    D. SHARPLEY 1 /133 Black Discourses in North Carolina, 1890-1902: How North Carolina’s Black Politicians and Press Narrated and Influenced the Tumultuous Era of Fusion Politics By Dannette Sharpley A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Honors Department of History, Duke University Under the advisement of Dr. Nancy MacLean April 13, 2018 D. SHARPLEY 2 /133 Acknowledgements I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to write an Honors Thesis in the History Department. When I returned to school after many years of separation, I was prepared for challenging work. I expected to be pushed intellectually and emotionally. I expected to struggle through all-nighters, moments of self-doubt, and even academic setbacks. I did not, however, imagine that I could feel so passionate or excited about what I learned in class. I didn’t expect to even undertake such a large project, let alone arrive at the finish line. And I didn’t imagine the sense of accomplishment at having completed something that I feel is meaningful beyond my own individual education. The process of writing this thesis has been all those things and more. I would first like to thank everyone at the History Department who supports this Honors Distinction program, because this amazing process would not be possible without your work. Thank you very much to Dr. Nancy MacLean for advising me on this project. It was in Professor MacLean’s History of Modern Social Movements class that I became obsessed with North Carolina’s role in the Populist movement of the nineteenth, thus beginning this journey.

  • Frame Resonance, Political Ideology, and the Immigrant Rights Movement
    Rights, Economics, or Family? 1647 Rights, Economics, or Family? Rights, Economics, or Family? Frame Resonance, Political Ideology, and the Immigrant Rights Movement Irene Bloemraad, Fabiana Silva, and Kim Voss , University of California, Berkeley Downloaded from lthough social movement scholars in the United States have long ignored activ- ism over immigration, this movement raises important theoretical and empirical Aquestions, especially given many immigrants’ lack of citizenship. Is the rights “master” frame, used extensively by other US social movements, persuasive in making http://sf.oxfordjournals.org/ claims for noncitizens? If not, which other movement frames resonate with the public? We leverage survey experiments—largely the domain of political scientists and public opinion researchers—to examine how much human/citizenship rights, economics, and family framing contests shape Californians’ views about legalization and immigrants’ access to public benefits. We pay particular attention to how potentially distinct “pub- lics,” or subgroups, react, finding significant differences in frame resonance between groups distinguished by political ideology. However, alternative framings resonate with—at best—one political subgroup and, dauntingly, frames that resonate with one at Univ of California Library on May 20, 2016 group sometimes alienate others. While activists and political theorists may hope that human rights appeals can expand American notions of membership, such a frame does not help the movement build support for legalization. Instead, the most expansive change in legalization attitudes occurs when framed as about family unity, but this holds only among self-reported conservatives. These findings underscore the challenges confronting the immigrant movement and the need to reevaluate the assumption that historically progressive rights language is effective for immigrant claims-making.

  • ABSTRACT BARR, KRISPIN WAGONER. the Historical Legacy of a Secret Society at Duke University
    ABSTRACT BARR, KRISPIN WAGONER. The Historical Legacy of a Secret Society at Duke University (1913-1971): Cultural Hegemony and the Tenacious Ideals of the “Big Man on Campus.” (Under the direction of Dr. Audrey Jaeger). Collegiate secret societies, as distinguished from Greek-letter fraternal organizations, enjoyed prominence within many American campus communities from the early nineteenth century through the mid-twentieth century (Baird, 1879; Hitchcock, 1863; Slosson, 1910; Veysey, 1965). The establishment of these elite groups preceded the maturation of university administrative structures responsible for managing students’ extracurricular life, as well as the mass democratization of American higher education which occurred after World War II (Rudolph, 1990; Cohen, 2010). The presence of prestigious secret societies is documented and celebrated in college yearbooks and newspapers, reflecting a period in higher education’s past when the hegemony of the white, male prevailed in student culture and fostered the composite ideal of the “Big Man on Campus” (“B.M.O.C.”) – the handsome varsity athlete, fraternity man, and club president destined for success in American public life. Although collegiate secret societies “disappeared” on many campuses in the Civil Rights Era amidst accusations of elitism and reactions against established white, Anglo- Saxon Protestant norms, their legacy lingers into the twenty-first century, along with many unanswered questions about their historical role as a source of student power on campus. Their roots can be traced to the prestigious all-male boarding schools of the Northeastern United States in the late nineteenth century where patterns of upper-class masculine socialization developed. Due to a dearth of historical research on this topic, however, institutional leaders are challenged to understand the origins, purpose, and legacy of this type of student association that still holds meaning for students and other stakeholders in some campus communities.

Using three decades of extensive survey data, Jacobs and Page conduct a comparative test, attempting to account for the expressed foreign policy preferences of policymakers by means of the preferences of the general public and those of several distinct sets of elites. The results of cross-sectional and time-lagged analyses suggest that U.S. foreign policy is most heavily and consistently influenced by internationally oriented business leaders, followed by experts (who, however, might themselves be influenced by business). Labor appears to have significant but smaller impacts.

[email protected] [email protected] Corresponding address: Michael Storper Institut d’Etudes Politiques de Paris 5, place St. Thomas d’Aquin 75007 Paris, France Date of submission: May 1, 2004 Abstract Studies of economic development and economic history have long been concerned with the relationship between the transparent and supposedly anonymous forces of markets, states and bureaucracies, on the one hand, and the particular local and national forms of social organization in which actors' daily lives are embedded. For some, the latter forces are necessary underpinnings for the market, providing trust and social capital which in turn reduce transactions costs and moral hazards and hence promote development; for others, they are seen as archaic, leading to nepotism, rent-seeking and institutional rigidity. Indeed, throughout the social sciences, there is a tension between the roles assigned to what we might call the "societal" and the "communitarian" bases of social and economic development. Each position in this theoretical standoff underestimates the contributions of either society or community to economic development. This is because the interaction of society and community define critical incentives for actors in the process of economic development.

  • Sociology for the Glasnost Em Lhsth~Onalland Substantive Changes Ent Aviet Sociobogy+
    Sociology for the Glasnost Em lhsth~onalland Substantive Changes ent aviet soCioBogy+ D- N. SHAILIN,Southem Illinois University at Carbondale Abstract Gorbachezfs ascent to power created a new climate fir sociological research in the Soviet Union. For fhe jrst time, Soviet sociologistsfind themselves in a position where they not only can pursue critical inquiry but also significantly afict the nation's political agenda. Zk present situation is not without its dangers, however, as it confronts social scientists with the need to balance scholarship and advocacy, scientijic inquiry and political engagement. This article presents an overview of institutional, substantive, and methodological innovations in recent Soviet sociology. If examines the contribution that Soviet sociology has made to the refirm process and assesses its fiture impact on the course of perestroika. An argument is made that even though fur the time being Soviet sociologists and Party refbrmers act in concert, this alliance might come under strain if the pursuit ofpee inquiry interferes with fhe Communist Party's political agenda. Soviet sociology has had many ups and downs throughout its troubled history, its fortunes rising and falling with every new attempt to open up Soviet society. It sprang to life in the 1920s, during the NEP (New Economic Policy) era, which saw the pioneering efforts of Gastev, Kabo, Strumilin, and others bear impressive results in areas as diverse as labor-management relations, rural sociology, marriage and the family, prostitution, and suicide. These early successes proved short-lived. With the NEP liberalism waning, empirically oriented sociology in the Soviet Union came under attack from orthodox Marxists.
