Editorial Review

Product Description
Welfare Reform and the Revitalization of Inner City Neighborhoods examines the institutional impact of welfare reform on community-based organizations. Unlike many studies that treat children and individuals of families as the units for analyzing the effects of public policy, Jennings uses a case-study approach involving three low-income neighborhoods in Massachusetts, which assesses the effects of welfare reform based on the neighborhood. The significance of Jennings’s work shows an inconsistency in the increasing call upon foundations and government for building social capital and civic participation as a response to problems faced by inner-city communities, as well as the institutional effects of welfare reform. ...

Product Description

Karen Kaufmann's groundbreaking study shows that perceptions of interracial conflict can cause voters in local elections to focus on race, rather than party attachments or political ideologies. Using public opinion data to examine mayoral elections in New York and Los Angeles over the past 35 years, Kaufmann develops a contextual theory of local voting behavior that accounts for the Republican victories of the 1990s in these overwhelmingly Democratic cities and the "liberal revivals" that followed. Her conclusions cast new light on the interactions between government institutions, local economies, and social diversity. The Urban Voter offers a critical analysis of urban America's changing demographics and the ramifications of these changes for the future of American politics.
This book will interest scholars and students of urban politics, racial politics, and voting behavior; the author's interdisciplinary approach also incorporates theoretical insights from sociology and social psychology. The Urban Voter is appropriate for both undergraduate and graduate level courses.
Karen Kaufmann is Assistant Professor in the Department of Government and Politics at the University of Maryland, College Park.

Product Description
Unknown Tongues examines the social and economic factors of northern industrialization, social reform, and black nationalism, all of which undergirded black women’s political consciousness during the decades before the American Civil War. The linkages between black women’s roles in the "culture of resistance" in slave communities and their transformations in the urban market economy fueled the development of black women’s political consciousness.As community activists and then as abolitionists, black urban women organized and protested against slavery, racism, sexism, and its attendant ills. Driven by market forces of nascent capitalism, black women created broad- based protest responses to the white power structure. Unknown Tongues explores the material realities that underpinned black women’s political development as well as the transformative stages of their political consciousness and activity. ...

Product Description
Thirty years ago President Johnson convened the Kerner Commission to examine the reasons why race riots were rampant.The commission concluded that the U.S. was "moving towards two societies, one black, one white, seperate and unequal."Today, poverty in America is worse than in 1968. In the midst of a U.S. economic boom, the country is resegregating, and poor African Americans and Hispanics continue to be concentrated in urban environments. With contributors including best-selling author William Julius Wilson, this book shows what works and what doesn't in dealing with these problems and offers practical policy recommendations. ...

3-0 out of 5 stars separation or imagination
This book was informative and helped to gain a better understanding of how things were thirty years ago and why the Kerner Commission was needed.The commission was seeing a separation of the United States into a black society and a white society.As these two societies were becoming unequal, the commission was hoping to fix the separation and bring together the United States as one.
The author feels as though the level and the separation amongst black and white Americans is worse today than when the Kerner Commission was convened.This book gives several statistics showing the fact that poverty in the U.S. is worse than in many other developed countries.However, the author appears to focus mostly on the separation of the two societies and the fact that the U. S. is not taking responsibility for the African Americans and Hispanics in poverty.The book covers how the author feels the U. S. should act in this situation, and the things that could be done in order to improve this poverty stricken area.There seems to be no mention of actions the people in the areas could take in order to help themselves out, which is an area that needs to be addressed.The book places the blame on the rest of society, when in fact the people living in poverty also need to take steps in order to ensure their security will improve in the future.
The author uses many statistics in order to get this point across, when in actuality, the statistics get so in depth, they just become confusing and therefore are almost meaningless.The book would be much more effective if stories were given, maybe some true life accounts.These stories would help to eliminate the second problem with the book, the extreme bias.The author appeared to be completely biased to the people in these poverty areas and toward African Americans.In one part of the book, the author designated himself to be the example of black children in poor schools; this bias causes a dramatic tone and could cause readers to tune out the message that is given.
Credit is due to the items dealing with schools and the improvements that need to be made.The areas describing smaller classrooms, and stressing the importance of the class work are things that need to be done in order to improve schools, as well as the economy as a whole.The highlight of this portion is the idea that parents need to take a more active part in their children's learning.This is a great idea and one that should be taken up again.

5-0 out of 5 stars Thoughtful reading for students of Urban Studies
Locked In The Poorhouse: Cities, Race, And Poverty In The United States is an impressive and scholarly collection of writings and essays examining American cultural and economic conditions which have given rise to incidents of urban social unrest in the past.

Duncan and Jeanne Brooks-Gunn (Urban Poverty, Welfare Reform, and Child Development); Gary Sandefur, Molly Martin, and Thomas Wells (Poverty as a Public Health Issue: Since the Kerner Report of 1968); William Julius Wilson, James M.

Editorial Review

Product Description
In describing the intensity of political life in ancient Pompeii, Cicero remarks, "at Pompeii it's difficult" (Pompeis difficile est). Drawing on thousands of fragmentary writings--campaign posters, graffiti, inscriptions, and business receipts--recovered in the excavations of lava- and mud-covered Pompeii, James L. Franklin assembles evidence from the eras of emperors Augustus through Vespasian to prove the validity of Cicero's statement.
By collecting, sifting, and cross-referencing these varied documents, Franklin proves it possible to trace the major political alliances of the times, explore the remains of their houses, and find traces of their personalities. A few families, like the powerful Holconii, developers of the region's most famous grape vine, prove to have been steady players throughout Pompeii's history; but most families rose and fell within two generations at most. Chapters examine the men and families most prominent in each imperial period, including an analysis of their houses, and concludes with family trees. The documents themselves, elsewhere difficult to access, are prominently featured and translated in the text, making these discussions available and vivid to all readers.
This book is the first such attempt to cross-reference and animate all kinds of writing found at this legendary site. Outside of the city of Rome itself, this is the largest collection of writing from Roman antiquity, and it has lain mostly unexamined in the course of three centuries of excavations at Pompeii. This volume will interest not only students of Pompeii and classical scholars, but also historians, political scientists, sociologists, and enthusiasts of human behavior of all eras.
James L. Franklin is Professor of Classical Studies, Indiana University.

4-0 out of 5 stars One of the Better Histories I've Read
History's not my thing, to be honest.Most of it is poorly writen and consist of merely fact after fact after fact.I like to read though.Novels are more my taste though.A good novelist will teach you far more than will a history book.

Kilar's Lumbertowns looks at the Rise and Fall of three pre-eminant lumber towns in an era where Michigan was giving its White Pine (of which the State had millions of Acres of primordeal forests) to a developing nation shortly after the American Civil War.The Towns are Saginaw, Muskegon, and Bay City.

Kilar's history here is really the story of how towns grew up in Michigan.Had there been no white pine, its safe to say that cities like Saginaw Michigan would never have been what they were.In a span of 35 years the lower part of Michigan's Pine Belt became transformed from remote frontier outpost into industrialized center of manufacturing.Things were great in these three towns.But then, quite suddenly, the Pine was all gone.

This book looks at the workers and the owners, and the unique and dynamic relationship of the two distinct classes.He uses statistics to tease out information andtry to explane how the worker/owner demographic in each town affected that towns progression.

Interesting read.I had to read it for a class on Michigan History ... Read more
