Racial Beliefs in America
It is, however, indicative of the moral situation in America at that time that the words “slave” and “slavery” were avoided. The social sciences in America, and particularly sociology, anthropology, and psychology, have gone through a conspicuous development, increasingly giving the preponderance to environment instead of to heredity. Cultural influences have set up the assumptions about the mind, the body, and the universe with which the reader …
Politics of Southern Equality: Law and Social Change in a Mississippi County
This path-breaking text deals with the effects of federal civil rights legislation on the behavior and attitudes of the inhabitants of a single county in Mississippi--Panola County. These effects are examined in the three civil rights areas of voting, education, and economic opportunities. By using this smaller example, Frederick M. Wirt's broader interest is to show how legislation can be used to effect social change on a large scale.The need to…
An American Dilemma: The Negro Problem and Modern Democracy
In this landmark effort to understand African American people in the New World, Gunnar Myrdal provides deep insight into the contradictions of American democracy as well as a study of a people within a people. The title of the book, 'An American Dilemma', refers to the moral contradiction of a nation torn between allegiance to its highest ideals and awareness of the base realities of racial discrimination. The touchstone of this classic is the ja…

Gunnar Myrdal on Population Policy in the Underdeveloped World
This text reproduces the 2nd part of Myrdals lecture on population published in THE CHALLENGE OF WORLD POVERTY in 1970. Myrdal stresses that the contributions which the developed countries can make to the implementation of birth-control programs in underdeveloped countries are relatively limited; in particular developed country governments should refrain from giving advice in population matters. Such advice is often rendered without a thorough kn…

Twenty Years of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe
Twenty years have passed since the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (ECE) met for its first stormy session in the spring of 1947. The beginning of the Commission and the first five years of its existence were strongly influenced by the increasing political tensions between what would become two blocs of countries, led by the United States on the one side, and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics on the other. How this East-West co…

How Scientific are the Social Sciences? 1
The social sciences are scientific in the sense that we seek true knowledge of man and his society. Why then does progress in the social sciences seem slow in comparison to the natural sciences? To some extent perhaps there is selective recruitment of the most gifted students away from the social sciences, but more crucial is the fact that the problems we deal with are more difficult to master; the social scientist can never get down to constants…
The place of values in social policy
Let me start this article on the valuation basis of social policy by a negative assertion contradicting the title. To stress the subjectivity of the valuation process, I deliberately use the word 'valuations' and avoid the term 'values' that is so popular in all social science - except in the combination 'value-premises' when certain valuations have been defined and made explicit for use in research
