The unfreedom of assisted suicide
Between the dream and the reality
The spectre of Japan
Race relations became the dominant paradigm by the time the official report on the 1919 Chicago riot, The Negro in Chicago, was published. It expressed a new appreciation of the danger to Whites of conflict based on colour. Before 1905 most observers assumed the inferiority of Blacks and saw race conflict as the fault of African Americans. But a new possibility arose when the fate of African Americans was linked to the rising power of Japan, occu…
David Scott FitzGerald and David Cook-Martín. Culling the Masses
This is an interesting and useful volume. Largely based on secondary sources (though with some original research), the book analyzes the immigration policies and issues not just of the United States but also of the other American nations. It is divided into chapters dealing with the history of racial restrictions and preferences and their dismantling. Whereas chapter 2 examines international events affecting racial restrictions and preferences in…
In the Shadow of the 1924 Immigration Act
Franklin Roosevelt often receives accolades for pushing the USA towards a more liberal stance on race and immigration, even if his administration remained aloof from civil rights or immigration reforms. This article questions that contention. Roosevelt, who presided over the period of the lowest immigration in the twentieth century, relied upon the break in immigration imposed by the 1924 Act (and the Depression) to consolidate a national culture…
Protesting Affirmative Action
Richard M. Nixon, that Machiavellian genius of division and dissent, appreciated better than most that to sit in the “sweet and reasonable middle” he had only to set his enemies against each other. Nixon did not invent affirmative action but saw its potential to sow divisions and blunt hostility to the establishment. He transformed it from a minor civil rights demand into a culture of compensatory justice. By quietly initiating government affirma…

The 1966 White House Conference on Civil Rights
Lyndon B. Johnson fails to mention the 1966 White House Conference on Civil Rights in his autobiography and the conference has been equally ignored by historians. Yet this conference, promised in Johnson's famous Howard University speech in 1965, was to be the high point of Johnson's already considerable efforts on civil rights. Underlying the confusion and rancour that characterized the conference held in June 1966 (but more especially the ‘plan…
