The Other Black Bostonians West Indians in Boston, 1900-1950


Free Download Violet M. Johnson, "The Other Black Bostonians: West Indians in Boston, 1900-1950"
English | 2006 | pages: 196 | ISBN: 0253347521 | PDF | 5,4 mb
This study of Boston’s West Indian immigrants examines the identities, goals, and aspirations of two generations of black migrants from the British-held Caribbean who settled in Boston between 1900 and 1950. Describing their experience among Boston’s American-born blacks and in the context of the city’s immigrant history, the book charts new conceptual territory. The Other Black Bostonians explores the pre-migration background of the immigrants, work and housing, identity, culture and community, activism and social mobility. What emerges is a detailed picture of black immigrant life. Johnson’s work makes a contribution to the study of the black diaspora as it charts the history of this first wave of Caribbean immigrants.

What I Do Not Believe, and Other Essays

Perplexities concerning Scientific Theories persist because the usual ‘singled valued’ philosophical analyses cannot do justice to the proble- matic features of so complex a semantical entity. The components of theories are like law statements, and like models and hypotheses, being conceptual entities which are used in a variety of ways – not all ofthese being always compatible with the others. Thus many physicists characterize the classical laws of motion, as if they functioned in a definitional way.! But sometimes these laws seem remarkably empirica1. 2 Others characterize such laws as ‘conventional’; they shape entire disciplines much as the rules shape the game of chess. 3 Law statements are not exclusively any one of these – definitions, factual claims or conventions. They are all these things.
