Civic activists have worked to embed community institutions in the Phoenix area from the time of initial Anglo settlement in the Salt River valley. Civic elites sought to monopolize control over regional development via municipal governance in the period after the Second World War. This dissertation places qualitative sources on community life in conversation with quantitative sources on political economy to explain how civic elites, as manifest in the civic organization of Charter government, worked with suburban activists to maintain spatial racialization in Phoenix. This process reveals that the socio-political value of civic life has waned in metropolitan Phoenix after …
Fewer And Better Children: Race, Class, Religion, And Birth Control Reform In America, Melissa J. Wilde, Sabrina Danielsen
Fewer And Better Children: Race, Class, Religion, And Birth Control Reform In America, Melissa J. Wilde, Sabrina Danielsen
Departmental Papers (Sociology)
In the early 20th century, contraceptives were illegal and, for many, especially religious groups, taboo. But, in the span of just two years, between 1929 and 1931, many of the United States’ most prominent religious groups pronounced contraceptives to be moral and began advocating for the laws restricting them to be repealed. Met with everything from support, to silence, to outright condemnation by other religious groups, these pronouncements and the debates they caused divided the American religious field by an issue of sex and gender for the first time. This article explains why America’s religious groups took the positions they …

"A Tempestuous Voyage At Sea And A Fatiguing One By Land": Ulsterwomen In Philadelphia, 1783-1812, Sarah V. Riblet
CUREJ - College Undergraduate Research Electronic Journal
This thesis examines the lives of women who came from the north of Ireland, the area traditionally known as Ulster, and settled in the city of Philadelphia between the end of the American Revolution and the beginning of the War of 1812, when economic strife and political rebellion within Ireland impelled many to emigrate. In so doing, this work aims to augment the historical record on a group of people and a period of time that have received relatively little attention, as most scholars have heretofore focused on the experiences of male Irish immigrants during either the period of North …

Dr. Stanton E.F. Wortham (Education)
This study, The Roots of Educational Inequality, examines the political, economic, and social factors that led to the transformation of Germantown High School and its urban community throughout the twentieth century. This longitudinal study, accomplished through a careful analysis of daily events rather than sampling key turning points, maximizes the benefits of a case study approach by connecting local conditions to the larger transformation of urban schools, urban communities, and the social welfare state. Using a …

The Black Church As A Source Of Anti-Semitism In America, Raymond Thomas
The Black Church As A Source Of Anti-Semitism In America, Raymond Thomas
Dropsie College Theses
This dissertation is a study of the Black Church as a source of anti-Semitism in America. Anti-Semitism and prejudice are defined, and the roots of anti-Semitism are traced through biblical, medieval, and modern times.
Furthermore, this study attempts to bring together what I have investigated about anti-Semitism in the Black Church. First, the extent to which anti-Semitism exists within the Black Church is assessed. The specifically religious factors that give rise to anti-Semitism, or that tend to reduce it, are then considered. A few reflections are offered on what the Black Church can do to overcome anti-Semitism in its ranks.

United States Economic Assistance To Israel: 1949-1960, Eldin Ricks
Dropsie College Theses
Amidst the cross currents of events that influenced the power centers of the world in the first half of the twentieth century, the State of Israel was born in the year 1948. The new nation was denied the privilege of trading with its Middle East neighbors but succeeded in gaining succor from distant friends, one of which was the United States of America. This treatise is concerned with the motives prompting the U.S. government economic aid to the fledging Mediterranean power, with the nature and magnitude of aid extended, and with Israel's utilization of that aid. The period under review …
