At the end of his book - indeed, on the very last page of the postscript - Hodgson himself seems to succumb to this semantic confusion, for the first time invoking the phrase "liberal Left" to refer to his position (222). With I Wrong Turnings i , Geoffrey Hodgson has produced perhaps the most ambitious and comprehensive critique of major trends within the global Left - from within the Left - in recent memory.

The article presents a paper to be discussed at the meeting of the American Sociological Society that will be held on September 3, 1959 in Chicago, Illinois. The paper is designed less as a report on the history and the present state of the profession of sociology, than as a vehicle for raising questions about the problems facing the profession. The article mainly focuses on problems, not only those that may be acted upon collectively by the organized profession, but also those which each sociologist may face as a member of a college or university department and in various types of nonacademic employment. The paper conceives a profession to be a category of occupational role that is organized about the mastery of and fiduciary responsibility for any important segment of a society's cultural tradition, including responsibility for its perpetuation and for its further development. In addition, a profession may have responsibility for the application of its knowledge in practical situations. Roles are organized into collectivities. Professional roles are organized into two main kinds of collectivity including those in which the professional functions themselves and professional associations.

Don Hayner has produced an important biography of a true Black Chicago legend, Jesse Binga. One of the strengths of Hayner's book is his engaging depiction of how Jesse Binga subsequently evolved from a street peddler into Black Chicago's most prominent real estate broker and its first banker. In assessing this aspect of Binga's life, Hayner asserts that, rather than being influenced by political ideologies, Binga "was first and foremost a capitalist" (90). [Extracted from the article]

Like Weems, I hope that the life of Anthony Overton will "inspire a new generation of community-minded African American entrepreneurs in Chicago and elsewhere" (162) who will emulate Overton's achievements and avoid his failings. Overton's business empire fell on rough times in the 1930s, when the Great Depression and personal misconduct cost Overton much wealth, influence, and reputation. In I The Merchant Prince of Black Chicago: Anthony Overton and the Building of a Financial Empire i , historian Robert E. Weems Jr. offers a comprehensive biography of an important Black businessman who has largely faded in public memory. [Extracted from the article]

This scholarship demonstrates why Chicago was one of the central nodes, if not the central node, of the Black Arts Movement (BAM). It gives a real sense of the particularities of BAM Chicago, such as the roles that such gangs as the Blackstone Rangers, the Vice Lords, and the Gangster Disciples played in grassroots art initiatives. While the visual arts are the special focus of I Art for People's Sake i , it admirably covers the wide range of artists, activists, institutions, and artworks that made up BAM in Chicago.

Science concept learning occurs through engagement with modeling, explanation building, argumentation, and other so-called science practices. Scientists are no strangers to using evidence in their research, but in their teaching, too many resist evidence-based practices that are known to successfully address student performance and persistence disparities (M. Stains et al. 2018. McGlynn's guide is smart, thoughtful, and practical, yet it seems suited to a pre-pandemic world long passed, where the glaring inequalities of the world remained unseen, and faculty adoption of evidence-based practices was viewed as a good deed rather than a social and professional responsibility.

Cooley challenges those who view Chatham's Black residents as traitors to fellow Black Chicagoans and documents the active role Chatham's African American community played in the local fight against school segregation in light of White flight. The African American community's political economy of free-market capitalism and racist limits raised community tensions over the responsibility of its strivers to everyone else and created a "cynical black version of the American Dream" (6). In analyzing the paradox of the Black American Dream, Cooley's study focuses on the places where African Americans in Chicago established a middle class. [Extracted from the article]

Making Catholic parishes Mexican 978 0 252 08483 3 Deborah Kanter's compact, useful book examines Mexican-American Catholicism by focusing on two historic Chicago parish communities. One sign of its emerging presence appeared in the 1960s when clergymen in charge of several large parishes originally built for Bohemian (Czech), Lithuanian and Polish immigrants began to introduce, undoubtedly with archdiocesan approval, special Spanish-language masses to serve its newcomers.
