Newark
Newark’s volatile past is infamous. The city has become synonymous with the Black Power movement and urban crisis. Its history reveals a vibrant and contentious political culture punctuated by traditional civic pride and an understudied tradition of protest in the black community. Newark charts this important city's place in the nation, from its founding in 1666 by a dissident Puritan as a refuge from intolerance, through the days of Jim Crow and…

Integrated Conflict Management Systems Pay Off with Lower Levels of Formal Grievances and Lower Turnover Rates
The authors analyze an eight-year, multi-source, longitudinal data set that followed a non-union health care system in the eastern United States as it implemented a major preventative conflict management initiative placing responsibility for conflict resolution directly in the hands of line managers and employees. The initiative was a system-wide implementation of conflict management interviews (CMIs) between employees and supervisors, designed t…

Peter B. Levy. The Great Uprising
Instead of considering a single urban disorder, Peter Levy conceives of 1960s race riots as an ongoing great uprising, to invoke the title of this deeply researched and clearly written study of three sites that have received less attention in the historiography of these race riots: Cambridge and Baltimore, in Maryland, and York, in Pennsylvania. The Great Uprising: Race Riots in Urban America during the 1960s offers a multipronged approach that p…
Lost in the U.S.A.
In the period between 1980s intersectional feminism and the Occupy and Black Lives Matter movements, the distinguished historian Deborah Gray White locates a broad mobilization for collective meaning and social identity in a series of marches on Washington. Covering the well-known Promise Keepers and Million Man March for atonement and also more obscure mobilizations, Lost in the U.S.A. shows how activists transformed one of the most powerful pro…
Mark Krasovic. The Newark Frontier
This study of 1960s community action begins not with grassroots activism, nor even with the powerful effects of the southern mobilizations against Jim Crow, but with the presidency of John F. Kennedy. Mark Krasovic examines debates in successive presidential administrations over how to respond to a “groundswell of support for the civil rights movement,” and yet local activists inspired by the “groundswell” remain surprisingly off-stage (30). It i…
Comment on David Roediger's seizing freedom
David Roediger's important new book, Seizing Freedom, invites us to reconsider the possibilities of social change inspired by ‘slave self-emancipation’. Employing the concept of ‘revolutionary times’, the book makes the case for inspirational activism catalyzing broad social reform.
"Not Straight, Not White"
This compelling book recounts the history of black gay men from the 1950s to the 1990s, tracing how the major movements of the times--from civil rights to black power to gay liberation to AIDS activism--helped shape the cultural stigmas that surrounded race and homosexuality. In locating the rise of black gay identities in historical context, Kevin Mumford explores how activists, performers, and writers rebutted negative stereotypes and refused s…
Prosperity, Sustainability and the Measurement of Wealth
Gross domestic product (GDP) and household income measures provide invaluable metrics of economic activity in an economy, but they tell us little about the sustainability of the economic trends. National wealth accounting can be utilised to determine the size of the underlying productive base, which provides insight into the sustainability of economic activities and indicates the potential for intergenerational well‐being. An empirical methodolog…
Who Benefits from a Minimum Wage Increase
The authors address the question of how a minimum wage increase affects the wages of low-wage workers relative to the wage the worker would have if there had been no minimum wage increase. The authors' method allows for the effect to depend not only on the initial wage of the worker but also nonlinearly on the size of the minimum wage increase. Results indicate that low-wage workers who experience a small increase in the minimum wage tend to have…
Christina B. Hanhardt. Safe Space
The main thrust of the twentieth-century gay rights movement was to eliminate discrimination and promote acceptance through legislation and collective visibility. Christina B. Hanhardt’s inventive, prize-winning book, Safe Space: Gay Neighborhood History and the Politics of Violence, documents the understudied efforts by a range of groups to stop violence in gay neighborhoods. In the 1960s, the War on Poverty inspired gay activists to identify wi…
Do Family Wealth Shocks Affect Fertility Choices? Evidence from the Housing Market
This paper uses wealth changes driven by housing market variation to estimate the effect of family resources on fertility decisions. Using data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, we show that a $100,000 increase in housing wealth among home owners causes a 16% to 18% increase in the probability of having a child. There is no evidence of an effect of MSA-level housing price growth on the fertility of renters, however. We also present evidenc…
Sustainability and the measurement of wealth
We develop and apply a consistent and comprehensive theoretical framework for assessing whether economic growth is compatible with sustaining wellbeing over time. Our approach differs from earlier approaches by concentrating on wealth rather than income. Sustainability is demonstrated by showing that a properly defined comprehensive measure of wealth is maintained through time. Our wealth measure is unusually comprehensive, capturing not only rep…

Arc of Justice
An electrifying story of the sensational murder trial that divided a city and ignited the civil rights struggle In 1925, Detroit was a smoky swirl of jazz and speakeasies, assembly lines and fistfights. The advent of automobiles had brought workers from around the globe to compete for manufacturing jobs, and tensions often flared with the KKK in ascendance and violence rising. Ossian Sweet, a proud Negro doctor-grandson of a slave-had made the lo…

Men's Texts and Race
Interzones
At the height of the Great Migration and the Progressive era, interracial sex districts began to appear in the urban American landscape. Interzones weaves the growth of cities and the development of commercialized leisure into an account of how the sexual color line was drawn - and how it was crossed. From black female prostitution to homosexual couples, from taxi dance halls to speakeasies, Kevin J. Mumford reconstructs the mixed-race underworld…

Indeed, the novel’s central character, June Westbro…
