Abstract

The civil rights movement required money. In the early 1960s, after years of grassroots organising, civil rights activists convinced nonprofit foundations to donate in support of voter education and registration efforts. One result was the Voter Education Project (VEP), which, starting in 1962, showed far-reaching results almost immediately and organised the groundwork that eventually led to the Voting Rights Act of 1965. In African American communities across the South, the VEP catalyzed existing campaigns; it paid for fuel, booked rallies, bought food for volunteers, and paid people to canvass neighborhoods. Despite this progress, powerful conservatives in Congress weaponized the federal tax code to undercut the important work of the VEP.

Abstract

Que font exactement les femmes et les hommes politiques ? Comment s'organisent leurs activités quotidiennes ? En quoi consiste le travail des dirigeants politiques ? Que savons-nous de l'emploi du temps réel de nos représentants ? Cet ouvrage propose de répondre à ces questions relatives à la vie des démocraties représentatives à partir d’une enquête de sociologie politique inédite menée entre 2010 et 2013. Cette recherche invite à une plongée scientifique au cœur du quotidien de la politique, un univers paradoxalement méconnu. L’exploration porte ici sur l’agenda personnel d’une élue française d’aujourd’hui, une vice-présidente de conseil régional. Le livre décrit ainsi de l’intérieur l’activité politique pour en saisir les mutations contemporaines : la rationalisation et la collectivisation du travail politique, l’importance de l’agenda comme instrument d’organisation et outil de communication, l’emprise croissante des technologies de l’information dans le travail politique, la saturation du temps de travail des élus, mais aussi la construction d’une plus grande disponibilité sur le territoire et d’une certaine transparence. L’enquête révèle enfin comment, en démocratie, les contraintes temporelles des trajectoires politiques personnelles affectent l’action publique, quand l’agenda finit parfois par être utilisé davantage pour préparer les conquêtes électorales futures que pour mettre en œuvre la politique dont l’élu a la charge.

Abstract

Founded by white males, the interracial cooperation movement flourished in the American South in the years before the New Deal. The movement sought local dialogue between the races, improvement of education, and reduction of interracial violence, tending the flame of white liberalism until the emergence of white activists in the 1930's and after. Thomas Jackson (Jack) Woofter Jr., a Georgia sociologist and an authority on American race relations, migration, rural development, population change, and social security, maintained an unshakable faith in the ""effectiveness of cooperation rather
