Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In contrast with much of urban sociology that has followed Black experience in large, diverse, urban, non-Southern cities like Chicago, New York and Los Angeles, this case study focuses on a small, progressive Midwestern city, Madison, Wisconsin and its surrounding county (Dane). It also attempts to offer a theoretical analysis of racism that reflects the gap between how it is practiced in this context and the classic Southern forms of white supremacy. It builds on prior research on Dane County that revealed highly racialized disparities in critical indicators of wellbeing, some of the largest of such differences in the nation. Explaining the paradox of finding such racialized poverty and marginalization where we might least expect it - in such an affluent, politically progressive place - is the core challenge for this study. Taking a historical approach, I examine the growth and development of the Black community in Madison during the twentieth century and into the first decade of the twenty-first, using Milwaukee as a comparison. I identify three ideologies that developed in Madison and Wisconsin more broadly: civic nationalism, Northern racial liberalism, and northern racism. In my first empirical chapter, I examine the timing of Black migration and how white residents of Wisconsin responded. I found that the civic nationalism that the state's government and its citizens had embraced and the immigrant diversity of early statehood gave way to an exclusive definition of Northern European Christians as deserving to be Americans. In Madison, Jews and Italians experienced institutionalized marginalization and discrimination alongside Black citizens. My second empirical chapter examines the racial tensions birthed from changing demography, focusing on the development of housing policy and the pursuit of Fair Housing as part of the civil rights struggle, emphasizing the differences in how this developed in Madison and Milwaukee. This chapter highlights the ways that whites used organizations and networks, law and policy, and their own mobility to create and police racial boundaries in neighborhoods and communities in order to maintain their preferred racial demography in the face of both white and Black migrations. The third empirical chapter continues the focus on white backlash against the growing Black population and the residential segregation it produced but considers how it was expressed in the organization of the state's education system. This chapter highlights how Chapter 220 and Open Enrollment policies came into existence through racial struggles and how both local- and state-level education policies maintain white access to schools that have few Black students at the expense of schools that serve larger numbers of Black students. The broader argument of the dissertation is that choice is a critical component of democratic citizenship according to civic nationalism, but Northern racial liberalism permits white citizens to monopolize choice for their benefit, at the expense of Black citizens. In Madison, specifically, and Wisconsin generally, policies and practices facilitate the exercise of white choice in service of preserving the racial order. Northern racism is a historically constructed denial of equal access to citizenship rights to Black residents and a core factor facilitating the production and maintenance of racial inequality in contemporary times.

Download or read book Negro Housing in Certain Virginia Cities written by Charles Louis Knight and published by . This book was released on 1927 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is intended to present a cross-section picture of the housing and living conditions among the Negroes in the three Virginia cities of Richmond, Lynchburg, and Charlottesville. The first of these cities is a large and rapidly growing industrial and manufacturing center with a population of nearly 200,000. The population consists almost entirely of native white people and Negroes, and the foreign-born element comprises less than three percent of the population. Both the white and the Negro elements are increasing steadily. Lynchburg is a manufacturing city of increasing importance. Its total population is increasing at a satisfactory rate but its Negro population is constantly diminishing. Charlottesville is a city of approximately 12,000 people. The University of Virginia is located here and is one of the chief sources of the town's prosperity. Since 1910 the total population of Charlottesville has almost doubled, but the Negro population has been practically stationary since the Civil War. -- Preface.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forty years since Dr. King called for the abolition of poverty, the annual national decline in poverty for black children is about a quarter of a percentage point per year. At this rate, it will take over a century to end poverty for black children. Black median household income in Dane is growing closer to that of the community as a whole, but only very gradually. If the trends from 1990-2005 continue, it will take 265 years for the gap to disappear. The State of Black Madison 2008: Before the Tipping Point presents an accurate picture of some of the significant challenges that African Americans face in the areas of employment, income, entrepreneurship, health, education, housing, criminal justice, and political influence in Madison and Dane County. The State of Black Madison Coalition, including African American leaders from the Urban League of Greater Madison, Asset Builders of America, The Charles Hamilton Houston Institute, 100 Black Men, The Madison Times, and Genesis Development Corporation, shares this portrait with the diverse communities of Greater Madison, Dane County, and State of Wisconsin and invite all people of goodwill to answer their call to action.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Andrew Kahrl's enraging national assessment of legal and financial dispossession proves that African Americans property owners have long been beset by racist practices, invisible obstacles, and hidden traps that leave them vulnerable to economic predation. Kahrl focuses specially on how property taxes have been used to swindle African Americans out of their land, with the cooperation of public officials and courts. These racist regimes fund and reinforce inequity, with blacks paying more in taxes than whites as they lose tremendous inheritable wealth to whites. There is something more fundamental than the "forty acres" of settlement lore: the taxes on them"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paucity of scholarly literature on World War II veteran readjustment might lead one to believe these nearly sixteen million men and women simply took off their uniforms after the War and reintegrated into society with ease. Mark D. Van Ells path-breaking work is the first serious analysis of the immense effort that was required to avoid the potential social decay so often associated with veteran reintegration. To Hear Only Thunder Again explores the topical issues of educational, health, employment, housing, medical, and personal readjustment faced by veterans while continuously situating these issues against the backdrop of society's political response. Never before, or since, had Americans taken such a keen interest in veterans' affairs. While post-World War II America was spared the problem of veteran unemployment and while veterans were not associated with crime and political disorder--as had often been the case after World War I--the package of readjustment benefits devised that allowed for such a smooth transition was extremely expensive. Veterans of later wars never received as much assistance and consequently experienced more difficulty returning to civilian life. Van Ells' work ensures that these lessons of the Second World War are not entirely lost. To Hear Only Thunder Again provides an unprecedented exploration of a period largely neglected by military historians.
Download or read book Settlin written by Muriel Simms and published by Wisconsin Historical Society. This book was released on 2018-10-29 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Only a fraction of what is known about Madison’s earliest African American settlers and the vibrant and cohesive communities they formed has been preserved in traditional sources. The rest is contained in the hearts and minds of their descendants. Seeing a pressing need to preserve these experiences, lifelong Madison resident Muriel Simms collected the stories of twenty-five African Americans whose families arrived, survived, and thrived here in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. While some struggled to find work, housing, and acceptance, they describe a supportive and enterprising community that formed churches, businesses, and social clubs—and frequently came together in the face of adversity and conflict. A brief history of African American settlement in Madison begins the book to set the stage for the oral histories.
