Tug-of-War: Political Mobilization and Access to Schooling in the Southern Racial State.
Werum, Regina E.
Sociology of Education, v72 n2 p89-110 Apr 1999
Examines mechanisms that influenced access to federal vocational programs in the pre-desegregation U.S. South. Explores how local political conditions affected training opportunities. Shows that access was shaped by racially segregated labor markets and that African Americans' access was shaped by the political dimension of the southern racial state. (DSK)
