Amadu Jacky Kaba
This study examines the profile of the contributors of full-length articles to the American Sociolog- ical Review (ASR) in 2010. Examining over a dozen variables, the study compared the findings with both the 2010 regular issues of the American Economic Review (AER) and the American Political Science Review (APSR). Although substantial gender and racial inequalities are observed in all three journals and the disciplines that own those journals, the ASR tends to have more gender and racial representations. Some explanations are provided for this finding. For example, in 2010 women accounted for 29 (36.3%) of the 80 contributors of all …

Among the factors presented for this development are: historical fluctuations of sex ratio at birth; geography and ethnicity; male preference/chasing a son; Age of parents; high death rates of male infants and …

The paper also ex- amines the issue of gender bias when it comes to salaries and advertisement or endorsement opportunities.
Black Americans And Interracial Marriage: A Focus On Black Women, Amadu Jacky Kaba
Black Americans And Interracial Marriage: A Focus On Black Women, Amadu Jacky Kaba
Amadu Jacky Kaba
This paper claims that although there has been a significant increase in the number of scholarly publica-tions on interracial marriages in the United States in recent decades, most of these publications tend to focus on the small but visible increase in marriages, co-habitations and dating; how Whites or European Gentile Americans are gradually becoming accepting of these relationships; the factors that are causing non-Blacks to “reject” Blacks; and specifically factors that are causing White men and other non-Black men to “reject” Black women. As a result, the paper attempts to contribute to this topic by focusing on an important phenomenon—that …

Race, Conquest And Revenge: Why Do Black People Resist Racial Revenge?, Amadu Jacky Kaba
Race, Conquest And Revenge: Why Do Black People Resist Racial Revenge?, Amadu Jacky Kaba
Amadu Jacky Kaba
This paper claims that people of Black African descent resist racial revenge, including against people of European descent.

Angola, Nigeria, Ghana, and Ethiopia are among the nations that lost at least one million of their members during this period.

Inter-Ethnic/Interracial Romantic Relationships In The United States: Factors Responsible For The Low Rates Of Marriages Between Blacks And Whites, Amadu Jacky Kaba
Inter-Ethnic/Interracial Romantic Relationships In The United States: Factors Responsible For The Low Rates Of Marriages Between Blacks And Whites, Amadu Jacky Kaba
Amadu Jacky Kaba
This paper examines the status of interracial romantic relationships among non-Black groups and those between Blacks and non-Blacks in the United States. The research shows that, apart from Blacks, inter-ethnic/interracial marriages and other forms of romantic unions have increased substantially by the 21st Century. For Black Americans, however, the data show that just a very tiny fraction of them are involved in interracial romantic re-lations, including marriages with Whites and other non-White groups. The paper then goes on to present the factors responsible for this phenomenon.

Educational Attainment, Population Increase And The Progress Of African Americans, Amadu Jacky Kaba
Educational Attainment, Population Increase And The Progress Of African Americans, Amadu Jacky Kaba
Amadu Jacky Kaba
This paper claims that African Americans are making consistent progress in college or university enrollment and degree attainment. These gains in educational attainment have led to a substantial proportion of African Americans to rise in many important sectors of society, such as business, the military and politics. However, there is a concern that unlike the Asian and Hispanic populations in the United States, proportionally, the African American population is not increasing as rapidly. This slow annual growth of the African American population may have both economic and political implications in the years and decades to come.
