An African American Dilemma: A History of School Integration and Civil Rights in the North. By Zoë Burkholder

Tobin Miller Shearer. Two Weeks Every Summer: Fresh Air Children and the Problem of Race in America
Tobin Miller Shearer has given us an important monograph that, in under two hundred pages of text, makes important contributions to knowledge across a number of areas. The practitioner of environmental history should welcome Shearer’s insights on how ideas about health, nature, wellness, lawn care, and the rise of backyard pools and private swimming clubs tell us about how the “silent covenants” identified by Derrick Bell continue to rigidly segr…
Charleston in Black and White: Race and Power in the South after the Civil Rights Movement
For historians of the United States, especially those drawn to examining its political and social mechanics in practical daily operation over time, South Carolina has provided an indispensable laboratory. Nearly fifty years ago, Peter H. Wood brilliantly resurrected the Stono Rebellion of 1739 as an event of absolute centrality in a continuing struggle with deep resonances and consequences for the nation (Peter H. Wood, Black Majority, 1974). For…

Kenneth B. Clark in the patterns of American culture
Kenneth B. Clark is most well-remembered as the social scientist cited by the U.S. Supreme Court in footnote 11 of its decision in Brown v. Board of Education in 1954. His presence in that decision came to symbolize the role that social science could play in changing social policy and public attitudes. As an African American social scientist who was prominent during a time of great turmoil over racial issues in the United States, Clark also becam…
