Governing Race
Moore argues that there is a fundamental incompatibility between race and governance. She examines the formal procedures used to enact the thirteen major civil rights laws and the policy concessions necessitated by the use of those procedures and notes the impact of the divisive nature of the politics of race upon procedure and substance. Her analysis of 40 years of congressional civil rights lawmaking reveals that whenever race is introduced into the normal policy process, that process breaks down. In its place emerges an abnormal policy process—one that is inordinately demanding with respect to skill, input, and support/votes. She concludes that the substantive provisions of policies pro...
The Political Roots of Racial Tracking in American Criminal Justice
This book examines the role of the public and policy makers in enabling the race problem in the American criminal justice system.
Annie Moore
What does war do to a family? In her 98-year lifetime, Annie Marshall Moore didn't ponder that question. Instead, she lived it. World War I changed her husband forever, and World War II wrought similar changes in the man with whom Annie's volatile younger daughter fell in love. Yet those wars were only two seasons in her life, which started before the first flight of the Wright brothers and ended decades after the first moon landing. At 19 she abandoned a budding career that she loved-a career which made her unusual, indeed, for a young woman of her generation-and returned home to nurse her parents and siblings through a deadly pandemic. At 21, she proudly voted in the first election that allowed American women to do so. She kept her young family warm and fed through the years of the Great Depression, and sent a daughter off to college in 1941-long before that became common, and at a time when it posed huge challenges. Did these things, and all that came after them, make her extraordinary? Not at all. Many "Annie Moores" lived along Maine's coast during the twentieth century. This is the fact-based story of one.

Only for the Brave at Heart
Only when we transform our minds can we break the chains of our mental enslavement and find true liberation from our misperceptions about race, crime, and justice. Social commentators and scholars have presented numerous theories on these topics. But while all lament the horrors associated with discrimination and racism, few so far have proposed a viable way to escape these sufferings. By taking a critical look at the writings of novelists, social commentators, and scholars in the fields of sociology, criminology, criminal justice, black studies, philosophy, and law, Professor Leon E. Pettiway presents a series of essays that provide a path that liberates us from these sufferings. In doing s...

The Two Reconstructions
Winner of the 2005 J. David Greenstone Book Award from the Politics and History section of the American Political Science Association. Winner of the 2005 Ralph J. Bunche Award of the American Political Science Association Winner of the 2005 V.O. Key, Jr. Award of the Southern Political Science Association The Reconstruction era marked a huge political leap for African Americans, who rapidly went from the status of slaves to voters and officeholders. Yet this hard-won progress lasted only a few decades. Ultimately a "second reconstruction"—associated with the civil rights movement and the Voting Rights Act—became necessary. How did the first reconstruction fail so utterly, setting the sta...
The Rise of Western Power
The West's history is one of extraordinary success; no other region, empire, culture, or civilization has left so powerful a mark upon the world. The Rise of Western Power charts the West's achievements-representative government, the free enterprise system, modern science, and the rule of law-as well as its misdeeds-two frighteningly destructive World Wars, the Holocaust, imperialistic domination, and the Atlantic slave trade. Adopting a global perspective, Jonathan Daly explores the contributions of other cultures and civilizations to the West's emergence. Historical, geographical, and cultural factors all unfold in the narrative. Adopting a thematic structure, the book traces the rise of Western power through a series of revolutions-social, political, technological, military, commercial, and industrial, among others. The result is a clear and engaging introduction to the history of Western civilization.
