From the dj: This biography of Maurice McCrackin, now in his mid-eighties, does more than chronicle one man's story. In an age characterized by corruption in high places, we have come to believe that one person's efforts cannot do much to effect change. McCrackin's example offers us another vision. This Presbyterian minister has devoted his life to building what Martin Luther King, Jr. called 'The Beloved Community' by reaching out to people in trouble and by giving them the support they need to do what needs doing. His story interweaves with many of the crucial social issues of the past 50 years: integration, civil rights, McCarthyism, schooling, the arms build-up, poverty, treatment of prisoners, and homelessness, among others. . more information

New York: National Putnam Letters Committee. Very Good. 1962. Hard Cover. Viii,87,[1] pages, cloth, very good. "Prepared by commission of the Governor of Alabama." "This is one of a number of copies of Dr. George's report which has been purchased for distribution by the National Putnam letters Committee, Grand Central Station, New York". From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. "Wesley Critz George (1888-1982) is remembered for his 87-page pamphlet, The Biology of the Race Problem, printed for the Commission of the Governor (John Patterson) of Birmingham, Alabama, 1962, which has been called "the last stand" of pseudoscientific racism. George argued for white biological racial superiority, and saved special venom for Frank Boas and his disciples. George used some of the same materials on intelligence tests, etc., that Jensen and Murray, among others, were later to use to try to prove black racial inferiority. Wesley Critz George was professor of histology and embryology, and chaired the Anatomy Department, University of North Carolina Medical School, and was an internationally recognized researcher on the genetics of race. Materials preserved at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, document George's theories on the genetic basis of "racial inferiority" beginning in 1944. There are also letters documenting George's disputes with religious leaders, particularly at the Chapel of the Cross in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, about racial mixing in churches, and George's disapproval of the "liberal" tendencies of university president Frank Porter Graham and sociologist Howard W. Odum. After the 1954 Supreme Court Brown v. Board of Education decision, George's fight against school integration escalated, reaching its height in 1955 - 1957, when George was active in the Patriots of North Carolina and then in the North Carolina Defenders of States' Rights which picked up the anti-integration banner after the Patriots' demise. George's activities in I. Beverly Lake's unsuccessful campaign for North Carolina governor are reflected in documents dated 1958 - 1960. George was also interested in race policies in other nations, specifically in Rhodesia and South Africa. Among his correspondents in the North Carolina archive are Carleton S. Coon, James P. Dees, Henry E. Garrett, Luther Hodges, R. Carter Pittman, Carleton Putnam, Clayton Rand, and Archibald Roosevelt. The archive also contains a considerable number of letters and other items that George received from individuals and organizations with extremist ideas on race relations. . more information

Lincoln,: University of Nebraska Press,. Very Good in Good dust jacket. 1996. Hard Cover. Abraham Lincoln Lecture Series. 246 pages, cloth, dj, very good. From the publisher: Smart Jews addresses one of the most controversial theories of our day: the alleged connection between race (or ethnicity), intelligence, and virtue. Sander Gilman shows that such theories have a long, disturbing history. He examines a wide range of texts-scientific treatises, novels, films, philosophical works, and operas-that assert the greater intelligence (and, often, lesser virtue) of Jews. The book opens with a discussion of concepts that relate intelligence and race (particularly those that figure in the controversial bestseller The Bell Curve); it then describes "scientific" theories of Jewish superior intelligence that were developed in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Gilman explores the reactions to those theories by Jewish scientists and intellectuals of that era, including Sigmund Freud, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and Hugo von Hofmannsthal. The conclusion turns to how such ideas figure in modern novels and films, from F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Last Tycoon to Stephen Spielberg's Schindler's List and Robert Redford's Quiz Show. Gilman demonstrates how stereotypes can permeate society, finding expression in everything from scientific work to popular culture. And he shows how the seemingly flattering attribution of superior intelligence has served to isolate Jews and to cast upon them the imputation of lesser virtue. A fascinating, highly readable book, Smart Jews is an essential work in our ongoing debates about race, ethnicity, intelligence, and virtue. . more information

From the dust jacket: "All is Well is a major personal statement about a man's search for self and spirit, in the process of which quest he considers, as solutions for the utter loneliness of life, art (especially literature), love (and sex), and politics (revolution). Julius Lester was born in 1939. He grew up in Kansas City, Kansas, and Nashville, Tennessee, the son of the minister of a black church and mother who had wanted a daughter, which was the beginning of Julius wanting a 'female' me and his seeing himself not only as Julius the man but also Michele the woman. After a highly intellectualized youth and early manhood, Julius Lester became progressively involved in radical black politics and emerged as a spokesman for the revolution, a role with which he grew painfully disenchanted." . more information
