I Saw Death Coming: A History of Terror and Survival in the War Against Reconstruction

Kidada E. Williams
Dr. Trevon D LoganDr. Trevon D Logan

Just finished reading @KidadaEWilliams “I Saw Death Coming” and it is a MAJOR contribution to the history of Reconstruction. It adds important dimensions to the narrative and takes us away from the concept of “failure” and moves us to the (more accurate) concept of “terror” 1/N https://t.co/qfUNlOWocI

@dem8z Fabio Rojas's "From Black Power to Black Studies: How a Radical Social Movement Became an Academic Discipline" (JHU Press, 2010) comes close as a history of Black Studies departments, and we could always use more!

States' Laws on Race and Color

Pauli Murray
Dr. Trevon D LoganDr. Trevon D Logan

We also code up the great Pauli Murray’s “States Laws on Race and Color” (criminally neglected in economic history!) and find that non-discriminatory public accommodations were correlated with discriminatory (negative) and non-discriminatory (positive) state laws circa 1950. https://t.co/SfeWH73ufG

The Bell Curve: Intelligence and Class Structure in American Life

Richard J. Herrnstein
Dr. Trevon D LoganDr. Trevon D Logan

I’ll never forget Arthur Goldberger and Charles Manski’s review of “The Bell Curve” in Journal of Economic Literature. Why? They said Murray’s analysis was at times “worse than useless because it lead to false inferences.” So there’s that. He’s still spouting racist trash… https://t.co/gFEiMgD6ad

Unpopular opinion: "Just Above My Head" is James Baldwin's greatest novel. By a mile.

There are very, very few playwrights who would get me off of the island of Manhattan, but Lorraine Hansberry is definitely one of them. Seeing a major production of “The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window” is a major treat! https://t.co/AST3heGoau
