America Again at the Crossroads
The Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution elevated blacks to full citizenship, and ushered in a period of biracial democracy in which blacks voted, held office, and, despite a general pattern of social segregation, enjoyed a modicum of civil equality. The Fair Employment Practices Commission that Roosevelt established during the war in order to forestall Randolph’s march on Washington was a feeble organization with …
Genome-wide association study identifies 48 common genetic variants associated with handedness
Handedness has been extensively studied because of its relationship with language and the over-representation of left-handers in some neurodevelopmental disorders. Using data from the UK Biobank, 23andMe and the International Handedness Consortium, we conducted a genome-wide association meta-analysis of handedness (N = 1,766,671). We found 41 loci associated (P < 5 × 10−8) with left-handedness and 7 associated with ambidexterity. Tissue-enrichmen…

The whiteness of race knowledge: Charles Mills throws down the gauntlet
With assiduous logic and political acumen, Charles Mills challenges the whiteness of race knowledge, with particular reference to philosophy and sociology. In different ways and against their professed intentions, generations of philosophers and sociologists have practised an "epistemology of ignorance" that obscures and elides white supremacy or actually confers it with legitimacy. Mills challenges scholars to cast off these obsolete and discred…

Two children of empire: Michael Banton and John Rex
This paper argues that both Michael Banton and John Rex were 'children of empire', albeit in starkly different ways, and that these differences were at the core of their querulous exchanges over their long careers. The larger issue, however, concerns the impact of colonialism on sociology, especially in its formative years, and conversely, the role of sociology in providing erudite justification for colonialism
The Myth of Ethnic Success
Since its inception, social science has spawned a succession of theories that purport to explain differential rates of ethnic mobility as a byproduct of the cultural values of the groups themselves. The fatal flaw of these theories is that they reify culture by failing to examine its anchorage in history and social structure, eliding the very factors that produce and reproduce these value systems. This chapter critiques two theoretical propositio…
The long view of the melting pot
Herbert Gans has cast his sociological eye on generational change among American ethnic groups for over six decades. This essay traces his intellectual trajectory in relation to the shifting contours of assimilation theory in American sociology. The implications for post-65 immigrants and for African Americans are also considered, concluding that the USA is evolving a dual melting pot, one for people of African descent, the other for everybody el…

Human Capital: A Critique
The human capital approach increasingly has been absorbed within the folds of cultural determinism. The trend has been so pronounced that it prompted the organization of a session at the December 1984 American Economic Association meetings in Dallas, Texas, entitled “Human Capital and Culture: Analyses of Variations in Labor Market Performance.” The papers from that session are available in the May 1985 issue of the American Economic Review.
