Revolution by Law: The Federal Government and the Desegregation of Alabama Schools by Brian K. Landsberg
In 1966, more than a decade after the Supreme Court’s ruling in Brown v. Board of Education, Alabama’s public education system was still so thoroughly segregated that only 2.4 percent of its Black students attended formerly all-white schools. Four years later, the share of Black children in majority white schools had risen to 36.5 percent, a level of integration higher than that of almost every other state in the nation. Behind that dramatic tran…

The Color Line and the Assembly Line: Managing race in the Ford empire

Integrating fast and slow processes is essential for simulating human–freshwater interactions
Integrated modeling is a critical tool to evaluate the behavior of coupled human–freshwater systems. However, models that do not consider both fast and slow processes may not accurately reflect the feedbacks that define complex systems. We evaluated current coupled human–freshwater system modeling approaches in the literature with a focus on categorizing feedback loops as including economic and/or socio-cultural processes and identifying the simu…

Child of the Sit-Downs: The Revolutionary Life of Genora Dollinger
Carlton Jackson begins his biography of the labor activist Genora Dollinger with the most personal of comparisons. Dollinger, he says, was a lot like Jackson's coal miner father: a “frontline worker,” deeply devoted to her union and tireless in her pursuit of social justice, yet too pragmatic and hardheaded to “intellectualize or philosophize the interests and well-being of workers into some kind of esoteric oblivion” (pp. xi, xiii). It is hard t…
Why Is There No Social Democracy in America
There's something about the New Deal that invites generational revision. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, when liberalism still defined the parameters of public policy, historians celebrated the New Deal as the culmination of modern reform—the federal government's relentlessly pragmatic, strikingly successful response to the burdens of an industrial age. The fierce politics of the late 1960s shattered that interpretation. The New Deal was a ter…

With Friends Like These
In the perilous days before the invasion of Iraq, many of Tony Blair's supporters wondered why the prime minister was standing so steadfast in support of the Bush administration's drive to war. During his years in office, wrote the director of the highly sympathetic Foreign Policy Centre, Blair made himself into a champion of multilateralism and the international rule of law, principled stands that earned him global influence far greater than Bri…

Arc of Justice: A Saga of Race, Civil Rights, and Murder in the Jazz Age
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…

The Price of Peace: Vietnam, the Pound, and the Crisis of the American Empire
In February 1967, two years after the United States escalated the war in Vietnam, the possibility of peace suddenly seemed to flower. Since mid-1965, British Prime Minister Harold Wilson had been quietly working to break the impasse that prevented the governments of North Vietnam and the United States from going to the bargaining table. To that end, he had cultivated the leadership of the Soviet Union, whom he believed had the leverage to draw th…

The Treatment of Prisoners under International Law
The peace process in Northern Ireland
The paramilitaries' ceasefires of September-October 1994 in Northern Ireland have offered the best hope in the past twenty-five years of a resolution of the conflict. Such resolution, however, is by no means a foregone conclusion: as the authors of this article point out, it is just as possible to project a scenario in which the armed conflict resumes as one in which it is permanently doused. In this review of the peace process as it currently st…

The most distinctive feature of the European Convention on Human Rights is the optional procedure under Article 25, whereby an individual claiming to be a victim of a violation of one of the rights guaranteed by the Convention may present a complaint against his own (or another) government to the European Commission of Human Rights for investigation. Thus the individual is given direct access to an international tribunal and is recognized as havi…
