana State University for a research travel grant, and the College of Letters and Sciences at Montana State University for a research travel grant.
