Racial liberalism, the Moynihan report & the Dædalus project on / Geary, Daniel   Journal Article
Geary, Daniel Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2011.
Summary/Abstract In 1965, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, then an official in the Johnson administration, published The Negro Family: The Case for National Action, better known as the Moynihan Report. He was influenced by his participation in two conferences organized by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in the mid-1960s, as well as two issues of its journal Dceda-lus, on the topic of "The Negro American." Arguing that the "damaged" family structure of African Americans would impede efforts to achieve full racial equality in the United States, the Moynihan Report launched an explosive debate that helped fracture a fragile liberal consensus on civil rights. Geary examines the report alongside the Dcedalus project, establishing its roots in the racial liberalism of the mid-1960s and connecting it to efforts by liberals to address the socioeconomic dimensions of racial inequality. He considers the close relationship between scholarship and public policy that existed at the time and reflects on the ways liberal ideas about race have changed in the decades since.

Way i would feel about San Quentin: Johnny Cash and the politics of country music / Geary, Daniel   Journal Article
Geary, Daniel Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract ohnny Cash's live prison albums, "At Folsom Prison" and "At San Quentin," are significant and under-recognized social statements of the 1960s. Cash encouraged his listeners to empathize with prisoners by performing songs with prison themes and by recording the electric reactions of inmates to his music. Cash performed before a multiracial audience, and his music was popular with the counterculture as well as with traditional country fans. Cash's albums and his prison reform activism rejected the law-and-order policies of conservative politicians who sought to enlist country music in their cause. An examination of Cash's prison records challenges the commonly held notion that country music provided the soundtrack for the white conservative backlash of the late 1960s.
