Cardiff
When most people think of a ghost town, they probably think of an abandoned goldmining town in the American West. Once the gold mine is exhausted, miners and the rest of the town's inhabitants leave and the abandoned buildings are a ghostly reminder of a formerly thriving community. Journalist and historian Jim Ridings, in Cardiff: Illinois's Lost Mining Town, documents a vanished town in Illinois that has left little in terms of structures, thou…
All-American Rebels
Writing the history of the American Left in the twentieth century is no easy task. The Left in this country has always been a fractured movement filled with competing ideas, values, and visions of a society that could meet the needs and desires of all of its people. Robert C. Cottrell follows in the footsteps of other scholars and writers who research and write this history, such as The Rise and Fall of the American Left by John Patrick Diggins o…

Gray Gold
The Illinois Country continues to be a region of North America rich in history, both during the colonial period and as a western frontier of a young United States. Mark Milton Chambers adds to that history with Gray Gold: Lead Mining and Its Impact on the Natural and Cultural Environment, 1700–1840. His fascinating study builds upon the innovative scholarship of a number of historians in recent years, such as John Reda's From Furs to Farms: The T…
The Red Thread
Jacob A. Zumoff offers in The Red Thread a thorough examination of a strike that took on national importance. His study is the first to place the 1926 Passaic, New Jersey, strike into a larger historical context. Although, as Zumoff notes, the strike was not the most significant of the period, it demonstrates clearly the serious issues workers faced during the decade. These workers and the millions like them in mass production industries were not…
Microlevel Advocacy
Advocacy is an essential element to mental health practitioners’ professional identity. Some scholars contend that many couple and family therapists lack the skill set needed to effectively advocate. However, these researchers often discuss advocacy solely on the macrolevel, which makes advocacy appear unidimensional and may feel out of reach for many practitioners. In this article, we argue that advocacy is not unidimensional, but consists of tw…

Unruly Equality
Most historical scholarship on American anarchism has confined itself to the period from the 1880s to the 1920s. Andrew Cornell's Unruly Equality refers to this phase as classical anarchism. With the recent upsurge in anarchist activity, Cornell has sought to examine the historical foundation of contemporary anarchism and has found most scholarship lacking in connecting classical anarchism to the anarchists of today. To link the present to the he…

Mutual Benefits
The machinery of income support can have considerable influence in people's lives, creating opportunities for social work but also tensions: access to vulnerable people, but not always on their terms. This paper argues that the challenge to social work is about more than holding on to professional discretion. It considers how social workers can influence service delivery approaches to work more relationally, pursuing a more equal involvement of c…

The purpose of this article is to extend the empirical literature on Chicano return migration by examining earnings differentials between return and onward Chicano migrants. Our approach reflects the complexity of estimating such effects in terms of selectivity biases and the interaction between individual and locational attributes. We use data derived from the public use microdata sample (PUMS) of the 1990 U.S. census. After controlling for migr…

Admissions from surgical waiting lists
Many factors tend to reduce the efficiency of bed utilization in general hospitals. A numerically small, but clinically well-recognized, cause of wastage arises from the failure of waiting list patients to attend for admission when offered beds. The relative severity of the problem varies between clinical specialties, according to the proportions of total admissions accounted for by waiting list patients. In general medicine, such wastage is smal…
