The historical consequences of the racial practices of employers and organized labor, as well as of the federal government, are analyzed within the context of law and social change.

Book Synopsis The Evasion of African American Workers by : Roderick O. Ford
Download or read book The Evasion of African American Workers written by Roderick O. Ford and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2008-10 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EMPLOYMENT LAW STUDIES------ BOOK THEME: The Evasion of African American Workers dispels the euphoric idealism in vogue today which purports that civil rights laws and social protest movements are dispensable. It gives credence to the claims of millions of African American workers who believe that they have been discriminated against on their jobs and, simultaneously, it forcefully appeals to the American legal community to take the lead in taking action to avert disasterous socioeconomic consequences now facing the African American community.----- TABLE OF CONTENTS: (1). Chapter One: "The Great Implosion" (2). Chapter Two: "The Legacy of Chattel Slavery" (3). Chapter Three: "Origins of Race in the American Workforce" (4). Chapter Four: "Washington & DuBois Revisited" (5) Chapter Five: "Employment At Will" (6) Chapter Six: "Workplace Harassment: An American Tragedy" (7) Chapter Seven: "Racial Slurs and Symbols..." (8). Chapter Eight: "Surveillance and the Criminalization of Work" (9). Chapter Nine: "Degradation of Servitude- A New Common Law Doctrine" (10). Chapter Ten: "Risk Management, Race, and Employment" (11). Chapter Eleven: "Tale of an African American Worker" (12). Chapter Twelve: "Court Access and the African American Worker"------ BOOK SUMMARY: Chapters One through Four provide unique perspectives concentrating primarily upon the historical origins of the critical problems facing African American workers in the early part of the twenty-first century. Chapter One directs attention to three of the most critical relationships bolstering the African American Community: that of parent-child, husband-wife, and employer-employee. Chapter One offers a prophetic warning to this nation; namely, that disastrous genocidal consequences are imminent, should current trends persist unabated. Chapter Two focuses attention on the economic impact of American slavery on the current crisis: while African Americans make up thirteen percent of the total population of the United States, their net worth is only 1.2 percent of the total net worth of the nation, and this percentage of total net worth has not changed since the end of the Civil War in 1865. Next, Chapter Three analyzes the social impact of American slavery on the current crisis: the Free Soil and Free Labor movements which had coalesced into the Republican Party during the 1850´s, and nominated Abraham Lincoln as its anti-slavery presidential candidate in 1860, had been primarily and exclusively a white workers´ political movement. Thus, from the end of the Civil War in 1865, up through the 1950s, African American workers were systematically excluded from predominantly white labor unions, high-paying jobs, and apprenticeships in the trades. Finally, ending the historical component of this book, Chapter Four looks at two of Black America´s greatest leaders-- Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois-- in an effort to isolate and to revitalize their essential thoughts on similar economic problems facing African American workers in these early days of the twenty-first century. *** Turning to traditional law topics-- the common law, statutory law, and constitutional law-- Chapters Five through Nine analyze weaknesses in the current American legal system: e.g., the draconian impact of the at-will employment doctrine on African American workers in Chapter Five; the daunting task of proving "discriminatory intent" in hostile work environment cases in Chapter Six; the increasing workplace tolerance of racial slurs and symbols in Chapter Seven; the devastating impact of incarcertaion, crime and workplace surveillance in Chapter Eight; and a recommendation for a newer, more pertinent legal doctrine (i.e., "the degradation of servitude") in Chapter Nine.*** Chapters Ten through Twelve close out the book with three novel and unique perspectives on African American employment problems. Chapter Ten purports that the risks of attaining

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the obstacles to equality under law, black Americans have set a determined path to make the words of the Preamble of the Declaration of Independence a reality for themselves and others. This book is an introduction to race and law in America. It is designed as a tool to the understanding of the role of race in American society through the prism of legal cases brought by and against blacks. The analysis will include American colonial laws, landmark Supreme Court cases of the 19th and 20th centuries as well as relevant recent decisions. In examining these cases the reader will discern the great impact civil rights cases have had on American society as well as the effect our society has had on the legal system. It will provide the reader with a foundation for present day discourse involving pressing issues of race in American society.
Book Synopsis Roots of Disorder by : Christopher Waldrep
Download or read book Roots of Disorder written by Christopher Waldrep and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every white southerner understood what keeping African Americans "down" meant and what it did not mean. It did not mean going to court; it did not mean relying on the law. It meant vigilante violence and lynching. Looking at Vicksburg, Mississippi, Roots of Disorder traces the origins of these terrible attitudes to the day-to-day operations of local courts. In Vicksburg, white exploitation of black labor through slavery evolved into efforts to use the law to define blacks' place in society, setting the stage for widespread tolerance of brutal vigilantism. Fed by racism and economics, whites' extralegal violence grew in a hothouse of more general hostility toward law and courts. Roots of Disorder shows how the criminal justice system itself plays a role in shaping the attitudes that encourage vigilantism. "Delivers what no other study has yet attempted. . . . Waldrep's book is one of the first systematically to use local trial data to explore questions of society and culture." -- Vernon Burton, author of "A Gentleman and an Officer": A Social and Military History of James B. Griffin's Civil War
Book Synopsis Law and the Shaping of the American Labor Movement by : William E. Forbath
Download or read book Law and the Shaping of the American Labor Movement written by William E. Forbath and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why did American workers, unlike their European counterparts, fail to forge a class-based movement to pursue broad social reform? Was it simply that they lacked class consciousness and were more interested in personal mobility? In a richly detailed survey of labor law and labor history, William Forbath challenges this notion of American “individualism.” In fact, he argues, the nineteenth-century American labor movement was much like Europe’s labor movements in its social and political outlook, but in the decades around the turn of the century, the prevailing attitude of American trade unionists changed. Forbath shows that, over time, struggles with the courts and the legal order were crucial to reshaping labor’s outlook, driving the labor movement to temper its radical goals.

Book Synopsis The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America by : Richard Rothstein

This book was released on 2017-05-02 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller • Notable Book of the Year • Editors' Choice Selection One of Bill Gates’ “Amazing Books” of the Year One of Publishers Weekly’s 10 Best Books of the Year Longlisted for the National Book Award for Nonfiction An NPR Best Book of the Year Winner of the Hillman Prize for Nonfiction Gold Winner • California Book Award (Nonfiction) Finalist • Los Angeles Times Book Prize (History) Finalist • Brooklyn Public Library Literary Prize This “powerful and disturbing history” exposes how American governments deliberately imposed racial segregation on metropolitan areas nationwide (New York Times Book Review). Widely heralded as a “masterful” (Washington Post) and “essential” (Slate) history of the modern American metropolis, Richard Rothstein’s The Color of Law offers “the most forceful argument ever published on how federal, state, and local governments gave rise to and reinforced neighborhood segregation” (William Julius Wilson). Exploding the myth of de facto segregation arising from private prejudice or the unintended consequences of economic forces, Rothstein describes how the American government systematically imposed residential segregation: with undisguised racial zoning; public housing that purposefully segregated previously mixed communities; subsidies for builders to create whites-only suburbs; tax exemptions for institutions that enforced segregation; and support for violent resistance to African Americans in white neighborhoods. A groundbreaking, “virtually indispensable” study that has already transformed our understanding of twentieth-century urban history (Chicago Daily Observer), The Color of Law forces us to face the obligation to remedy our unconstitutional past.
Book Synopsis Slavery by Another Name by : Douglas A. Blackmon
Download or read book Slavery by Another Name written by Douglas A. Blackmon and published by Icon Books. This book was released on 2012-10-04 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Pulitzer Prize-winning history of the mistreatment of black Americans. In this 'precise and eloquent work' - as described in its Pulitzer Prize citation - Douglas A. Blackmon brings to light one of the most shameful chapters in American history - an 'Age of Neoslavery' that thrived in the aftermath of the Civil War through the dawn of World War II. Using a vast record of original documents and personal narratives, Blackmon unearths the lost stories of slaves and their descendants who journeyed into freedom after the Emancipation Proclamation and then back into the shadow of involuntary servitude thereafter. By turns moving, sobering and shocking, this unprecedented account reveals these stories, the companies that profited the most from neoslavery, and the insidious legacy of racism that reverberates today.

Book excerpt: A comprehensive, readable analysis of the key issues of the Black Lives Matter movement, this thought-provoking and compelling anthology features essays by some of the nation’s most influential and respected criminal justice experts and legal scholars. “Somewhere among the anger, mourning and malice that Policing the Black Man documents lies the pursuit of justice. This powerful book demands our fierce attention.” —Toni Morrison Policing the Black Man explores and critiques the many ways the criminal justice system impacts the lives of African American boys and men at every stage of the criminal process, from arrest through sentencing. Essays range from an explication of the historical roots of racism in the criminal justice system to an examination of modern-day police killings of unarmed black men. The contributors discuss and explain racial profiling, the power and discretion of police and prosecutors, the role of implicit bias, the racial impact of police and prosecutorial decisions, the disproportionate imprisonment of black men, the collateral consequences of mass incarceration, and the Supreme Court’s failure to provide meaningful remedies for the injustices in the criminal justice system. Policing the Black Man is an enlightening must-read for anyone interested in the critical issues of race and justice in America.
