King, Desmond S. Separate and unequal: Black Americans and the US federal government. Oxford : New York: Clarendon Press, 1995, xiv, 352pp., very good dust-jacket, very good dark blue cloth. Using extensive and original archival sources, Desmond King demonstrates in vivid detail how the American Federal government affected its Black employees for half a century. He documents how instead of thwarting segregated race relations, the Federal government participated in their maintenance and diffusion. This, the book's first major theme, is explored through detailed examination of Federal government departments and programs. The book's second major theme is that segregated race relations resulted in intense inequality for Black Americans. - CONTENTS: 1. The Politics of Segregation in Post-Reconstruction America -- 2.

Paperback. Condizione: New. The 2010 election serves as a bookend to one of the remarkable political periods in recent U.S. history. Amidst a profound economic crisis, Americans elected an African American to the presidency and massive Democratic majorities to Congress. Beginning in 2009, the President and Congress put forward a sweeping agenda to both address the economic crisis and enact progressive policies that liberals had been advocating for decades. Within a year and a half, they would pass health care reform and financial reform alongside a stimulus package of nearly a trillion dollars. Democrats also rescued the auto industry via a partial government takeover and expanded the Bush administration's incipient program for saving the banking sector by pouring hundreds of billions of dollars into it. Finally, the Obama administration dramatically increased our commitment in Afghanistan while simultaneously winding down our presence in Iraq.In Obama at the Crossroads, eminent political scientists Desmond King and Larry Jacobs have gathered some of the best scholars in American politics to take stock of this extraordinary period. Covering the financial crisis, health care reform, racial politics, foreign policy, the nature of Obama's leadership, and the relationship between the administration's agenda and broader progressive goals, this will serve as a comprehensive overview of the key issues facing the Obama administration as it entered office.…

Condizione: very good. Chicago : University Of Chicago Press, 1995. Paperback. 331 pp.Includes bibliographical references (p. 297-316) and index. - Why have both Great Britain and the United States been unable to create effective training and work programs for the unemployed? Desmond King contends that the answer lies in the liberal political origins of these programs. Integrating extensive, previously untapped archival and documentary materials with an analysis of the sources of political support for work-welfare programs, King shows that policymakers in both Great Britain and the United States have tried to achieve conflicting goals through these programs. The goal of work-welfare policy in both countries has been to provide financial aid, training, and placement services for the unemployed. In order to muster support for these programs, however, work-welfare programs had to incorporate liberal requirements that they not interfere with private market forces, and that they prevent the "undeserving" from obtaining benefits. For King, the attempt to integrate these incompatible functions is the defining feature of British and American policies as well as the cause of their failure.English text.

Paperback. Condizione: New. The transformation of British local government into a new and complex system of local governance raises fundamental theoretical questions as well as empirical ones.
