Download or read book Identity and Intolerance written by Norbert Finzsch and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-07-18 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world of increasingly heterogeneous societies, matters of identity politics and the links between collective identities and national, racial, or ethnic intolerance have assumed dramatic significance - and have stimulated an enormous body of research and literature which rarely transcends the limitations of a national perspective, however, and thus reproduces the limitations of its own topic. Comparative attempts are rare, if not altogether absent. Identity and Intolerance attempts to shift the focus toward comparison in order to show how German and American societies have historically confronted matters of national, racial, and ethnic inclusion and exclusion. This perspective sheds light on the specific links between the cultural construction of nationhood and otherness, the political modes of integration and exclusion, and the social conditions of tolerance and intolerance. The contributors also attempt to integrate the approaches offered by the history of ideas and ideologies, social history, and discourse theory.

Download or read book Mary Ann Shadd Cary written by Jane Rhodes and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2023-09-05 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mary Ann Shadd Cary was a courageous and outspoken nineteenth-century African American who used the press and public speaking to fight slavery and oppression in the United States and Canada. Part of the small free black elite who used their education and limited freedoms to fight for the end of slavery and racial oppression, Shadd Cary is best known as the first African American woman to publish and edit a newspaper in North America. But her importance does not stop there. She was an active participant in many of the social and political movements that influenced nineteenth century abolition, black emigration and nationalism, women's rights, and temperance. Mary Ann Shadd Cary: The Black Press and Protest in the Nineteenth Century explores her remarkable life and offers a window on the free black experience, emergent black nationalisms, African American gender ideologies, and the formation of a black public sphere. This new edition contains a new epilogue and new photographs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The only comprehensive bibliography on Reconstruction, this book provides the definitive guide to literature published from 1877 to 1998. In over 2,900 entries, the work covers a broad range of topics including politics, agriculture, labor, religion, education, race relations, law, family, gender studies, and local history. It encompasses the years of the Civil War through the conclusion of the 1876 election and the end of the federal government's official role in reforming the postwar South and protecting the rights of Black citizens. In detailed annotations, the book covers a range of literature from scholarly and popular studies to published memoirs, letters and documents, as well as reference sources and teaching tools. The issues of Reconstruction—civil rights, states' rights and federal-state relations, racism, nationalism, government aid to individuals—continue to be relevant today, and the literature on Reconstruction is large. This book provides a systematic and comprehensive bibliographic guide to that literature. It is organized by topics and geographical regions and states, thereby emphasizing the local diversity in the South. In addition to a variety of literature, it covers the relevant Supreme Court cases through 1883, provides full citations to federal acts and cases cited, and includes the texts of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments to the Constitution. The book will be useful to scholars and students researching a wide range of topics in Southern history, constitutional history, and national politics in post Civil War United States.

Download or read book District of Columbia more details needed on plans to integrate computer systems with the family court and use federal funds written by and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reviews of the District of Columbia's (the District) Child and Family Services Agency (CFSA) have identified significant problems in the child welfare system. Congress took steps to help address these problems through passage of the D.C. Family Court Act of 2001. This act reformed court practices and established procedures intended to improve interactions between the court and social service agencies in the District. The act also directed the Mayor to prepare a plan for integrating the computer systems of District agencies with those of the Family Court of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. The fiscal year 2002 D.C. Appropriations Act authorized $200,000 for the completion of a plan on integrating the computer systems and $500,000 for CFSA to use for social workers to implement family court reform. The Appropriations Act also required the Mayor to prepare a plan for the use of these funds and mandated that the plan be issued on July 5, 2002. Additionally, the Appropriations Act required us to analyze the Mayor's plan within 30 days after its issuance. Because the appropriated funds will not be available until after our report is issued, the District used its own funds for the completed activities.

Download or read book Alley Life in Washington written by James Borchert and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 1980-09-01 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forgotten today, established Black communities once existed in the alleyways of Washington, D.C., even in neighborhoods as familiar as Capitol Hill and Foggy Bottom. James Borchert's study delves into the lives and folkways of the largely alley dwellers and how their communities changed from before the Civil War, to the late 1890s era when almost 20,000 people lived in alley houses, to the effects of reform and gentrification in the mid-twentieth century.

Download or read book Washington during Civil War and Reconstruction written by Robert Harrison and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-08-15 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this provocative study, Robert Harrison provides new insight into grassroots reconstruction after the Civil War and into the lives of those most deeply affected, the newly emancipated African Americans. Harrison argues that the District of Columbia, far from being marginal to the Reconstruction story, was central to Republican efforts to reshape civil and political relations, with the capital a testing ground for Congressional policy makers. The study describes the ways in which federal agencies such as the Army and the Freedmen's Bureau attempted to assist Washington's freed population and shows how officials struggled to address the social problems resulting from large-scale African-American migration. It also sheds new light on the political processes that led to the abandonment of Reconstruction and the onset of black disfranchisement.

Auto-oriented, single-use suburbs have a hard time competing.
