What is ours to do?” Connection during a pandemic’s time of shelter-in-place
This paper describes a 2020 effort by the Cities Research Group of the University of Orange, United States, to create and pilot educational materials that could help organizations participate in collective recovery from the converging crises of the Covid-19 pandemic, racial oppression and climate change. Because of “shelter-in-place” strategies for reducing pandemic spread, the city as a site of human activity was fundamentally altered, undermini…

Place Matters, and So Does Race
Concerning the central thesis of Place Matters, I support the idea of regional equity and their analysis that place matters for people’s differing life prospects. However, to paraphrase Cornell West, I think “race matters” more than geography. It helps us understand why people of color, especially Blacks, are in places that became bad, and it is also why it is difficult to move Black people out of these places. Has the United States changed so mu…

Jedi public health: Co-creating an identity-safe culture to promote health equity
The extent to which socially-assigned and culturally mediated social identity affects health depends on contingencies of social identity that vary across and within populations in day-to-day life. These contingencies are structurally rooted and health damaging inasmuch as they activate physiological stress responses. They also have adverse effects on cognition and emotion, undermining self-confidence and diminishing academic performance. This imp…

Seeking Effective Power: Why Mayors Need Community Organizations
To many, mayors are the most familiar elected officials. Unlike federal representatives, mayors often directly coordinate community services like trash removal, policing, and in some cases oversight of public schools. Despite the seeming transparency of mayoral duties, bottom-line judgments about mayors' performance are political, and, unlike profit margins in business, essentially aesthetic. The public does not evaluate mayoral performance in ac…

To Denigrate, Ignore, or Disrupt: Racial Inequality in Health and the Impact of a Policy-induced Breakdown of African American Communities
In this article we seek to show that prevailing ideological viewpoints on Black health misinterpret Black behavior, and that dominant racial ideologies themselves have negative health effects on African American communities. Second, we show that public policies and practices reflecting prevailing ideological viewpoints harm African American communities. Together, these ideologies and policies undermine Black health by adversely impacting the immu…
Social Capital and Poor Communities (Ford Foundation Series on Asset Building)
The Texas Ten Percent Plan
In this article, the authors discuss the formulation, provisions, and initial impact of the Texas Ten Percent Plan, which is often contrasted to affirmative action as a mechanism for achieving diversity on college campuses. They argue that although no evidence suggests that the plan will be as successful as affirmative action, it could potentially increase the proportion of minority and low-income students admitted to Texas public universities. T…
Universalism and Deconcentration: Why Race Still Matters in Poverty and Economic Development
The Failure of Liberal Homeless Policy in the Koch and Dinkins Administration
Social welfare policy has been critiqued from three distinct-though not mutually exclusive-perspectives. One critique, most prominently argued by Theodore Lowi, maintains that the major flaw in social welfare programs is that they are produced (or expanded) undemocratically-through the courts and by bureaucratic discretion. I Without increased public support for the welfare state, Lowi predicts that the liberal welfare state will destroy itself. …

Black Faces, Black Interests: The Representation of African Americans in Congress, by Carol M. Swain
How does congress represent the interests of American Americans? Must blacks be represented by blacks to be properly heard? How do members of Congress respond to the needs of blacks in their districts, and what do congressional voting records reveal? In this incisive book Carol Swain examines the problems of representing the interests of African Americans by studying the constituency relations and roll-call voting of black members of congress fro…
