    After Slavery & Reconstruction: The Black Struggle in the U.S. for Freedom, Equality, and Self-Realization* —A Bibliography Patrick S. O’Donnell (2020) Jacob Lawrence, Library, 1966 Apologia— Several exceptions notwithstanding (e.g., some titles treating the Reconstruction Era), this bibliography begins, roughly, with the twentieth century. I have not attempted to comprehensively cover works of nonfiction or the arts generally but, once more, I have made— and this time, a fair number of—exceptions by way of providing a taste of the requisite material. So, apart from the constraints of most of my other bibliographies: books, in English, these particular constraints are intended to keep the bibliography to a fairly modest length (around one hundred pages). This compilation is far from exhaustive, although it endeavors to be representative of the available literature, whatever the influence of my idiosyncratic beliefs and 1 preferences. I trust the diligent researcher will find titles on particular topics or subject areas by browsing carefully through the list. I welcome notice of titles by way of remedying any deficiencies. Finally, I have a separate bibliography on slavery, although its scope is well beyond U.S. history. * Or, if you prefer, “self-fulfillment and human flourishing (eudaimonia).” I’m not here interested in the question of philosophical and psychological differences between these concepts (i.e., self- realization and eudaimonia) and the existing and possible conceptions thereof, but more simply and broadly in their indispensable significance in reference to human nature and the pivotal metaphysical and moral purposes they serve in our critical and evaluative exercises (e.g., and after Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum, in employing criteria derived from the notion of ‘human capabilities and functionings’) as part of our individual and collective historical quest for “the Good.” However, I might note that all of these concepts assume a capacity for self- determination.

Bower This exploratory and descriptive study illuminates the lives of African American female teachers who lived in the upper Ohio River Valley between 1875 and 1915. Existing current research depicts teachers in the South and urban North during this period. This study highlights teachers from northern, small to midsized cities in order to bring them into the historical record and direct attention to their contributions to education. The focus of this historical, intrinsic, embedded, single-case case study was on the social profile, educational opportunities, teaching experiences, and support networks of Pocahontas Simmons Peyton, Susie Simmons (Jones?), Bernadine Peyton Sherman, Mary Peyton Dyson, Anna Stevens Posey, and Elizabeth Jennie Adams Carter.

  • Jennie Carter and the Performance of African American Womanhood in Reconstruction-Era California Vanessa Attia
    “A Ladylike Employment”: Jennie Carter and the Performance of African American Womanhood in Reconstruction-era California Vanessa Attia College of Liberal Arts & Sciences, University of Florida This essay illustrates how Reconstruction-era journalist Jennie Carter borrowed the popular tropes of her eastern contemporaries and the cult of True Womanhood to legitimate her public voice as both an activist and a black woman. Conditions in the West allowed for her to break out of some of the more restrictive eastern traditions of black respectability, such as the reliance on rhetoric about light skin, desexualization, and overall rebuttals to plantation writing. Instead, Carter was able to extend her use of the respectability discourse to discuss temperance and to mobilize community activism around local politics. In other respects, Carter replicated the eastern tropes of black respectability that were most reliant on the cult of white True Womanhood—namely, the ideals of domesticity articulated in the figure of the maternalistic schoolmarm. INTRODUCTION black writer a chance to rise into the same academic discourse that more well-known figures like Frances Ellen On Independence Day in 1868, an African American Watkins Harper and Ida B.

  • Diversity at Sp2
    DIVERSITY AT SP2 “A central imperative for social work, policy, and practice is the fundamental need to think inclusively about the individuals, groups and communities these disciplines will affect most. The populations in need of effective social policy and practice are necessarily diverse and include vulnerable children, veterans experiencing homelessness, those who struggle with chronic conditions such as substance use and mental health disorders, and more. The School of Social Policy & Practice (SP2) is committed to innovating solutions to pressing social issues that serve all people, including immigrants, under- represented minorities, people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, people with disabilities, or others who have been discriminated against as the result of the oppressive power of a majority culture. We are resolute in our intention to educate students of social policy and practice to embrace diversity and intersectionality in all its dimensions, and to create cutting -edge scholarship that enables our field to more effectively promote social justice. In the pages that follow, we discuss how we incorporate and celebrate diversity at SP2 in our effort to be the most equitable and inclusive community we can be. Sara S. Bachman, Ph.D. Dean.” Revised February 2019 D i v e r s i t y a t S P 2 P a g e | 2 Throughout its history, the School of Social Policy & Practice (SP2) at the University of Pennsylvania has been committed to understanding and embracing diversity in its countless forms.

  • Hypothesis, However, Observing That Anthracite Fires Do Not Emit Sparks
    2009 BOOK REVIEWS 211 hypothesis, however, observing that anthracite fires do not emit sparks. Men worked in the flue without concern about sparks, and the yellow pine used in the shaft would not ignite easily. Charring from the fire was minimal in the lower shaft but substantial above the tunnel intersection. Pro–mine owner witnesses argued that an arsonist used an incendiary to ignite the shaft at the intersection, claiming that a spark-caused fire could not evolve from ignition to erupting blaze without being noticed. The official version of the inquest downplayed the arson evidence, but journalists printed the full arson testimony and opined strongly in its favor. Nonetheless, the arson hypothesis was slowly forgotten. What would be the motive for starting such a fire, and why would an inquest whitewash the disaster? The authors perceptively discuss the labor and social environment in which the tragedy occurred and provide possible scenarios for the arson theory. Four days prior to the disaster, and against the wishes of the WBA, Scranton-based Welsh miners returned to work at Avondale after ending a strike. Tensions between Welsh miners and Irish laborers had long been a problem. Most of the Irish workers were away from the mine attending a funeral on September 6. Consequently, the authors suggest that it is possible that a dis- gruntled striker took revenge upon the strike-breaking miners. The authors are careful not to blame the Irish directly , but they imply that the inquest settled on the accident theory partly to avoid the ethnic conflict that an arson verdict might provoke.

It is through the efforts in your respective communities that we fulfill our mission to “Promote peace through mutual respect, understanding, and cooperation – one individual, one community at a time.” We began 2013 with a huge event – the very first Sister Cities International Inaugural Gala!
