Não existem rebeldes negros”
O artigo aborda a lealdade dos escravos à União durante a Guerra Civil Americana, indo além de duas afirmações habituais, tanto “Lincoln libertou os escravos”, quanto “Os escravos se libertaram”. Ao fazê-lo, sonda como a abolição da escravatura foi obtida pela interação de dois atores poderosos, o Partido Republicano e seu líder, o presidente dos EUA, e os próprios escravos, que se afirmaram livres ao migrar para as linhas do Norte. Dialogando co…
Aera Presidential Address
AERA’s centennial provides an opportunity to reinvigorate the aspirations that gave rise to our research community in the United States: hope and determination that research can strengthen public education, society’s most democratic institution. The first AERAers sought to produce scientific knowledge to improve large, increasingly diverse urban school systems—a pursuit that continues today. Yet over the century, we’ve learned that achieving equi…
Capitalism and Slavery and the Civil War
They push in different directions, these two great debates. The first, on the relationship between capitalism and slavery, invites us to consider how closely the two systems were connected, to the point where more and more scholars argue that slavery itself was a form of capitalism. The second, on the origins of the American Civil War, highlights the fundamental difference and growing divergence between the free labor system of the North and the …

Research for High-Quality Urban Teaching
Policy makers and school district administrators have responded to the current teacher shortage with a characteristic focus on the short run. Popular responses include Peace Corps-like recruitment strategies to persuade college graduates to teach for a year or two on alternative or emergency certification. To compensate for the shortcomings of an underprepared teaching staff, policy makers have adopted highly prescriptive, teacherproof curricula.…

School Reform, Politics, and Tracking
Slaves without Contexts
Detracking
Structural changes necessary in detracking efforts challenge not only the technical dimensions of schooling, but also the normative and political dimensions. We argue that detracking reform confronts fundamental issues of power, control, and legitimacy that are played out in ideological struggles over the meaning of knowledge, intelligence, ability, and merit. This article presents results from a three-year longitudinal case study of ten racially…
"What's Wrong with "Negative Liberty
course of the interview Marx clarified the platform of the International Society as it had been established at Gotha in 1875. The platform was a litany of liberal reforms: universal male suffrage in all elections, popular referenda on issues of war and peace, the abolition of a standing army matched by universal military duty, the abolition of all laws regulating the press and public assemblies, free legal counsel and jury trials, universal publi…
What's Wrong with “Negative Liberty”
On 5 January 1879, the Chicago Tribune published an interview with Karl Marx that had been conducted in London a few weeks earlier. In the course of the interview Marx clarified the platform of the International Society as it had been established at Gotha in 1875. The platform was a litany of liberal reforms: universal male suffrage in all elections, popular referenda on issues of war and peace, the abolition of a standing army matched by univers…

Bounding the Case within Its Context
This article presents the story of our research team's efforts to conduct a multisite case study of 10 racially mixed schools engaged in effort to reduce ability grouping or tracking. Although the politics of education research and our own theoretical frame work told us that detracking reform is strongly influenced by the politics and norms in the local school community, we were not sure how to study a school-level change while examining the broa…
Matchmaking
Over the past 20 years, research has expanded educators’ knowledge of the impact of high school tracking on students’ curriculum opportunities and outcomes. Researchers also know that students are unevenly distributed among tracks, with low-income and minority students more likely to be in low ability classes for the non-college-bound. At the same time, they still understand little about how schools actually match particular students to tracked c…
More Than Misapplied Technology
From Slavery to Agrarian Capitalism in the Cotton Plantation South
Reidy has produced one of the most thoughtful treatments to date of a critical moment in southern history, placing the social transformation of the South in the context of 'the age of capital' and the changes in the markets, ideologies, etc. of the Atlantic world system. Better than anyone perhaps, Reidy has elaborated both the large and small narratives of this development, connecting global forces with the initiatives and reactions of ordinary …

Can Tracking Research Inform Practice? Technical, Normative, and Political Considerations
The Ruling Race
This pathbreaking social history of the slaveholding South marks a turn in our understanding of antebellum America and the coming of the Civil War. Oakes's bracing analysis breaks the myth that slaveholders were a paternalistic aristocracy dedicated to the values of honor, race, and section. Instead they emerge as having much in common with their entrepreneurial counterparts in the North: they were committed to free-market commercialism and polit…

Classroom Social Relationships
In Schooling in Capitalist America (1976), Bowles and Gintis assert that relationships in schools reproduce consciousness of workers by fragmenting students into groups where different capabilities, attitudes and behaviors are rewarded. These institutional relations reinforce the self-concepts, aspirations and social class identifications of individuals to requirements of social division of labor. To explore this hypothesis discriminant analyses …

Limiting Opportunity
Revisionist educational historians have suggested that vocational education in secondary schools has been used primarily to segregate poor and minority students into occupational training programs to preserve the academic curriculum for white middle- and upper-class students. Using data collected about 25 secondary schools in the Study of Schooling sample, this study investigated whether a relationship existed between student race and ethnicity a…

From Republicanism to Liberalism
DISGUSTED BY THE VENALITY AND CORRUPTION HE FOUND PERVASIVE IN THE federal government, Congressman Abraham W. Venable of North Carolina rose to the floor of the House of Representatives in early 1852 and delivered a speech infused with ancient republican rhetoric. As he progressed, the congressman strayed further and further from his particular subject-government printing contracts-until he reached the underlying principles compelled his dismay. …
