FraNCe: The French Heritage of North Carolina (In Living Color) by Dudley Marchi Pdf

There is a subtle but significant French heritage in North Carolina. Towns such as Bath, Beaufort, New Bern, and La Grange are testimony to the settlements of French Huguenots in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The city of Fayetteville is named after the Marquis de Lafayette, a French ally during the American Revolution. The first European explorers to the North Carolina region were, in fact, French (1524). French Huguenots migrated to the state as early as 1690 and many North Carolinians have last names of French origin. North Carolina has many other place names and remnants of French presence since the early colonial period. This book traces the historical presence of the French in NC from the state's origins to the present and tells the story of a little-known part of the state's cultural heritage.

At Home in Our Sounds by Rachel Anne Gillett Pdf

"At Home in Our Sounds: Music, Race, and Cultural Politics in Interwar Paris shows how and why music became part of the social changes Europe faced in the aftermath of World War One. It focuses on the story of black music in Paris and the people who created it, enjoyed it, criticised it and felt at home when they heard it. African Americans, French Antilleans, and French West Africans wrote, danced, sang, and acted politically in response to the heightened visibility of racial difference in Paris during this era. They were consumed with questions that continue to resonate today. Could one be black and French? Was black solidarity more important than national and colonial identity? How could French culture include the experiences and contributions of Africans and Antilleans? From highly educated women, like the Nardal sisters of Martinique, to the working black musicians performing in crowded nightclubs at all hours, At Home in Our Sounds gives a fully rounded view of black reactions to jazz in interwar Paris. It places that phenomenon in its historic and political context, and in doing so shows how music and music-making formed a vital terrain of cultural politics. It shows how music-making brought people together around pianos, on the dancefloor, and through reading and gossip, but it did not erase the political and regional and national differences between them. It shows that many found a home in Paris but did not always feel at home. This book reveals these dimensions of music-making, race, and cultural politics in interwar Paris"--

Shaping Race Policy by Robert Lieberman Pdf

Shaping Race Policy investigates one of the most serious policy challenges facing the United States today: the stubborn persistence of racial inequality in the post-civil rights era. Unlike other books on the topic, it is comparative, examining American developments alongside parallel histories of race policy in Great Britain and France. Focusing on on two key policy areas, welfare and employment, the book asks why America has had such uneven success at incorporating African Americans and other minorities into the full benefits of citizenship. Robert Lieberman explores the historical roots of racial incorporation in these policy areas over the course of the twentieth century and explains both the relative success of antidiscrimination policy and the failure of the American welfare state to address racial inequality. He chronicles the rise and resilience of affirmative action, including commentary on the recent University of Michigan affirmative action cases decided by the Supreme Court. He also shows how nominally color-blind policies can have racially biased effects, and challenges the common wisdom that color-blind policies are morally and politically superior and that race-conscious policies are merely second best. Shaping Race Policy has two innovative features that distinguish it from other works in the area. First, it is comparative, examining American developments alongside parallel histories of race policy in Great Britain and France. Second, its argument merges ideas and institutions, which are usually considered separate and competing factors, into a comprehensive and integrated explanatory approach. The book highlights the importance of two factors--America's distinctive political institutions and the characteristic American tension between race consciousness and color blindness--in accounting for the curious pattern of success and failure in American race policy.
