By Clement Cottingham Jr.
Contrary to William J. Wilson who focuses on industrial changes and itsconsequences for urban social structures, Cottingham examines the trajectory ofurban black civil society during its fitful transition out of a politically entrenchedracial/caste regime. In the 1930s, a vigorous, though severely segregated, urbanblack society emerged as southern migrants arrived in New Jersey's smallindustrial cities. As it was politically constructed, civil society was founded on a rigidsocial hierarchy through communicative interactions organized through blacknewspapers, churches, clubs and civic organizations.
With the race-based urban riots of the 1960s, this political order immediatelydissipated. As a consequence, the normative walls embedded in the interstices ofold black civil society immediately crumbled. In conjunction with economic changes,mutuality within the political realm—the integration of racial, class, gender, andideological hierarchies—was politically reconfigured in the 1970s and 1980s.
Urban black civil society now existed on a remade political terrain and operatedoutside the social norms previously embedded in the old regime. Powerful politicalforces jolted the social realm and spawned alternative communicative discoursesembedded within urban black civil society.
In an effort to salvage civil society in the 1980s, New Jersey's administrativeagencies deployed policy regimes to arrest an unfolding urban social order. In theface of surging black identities, interests, and social norms, state authority wasrestructured in schools, hospitals, and juvenile courts to discipline a subalternsocial order. As the politics of national political incorporation advanced in the 1990s,southern black migrants confronted entrenched barriers in their struggle for greaterjustice and enhanced social equality.

By C. Richard Peterson
Dick Peterson has written this book about the Eisenhower Fellows, and for the Fellows. He has chosen to focus on two very visible examples of the Fellows’ leadership and networking – the Irish Peace Process and ProyectoCities. As an active EF Trustee since 1994, Dick has become convinced that these models can be adapted and applied by Fellows around the world in ways that will make a real difference in their communities and regions. He is absolutely right. I am confident that his two case studies will serve as inspiration to many other groups of Eisenhower Fellows who are already working together to make a difference. Adrian A. Basora Adrian Basora is President of the Eisenhower Fellowships. He is a former U.S. Ambassador to the Czech Republic. Adrian was Ambassador to Czeckslovakia at the time of the Velvet Revolution which created a separate Slovakia from the Czech Republic. Dick Peterson has splendidly combined his experience as a CEO, his command of organizational development, and affection for Eisenhower Fellowships. The result is a fertile study of two of the most important team projects among Fellows, of which many more are latent around the world. Theodore Friend Theodore Friend, former President of Swarthmore College, and President Emeritus of Eisenhower Fellowships, was awarded the Bancroft Prize for his book on Philippine-American history, Between Two Empires. His other books include The Blue-Eyed Enemy and Family Laundry, a novel. Dr. Friend is presently a Senior Fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute in Philadelphia. His latest book, Indonesian Destinies (Harvard University Press, 2003) penetrates events that gave birth to the world’s fourth largest nation and assesses the continuing dangers that threaten its security.
