THE RISING BLACK ELITE: A MODEL AND AN ASSESSMENT OF CHANGE WITHIN THE BLACK MALE POPULATION FROM 1960 TO 1970.
Creator
WISWELL, CANDACE HINSON., Florida Atlantic University, Villemez, Wayne J., Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, Department of Sociology
Abstract/Description
The paper integrates the internal colonial model with the dual labor market perspective. Using data from the 1960 and 1970 Censuses, it assesses the impact of Civil Rights legislation on the education, income, and occupation distributions of black males. The findings are that the increase in blacks with college degrees has resulted in black males moving at a disproportionately high rate into upper level occupations such as professional, technical, management, and administrative occupations....
Show moreThe paper integrates the internal colonial model with the dual labor market perspective. Using data from the 1960 and 1970 Censuses, it assesses the impact of Civil Rights legislation on the education, income, and occupation distributions of black males. The findings are that the increase in blacks with college degrees has resulted in black males moving at a disproportionately high rate into upper level occupations such as professional, technical, management, and administrative occupations. This may be contributing to the growing inequality of income among blacks that has been noted in the literature. It also supports the position that the benefits from Civil Rights legislation will be greatest for blacks who were already relatively well off.

"Cash Money" and other stories.
Creator
Miller, Sheryl., Florida Atlantic University, Schwartz, Jason
Abstract/Description
The short story cycle unifies autonomous stories to create a larger narrative. In a similar manner, a type of money group called Sous Sous, also known as a Hand, Box, Meeting, or Partner, unifies individuals in a communal endeavor that gives a larger purpose to the venture of saving. The stories in this collection comprise a short story cycle that is unified, in part, by its explication of Sous Sous, which is common in black communities in America and the Caribbean and believed to have...

The stories in this collection comprise a short story cycle that is unified, in part, by its explication of Sous Sous, which is common in black communities in America and the Caribbean and believed to have origins in African culture. They share common characters and are also linked by a focus on money, materialism, or spirituality. Sequentially placed, most of the stories build on each other, creating a composite narrative.

Aquatic phobias permeated through African American culture, economics, and politics.
Creator
Groover, Jon Eric., Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, Department of English
Abstract/Description
This Project involves looking at African American culture as it relates to swimming, water safety awareness, and water skills. The paper explores the myths and cultural norms associated with drowning phobias in African Americans to discover the root causes. Through historic accounts of African American culture one begins to uncover reasons why this culture became, in a sense aqua phobic. The paper will show what water sport professionals are up against, when working with a culture that is...
Show moreThis Project involves looking at African American culture as it relates to swimming, water safety awareness, and water skills. The paper explores the myths and cultural norms associated with drowning phobias in African Americans to discover the root causes. Through historic accounts of African American culture one begins to uncover reasons why this culture became, in a sense aqua phobic. The paper will show what water sport professionals are up against, when working with a culture that is several generations removed from the water and their water skills. The ultimate goal is to draw attention to the importance of water safety and the ability to swim as a life skill.

Creator

Abstract/Description
Alternative models to explain the variability in income differentials. between Black males and White males over thirty-two Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas (SMSAs) were estimated by ordinary least squares using cross-sectional data for each of three points in time - 1950, 1960, and 1970. Two models were tested for each time period . The Becker-type model used a Black-White male median income ratio as a dependent variable with age, education, three occupational mix variables, and...
Show moreAlternative models to explain the variability in income differentials. between Black males and White males over thirty-two Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas (SMSAs) were estimated by ordinary least squares using cross-sectional data for each of three points in time - 1950, 1960, and 1970. Two models were tested for each time period . The Becker-type model used a Black-White male median income ratio as a dependent variable with age, education, three occupational mix variables, and current population as the independent variables. The second model used the same variables with the exception that current population was replaced by population lagged ten years. All variables were in Black-White ratio form. The results are of interest to the student of the economics of discrimination, since the methodology can be applied to the examination and comparison between any two categories of people.
