The Chronicle: 6/27/2003: Seeing Red "He was a pioneer in the development of labor history as a discipline, in moving it out of the economics department," says Nelson N. Lichtenstein, a professor of history at the University of California at Santa Barbara. Finding their research pillaged may have become a rite of passage for graduate students in labor history; it could also be a painful experience that left younger scholars feeling helpless. Such allegations were well known within labor history during the 1970s and 1980s, according to scholars in the field, including some who remain sympathetic to Foner. chronicle.com /free/v49/i42/42a01101.htm

Labor Left History The Labor Left was formed in the final days of the State Labor government when the Democratic Left subfaction, together with expelled members of the Socialist Left united with the Pledge unions. Labor Left candidates were successful in five safe seats, namely the four named in the deal with Labor Unity and Melbourne District. Labor Left gained nothing federally, but the LRA retained Andrew Theophanous in Calwell, and the Ferguson group gained Julia Gillard in Labor and retained Martin Ferguson (Batman) and Harry Jenkins (Scullin). www.angelfire.com /mac/laborleft/lleft07.html

Reader's Companion to American History - -POVERTY Some critics have argued that government programs have not been sufficiently extensive or adequately funded to achieve their goals; others have claimed that such programs were always designed not to cure the problem but to discipline and regulate the poor. Most settlers in the New World had to contend with at least periodic material scarcity, and unfree laborers (slaves and indentured servants) always lived near the margins of subsistence. Some see the poor as lacking the skills or the will to escape their condition; others see the economy as dependent upon the poor to provide a low-wage labor force for industry and agriculture. college.hmco.com /history/readerscomp/rcah/html/rc_070900_poverty.htm

Greenwood Publishing Group I1 Part labor history, part social history, part history of ideology, and part demographic history, Working with Gender is one of those rare books that transcend traditional academic categorization by discipline. Lindsay argues that wage labor became gendered as male because of transformations in the labor process, along with the concrete goals and values of individual Nigerian men and women, which were often influenced by indigenous and imported ideas about modernization. It points to the tensions and engagement between the practical strategies and ideological assumptions of various colonial administrators and African workers. info.greenwood.com /books/0325001/032500188x.html   (272 words)

275-30.txt Accordingly, Respondent's disregard for the provisions of its col- loctive-bargaining agreement impairs the basic labor policy of the nation as set forth in the Act. The undisputed and credible features of Donohue's ac- count are as follows: The sympathy strikers clause first appeared in a labor agreement binding on the meat unit negotiated for the period 1978-1981 between a multiem- ployer group, Associated Industries of the Inland Empire, and Amalgamated Meatcutters Union Local 494. And the dif- ference between the two theories of violation (threats of discipline in breach of a a no-discipline clause as opposed to discipline having the effect of causing a breach by em- ployees of a no-strike clause) is not merely superficial. www.nlrb.gov /nlrb/shared_files/decisions/275/275-30.txt   (272 words)

Reader's Companion to American History - -PLANTATION SYSTEM With the end of slavery, the system collapsed because former slaves refused to work in gangs or to accept labor discipline; planters therefore divided their land into small sharecropped farms. A new plantation system based upon wage labor, however, briefly appeared in the 1930s and 1940s, when planters consolidated their units to take advantage of New Deal agricultural policies. By the mid-eighteenth century, the slave population was growing by natural increase, thereby permitting owners to increase their labor force without buying more Africans. college.hmco.com /history/readerscomp/rcah/html/ah_069200_plantationsy.htm   (1043 words)

The Failure of the Global South in the Recent Global Trade Talks The Global South has failed to own up to the elitism in the poor countries whereby the select few prosper at the expense of the vast majority, and define labor rights, abolition of child labor, and environmental protection as goals to be strived for out of self-interest rather than as pandering to the west They will need to look at their own history and see that the changes they demand in the South were not achieved by fiat in their own countries, and they really can not claim to be particularly empowered groups in their own countries even today. Abstract economic theory should not have the upper hand as compared to the actual impact they might have on the ordinary people especially when no economist in his right mind will claim the academic discipline of Economics is anywhere near complete, if any discipline ever is, and that all the questions have been answered. www.geocities.com /bhagat266/c/gst355.html   (1164 words)

JOHN ROGER COMMONS AND HIS ECONOMIC POLICIES Commons also had the benefit of the files and records of Carroll Wright, a commissioner of the Department of Labor who was writing a history of labor for the Carnegie Institute. His mediocre performance seem to be due to a lack of intellectual discipline rather than a lack of ability. For example, Selig Perlman came to the U.S. intent upon studying the American labor movement so as to prove that Marxist theory was correct. www.sjsu.edu /faculty/watkins/commons.htm   (1164 words)

CHEYENNE AGAIN, by Eve Bunting Bunting's brief history -- a part-page at the end of the story -- makes it seem as if these residential schools, this kidnapping, forced schooling in manual labor, severe discipline, militaristic approaches was a thing of the long-ago past. Thus the total inadequacy of the little piece of non-fictional history Bunting provides at the end leads me to review Toddy's dedication. Bunting deliberately shirks that job, because there is no way to present any nice kindly pictures of this reality, 19th or 20th century, and she especially doesn't want to say this is not a long, long ago phenomenon, but one both recent and continuing. www.kstrom.net /isk/books/children/ch76.html   (2142 words)

Chronology on the History of Slavery 1619 to 1789 The strict discipline of nightly stowage is, of course, of the greatest importance in slavers, else every negro would accommodate himself as if he were a passenger. While white and red labor were used initially, Africans were the final solution to the acute labor problem in the New World. In fact, the first twenty "Negar" slaves had arrived from the West Indies in a Dutch vessel and were sold to the governor and a merchant in Jamestown in late August of 1619, as reported by John Rolfe to John Smith back in London. innercity.org /holt/slavechron.html   (2142 words)

Columnist discovers the heroic Colston The ALP, McGuinness notes, wants Colston out of the Senate so that it can “replace him with a loyal Labor hack who can be relied upon to vote as instructed and according to party discipline”. Mal Colston is: (a) the biggest rorter in the history of the Senate; (b) the biggest rorter in the present Senate, as far as we know; (c) a democrat (small d) being persecuted by malevolent totalitarians; (d) a nightmare from which John Howard and the people he serves would like to awake. Instead, he has two bob each way on whether voters vote for the party or the individual (perhaps meaning to suggest that Queensland voters chose Colston despite his presence on the Labor ticket, because they appreciated his seminal contributions to political economy, jurisprudence and accounting). www.greenleft.org.au /back/1997/272/272p15.htm   (1104 words)

Art2u: Keith Howard's Nontoxic Printmaking Printmakers have been severely criticized for lack of content due to the exorbitant amount of labor put into an image at the expense of "seeing" the image. Beyond just regarding non-toxic printmaking as a safer alternative to traditional processes, it should be regarded as a new printmaking discipline as it allows printmakers far more creative diversity and flexibility than most traditional forms of printmaking. This is the first time in the history of Lithography that the art of lithography, as practiced by printmakers, has been completely detoxified. www.art2u.com /news/nontoxic.html   (2271 words)

Amazon.com: The Corset: A Cultural History: Books: Valerie Steele The history, economics, and sociology of the Renaissance corset are discussed, along with the corset's unmistakable relationship to the earlier armor of Rome and the middle ages. Finally, Steele discusses women's corseting of the past relative to contemporary ideals of female youthfulness and thinness, some women's enthusiasm for various aspects of self-discipline and alteration, "the hard body," along with dieting, exercise regimes that intend the sculpting of the female body, and elective surgical practices such as liposuction. Steele explores the medical controversies that raged around corseting and tight-lacing, the considerable medical and feminist controversies of both the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, fashion history, theories of sexuality and politics, and their inevitable intersection. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0300090714?v=glance   (1968 words)

Austin v. Hopper During the Reconstruction era, chain gangs provided an alternative to rebuilding the penal institutions that were destroyed during the Civil War; they also served as a cheap form of labor. On May 3, 1995, the DOC Commissioner implemented a "chain gang" prison labor policy.

African American Studies We have required four courses not necessarily containing African American Studies content in another discipline in order to allow students to establish their competence in the discipline in question (e.g., History, English, Theatre, Political Science, Philosophy, etc.) and to enhance their subsequent marketability. The participation of African American Studies-affiliated faculty in other disciplines on student dissertation committees; and the course instruction within the tracks by core African American Studies faculty trained in the traditional disciplines will also assist the students in establishing competence in one of these disciplines.

Amazon.com: The Fourth Great Awakening and the Future of Egalitarianism: Books: Robert William Fogel Fogel argues that the egalitarian platforms of the third awakening have been more or less implemented--the condition of the poorest families in America, he suggests, has improved dramatically; the labor reforms that Social Gospelers called for have been written into law; many people have access to decent health care. Leaders in the fourth great awakening, he suggests, have emphasized spiritual, rather than material, equity--they are interested in redistributing "spiritual resources" and in helping Americans of all ranks become self-actualized (he identifies spiritual assets as "a sense of purpose, self-esteem, a sense of discipline, a thirst for knowledge"). Fogel's purpose is to provide "a framework for analyzing the movements that shaped the egalitarian creed in America." Throughout U.S. history, there have been several of these movements ("Great Awakenings") which help to explain all manner of major transformations. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0226256634?v=glance   (2480 words)

MyJewishLearning.com - History & Community: Trade Unions It was Barondess in 1890 who organized a strike of three thousand cloak makers, almost miraculously sustaining the discipline and morale of his fellow picketers through eight weeks of police brutality, strong‑arm goons, and economic deprivation and hunger. Barondess and other labor leaders then spent the next few years struggling to consolidate their union.

____Gender and the Carceral Society In the later history of the settlement, senior administrators toured the prisons of the mainland trying to persuade female prisoners to volunteer for the Andamans, promising them a better life, husbands, and a measure of state protection as far as their social position was concerned. Self-Supporters were convicts who had completed their terms of hard labor and close supervision, and were allowed to live and work under minimal restraint. If convict husbands colluded in their wives’ prostitution  (not an unlikely scenario, according to Birch), the segregation of convicts from the free would be compromised, creating “an intimacy...prejudicial alike to the maintenance of the distinction indicated and to relations in regard to discipline which it is so essential and desirable to enforce.” www.artsci.wustl.edu /~ssen/ConvictFamily.htm   (2480 words)

History of Skiing It was during the 1930's that alpine skiing became a popular European pastime, as ski lifts were invented that eliminated the labor of climbing a mountain before experiencing an exhilarating descent. Super G, A hybrid of Giant Slalom and Downhill, added a fourth alpine ski discipline when it was added to World Cup events in 1983, and the Olympics in 1988. The Alpine skiing disciplines of downhill and slalom came about with this new equipment, and the 1936 Winter Games in Innsbruck, Austria, saw the first introduction of an alpine ski event: the combined, which added a skier's results in both events. www.speedski.com /historyofskiing.htm   (838 words)

Smart Computing Encyclopedia Entry - George Bernard Dantzig George Bernard Dantzig is considered the father of linear programming, a discipline in operations research that uses mathematical techniques to derive solutions to problems in economics, military issues, transportation and business management. About his own accomplishments, Dantzig wrote a piece in the “History of Mathematical Programming: A Collection of Personal Reminiscences,” which stated, “In retrospect, it is interesting to note that the original problem that started my research is still outstanding—namely the problem of planning or scheduling dynamically over time, particularly planning dynamically under uncertainty. He worked for the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics in Washington, D.C. as a junior statistician from 1937 to 1939, and then he moved to the War Department (later called the Department of Defense), where he served as chief of combat analysis statistics from 1941 to 1946. www.smartcomputing.com /editorial/dictionary/detail.asp?guid=&searchtype=1&DicID=17460&RefType=Encyclopedia   (637 words)
