From list-relay@UCSD.EDU Fri Sep 1 16:31:47 1995 Date: Fri, 1 Sep 1995 19:25:55 -0400 (EDT) From: "Bonnie Gugler (SOC)" To: socgrad@UCSD.EDU Subject: Classical Theory Texts I have been wanting to locate some classical theory books. I have a very weak background in theory, so go easy on me! Does anyone have any suggestions? No Foucault, please. Although he isn't "classical," I have read enough of his works to last a lifetime. :) Bonnie Gugler University of South Florida bgugler@luna.cas.usf.edu From list-relay@UCSD.EDU Mon Sep 4 18:52:56 1995 From: lichter@nicco.sscnet.ucla.edu (Michael Lichter) Date: Mon, 4 Sep 1995 18:51:36 +0000 To: socgrad@UCSD.EDU Subject: CFP: PSA 1996 in Seattle Here is a call for papers for the Pacific Sociological Association's 1996 annual meetings.

I am currently reading Durkheim The Division of Labor in Society and I am having a difficult time trying to understand where he is coming from because of all of the analogies that he is using. Can any one out there help or at least simplify what is being said. Also is there another theory book out that explains Durkhieim Division of Labor?

Roscigno" Greetings: Jacquline Johnson, Vincent Roscigno and I (Marino Bruce) are soliciting papers for sessions we are organizing for this years Southern Sociological Society meetings in Richmond, VA on April 11-14. The tentative seesion topics/themes for our sessions are listed below. 1) "Matrices of domination: Critical Issues Surrounding the Interaction of Gender, Race and Class." The session will include papers which focus on gender, race, and class as social constructs, the interaction of these various "axes of stratification", and corresponding social outcomes. 2) "When "Just-us" Reigns: Critical Perspectives on the Relationship between Crime and Inequality." This session will include topics dealing with inequality and its impact on crime and/or the criminal justice system. Papers dealing with the social construction of criminality, race, and social control would certainly be welcome as well. 3) "Building Bridges or Burning Them: Coalition Building in an Identity-Political Climate." The session is designed to encourage discourse about political, economic and social factors involved with social movement processes and outcomes. 4) "Inequality and the Powerful: Acknowledging the Role Played by the Movers and Shakers." The session is created to focus on elites (and dominant group members more generally) and the role they play in current global and more local inequality outcomes. How are they implicated in subordination and how do they benefit? Historical, empirical and policy-oriented papers are welcome. Individuals who interested in presenting in one or more of these sessions should let me know. All that would be rquired right now would be a short abstract (no more than 250 words) AND a long abstract (no more than 750 words) by MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 25.

Yet, when we talked to Xerox's >manager of public relations, he said that, while Xerox had increased its >exports to Mexico by 25 percent, this increase had >no material effect on employment at Xerox. > >An example of a large organization that has broken its pre-NAFTA promises is >the Petroleum Equipment Suppliers Association (PESA).

However, according to Sherry Stevens, >PESA's president, sales to Mexico have actually decreased 19 percent >since 1993.

Eduardo Lopez >predicted >that by 1994, we will be selling 4,000 to 5,000 cases to Mexico. >Unfortunately, under the lower peso-dollar exchange rate, all NAFTA tariff >reduction were effectively eliminated and the real price of potential exports >rose above pre-NAFTA levels. Thus, according to Mr. Lopez, the company has >stopped exporting to Mexico, resulting in the loss of one full-time and >seven >part-time jobs. > >In November, 1993, President Clinton predicted that if this trade agreement >passes, NAFTA, we estimate America will add another 200,000 jobs by 1995 >alone. However, the economic models used by the Administration and the >pro-NAFTA lobby to sell NAFTA to the American public, including the so-called >Hufbauer-Schott model, were methodologically flawed.

Young" <34LPF6T@CMUVM.CSV.CMICH.EDU> Organization: Central Michigan University Subject: Race, Racism and Poetic Genius To: GRADUATE STUDENTS IN SOCIOLOGY Mini-Lecture 30 in a series for graduate students in sociology sponsored by the Red Feather Institute and made possible by Central Michigan University and the Socgrad Network. Race, Racism and Poetic Genius. Those of you who will be teaching an Intro Course, Social Problems or Minority Relations may find this mini-lecture useful to your notes. One has to know a little bit about genetics, a bit about physiology and bio-chemistry and a lot about sociology in order to bring your students into some sensible understanding of what race is and what racism is. Let's begin. A. A bit about Genetics: There are 2.9 billion base pairs in the human genome; most people on earth have identical runs of these genes for most of the physical and physiological structures which make up the human body and its complex workings. There are some small sets of genes which are different in the larger genetic pool of the human species. These differences account for such things as the pattern of the ear lobe, the cross section of hair, the amount of melanin in the skin, the height, size of brain, shape of nose and a wide variety of emotional and mental abilities. It takes a lot of poetic genius to abstract and construct 4, 10, or 83 'races' out of the various clusterings of genes in the total genetic pool which exists at any one point in time. Most of the grounds for constructing 'races' is based upon visible features which have little to do with being/becoming a human being and fitting oneself into a given social life- world. B. There are, in fact, differences in I.Q. as measured by pencil and paper tests between those defined as 'white' and those defined as 'black.' There are several points for your students to consider when they hear/read/find evidence of these differences. 1. On any given measure, there is a huge overlap: height, skin shading, I.Q., hair, muscle articulation and so on. Racists look at hair, skin and nose and infer merit, ability or potential from them. One cannot look at another human being and infer particular characteristics from these distributions in a population. 2. One should not confuse between what is, in the way of human behavior and what could be under different social conditions. The major failing of quantification and positivism is that such methods do precisely that...and freeze all of human history in the moment of discovery. C. It takes a lot of work and a lot of power to construct races out of the very complex human populations now at hand after some 400,000 years of population cross-breeding...especially in those populations which come from/are in Europe, Northern Africa, North America and other regions around the world. The name we give to that work is racism; it is racism not race which is the source of most of the data found in the psych, soc, crim and social problems books. D. A bit About History of Racism in the USA: 1. Slavery existed in Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas long before the slave trade brought Afro-Americans to the Colonies. In North America, the Cherokee Nation held slaves and used their labor; Vikings took slaves; Chinese bought slaves; slavery has little to do with genetics; it is a political economy in which force is used to extract labor power from people. Law, religion and social science help. 2. Virginia passed the first laws making slavery legal...and giving slave owners the right to call on the state for help in controlling/keeping slaves...in 1619. These laws: a) rendered Afro-Americans as non-persons in law. b) prohibited testimony against whites c) forbid firearms d) prohibited contracts including marriage 3. The US Constitution established slavery in 5 clauses which together: a) defined a slave as 3/5ths of a white for census purposes [slave states wanted more Congressmen]. b) controlled taxation on slavery [since they were property and imported]. c) provided for the return of fugitive slaves. d) ended slave trade [not slavery] in 1810. Jefferson put that clause in; those of you who have seen the movie know why. e)authorized use of federal troops in slave rebellions...lots of them. f) the 3/4ths clause made it difficult to change Constitutional support of slavery. 4. From 1779 to 1861, most Supreme Court Judges were Southerns; many, including the most famous, Judge Taney, owned slaves. 5. Congress ended the slave trade in 1807...effective in 1810. 6. Missouri Compromise, 1820, prohibited slavery in territories and new states...except Texas...Texas was torn off Mexico and came into the Union in 1845 as a slave state. 7. 1857: Dred Scott Decision: Judge Taney ruled Scott a slave even though he was in a 'free' state. 8. 1858: Lincoln ran, in part, against Dred Scott and Taney. elected 1860 9. New York court ruled 8 'slaves' in transit were free. 1860. D. Social Context for anti-slavery: the northern states were rapidly industrialized; northern workers didn't want to compete against slave labor; northern capitalists didn't want to compete against southern mines, mills, factories and plants. Wm. Lloyd Garrison and a whole lot of other good Christians thought slavery wicked...Horace Greeley, ed. of NY Tribune called the Dred Scott decision '...atrocious, wicked, mean-spirited.' E. Lincoln issued Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 in part to subvert southern slave economy which was supporting South in the Civil War...with huge casualties in Northern Armies. F. 1877: Hayes elected President by electoral college in a deal with Southerns to end occupation by northern 'carpet-baggers.' Jim Crow Laws introduced...the state supported private exploitation of black labor; both southern owners and workers were pleased. Owners got cheap labor; workers got the best jobs. This meant that guns, clubs, ropes and fists could be used against anyone who resisted/rebelled against racist inequality with all the majesty of the law in support. Both the police, the militia and the KKK were only to eager to use violence in support of racism...lots of southern people disgusted and appalled but most stood silent at so much suffering. G. Major turning points in the transformation of the use of state power to institute racism in the USA in the next, exciting mini-lecture...stay tuned!

As of the ASA meeting held on August 19-23, we had 374 members. We need 400 members by september 30th to get another session on the program for next year. In the long run, the section is setting its sights on a membership level of 600 members by September 1996 (that would give the section 4 sessions on the program). If you have any questions contact Art Jipson (jipsonaj@muohio.edu), Martha Gimenez (Martha.Gimenez@Colorado.Edu) or Sara Schoonmaker (schoonma@ultrix.uor.edu). Please feel free to share this with other interested groups and individuals. I believe that the benefits and advantages of the section are well outlined in the section's information (taken from the section's brochure): MARXIST SOCIOLOGY SECTION > The Section of Marxist Sociology is concerned with developing Marxist > analysis as a method of scientific and scholarly research within sociology. > Marxist analysis is not seen as focused on a specific aspect of social life, > but rather as a method for analysis of the dynamics of social change, with an > emphasis on the interplay of economic, social, and political factors. This > method involves a dialectical interaction between theory, method, and > practice. > > The Section on Marxist Sociology facilitates the work of its members in > several ways.

Young" <34LPF6T@CMUVM.CSV.CMICH.EDU> Organization: Central Michigan University Subject: Race for Justice, Equality and Dignity To: GRADUATE STUDENTS IN SOCIOLOGY Last week, I began a series of mini-lectures on racism. In it, I made the points that 1) race is a social construct taken out of the incredibly complex human genome and made real by the use of a wide variety of political tools. 2) that the formation of the nation- state in the 13 colonies included the use of state power to support and reproduce racist relations. This week, I would like to highlight the major turning points in the historical quest for human dignity, equality and justice. There are many; together they make the case that racism is a social process which increases and decreases with truns and transformations in macro- economics. And, if racism is a social product rather than a biological product, responsibility for the effects of racism lays with human beings rather than with God or Nature. 1. The Landing of Columbus in the New World was the first major turning point of great significance in the unraveling of the sociology of racism. While there were many important consequences of the 'Discovery' of America, for our purposes, the development of an international slave trade was most noteworthy. Prior to the Discovery, slavery and slave trade were for the most part, cottage industries. A raiding party would take a few slaves home; a conquering tribe would enslave a whole village. Armies of an empire would enslave whole peoples. There was a buying and a selling of people enslaved so the market for human beings had long been established before Columbus. What was new was the transnational organization of the commerce. This system of production and distribution of slaves paralelled the development of the factory system in Europe; it was organized into a global business; people captured in Africa, sold in markets, tran- sported in specially designed ships and re-sold to retailers in the Americas...a very different business from the ad hoc slavery of the past. The teaching point here is that people were taken and converted into slavery regardless of personal differences; slavery and racism are socio-economic products, neither natural nor necessary. B. Social science began its unholy partnership with racism when a British Anthropologist developed the concept of race and used it, in his profound ignorance, to explain why Africans were the subject of slave trade rather than [as he supposed] Europeans. In point of fact, slavery knows no race, gender, ethnic or religious bases. As I noted in the first in the series, Scandanavians enslaved Brits, Franks and later Russians; Russians enslaved Swedes; Chinese enslaved other chinese; and those of us who are Cherokee can point to the large slave populations in North America long before Columbus. Again this was enslavement for use rather than enslavement for commodity markets. C. Parallel to the use of science was the use of old Testament law; Deuternomy made many provisions for the taking of slaves [go and utterly destroy and enslave those tribes which deny Jehovah is the message found there]...check it out before you go to class since some innocent Christian Youth will demand proof. D. The first Slave Laws were enacted in Virginia in 1619...as noted. E. The Republican Party was founded to oppose State's Rights in 1) Slavery, 2) Banking, 3) Commerce and 4) Transportation. The reason is simple; the emerging industrial and financial capitalism in the USA could not tolerate different laws from state to state...nor could Northern owners and workers compete readily with commodity slavery. The teaching point here is pivotal: racism exploded in the North as Northern workers found slaves as competitors for jobs...anti- slavery exploded in large part because of the lower labor costs; and in a very important part since some Northern ministers re- read Deuternomy and re-focussed upon the New Testament to find good moral reasons for the end of slavery [but not racism]. F. The Civil War was a major turning point in the quest for human dignity...whatever its immediate purposes, still it ended this profoundly exploitative and unjust economy in the USA. Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation still sounds a needed call to action. G. Three Amendments to the US Constitution turned the Proclamation into the Law of the Land...these amendments began the long process of transforming state power [and its monopoly on violence] from support of slavery to opposition of racism...the race continues. 1. The 13th Amendment prohibited slavery 2. The 14th Amendment conferred legal standing [social status] on former slaves [Later women tried to use the 14th but the Supreme Court rejected the effort to extend legal standing to women. It provided for equal protection under the Law and for due process in any legal proceeding...before Afro-Americans could be punished or murdered without criminal proceedings. 3. The 15th prohibited discrimination in voting rights...ignored until the 60's. H. Reconstruction: A short term effort to enforce the Constitution in the South; it ended in I. 1877: end of Reconstruction in a deal wh with Southern Electors which gave the Presidency to Hayes and the South to former slave owners...again, racism exploded not with any change in genetic structure of slave or slavemaster but with a social/human event. J. From 1877 to 1943, there were a whole series of Supreme Court rulings which ignored or supported racism not excluding the Hibayashi case in which the legality of the Executive Order from F.D. Roosevelt confirmed the imprisonment of thousands of Japanese- Americans, none of whom had ever done anything to warrant it. K. 1945 saw the first use of Civil Rights Laws [passed and ignored in 1875] to forbid use of 'color' to make Laws/Covenants. L. 1943-1970: The Golden Years of American Capitalism. The USA alone of all the major industrial nations survived WWII intact and had world markets to itself; the economy expanded, racism diminished, civil rights for women and Afro-Americans expanded. 1954: the Warren Court expanded use of the 14th Amendment; the Kansasity School Board was told by the Court that separate schools were inherently unequalFirst time social science was used on behalf of Afro-Americans. School ordered to integrate with 'all due speed.' 1954: Rosa Parks refuses to yeild seat to white male; a whole series of demonstrations, protests, sit-ins, and voter registration projects get under way...racism is politicized and dramatized by members of Black Churches and by a lot of Black college students. M. 1964 Civil Rights Act was passed as LB Johnson tried to win some legitimacy after the assassination of a popular Kennedy; Johnson from Texas, had a lot to prove to the liberals if it wanted another term in office...his 'War on Poverty' and his Civil Rights Laws were much more ambitious than was that of any prior president. The War on Poverty was lost over the next 30 years; the move toward Civil Rights and Social Justice put on hold for both Blacks and Women. N. Germany, Japan and other European nations rebuild economies; by 1970, the USA is losing more and more of its international economic hegemony...still very powerful but the costs of policing the world capitalist system without much help from Germany or Japan threatens the fiscal integrity of the federal government. O. Today: Today, most of the programs of social justice are being dismantled by a conservative Congress. Nixon had made an uneasy peace with USSR and China in order to expand into those markets; Reagan doubled the national debt in order to buy a thin and short term legitimacy. Bush began the retreat from civil rights and social justice, Bill Clinton tries/tried to patch it together but the realities of a system in which the State pays the hidden costs of capitalism [global policing, pollution, welfare for disemployed workers, educ ation for the children of the middle and lower classes, as well as police and prisons for the children of the underclass...all these costs exceed the declining tax base of the local and federal government. Something has to go; it cannot be profits since they are necessary to re-build an aging industrial complex and to build new factories and retail outlets overseas [McDonalds has built in more than 90 countries around the world]. So my generation benefitted greatly from the economic hegemony of American business; your generation will/is suffering the consequence of the loss of a near monopoly on iron, steel, auto, electronic, textile, cereal and cinematic industries in the world. The USA is still the biggest, most powerful economy in the world; it still employs 110 million+ workers; it still has the best educational system in the world; the best medical technology; the best transport and electronics capacity...it is just that sharing markets with other nation states is not possible within the logics and logistics of a really competitive capitalist system. Inequality is increasing on all major measures of quantity and quality of life indicators; housing, education, health and personal income. Next time: Race and I.Q.; some considerations of the data and the making of the data...and, before I end this series, I will offer some more affirmative/positive/optimistic lectures...the short version is that the long term trend is toward social justice, equality and human dignity. The race is far from over...with the help of a lot of others, I will help train you to get ready for it...it should be interesting.

For employers still deluded enough to think that the market is like it was back in 1965 it will serve as a rude awakening (Nelson notes the irony of him getting a job in 1969, the very year before the bottom fell out of the market) and, for job seekers, it will confirm your experiences, not something that will help you much maybe, but at least let you know you're not crazy. The essay is written explicitly to English-types (the MLA takes a beating in the article) but completely relevant to us--could we not just as easily substitute the AAR here: "the business as usual responses [of our professional organizations to the present job market woes] look more like structures for representation and containment than responses to a crisis." If anyone reads it, please let's talk about the accuracy of his assessment.

From list-relay@UCSD.EDU Sun Sep 24 04:51:33 1995 Date: Sun, 24 Sep 95 06:12:08 EDT From: "T R. Young" <34LPF6T@CMUVM.CSV.CMICH.EDU> Organization: Central Michigan University Subject: Managing a Spoiled Identity: Racism in the USA To: GRADUATE STUDENTS IN SOCIOLOGY Mini-lecture #32...the 3rd and final teaching lecture on racism in the USA. In the first of this series, I made two points that might be helpful to those grad students who have a section of Intro, Soc Problems and/or Minority Relations: 1) that the human genome is incredibly complex with all sorts of loose concentrations of genes out of which to construct any number of races, ethnic types or for that matter, genders. 2) that considerable social power and physical power is used to create races and to reproduce racism; these tactics are in the private sector now that the legal system no longer supports the creation of spoiled identities for so many people. In this last of the series, I would like to list a few general ways in which racism is created and, thereby, suggest how it might be dismantled. I will start with an economic factor, go on to symbolic interactional/culture devices and conclude with the role of religion in producing and dismantling the structures of racism we see all re-emerging after the heady years of the Civil Rights era. A. Kondratieff Curves: For the last two centuries, there have been a series of economic cycles named after the Russian economist who identified them around 1910. For purposes of the sociology of racism, one could make a strong case that racism increases on downswings of the K. curve and decreases on upswings. We have had several such 'depressions' in the USA since its founding; 1740, 1790, 1830, 1870, 1890 and 1930. We may be on the downside of such a curve now; racism might flare up as jobs, taxes, and take home pay make life more difficult for those who aspire to a middle class life-style. By the way, L. Frank Baum used two great ditches in the book version of the Wizard of Oz to refer to the depression of 1870 and 1890; the straw man stood for farmers who didn't have enough brains to vote for Wm. J. Bryan and the Silver Standard...see my mini-lecture on the Wiz for more. In the 1870 depression, Southern workers and owners alike supported Jim Crow Laws and reversal of the gains made when the federal troops and federal officials tried to institute the provis- ions of the 13th and 14th Amendments. In a deal to elect R.B. Hayes president, northern democrats agreed to pull out in exchange for southern electoral votes...Hayes was 'elected' president. The 1930 depression saw even more virulent racism with lynchings, police beatings and mob action to drive people defined as 'niggers' out of jobs, farms, homes, schools and to keep them out of churchs. The 1930 depression ended in the mid-40's with factories running two and three shifts; first to produce war goods with which to defeat Germany and Japan; then to meet consumer demand in the USA and around the world. The USA had the global market pretty much to itself since England, France, Germany and Japan had its infra- structure devastated by the war. Women, Blacks and children were put to work in those factories in wartime; some women returned home but a lot of Afro-Americans remained; they became the social base for the Civil Rights Move- ment in the 50's, 60's and 70's. By 1970, the infra-structures of other industrialized countries had been rebuilt; slowly the rate of growth of the US economy slowed; in the Reagan years, take-home pay was declining, capitalists were dis-investing in the USA taking jobs to Taiwan, Korea, Malaysia and Mexico were wages were 1/4 to 1/10 that of US workers. With this down-turn in the economy, one finds an increase in racist incidents, in street crime and in domestic violence...the concept of the Kondratieff curve is a powerful tool in locating the sources of racism. One should note there is considerable controvery about the curve; studies do not uniformly support connections of the sort I have just listed; Steve Box, a British sociologist, [recently deceased] studies some 20 research reports on the connection between crime and dis-employment; he found that while most made the link, about a fourth did not...but then Brian Berry, UTexas at Dallas, reports that both Kondratieff cycles and and Kutznets cycles [15 year ups and downs] demonstrated nonlinear dynamics; different findings in different time-space regions are entirely possible in complex nonlinear social dynamics...I'll give a lecture series on that before the year is out...I've done a lot of work on pomo phil of social science...a whole disk full for those who want it. B. The Social Psychology of Racism: Spoiling Self and Society. Goffman put forward the concept of the spoiled identity in his book, Stigma. When we were grad students at UColo, Paul Chassey and I wrote a paper entitled, Managing a Spoiled Identity: Black Muslims in Amer- ica. We made the point that it takes a lot of forcible sociali- zation and distorted symbolic interaction in order to put some many people in such spoiled identities as that of 'nigger,' 'coon,' 'mammie' or any one of a dozen such social identities into which people are forced. Teachers, police, judges, politicians, preachers and, yes, even parents and peers help fasten spoiled identies on people...but they is a sociology, a culture and an economics behind such work; in the case of women, it is the reproduction of patri- archy; in the case of Jews, it is the reproduction of bigotry; in the case of people whose genes provide some grounding for stereo- typing, it is racism...it is not race but racism which is at the bottom of the data we find in so many studies on crime, I.Q., and social class. C. I.Q.: I put this point 3rd because I don't want to elevate it to any greater importance than it deserves. The latest issue of Skeptic Magazine devoted most of its pages to I.Q.: I'd like to review the major points made and make a couple of my own: I will begin with an artical by Diane Halpern: The Skewed Logic of the Bell-Shaped Curve [pp64-71. She takes the 'findings' of the Herrnstein-Murray book, The Bell-Curve and, one by one, critiques them...I have modified and added to her arguments about the book...do read both the book and her critique for a more detailed presentation of each. I think you can trust the points I've made below in your own lectures; most came from mine. 1. I.Q. is important; it is multi-dimensional; the idea that one score tells you all there is to know about the genius of a person is a nonsense notion. I am dumb in musical and math but I am very smart in a lot of other ways; so are you; so is everyone. 2. When measured properly, I.Q. are valid measures of cognitive ability. Halpern makes the case all tests are culturally bound. In the previous article in Skeptic, Carol Tavris makes the case; when migrants took I.Q. tests at Ellis Island, 83% of Jews, 80% of Hungarians, 79% of Italians and 87% of Russians were found to be 'feeble-minded.' I.Q. is not/cannot be measured properly as long as racism, sexism, bigotry and ethnocentricism lurk about to spoil the scores and the sociology of it all. 3. Intelligence is mostly inherited; the question is how much. We don't know but maybe 80% is a good guess [my figure, not Hal- pern's. I estimate that poor nutrition in the underclass; black and white alike robs a kid of about 15 I.Q. points. Halpern makes the most important point that, as we go up the I.Q. ladder, environment makes more and more difference. For those of us who are severly retarded, not much can be done in terms of social policy; for those of us who have the potential a lot could be done to repair the harm done by racism, sexism and class position. 4. There is little or no connection between I.Q. and social prob- lems; poverty, crime, illegitimate births or idleness. Bright people make bright criminals; bright engineers are disemployed when Boeing loses military contracts; bright girls don't marry the men who made them pregnant if the men don't have/can't find a job. Those of us who own property, stock or get interest on investments are 'idle' apart from how bright or stupid we may be. 5. Many social programs don't work but not necessarily because people who get help are dumb as many claim who talk about I.Q. The point is that many government programs work well; those for the rich work much better than those for the poor; tobacco, wheat sugar and cotton subsidies work very well for those who get them. Cheap-jack welfare programs for poor people; indifferent health care for poor people, badly designed housing for poor people, public education full of racists and other such programs don't work well. Job training for non-existent jobs don't work well. Sending poor blacks to jail for street crime and sending rich whites to the Senate for corporate crime are programs which give one pause in judging the adequacy of federal and state programs. D. What is to be done? There are several lessons we can draw from all the controversy surrounding the question of I.Q., and from cross-cultural comparisions. 1. It is convenient to blame poor people for their own poverty when they are poor in the richest nation in human history. Too convenient; if we want to eliminate poverty, it is better to have equitable systems of distribution and production in the first place instead of cheap-jack and racist systems of re-distribution in the second place. Full employment, good schools, equal opportunity, adequate health care and decent housing in communities with adequate cultural amenities are the best way to eliminate poverty. This is a societal plan for the solution to these social problems. 2. The Black Church; especially the Black Muslims offers a cultural solution to the problem of racism to go along with the societal one above. The idea of a March of a Million Men in Washington this Fall is a case in point. If it happens it just might make a large difference in the personal motiv- vations and self-images of a lot of Afro-American men...do watch it and watch for other such efforts to change the matrix in which young Afro-American men and women come of age. 3. Interpersonal tactics; there are studies which suggest that teachers are very important in the self image of men, women, Afro-Americans and other human beings...one should take care to respect one's own students enough to teach them and to expect in the clearest possible terms that each of them can, will and must learn about the society into which they are born. Your role is crucial; you can reproduce racism and sexism or you can help dismantle it; you cannot be neutral in a racist sexist or class stratified society.

Young" <34LPF6T@CMUVM.CSV.CMICH.EDU> Organization: Central Michigan University Subject: Addendum to Mini-series on Racism To: GRADUATE STUDENTS IN SOCIOLOGY I omitted the most interesting point for critical/emancipatory sociology at the conclusion of the third and last mini-lecture. I had mentioned that I.Q. scores could be useful if properly done. Let's assume the present tests get close enough for policy purposes; then how might they be useful?? 1. Average scores across groups can be useful to guage whether we are organized to repress the potential of some set of people if the scores different significantly across those groups. 2. Average scores cannot be used to judge the potention of any single single person...one cannot know by looking at skin color or curl of a hair whether a person is going to be a fine musician, a great mathematician or a superb athlete...one must look at performance; 3. I.Q. scores can be used for a person to help decide whether to try out for music, math or engineering. 4. I.Q. scores should never be used against a person in a good and decent school, family, factory or church. 5. I.Q. has little or nothing to do with whether one is/can be a good and decent human being...high I.Q. can be used to do excellent villiany or to work hard for social justice. 6. The small differences scaled by I.Q. tests is greatly over-rated; the difference between the brightest anthopoid and the dumbest kid, in terms of intelligence is far greater that the difference between the dumbest kid and the most of us. 7. Use average scores to judge a society; to compare societies; to change societies if you must use them...
