Casino Women: Courage in Unexpected Places
Examines the female face of corporate gaming, including interviews with maids, cocktail waitresses, cooks, laundry workers, dealers, pit bosses, and vice presidents, and discussing in detail a world whose enormous profitability is dependent on the labor of women assigned stereotypically female occupations
Working Hard, Living Poor: Social Work and the Movement for Livable Wages
In 2001, social work researchers published Working Hard, Living Poor, a living wage study for Nevada and the opening salvo in a four-year coalition effort to raise the state's minimum wage. Social work faculty and students were active participants in that campaign; their contributions included wide distribution of the study, the development of an award-winning social welfare policy unit—Nickel and Dimed: On (not) Getting by in Northern Nevada; an…
Curiously Uninvolved: Social Work and Protest against the War in Vietnam
This article reviews four leading social work journals from 1965-1975 for content on the War in Vietnam and the social issues arising from it. It finds that social work's major journals carried nearly no articles, letters, editorials, or short subjects related to the war and concludes that the dominant discourse constructed in the journals excluded meaningful engagement with the war or protest against it

That Biting, Stinging Thing Which Ever Shadows Us: African-American Social Workers in France during World War I
During World War I, 85 African-American social service workers were sent to France as program directors for the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA). They took up their work in the context of soaring race consciousness as they and the African-American soldiers they served encountered "free France" on the one hand and the American command's determination to recreate Jim Crow on French soil on the other. The African-American YMCA "secretaries,"…
Almost a Partnership: African-Americans, Segregation, and the Young Men's Christian Association
On January 1, 1913, the Colored Men's Department of the Young Men's Christian Association gathered in Washington, D.C., at the Twelfth Street "Y". The six African American International Secretaries made a practice of coming together on this holiday, finding in the New Year a quiet time to talk among themselves. Dr. Jesse E. Moorland, the Department's senior secretary, was scheduled to give "Remarks," as usual, and the secretaries looked forward t…
