Those Who Can Coach Can Teach
Building on the work of John Hattie, Richard Kent, and Tom Newkirk, a think tank collaborative in New York City's high schools works to raise the level of students’ close reading, argumentation, and agency across the curriculum by teaching students to analyze athletic competitions, to compose sports arguments, and to transfer and apply these skills to academic subjects. The study also investigates the kind of feedback and the kind of vision state…
Measuring neighborhood distress
The United States federal administration's recent Promise Neighborhood and Choice Neighborhood initiatives are part of increasing calls for place-based strategies in the delivery of education and human services in inner cities. Within this new policy context, measures of community-level inequality emerge as a key tool for identifying places which manifest relatively high levels of social and economic distress and where this condition places acute…
Tributes From Dr. Marable's Colleagues
Manning Marable played such a decisive role in shaping radical theories and practices of liberation in the latter twentieth and early twenty-first centuries that it is not easy to imagine our lives
The Empowerment Zone in Boston, Massachusetts 2000–2009
First adopted in 1993 at the federal level, the original purpose of Empowerment Zones was to encourage economic development strategies aimed at revitalizing distressed US urban neighborhoods. Such strategies across the country would include four broad goals: to generate economic opportunities for residents living in the empowerment zones; to create sustainable community development; to build broad participation among community-based partners; and…
Race, Neighborhoods, and the Misuse of Social Capital

Welfare Reform and “Welfare to Work” as Non-Sequitur
Welfare reform emerged as a public policy response to a presumed “dependency” on the part of impoverished individuals and families. This behavioral view of poor people is ensconced in the adoption of welfare reform nationally, and many states including Massachusetts, where “work-first” frenzy fed the political momentum for moving families off welfare as quickly as possible, regardless of the consequences for children and families. A study of the …
Urban Planning, Community Participation, and the Roxbury Master Plan in Boston
This article examines the role and impact of community participation in the development of the Roxbury Master Plan in Boston, Massachusetts. It describes how residents and activists utilized the Roxbury Master Plan as a tool to raise challenges to planning ideas perceived as detrimental to the neighborhood. Discussion of this master plan provides a laboratory for examining race and class relationships and tensions generated by proposals for econo…

Race and Politics
Immigration and Ethnicity
Race, Politics and Economic Development
In April 1992, the world witnessed a renewal in South-Central Los Angeles of the urban violence that had exploded there over a quarter of a century earlier. As in the Watts rebellion of 1965, the spark that ignited the firestorm was Black rage over police brutality. But in both eras the tinder was prepared by decades of social neglect and political disenfranchisement that have left the predominantly non-white urban poor trapped and virtually with…
The Need for a Third Party in U.S. Politics
This article is based on a presentation to the "Future Directions for American Politics and Public Policy" seminar at Harvard University, Kennedy School of Government, on May 6, 1993. The theme of the article is that a national third party is necessary in order to advance a social welfare agenda that would improve measurably the quality of urban life, and resolve the problem of race and racism in the United States. The author proposes that despit…

Puerto Rican Politics in Urban America
Race, Class, and Politics in the Black Community of Boston
We found that there are indeed some slight differences in the electoral behavior of black voters when we separate them into high and low socio-economic areal categories based on the level of median income. These slight differences include turnout rates for primary and general elections and voter registration rates. The higher the socioeconomic status of the black electorate in Boston, the higher the turnout and registration rates for that area te…
The Declining Significance of Race in America
Wilson’s statement that exploitation in America cannot rely solely on a racial explanation is correct. But the evidence which he presents to write, that race is not significant in job market discrimination, is not adequate. In addition to this, and perhaps more serious, is the conceptual weakness of his argument. His thesis may even be somewhat illogical in its attempt to separate class and race in present day American society. As Blalock has sta…
A Response to Ben Pitcher's “Obama and the Politics of Blackness
After summarizing major demographic and political developments engulfing the nation, this article uses two classic works by authors Gunnar Myrdal (1944) and Oliver C. Cox (1948) to propose a framework for assessing race and racism in U.S. society under the nation's first Black president. The article rejects discourse and debate about President Obama's degree of racial representativeness as useful in assessing the state of race and race relations …
