The Trickle-Up Economy
Black Urban Regime
In 2013 black urban regimes, defined as black‐led city governments in the United States with a majority black electoral base, governed twenty‐four cities with populations over a hundred thousand. In such regimes the electoral base is composed of low‐ and moderate‐income black voters, while most of the benefits of its development model accrue to the regime's corporate governing partners. The central focus of studies informed by black urban regime …
Driven from New Orleans
Bringing in the Black Working Class
A major paradox in U. S. sociology has been the relative dearth of studies in recent years on the black working class, despite the historic importance of this class in African American and U. S. historical development. Central to this anomaly have been "underclass"-informed studies that have artificially defined the black poor, especially black women, as distinct from the working class, and the elite-focused, new urban politics literature that ha…
Driven from New Orleans
In the early 1980s the tenant leaders of New Orleans St. Thomas public housing development and their community activist allies were militant, uncompromising defenders of the city's public housing communities. They led sit-ins, spoke out at public hearings, and denounced attempts by developers to seize their homes and disperse their communities. Yet ten years later, the St. Thomas community leaders and their activist allies forged a partnership wi…
Black Urban Regime
Black urban regime refers to large, majority or near‐majority black cities in the United States governed by black mayors. The first examples of a black urban regime were Carl Stokes' and Richard Hatcher's election in Cleveland and Gary, respectively, in the late 1960s. The majority of black urban regimes arose in the 1970s and later. In the late 1980s, 13 US cities were defined as black urban regimes, while in 2001 the number had risen to 19 (Bos…
Race and Hegemony
A central locus of social scientific research throughout the past two decades has been the reorganization of capitalist control within various institutions and societies in the post-Fordist era. This study examines the process within the context of a majority Black city in the United States. Drawing on the theory of hegemony and the Black urban regime, the author examines the mix of consensual and authoritarian practices the regime employs to imp…
Postwar Stock Market Changes and Consumer Spending
N the postwar period, a great deal has been written about the behavior of the consumer and almost as much (at least in the popular press) on movements in the stock market. This paper presents some estimates of stock market gains and losses of the household sector in the postwar period, and it examines some statistical consumption functions which include the stock market changes as an exogenous variable. The over-all conclusions of this study are …
