", "abstract": "This paper sketches broad trends in the history of American race relations in works published since 1955, as well as general trends in actual race relations since that year, in an attempt to understand what forces have shaped those two trends and to propose a Woodwardian reorientation of the field. After Strange Career, race relations history wandered for a time down a too-narrow path. More recently, it has unfortunately veered off course, concentrating on racial identity, rather than racial interaction; on violence, rather than vital statistics; on personal, rather than public politics. Too many historians, in this field and others, have succumbed to the fin-de-si\u00e8cle temptations of romanticism and intellectual despair, awarding everyone agency and denying anyone domination, and doubting the possibility of knowledge, while seemingly smug in the assurance that they alone possess the truth. In contrast to Woodward's emphasis on conflict and the possibility of change, many historians, often professed devotees of the political left, have ignored or dismissed distinctions between historical actors, promulgating an image of consensus in race relations that can only hamper effective action against discrimination. Placing themselves outside the fray, historians in general, except those on the political right, have largely retreated from efforts to change the minds that shape the institutional rules of racial interaction. Some have voiced a despair about human nature so profound, and a conviction of the irrationality and unpredictability of human beings so deep as to paralyze efforts at racial or any other type of reform. Woodward initiated the field of comparative reconstruction. It is now time for a second reconstruction of the field of race relations history.", "date": "2013", "date_type": "published", "publisher": "NewSouth Book", "place_of_pub": "Montgomery, AL", "pagerange": "423-453", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20200710-102534142", "isbn": "9781588382979", "book_title": "Dixie redux : essays in honor of Sheldon Hackney", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20200710-102534142", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "contributors": { "items": [ { "id": "Arsenault-R", "name": { "family": "Arsenault", "given": "Raymond" } }, { "id": "Burton-O-V", "name": { "family": "Burton", "given": "Oville Vernon" } } ] }, "primary_object": { "basename": "Strange_Career_and_the_Lost_Promise.pdf", "url": "https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/xnrey-ev963/files/Strange_Career_and_the_Lost_Promise.pdf" }, "resource_type": "book_section", "pub_year": "2013", "author_list": "Kousser, J.

(Kousser, 1974; Lawson,\n1976: 284) Because the timid 1957 and 1960 Civil Rights Acts proved ineffectual\nin the face of the refusal of adamantly discriminatory state and local officials\nto allow even the most obviously qualified blacks to register to vote, the\nCivil Rights Movement pressed for a more radical and comprehensive statute. In\n1965, after the Selma-to-Montgomery March, Congress responded by passing\nthe Voting Rights Act (VRA) (Landsberg, 2007). Although white southern obstruction\nof black voting registration swiftly collapsed in the late 1960s, leaders\nof the old racial order adopted another tactic to hang onto power: They instituted\nnew electoral structures, redrawing lines of local and state election districts to\ngive them safe white majorities or shifting from district to at-large elections to\nensure that small geographic areas where African Americans were in a majority\nwere submerged in larger, overwhelmingly white election territories (Parker,\n1990). In the 1969 case of Allen v. Board of Elections, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the VRA could be employed to attack such discriminatory structures,\nand Congress effectively endorsed the Court's interpretation when leading\nmembers and key committee reports explicitly approved the Allen decision during\nthe debate over the extension of key provisions of the VRA in 1970 (Kousser,\n1999: 56, 61).", "date": "2008", "date_type": "published", "publisher": "Berkeley Public Policy Press", "place_of_pub": "Berkeley, CA", "pagerange": "267-289", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20130905-101031410", "isbn": "9780877724261", "book_title": "The New Political Geography of California", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20130905-101031410", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "contributors": { "items": [ { "id": "Douzet-F", "name": { "family": "Douzet", "given": "Fr\u00e9d\u00e9rick" } }, { "id": "Kousser-T", "name": { "family": "Kousser", "given": "Thad" } }, { "id": "Miller-K-P", "name": { "family": "Miller", "given": "Kenneth P." } } ] }, "resource_type": "book_section", "pub_year": "2008", "author_list": "Kousser, J.

To gauge how well state courts and legislatures protected civil rights in the nineteenth century, I examined twenty school integration cases and numerous legislative and state constitutional convention actions in Louisiana and Kansas from 1868 through 1903.\nContrary to what Raoul Berger and others have asserted, black integrationists had many allies in the mainstream of the Republican party in the late 19th century. Not only did they pass laws prohibiting the exclusion of children from any school because of race, color, or previous condition of servitude, but they represented black plaintiffs in numerous school integration cases, most of which have previously been unknown to or at least little noticed by scholars. At least one judge ruled segregation contrary to the Fourteenth Amendment, while another came close to doing so. The arguments of lawyers, legislators, and black petitioners to legislative bodies were all similar and often quite sophisticated. In particular, the unpublished briefs in three Louisiana cases made clear how intermixed contentions based on state and national constitutions were. If the state constitution and laws created a right and the national constitution and laws prohibited unequal enjoyment of state-created rights, then legal inequities violated rights on both governmental levels simultaneously.\nFrom 1877 on in Louisiana, and from 1903 on in Kansas, blacks lost the strong protection against unequal schools that they had enjoyed, at least de jure, earlier. Whether the reversals reflected shifts in white public opinion is unclear, for it was not the white populous that made the changes, but a new, younger set of white racist judges. Their ability to reverse or bypass earlier liberal judicial decisions or legal provisions demonstrates how fragile rights can be in the several states and undermines the empirical foundations of what might be called \"the new states' rights.\"", "date": "1991", "date_type": "published", "publisher": "University of Georgia Press", "place_of_pub": "Athens, GA", "pagerange": "213-270", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20130905-083104926", "isbn": "082031305X", "book_title": "Toward a usable past : liberty under state constitutions", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20130905-083104926", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "contributors": { "items": [ { "id": "Finkelman-P", "name": { "family": "Finkelman", "given": "Paul" } }, { "id": "Gottlieb-S-E", "name": { "family": "Gottlieb", "given": "Stephen E." } } ] }, "resource_type": "book_section", "pub_year": "1991", "author_list": "Kousser, J.

In what types of communities did such\nsuits arise, and what sorts of men, judges as well as lawyers,\nstood for or against equal rights? Was the black struggle against\nracial discrimination in schools hopelessly lost from the\nbeginning because of unvarying and deeply-held racist beliefs\namong virtually all white Americans, or were those beliefs\nsufficiently malleable to allow some black progress? Was the\nunity of nineteenth-century whites behind racial segregation in\nschools so solid that the 1954 Brown decision, as Raoul Berger\nhas charged, 'upended' the law, reading the Fourteenth\nAmendment 'to mean exactly the opposite of what its framers\ndesigned it to mean'? In the largest sense, what light do the\ncases throw on the historical development of race relations in\nAmerica?", "date": "1986", "date_type": "published", "publisher": "Clarendon Press", "place_of_pub": "Oxford", "pagerange": "1-64", "id_number": "CaltechAUTHORS:20130913-161052724", "isbn": "9780199515448", "book_title": "Dead End: The Development of Nineteenth-Century Litigation on Racial Discrimination in Schools - An Inaugural Lecture delivered before the University of Oxford on 28 February 1985", "official_url": "https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20130913-161052724", "rights": "No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.", "funders": { "items": [ { "agency": "National Endowment for the Humanities", "grant_number": "R020225-82" } ] }, "contributors": { "items": [ { "id": "Kousser-J-M", "name": { "family": "Kousser", "given": "J.

", "abstract": "Quantitative social science launched its invasion of American\nhistory during the years 1957 to 1961. In 1957, Lee Benson,\na historian schooled in sociology, published a sweeping critique\nof \"impressionistic\" treatments of nineteenth-century\nAmerican elections and called on historians to expand their definition\nof primary sources beyond newspapers and manuscripts to include\nquantifiable data. Four years later Benson added practice to preachment,\nrelying heavily on a quantitative analysis of election returns to\nproduce a brilliant and original interpretation of American politics in\nthe 1830s and '40s. In a paper delivered in 1957, two Harvard\neconomists, Alfred H. Conrad and John R. Meyer, reinvigorated the\ndiscussion of an old historical problem and initiated the new\n\"econometric history\" by demonstrating the profitability both of slavery\nand of applying modern economic theory and techniques to history.\nBy 1960, the \"cliometricians,\" as they were jibingly labeled, were\nholding annual conferences at Purdue to coordinate research efforts\nand criticize each other's papers. A year before, the historian Merle\nCurti, assisted by several other historians and his psychologist wife,\nMargaret, published a quantitative historical study of community social\nstructure and mobility, which, along with the work of Stephan\nThernstrom, inspired legions of students to take up the \"new social\nhistory.\"", "date": "1980", "date_type": "published", "publisher": "Cornell Univ.
