  • Absent, Repressive, and Criminalized States

    Open AccessThomas J Boerman, Isabel Aguilar Umaña et al.ARTICLELatin American Perspectives2025Cited by: 1References: 12

    Nearly a million people from El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala have been internally displaced in recent years, and hundreds of thousands more have fled to Mexico, the United States, Canada, and Europe. An extensive literature provides evidence that direct and structural violence are the principal drivers of this phenomenon. Largely unexamined is the way in which the governments of the region contribute to and in certain critical respects creat…

  • Smadditizin' with Charles W. Mills

    Richard Jones, Richard A Jones et al.ARTICLERadical Philosophy Review2022

    This is a memorial essay on how the life and work of Charles W. Mills influenced my development as a Black philosopher. Employing Mills’s use of the Jamaican creole term smadditizin’—meaning “becoming recognized as somebody in a world where, primarily because of race, it is denied”—I trace how Mills helped me become a human self myself. Inspired by using his books as texts in courses I taught, and working with him in the Radical Philosophy Associ…

  • The Politics of Black Fictive Space

    Richard Jones, Richard A Jones et al.ARTICLERadical Philosophy Review2009

    Historically, for Black writers, literary fiction has been a site for transforming the discursive disciplinary spaces of political oppression. From 19th century “slave narratives” to the 20th century, Black novelists have created an impressive literary counter-canon in advancing liberatory struggles. W.E.B. Du Bois argued that “all art is political.” Many Black writers have used fiction to create spaces for political and social freedom—from the e…

  • No alternative

    Richard Jones, Richard A JonesARTICLEConflict Security and Development2006Cited by: 1References: 4

    This article explores the relevance of the theories of poverty and development to the impoverished post-war setting of Rwanda. This establishes how our understanding of development applies to the reality of the current poverty reduction strategies such as those undertaken in Rwanda. The main argument is that poverty reduction in Rwanda is the most pressing challenge the country faces and that to reduce poverty in Rwanda is to reduce the possibili…

  • Race and Revisability

    Open AccessRichard A JonesARTICLEJournal of Black Studies2005

    This article investigates the changing definitions of race. In this article, the author asks the questions, (a) To what extent is race an ontological, linguistically lexical, or political category? (b) Howhave changing scientific (i.e., DNA and Human Genome Project) and political (i.e., changing definitions for purposes of the 2000 census) paradigms altered conceptions of race? and (c) Are open definitions (i.e., constantly revisable) the correct…

  • Attributing Value

    Sultan Barakat, Margaret Chard et al.ARTICLEThird World Quarterly2005References: 3

    External analysts are already trying to evaluate the impact of the reconstruction strategies of the occupying powers in Iraq. However, those with long experience in this field caution against a rush to judgement and emphasise that it will be the Iraqis themselves who will eventually make a value judgement on how the occupation has affected their nation. The paper seeks to define a possible approach to facilitating such an evaluation at the approp…

  • Affirmative Inaction? The Aftermath of Grutter and Gratz

    Richard Jones, Richard A Jones et al.ARTICLERadical Philosophy Review2004

    Admissions to upper-tier universities have become increasingly competitive. The erosion of gains made during the Civil Rights Era is evidenced by recent legal actions at the University of Michigan. In this paper I argue that affirmative action programs remain a necessary means for achieving social justice. Further, I argue that more than mere affirmative action, what is also required is Nancy Fraser's Transformative Action. To reach these conclus…

  • Heroes of the Nation? The Celebration of Scientists on the Postage Stamps of Great Britain, France and West Germany

    Open AccessRobert A Jones, Richard A JonesARTICLEJournal of Contemporary History2001Cited by: 4

    Despite their easy availability, postage stamps have received little attention as historical source material. One of the aims of this article is to demonstrate the utility of postage stamps for the study of the construction of national attitudes and cultures — in this instance, national attitudes to science and scientists. It has frequently been suggested that science has not been afforded the same level of respect in Britain that is usual in man…

  • The Treasury-Bill Futures Market

    Rodney L Jacobs, Robert A Jones et al.ARTICLEJournal of Political Economy1980

    A model of the Treasury-bill futures market of the risk-premium augmented expectations variety is developed and estimated for the period March 1976 to July 1978. For that period we conclude that (1) futures interest rates deviate significantly from the corresponding forward rates implicit in the spot-market yield curve; (2) the hypothesis that expectations about the level of and trend in interest rates are formed adaptively from past spot rates f…

    The purposes of the research were: (1) to elicit spontaneously mentioned values from a large and diverse sample of respondents, (2) to compare the spontaneously mentioned values with Rokeach's terminal and instrumental values, (3) to determine the ways in which both sets of values were perceived as varying on selected independently measured properties, and (4) to provide structural representations of both value systems. The spontaneously mentione…
