Experiences Of Women Activists: Implications For Community Organizing Theory And Practice, Cheryl Hyde Sep 1986

Experiences Of Women Activists: Implications For Community Organizing Theory And Practice, Cheryl Hyde

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

The field of community organizing would be wise to heed the words of Abigail Adams to her revolutionary husband, John. Contributions of women activists have been virtually ignored by the field of social work. Consequently, social work has a diminished knowledge base and has alienated large numbers of talented women. Ironically, both the past and the future of community organizing are tied intimately with the action of women. Foremothers include Jane Addams, Dorothea Dix and Lillian Wald. Current trends suggest that "women's issues," such as poverty, the family and reproductive rights, will be on national, state and local agendas for …

The Things Which Makes For Peace, Richard Hough-Ross

Occasional Papers on Religion in Eastern Europe

The brief homily which follows was prepared as the core of a closing worship service which concluded a conference attended by US and Soviet religious leaders. The conference, entitled "The Challenges of Peace and Justice: Responses from the Religious Communities of the US and USSR," was sponsored by US-USSR Bridges for Peace of Norwich, Vermont. It was held at the Arch Street Friends Meeting, and was organized in cooperation with the American Friends Service Committee and Philadelphia Yearly Meeting of the Society of Friends. The Soviet participants at the conference, 14 in number, were delegates sent by the Russian Orthodox …


Poverty Amid Renewed Affluence: The Poor Of New England At Mid-Decade, Andrew M. Sum, Paul E. Harrington, William B. Goedicke, Robert Vinson Jun 1986

Poverty Amid Renewed Affluence: The Poor Of New England At Mid-Decade, Andrew M. Sum, Paul E. Harrington, William B. Goedicke, Robert Vinson

New England Journal of Public Policy

This article examines the problem of poverty in New England during the current period of economic prosperity. Major trends in the size and composition of the poor population within the region are analyzed. Striking changes in the relative incidence of poverty have occurred among families in New England. As the economy has moved toward full employment, poverty rates among husband-wife families in the region have fallen sharply. In contrast, female-headed families in New England have not benefited substantially from recent rapid increases in employment opportunities. The result has been a persistent trend toward the feminization of poverty in New England. …


Imagining Boston: The City As Image And Experience, Shaun O'Connell Jun 1986

Imagining Boston: The City As Image And Experience, Shaun O'Connell

New England Journal of Public Policy

I want to discuss community and imagery, social division and literary unity, Boston poetry and prose. In most issues of NEJPP I will focus upon those recent books that fire our imaginations and help us shape our sense of local and regional place. In this issue, however, I want to look back at the tradition of imagery that resonates in Boston's history. Old ideas of Boston are quickly being buried under layers of architectural and cultural renewal. While the suburbs become more urbanized and the commuter roads more clogged, downtown Boston is in the midst of the greatest building boom …


Challenge Of Poverty To The Reformed Community, Fred J. De Jong Jun 1986

Challenge Of Poverty To The Reformed Community, Fred J. De Jong

Pro Rege

This article is the third in a series of three on the concept of poverty. The product of a series of seminars sponsored by the Social Sciences Division at Dordt College, the earlier articles defined poverty, introduced related Biblical concepts, and discussed the role of the state. For reference, see: Jasper Lesage, "Justice for the Poor: The Political Problem of Poverties," Pro Rege (14,2: December, 1985), p. 2-15; and Maarten Vrieze, "The Reformed College Confronts Poverty," Pro Rege (13,4: June, 1985), pp. 11-20.

To "Pravda", Author Unknown May 1986

To "Pravda", Author Unknown

Occasional Papers on Religion in Eastern Europe

This is a three part samizdat from Moscow by an anonymous author. The circumstances under which the samizdat was obtained were quite interesting. Several years ago an American professor was approached by a Moscovite in a subway station. Not speaking any Russian he was unable to understand what the man was saying to him. As the subway train approached the Soviet stuck some crumpled paper into the American's pocket and disappeared. The professor did not realize until later that there was a developed negative of a film inside the paper. The negatives contained photos of many typed pages which, however, …


The Authorship Of Places: Reflections On Fieldwork In South Africa, John Western Apr 1986

The Authorship Of Places: Reflections On Fieldwork In South Africa, John Western

Syracuse Scholar (1979-1991)

A social geographer takes a reflective view from afar of troubled South Africa, where he did intensive fieldwork. Issues of personal, academic, and social responsibility, plus those of the philosophy of social science, arise.


Two Cheers For Pornography, Steven Sanders Apr 1986

Two Cheers For Pornography, Steven Sanders

Bridgewater Review

The existence of pornography from the earliest times and in virtually every culture attests to a remarkable universality and persistence. Of course, popularity is no proof of legitimacy. How, if at all, can pornography be justified? This question has no easy answer. Indeed, if one may judge from the controversy, consensus is far from being reached on the question of pornography. I shall suggest some things that can be said in favor of pornography, though I am by no means giving my unqualified endorsement - hence, only two cheers for pornography. Naturally, I expect some readers to disagree with me, …
