Stokely Carmichael, the charismatic and controversial black activist, stepped onto the pages of history when he called for “Black Power\" during a speech one humid Mississippi night in 1966. Carmichael's life changed that day, and so did America's struggle for civil rights. “Black Power\" became the slogan of an era, provoking a national reckoning on race and democracy.In Stokely, preeminent civil rights scholar Peniel E. Joseph presents a groundbreaking biography of Carmichael, arguing that the young firebrand's evolution from nonviolent activist to Black Power revolutionary reflected the trajectory of a generation radicalized by the violence and unrest of the late 1960s. Fed up with the slow progress of the civil rights movement, Carmichael urged blacks to turn the rhetoric of freedom into a reality, inspiring countless African Americans to demand immediate political self-determination. A nuanced and authoritative portrait, Stokely captures the life of the man whose uncompromising vision reshaped the struggle for African American equality.

This literature review note attempts to review and import from Asian American studies into organizational behavior key aspects of the Model Minority Thesis literature as it relates to workforce diversity. The supportive and critical perspectives on the Model Minority Thesis are explored. On the supportive side, it is argued that Asian Americans are a Model Minority: too successful to be considered a disadvantaged minority. Supporters want other minority groups to emulate Asian Americans and to eliminate affirmative action. Critics disaggregate the statistics used by proponents and find a bimodal distribution; some Asian Americans are economically well off but run into a glass ceiling, whereas others are disadvantaged.

Breaking the Codes involves a much larger project than simply bringing to light the way fin-de-sicle culture responded to \"the problem\"; indeed, by exploring the multiple ways in which these crimes were told, retold, and reinvented in the public domain, [Ann-Louise Shapiro] reveals how the idea of female crime dominated cultural expressions of grief, suspicion, and concern over the changes occurring in the Third Republic. Consequently, Shapiro asserts, \"the story of female criminality was a story about the pain of social change\" (10). By using gender as a category of analysis, Shapiro integrates the subjects of cultural, social, and political history, and collapses the stark distinctions between public/private spheres found so often in feminist analysis and historical inquiry. Shapiro argues that when historians have divided the discipline into neat categories of \"political,\" \"social,\" and \"women's history,\" they have \"ignored the overlaps and commonalities that linked apparently different aspects of fin-de-sicle culture, and have obscured the ways that contemporaries depended on stable understandings of gender difference to make sense of both public and private life\" (219). Fallen Women, Problem Girls is another excellent example of skillful analysis that uses the lens of gender to find previously hidden struggles among groups of women. Throughout this eloquent narrative, [Regina G. Kunzel] uses the \"secret sisterhood\" of unmarried mothers to explore the tension that developed between evangelical reformers who hoped to save young girls from the \"fall\" of premarital sex and social workers who used established standards to regulate both evangelical women and the sexualized young mother. Employing \"problem\" females as subjects allows for a reassessment of the processes by which professionals worked to legitimize their positions in society at large as well as in their particular fields of interest. Characterized by Kunzel as an \"embattled and protracted transfer of power,\" the process of professionalization became a key site at which \"a coalition of male and female reformers claimed to free themselves from gendered meanings\" (3). [Carolyn Strange] draws her evidence from a significant and diverse compilation of primary sources to find a complex world that was more comfortable with medicalizing single women's work anxieties than with confronting the probability of exploitation by Toronto employers.(3) Toronto's girl problem featured the single female worker and, as Shapiro found in Paris, popular culture \"reconstituted\" her in \"successive images of 'modern' metropolitan life\" (213). This \"problem girl\" evolved from a \"woman adrift\" who feared the city, to a \"working girl\" who enjoyed the city, to a \"businesswoman\" who challenged the authority of the city. Strange argues that the \"relentless sexualization of working girls' behavior\" played a central role in the \"profound cultural transformation\" underway in one of Canada's urban centers (212-13). Experts employed what Strange terms a \"pleasure discipline\" to rein in those single women enjoying Toronto's attractions. Arrest rates prove that Toronto police were more concerned with eliminating \"non-marital, non-procreative sex rather than sexual aggression\"; for instance, arrests connected to homosexual activity or abortion were aimed at halting behaviors and practices associated with loose morals and sexual freedom (146).
