ASSESSMENT OF "BLACK POWER" AND ETHNIC POWER WITH EMPHASIS SINCE 1950
Title
AN ASSESSMENT OF "BLACK POWER" AND ETHNIC POWER WITH EMPHASIS SINCE 1950.
Creator
MADDEN, GERTRUDE BRENNER., Florida Atlantic University, Marina, William
Abstract/Description
Black Power is still a very undefined concept. What it amounts to, after all the rhetoric is cut away, is a bourgeois, nationalistic, capitalistic, amelioristic, and gradualist reform program. It has all the options open to all ethnic groups in America at any time. Due to present conditions, however, these options are uncertain and blocked by greater obstructions. The options are capital accumulation, a higher degree of integration into labor organizations, a higher degree of participation in...
Show moreBlack Power is still a very undefined concept. What it amounts to, after all the rhetoric is cut away, is a bourgeois, nationalistic, capitalistic, amelioristic, and gradualist reform program. It has all the options open to all ethnic groups in America at any time. Due to present conditions, however, these options are uncertain and blocked by greater obstructions. The options are capital accumulation, a higher degree of integration into labor organizations, a higher degree of participation in the political arena, including coalition politics, various self-help schemes, advancement through higher education, and, most unlikely , some kind of revolutionary activity. Ethnicity is still a factor in the American social, political, and economic panorama. It can be either a hindrance or an advantage in the advancement of any minority group.

COLD WAR AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE AMERICAN RIGHT: THE DECLINE OF RIGHT-WING LIBERALISM
Title
THE COLD WAR AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE AMERICAN RIGHT: THE DECLINE OF RIGHT-WING LIBERALISM.
Creator
STROMBERG, JOSEPH ROBERT., Florida Atlantic University, Marina, William
Abstract/Description
The thesis investigates the paradoxical similarity of the foreign policy views of right-wing "isolationists" in the late 1940's and the early 1950's and those of comtemporary left-wing critics. Senator Robert Taft of Ohio, Representative Howard Buffet of Nebraska, and the publicists Frank Chodorov, Garet Garrett, Louis Bromfield, and Felix Morley believed that imperial American policy would continually risk war, and that centralization, militarism, staggering taxation, inflation and a...
Show moreThe thesis investigates the paradoxical similarity of the foreign policy views of right-wing "isolationists" in the late 1940's and the early 1950's and those of comtemporary left-wing critics. Senator Robert Taft of Ohio, Representative Howard Buffet of Nebraska, and the publicists Frank Chodorov, Garet Garrett, Louis Bromfield, and Felix Morley believed that imperial American policy would continually risk war, and that centralization, militarism, staggering taxation, inflation and a garrison state would inevitably result from taking the path of empire. As classical liberals, they saw the imperial impetus to stat ism as the major threat to libertarian values and, hence, opposed vigorous foreign policy. The Korean War was a watershed: most Rightists, even Taft, became Asian interventionists. The publicists, not needing to win voters committed to Cold War, held the old views longer. The rise of National Review contributed to the demise of right-wing anti-intervencionism. Contemporary libertarianism revives the old viewpoint.

Cold War comes to Ybor City: Tampa Bay's chapter of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee

The Cold War comes to Ybor City: Tampa Bay's chapter of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee.
Creator
DeBenedictis, Frank Steven., Florida Atlantic University, Marina, William
Abstract/Description
Fidel Castro's revolution had support from groups in the United States that saw the dictator in a different light than did the anti-communists who opposed him. The most prominent of these groups was the Fair Play for Cuba Committee, which tried to mend the break in US-Cuban diplomatic relations. The very active Tampa chapter existed in a city with a large Cuban-American and emigre population. It also existed in a Cold War environment, and was viewed similarly to other chapters by government...
Show moreFidel Castro's revolution had support from groups in the United States that saw the dictator in a different light than did the anti-communists who opposed him. The most prominent of these groups was the Fair Play for Cuba Committee, which tried to mend the break in US-Cuban diplomatic relations. The very active Tampa chapter existed in a city with a large Cuban-American and emigre population. It also existed in a Cold War environment, and was viewed similarly to other chapters by government anti-subversives. This organization ceased operations after one of its members was accused of assassinating President Kennedy. The assassination determined its legacy for decades to come. When government records on the Fair Play for Cuba Committee were declassified, the group could again be put into the perspective of the Cold War and Cuba.

TELEVISION AND POLITICS IN THE 1960'S.
Creator
CONNELL, RENNY MICHAEL., Florida Atlantic University, Marina, William
Abstract/Description
Television has become one of the most important influences in the nation's life, especially its political life. The ways in which television presented the news and in which political figures appeared, especially, the Presidents, became noticeably important in the 1960's. It was feared that domination of television by wealthy candidates would further weaken the democratic process. Although such wholesale capture of the electorate was not evident in the Sixties, it was regarded as a future...
Show moreTelevision has become one of the most important influences in the nation's life, especially its political life. The ways in which television presented the news and in which political figures appeared, especially, the Presidents, became noticeably important in the 1960's. It was feared that domination of television by wealthy candidates would further weaken the democratic process. Although such wholesale capture of the electorate was not evident in the Sixties, it was regarded as a future danger. Television news was remarkable for its saturation in the public, its power to calm the people in time of crisis, its conciseness, and the ambivalence with which people reacted to it.

GLADSTONE COOLIES OF BRITISH GUIANA
Title
THE GLADSTONE COOLIES OF BRITISH GUIANA.
Creator
LOVE, HARVEY BERNARD., Florida Atlantic University, Marina, William
Abstract/Description
This thesis explores the origin and the far reaching influence of four hundred indentured Indian agricultural laborers who were introduced into British Guiana in 1838. John Gladstone, father of the "perennial" Prime Minister, was the originator of the enterprise. He was one of the few subjects of Her Royal Majesty with the influence, wealth, and nerve to begin a new, and questionable, labor system so soon after the emancipation of African slaves in the British Empire. The ramifications of the...

John Gladstone, father of the "perennial" Prime Minister, was the originator of the enterprise. He was one of the few subjects of Her Royal Majesty with the influence, wealth, and nerve to begin a new, and questionable, labor system so soon after the emancipation of African slaves in the British Empire. The ramifications of the Gladstone coolies were historically important and world-wide in scope. Because of them the Government of the British Empire entered the coolie trade and made it one of its strong props.
