“Nobody is going to save the Negro but himself”: Black Conservatism during the Modern Civil Rights Era, 1945-1968

Brett D Russler (13163121) 27 July 2022 (has links)
<p>During the civil rights era, the two African American political traditions Black conservatism and Black nationalism substantively overlapped. Surveying the literature on Black radicalism and the long civil rights movement, however, mention of this, let alone of a well-articulated strain of conservatism within the African American community during the period, is few and far between. Understanding why Black conservatism has been left out of these conversations comprises my research question. I argue that it is the significant differences between the two ideologies that largely explain this. Namely, Black conservatives’ practice of condemning Blackness, whether during the civil rights era or today, answers why they are left out of the scholarship on Black nationalism and civil rights. It draws a sharp line between Black conservatives, not only from Black nationalists, but mainstream African American identity, too.</p>

James Madison's four accounts of the problem of faction

Hardee, Benjamin Dawson 28 April 2014 (has links)
James Madison wrote four accounts of faction, the most public and famous of which was Federalist 10. By examining all four accounts, I undertake to develop a more capacious understanding of the design and purpose of Madison’s vision for American constitutional politics than can be extracted from an examination of Federalist 10 alone. I attempt to collate the unique insights of each account of faction into a coherent unity, with special attention to Madison’s rhetoric. I conclude that the three least famous accounts of faction, correctly read, perfect and extend the account in Federalist 10 by offering a more candid window into Madison’s thought on human beings and the political life for which he thought them fit. / text

L'américanisation de la souveraineté : études sur la pensée politique de James Madison / The americanization of sovereignty : the political thought of James Madison

Sililo, Thando 15 November 2017 (has links)
L'émancipation de la pensée politique américaine de ses sources européennes était un processus à plusieurs facettes. Au cœur de ce processus d'émancipation intellectuelle des jeunes États-Unis était la notion de la souveraineté, qui doit être selon l'historien Gordon Wood considérée comme l'abstraction la plus important de la politique dans l'ère révolutionnaire. Un des contributeurs les plus important au débat sur la notion de la souveraineté était James Madison (1751-1836), surtout connu comme le père de la constitution américaine, comme l'auteur du Fédéraliste avec Hamilton et Jay et comme le quatrième Président des États-Unis. La thèse cherche à reconstituer la contribution de Madison à l'américanisation de la souveraineté en s'appuyant sur ses propres discours et écrits. Les analyses montrent qu'il proposait notamment une souveraineté à double face : quant à la dimension intérieure, il défendait l'idée d'une souveraineté limitée, qui s’avérerait dans sa forme spécifique comme une particularité : le constitutionnalisme américaine. Quant à la politique extérieure, il concevait en revanche une souveraineté plutôt illimitée et en plein extension, qui se développait au cours de sa carrière petit à petit à une conception largement en accord avec les postulats du système westphalien des États européennes. Pour éclairer les implications politiques pratiques de ce raisonnement, on peut formuler un « théorème de Madison », qui récapitule le rapport particulier entre souveraineté interne et souveraineté externe dans sa pensée politique : L'état libérale et sécularisé vit des conditions, qu'il doit garantir par sa politique étrangère. Cette reformulation d'une citation fameux du juriste allemand Böckenförde décrit non seulement la sensibilité de Madison pour la nature précaire de la liberté dans une démocratie constitutionnelle, mais aussi sa conviction que la probabilité de la violence des factions dans la république américaine peut non seulement être réduite par les remèdes républicains de la politique intérieure comme la constitutionnalisation, la démocratisation, la séparation des pouvoirs, le principe de la représentation ou la fédéralisation, mais aussi par les valves de sécurité fournis par la politique étrangers, notamment la disponibilité d'un grande nombre des terrains pour le développement du peuple américaine et les conditions commerciales favorables qui facilitent l'accès aux marchés étrangères pour les produits américaines. / The emancipation of American political thought from its European origins was a multi-layered process. The concept of sovereignty which was according to the renowned historian Gordon Wood the "single most important abstractions of politics in the entire Revolutionary era", was at the heart of this intellectual emancipation process in the early years of United States of America. One of the most important contributors to this debate was James Madison (1751-1836), a politician known as the father of the American constitution, revered as one of the authors of the Federalist Papers, alongside Hamilton and Jay, and remembered as the fourth President of the United States of America. The thesis aims to reconstruct the contribution of Madison to the Americanization of sovereignty by analyzing his speeches, essays and private correspondence. These analyses suggest that Madison proposed a double-faced concept of sovereignty. Concerning the internal dimension of sovereignty, he defended the idea of a limited sovereignty in the form of American constitutionnalism. Concerning the external dimension of sovereignty, he imagined a sovereignty without those limits and in continuous extension, an idea he developed during the course of his career into a concept which was in line with the postulates of the westphalian system of the European nation states. To illustrate the political implications of this line of reasoning, I suggest one can formulate a "Madison theorem" characterizing the particular link between internal and external sovereignty in his political thought: The liberal secularized state lives by prerequisites, that he should guarantee through his foreign policy. This reformulation of a statement by the renowned German jurist Böckenförde does not only describe Madison's consciousness for the precarious nature of liberty in constitutional democracies, but also his conviction that the probability of the violence of factions in the American republic cannot only be reduced by republican remedies in the field of domestic policy, like constitutionnalisation, democratization, the separation of powers, the principle of representation or Federalisation. But that the probability of the violence of factions can also be reduced by safety valves provided by foreign policy, like the availability of land for the development of the American people or favorable commercial conditions facilitating the access for american products to foreign markets.
