Race Relations
Ethnocentrism, as the sociologists conceive of it, is a social attitude which expresses a community of feeling in any group – the "we" feeling as over against the "others." Neither is social intolerance or racial antagonism, for social intolerance is social despleasure or resentment against that group which refuses to conform to the established practices and beliefs of the society. Probably a realization of no single fact is of such crucial signi…
Jewish country houses and country house studies
The Jewish country houses explored in this issue represent a group of properties spread across Europe that have hitherto escaped systematic research by country house studies. In thinking about what was distinctively Jewish about the country houses of the Jewish elite this issue consolidates three significant trends in country house studies – the house, collections and wider estate as a dynamic entity shaped by a range of historical processes; the…

Jewish Self-interest in 'Black Pluralism
From time immemorial Jewish tribal exclusiveness among dominant societal groups has resulted in various forms of conflict determined by the social situation. The critical force involved has been the group's peculiar resistance to social assimilation. Different social systems react differently to the persistence of this trait. The caste system of India, for example, would hardly notice it. But capitalist culture, which originated in the European m…
The Problem of Societal Transition
Outstanding sociologists, economists, and historians have been perennially concerned with the nature and rise of "modern society." The various societal dichotomies involving contrasts between simple and complex cultures evoke questions about societal evolution and transition. Durkheim seems to say that there is no general principle of societal transformation (and the "branching theory" of societal evolution apparently supports him). In this discu…

Continuities in Social Research
Race, a study in social dynamics
I welcome this new edition of Oliver Cromwell Cox's brilliant work. Published amid Cold War repression and postwar racist violence, and kept in print by Monthly Review Press since, it is as fresh and urgent as ever. It stands not only as one of the most incisive materialist analyses of race and racism but as a true classic in the sociology of race.--Robin D. G. Kelley, New York University First published in 1948, this pioneering work investigates…

Race and Caste
Social scientists have been relying upon the idea that race relations are like caste relations. A comparison between certain features of Brahmanic-Indian and Western society will show that caste relations are not race relations. Brahmanism and capitalism are two distinct forms of social organization, while castes and class exploitation, respectively, are inherent. Race relations can best be studies as a form of class exploitation; the assumption …
Sex Ratio and Marital Status Among Negroes
D IFFERENCES in the marital status of persons in different areas and communities may be due to differences in the ratio of marriageable men to women. Although in simple societies such institutions as polygyny and polyandry may have their roots in tribal sex disequilibrium,' the effect of the latter condition is hardly observed in our more complex organization. William F. Ogburn has shown, however, that in cities where the sexes are unequal in num…
The Racial Theories of Robert E. Park and Ruth Benedict
In this article we shall discuss the racial theories of two reputable scholars and present briefly our own point of view.-We shall not, of course, give any consideration to the views of the political biologists adopted by these authors. Trying to deal scientifically with these theories is exceedingly depressing, for almost invariably their apparent objectivity is only a mask for an ulterior purpose. We cannot combat race prejudice by proving that…
An American Dilemma
These two volumes, An American Dilemma' by Dr. Gunnar Myrdal are perhaps the culminating achievement of classical scholarship on the subject of race relations. They bring to finest expression practically all the vacuous theories of race relations which are acceptable among the liberal intelligentsia and which explain race relations away from the social and economic order. The theories do this in spite of the verbal desire of the author to integra…

Intrigues aiming at new post-war alliance are already underway, and the technical ground work for rapid recovery of the military potentiality has been laid. There is little ground for hoping that two unsuccessful wars will teach the losers their way of life is wrong. They can hardly be expected to regard their beliefs and…

Max Weber on Social Stratification
PERHAPS no writer on the general subject of class, status, and caste has been cited by American students with such finality as Max Weber. And yet, Weber's conclusions have seldom been quoted directly as illuminants in theoretical studies or as hypotheses in empirical research. It may be useful, therefore, to examine with some care the nature of the contributions of this author. At this time, moreover, such an analysis seems particularly opportune…
Lynching and the Status Quo
Quite frequently lynching has been thought of as a form of social control consisting in the taking of the life of one or more persons by a mob in retribution for some criminal outrage committed by the former. This method of unceremonial punishment is assumed to be common on the frontier where there is no constituted juridical machinery; and where, in the interest of social order, the group finds itself constrained . to act spontaneously. Furtherm…

The Programs of Negro Civil Rights Organizations
Both the Democratic and the Republican Party in their 1948 presidential campaign platforms promised the enactment into Federal law of practically all the civil rights which Negro and white advocates have demanded in their programs. In 1947 The Report of the President's Committee on Civil Rights was published and, in its recommendations, presented to the juridical machinery of the nation probably as effective a program for civil rights as has ever…
Class and Caste
Recently, writers on aspects of social stratification have been thinking of social status in terms of a continuum of societies. At one end are societies in which the status of the individual tends to remain fixed for life; at the other are societies in which the opportunity for advancement of status of the individual is recognized and even encouraged. In other words, at the one end are caste systems, at the other open class systems. In 1498 the P…
Provisions for Graduate Education Among Negroes, and the Prospects of a New System
PRESENT PROVISIONS Eight of the seventeen States2 maintaining separate schools for Negroes have provisions for graduate education of Negroes, and legislation for such provisions is pending in three others.3 At this time very much of the thinking on this subject is influenced by the principles enunciated in the Gaines versus Canada case. So far, however, the probable fruits of this historic decision are still developing. Yet, their potentialities …

Employment, Education, and Marriage of Young Negro Adults
If we define formal education as the process by which the culture of a group is transmitted from one generation to another, we should have a favorable point of view for a study of one problem of Negro marriage. It is a characteristic of Negro marriage in the United States that large percentages of the population in the early age groups are married. In 1930, 12.5 per cent of all Negro persons 15 to 19 years of age were married, as compared with on…

The Nature of the Anti-Asiatic Movement on the Pacific Coast
The United States has set the pattern of Oriental exclusion for such countries as Canada and Australia. On the Pacific Coast, and in California especially, a distinct and rather involved racial situation has developed; perhaps it may be thought of as the completion of a race-relations cycle. Here, because of the rapid cultural advancement of the Asiatic people, the natural history of race relations has been greatly expedited. Like all racial situ…

Modern Democracy and the Class Struggle
In present-day, Western civilization has become a war-cry&' war-cry of both the capitalists and the proletariat in their struggle for power.' In reality, however, democracy is on trial. Democracy is sol far advanced in the great capitalist nations that very few responsible advocates of the status quo will dare to challenge it directly. Ordinarily, it is attacked on its flanks by various ideological, deceptive devices.2 Probably Adolf Hitler in Me…
The Nature of Race Relations
In a recent article in Social Forces Professor M. F. Ashley Montagu has made a studied attempt define the nature of race relations.' Since Mr. Montagu has written very much on this subject2 and since this article brings into focus his major conclusions, there should be some value in an examination of their validity. Moreover, there should probably be an added justification for this critique because both the approach and the variety of explanation…

The New Crisis in Leadership Among Negroes
Since the coming of freedom in the United States, there have been certain tensions developing between different types of Negro leaders, which may well be termed crises. These crisis situations have been modified and determined by the general relationship of Negroes to the larger American society. Indeed, leadership among Negroes is peculiarly conditioned by the fact that Negroes are neither an autonomous people nor one conceivably destined to bec…
