Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In the last decade the scholarship on the twentieth-century African American freedom struggle has expanded to such an extent that it now encompasses a plethora of subdisciplines. This literature has made African American history a vibrant field, but it has also complicated and fractured the story of the movement so that it now defies easy comprehension. By contrast, Aimin Zhang's The Origins of the African American Civil Rights Movement, 1865–1956, provides us with a reassuringly neat narrative of a movement he sees as culminating in the “complete liberation of African Americans” (p. xvi). His thesis is that the underlying contradiction of white racism in the face of constitutional provisions for equal citizenship was the underlying cause of the civil rights movement. Furthermore, he maintains that African American migration to the urban North and South and the economic, social, and political developments brought about by the New Deal and World War II were the movement's catalysts. While he accuses American scholars of an “elusive” (p. xv) approach to white racism in contrast to his own presumably more direct attack, the argument he proposes is hardly a new one.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
