This is a long overdue book- since completing my dissertation thirty years ago, I have wanted to have a full description and explanation of The Segregated Origins of
scientists, social workers, and students of policymaking a detailed reading of
primary sources by those men and women instrumental in shaping and enacting
the first four programs of the 1935 Social Security Act-Grants to States for Old
Age Assistance (Title I), Federal Old-Age Benefits (Title II), Grants to States for
Unemployment Compensation Administration (Title III), and Grants to States
for Aid to Dependent Children (Title IV).
“African Americans were not denied the benefits of Social Security because
of the machinations of southern congressional leadership, as is assumed,” Poole
argues. “The Act was made discriminatory through a shifting web of alliances of
white policymakers that crossed regional and political parties … who genuinely
sought to build a fairer and better world, and devoted their waking hours to that
challenge, but whose vision was steeped in racial privilege” (p. 6).

The innovative nonprofit pairs with
South African experts to offer localized versions of its “some rights
reserved” copyright licenses soon
SAN FRANCISCO, USA AND JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA —
October 19, 2004— Creative Commons, a nonprofit dedicated to building a
body of creative work free to share and build upon, announced today
that South Africa is the latest country to join its international
efforts. Creative Commons copyright licenses, which are available at no
charge from the group’s website (http://creativecommons.org),
allow authors and artists to mark their works as free to copy or
transform under certain conditions—to declare “some rights reserved,”
in contrast to the traditional “all rights reserved”—thereby enabling
others to access a growing pool of raw materials without legal
friction. South Africa joins twelve other nations in the draft phase of
adapting the Creative Commons licenses; another nine nations already
offer localized Creative Commons licenses.
Led by the Johannesburg-based LINK Centre,
Creative Commons South Africa plans to adapt the copyright licenses for
use under South African law and to build local engagement with and use
of Creative Commons-licensed content. Andrew Rens, a former lecturer at
Wits University Law School, is leading the legal aspects of the project
while Heather Ford, LINK Centre associate, directs the overall South African effort.
“South
Africa is well-placed to pioneer developments in the field of
intellectual property law,” said Ford. “Through the Treatment Action
Campaign we have had huge success in gaining access to cheaper HIV/AIDS drugs. More recently South Africa has helped to lead a ‘development agenda’ at WIPO which aims to use knowledge as a tool for empowerment, rather than to deepen existing divides.”
Rens
says that South Africa’s innovative constitution has resulted in
dramatic changes to many areas of law affecting the transmission of
ideas including freedom of expression and access to information a
development with potentially interesting consequences for the local
enforcement of copyright laws.
South Africa offers unique
opportunities and poses unique challenges for the Creative Commons
model. Since the demise of apartheid, South Africa has emerged from
global isolation as a model for democracy around the world. With one of
the world’s most progressive constitutions and a Bill of Rights that
stresses individual freedoms, it is also a leader in African policy
development, and a champion for the causes of the developing world.
South Africa is, nonetheless, still a divided society. A small,
wealthy, relatively sophisticated population lives side by side with
and a large, unskilled informal population. Only 4 million of the
nation’s 43 million residents are online.

discussion on the local ‘porting’ of the Creative Commons licenses and
