How is black and Latino representation affected by state takeovers of local government? Since racial minorities have had a complex history in the struggle between local autonomy and centralized authority, when does state centralization lead to increased political empowerment for racial minorities?

To answer these questions, the chapter examines how state takeovers of local school districts affect black and Latino descriptive representation on local school boards. Relying on a case study

Italian unification preceded a new era of European imperial expansion. Italian nationalists were eager to ensure Italy’s position as a European great power by claiming overseas territories.

After the French occupation of Tunisia in 1881 and the Italian military disaster at Adwa in 1896, Italian imperialists turned their focus to the Ottoman districts of Tripolitania and Cyrenaica in modern-day Libya.

As a relatively new discipline, psychiatry always strived to live up to the latest medical standards. In doing so, it had to let itself be judged above all by its institutions.

In this respect, therefore, district hospitals in Bavaria represent a special case. In a few decades and in line with the development of medicinal treatment and new concepts in hospitals, therapy and care, they became specialist hospitals.

Why do states take over local school districts? Additionally, why are Republicans—usually the champions of local control and decentralization—leading the efforts to take over local school districts?

Relying on historical analysis and an original data set of nearly 1,000 school districts, the chapter argues that although concerns about academic performance are the main public justification for a state takeover, politics was a major factor in the emergence of state takeovers.

Instead, middle-class actors took it upon themselves to modernize Kālīghāṭ’s management system in the mid-twentieth century.

Stigmatized because of their race, residence, and loathsome diseases, Chinese suspects of contagion were avidly sought in the streets or flushed out of their Chinatown hideouts during periodic sanitary raids into the district.

Niki Johnson shows that despite Uruguay being an institutionalized democracy, women have struggled to make numerical progress in politics. Formal and informal institutions that are inherently ridden with political biases limit women’s representation. Small district and party magnitudes along with male-biased candidate selection rules hindered women’s entry into office until the adoption of a gender quota, which was applied minimally by the main parties. Even with a quota, they still do not prioritize gender as a criterion for political office. Johnson points out that substantive representation

Abstract:

As long as American public historians have been celebrating the idea that museums and historic sites can play a central role in civic life, they have agonized over how this can happen. But in other parts of the world, public histories have emerged as inextricable parts of larger civic projects. Each has developed a different definition of “dialogue,” reflecting different understandings of what democracy looks like. This paper explores three different visions of dialogue that evolved in different national contexts to support different visions of democracy: promoting public discussion of long-su

Chapter 4 examines the commodification of minority musics in Vietnam’s flourishing tourism industry. In recent years the idyllic mountainous district of Sa Pa has experienced a rapid proliferation of minority-themed cultural productions. Local authorities have maintained control over the most profitable dance and music shows at Cát Cát village and Hàm Rồng mountain; the former is used in this chapter as a case study to document how local traditions, which the organizers of these shows claim to be preserving, are being adapted to cater to tourists’ desires.

This chapter charts the historical development of Bible reading and Bible courses in American public schools from the early 1800s to the early 2000s, discussing key events such as nineteenth-century Bible wars, the creation of distinct Bible courses in conjunction with Sunday Schools and Weekday Religious Education, Supreme Court cases like Abington Township School District v. Schempp, and post-Schempp efforts to promote Bible classes. It pays particular attention to the ways Bible reading and Bible courses have often favored some religious perspectives over others and to the efforts of courts

Abstract:

This chapter considers developments leading up to the census of 1850, heralded as the “first scientific census” of the United States. It made a clean break with its predecessors and solidified the influence of the reformer statisticians who found in it a way to make up for the catastrophic census of 1840. The most important change was the shift from the familial level for collection of information to individual data: a whole line of the principal schedule was devoted to each member of a family. The other great innovation was the division of the census into six separate schedules: free inhabita

This chapter provides an overview of Indonesia’s courts and their operation, except for the Constitutional Court, which is covered in Chapter 5. It begins with a general discussion of key aspects of judicial decision-making, including Indonesia’s version of the system of precedent (yurisprudensi) and principles of statutory interpretation, before examining post-Soeharto judicial reform, the success of which has been mixed, at best. The chapter then covers the relative jurisdictions of the various courts that sit below the Supreme Court in the judiciary hierarchy—the district, administrative, r

This chapter discusses the philosophy that Robert T. Motts had imprinted on the Pekin Theater and how it resonated with George Walker's belief in the possibilities for the growth and maturation of black theater as a special case of racial development and acceptance. From start to finish, Motts remained an entrepreneur ideologically committed to the doctrine of economic success as the surest engine of racial uplift. He left artistic aspirations in the hands of the Pekin Stock Company, and this meant primarily those of J. Ed. Green. This chapter describes the musical comedies served up at the Pe

This chapter attempts to construct a multisite ethnography of land grab by the government for private profit-making companies in Paschim (west) Medinipur district of West Bengal under the pro-peasant leftist government. The text of the article juxtaposes the direct fieldwork experiences with archival data collected from land acquisition files. The transition from a land-based rural economy toward an industrial regime was not smooth. It was characterized by protest, resistance, and bargains by the peasants as well as government and private company failures despite official claims of industrial

This chapter describes the process and outcome of the revision of POA. The revision of POA had two objectives: first, spelling out the roadmap and a timeline for implementation of the revised policy postulates of NPE, 1986, and secondly taking stock of the implementation of the POA, 1986, and revising it in the light of the feedback from implementation. It critiques the contribution POA made to development of education. The most important contribution is the new district-based strategy it commended for universalization of elementary education; this strategy operationalized by DPEP and its prog

Abstract:

What happens when we watch feature films or television dramas? Many of our responses to moving-image fiction texts embody “realism” or “truth,” but what are we responding to, exactly, and how is our notion of reality or truth to be understood? For film and media students and makers of moving-image fiction in new digital forms, the question of how to get a more objective, rigorous handle on realism has never been more important. The author of this book brings a lifetime of teaching film and media to bear on developing a new approach to analyzing the “realism” of the moving image: a set of seven

Chapter 1 provides an overview of the book and its two interwoven puzzles: what are the predictors of Americans’ trade preferences in today’s post-industrial economy, and why do so few politicians attempt to take advantage of these preferences? After providing historical context for American trade policy, the chapter outlines an answer: that the changing American economy has untethered traditional sources of trade sentiment, resulting in diverse, countervailing, and difficult to mobilize sources of trade sentiment. As a result, in most political districts, discussion of trade has fallen by the
