"Central to the development of the American legal system, writes Professor Finkelman in Slavery & the Law, is the institution of slavery. It informs us not only about early concepts of race and property, but about the nature of American democracy itself. Prominent historians of slavery and legal scholars analyze the intricate relationship between slavery, race, and the law from the earliest Black Codes in colonial America to the passage ..."

"Professor Linda Bensel-Meyers, a rhetoric professor at the University of
Tennessee, certainly merits what little support I can provide. She headed the
university's tutoring program and for years complained to officials about the snap
courses and easy grading she felt were cheating athletes out of a college
education. She charged that com— positions turned in by athletes were often
written by the athletic department tutors, sometime ..."

"The first question many people ask when hearing of a new book from Al Gore is, "Is it about the environment?" The answer is yes, but it's not (or, rather, not only) the kind of environment he wrote about in Earth in the Balance and of course painted such a vivid picture of in his Oscar-winning documentary (and companion book), An Inconvenient Truth. It's the political environment he's concerned about in The Assault on Reason: the way we ..."

research. Davis-Netzley interviewed female and male executives, and, though
she found some overlap in their responses, she detected a gendered pattern to
their perceptions. The editor's note reports why women can be important to
corporations. In another part of the corporate world— the print media—Katha
Pollitt's chapter calls attention to the paucity of wom ..."

"W.E.B. Du Bois’s The Souls of Black Folk is one of the most influential books ever published in this country. In it, Du Bois wrote that “the problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color line,” a prophecy that is as fresh and poignant today as when it first appeared in print in 1903. Now, one hundred years after The Souls of Black Folk was first published, Saving the Race reexamines the legacy of Du Bois and his “color l ..."
