Inside one of the nation's most important works on race Two Societies: The Rioting of 1967 and the Writing of the Kerner Report studies the 150 riots that occurred throughout the country in 1967 and how this infamous report was written in only seven months and unanimously adopted by both Republicans and Democrats. Designed so that each chapter can serve as stand-alone account of some aspect about the report, its development, or the rioting, Two Societies also looks into why the rioting seemed to suddenly stop after Martin Luther King’s assassination. It assesses to what extent progress has been made at eliminating the “two societies” that the report warned about, and it compares 1967’s rioting to the disorders that occurred after George Floyd’s death in 2020. Given that so many of the subjects that the Kerner Report addressed (unequal economic opportunities, controversial police incidents, a lack of understanding about the existence and impact of racism, etc.) are identical to those that we struggle with today, Two Societies will not only be of interest to those who study or participate in creating policy but also those who want to know what happened then and what is happening now.

From a New York Times bestselling author, the definitive history of the Kerner Commission, whose report on urban unrest reshaped American debates about race and inequality In Separate and Unequal, New York Times bestselling historian Steven M. Gillon offers a revelatory new history of the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders -- popularly known as the Kerner Commission. Convened by President Lyndon Johnson after riots in Newark and Detroit left dozens dead and thousands injured, the commission issued a report in 1968 that attributed the unrest to "white racism" and called for aggressive new programs to end discrimination and poverty. "Our nation is moving toward two societies," it warned, "one black, and one white -- separate and unequal." Johnson refused to accept the Kerner Report, and as his political coalition unraveled, its proposals went nowhere. For the right, the report became a symbol of liberal excess, and for the left, one of opportunities lost. Separate and Unequal is essential for anyone seeking to understand the fraught politics of race in America.

Wherever You Find People' captures the compelling story of the Integrated Centres of Public Education (CIEP) in the Brazilian city and federal state of Rio de Janeiro. This unique but relatively obscure experimental educational project is a prime example of socially driven public architecture and a testament to ambition and forward thinking. The CIEPs were conceived in 1982 by Rio's State Governor Leonel Brizola (1922-2004), the anthropologist, author and politician Darcy Ribeiro (1922-97), and the eminent architect Oscar Niemeyer (1907-2012). Today a network of 508 CIEPs covers the entire state of Rio wherever you find people, you will find a CIEP. This new book is based on extensive interviews with key protagonists and richly illustrated with original sketches and annotated drawings from the Oscar Niemeyer Foundation archive, alongside visuals by Aberrant Architecture. It also features new essays illustrating how architecture can embrace the constraints and conditions of the modern world and engage creatively with the reality of today's social, political, legislative and economic boundaries. 'Wherever You Find People' contributes to a wider architectural discourse about the links between education, design and school building.

The Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC), also known as "Children of the 90s," is an unprecedented birth cohort study that, uniquely, enrolled participants in utero and obtained genetic material from a geographic population. This book describes the early work of the committee, from establishing the core ethical principles necessary to protect participants to the evolution of policies concerning confidentiality and anonymity, consent, non-intervention, disclosure of individual results, data access, and security. The book will be of interest to those involved in other cohort studies who want to understand the evolution of ethical policies as ALSPAC developed.
