Imagine a World: Pioneering Black Women Sociologists
A Companion to African American History
Tripping on the Color Line: Black-White Multiracial Families in a Racially Divided World
The Structural Components of Violence in Black Male-Female Relationships
An Afrocentric perspective provides a point of departure for the understanding of black male-female violence. American society is defined by and derived from core or dominant values, which have differentially impacted its diverse populations. The Lens Model presented in this discourse focuses on these values as being counterproductive for black male-female relationships. Capitalism, racism, sexism and the Judeo-Christian ethic comprise the four-p…
On Race and Culture: Beyond Afrocentrism, Eurocentrism to Cultural Democracy
The author contends that the struggle for cultural democracy in American education will be critical in determining the quality and the future of education and of America itself. Cultural democracy recognizes the human right of each ethnic / cultural group in a culturally diverse society to have equal access to life chances and sources of social power. Power means to have a “voice,” that is, to have the capacity to define oneself as an active part…
New Perspectives on Black Studies
The Kitchen's Filled - But Who Are the Cooks: What It Takes to Teach Black Studies
BLACK STUDIES, as an academic discipline and as a linkage between the university and the black community, has passed through a series of developmental stages. Initially there was the heady experience of black students and black professors winning their demand that the university recognize the need for a conscious study of the black experience within the context of an academic discipline with intended outreach from Black Studies to black people in…
Overview
African-American Women in the Economic Marketplace: A Continuing Struggle
Over a decade ago, the economic status of African-American women in America was explored (Aldridge, 1975). Today, a continuing issue facing the nation is the economic opportunities of women and minorities. While there is no denying that some progress has been made, the plight of African-American women remains a very real concern. Much of the data presented in this work was taken from massive data categorized as nonwhite. However, since African-Am…
Toward a New Role and Function of Black Studies in White and Historically Black Institutions
Delores P. Aldridge, Toward a New Role and Function of Black Studies in White and Historically Black Institutions, The Journal of Negro Education, Vol. 53, No. 3, An Assessment of Black Studies Programs in American Higher Education (Summer, 1984), pp. 359-367
The Afro-American Family: Assessment, Treatment, and Research Issues
Interracial Marriages: Empirical and Theoretical Considerations
Interracial marriages have garnered attention periodically since the turn of the century. However, sociopsychological research in the area of intermarriage continues to be scant in spite of increased contact between the races in the 1960s. Social scientists have maintained the study of intermarriage may provide a precise, quantitative measurement of crucial and related questions such as the process of assimilation, the degree of internal cohesion…
Litigation and Education of Blacks: A Look at the U.S. Supreme Court
The issue of segregation versus desegregation is strongly rooted in history as a continuing struggle for dominance of one over the other. The Supreme Court has played a very crucial role in dealing with the issue throughout the years, as evidenced in the historic Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) decision through Brown v. Board of Education (1954) to Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenberg Board of Education (1971) decisions.1The purpose of this paper is to trace…
Problems and Approaches to Black Adoptions
Some familiar phrases are Blacks don't adopt and Black children are unadoptable. This work attempts to show that the real problem is not with black children or potential black adoptive parents but with agencies in the field of adoptions. Social agencies have to devise new and different approaches for becoming more responsive to the needs of black children. Policies and practices of agencies have to be refocused combined with reorientation and tra…
The Changing Nature of Interracial Marriage in Georgia: A Research Note
Following the Leving versus Virginia decision of 1967 which declared statutes against interracial marriages unconstitutional in the United States, it might be surmised that there would be a rapid increase in intermarriage between white and nonwhites in states such as Georgia which had forbade such marriages. The purpose of this study, in presenting the statistical aspect of interracial marriage in the state of Georgia, is to note the rate of occu…
