Since the 1960s, Martin Luther King, Jr., has personified black leadership with his use of direct action protests against white authority. A century ago, in the era of Jim Crow, Booker T. Washington pursued a different strategy to lift his people. In this compelling biography, Norrell reveals how conditions in the segregated South led Washington to call for a less contentious path to freedom and equality. He urged black people to acquire economic independence and to develop the moral character that would ultimately gain them full citizenship. Although widely accepted as the most realistic way to integrate blacks into American life during his time, Washingtonrsquo;s strategy has been disparaged since the 1960s.The first full-length biography of Booker T. in a generation, Up from History recreates the broad contexts in which Washington worked: He struggled against white bigots who hated his economic ambitions for blacks, African-American intellectuals like W. E. B. Du Bois who resented his huge influence, and such inconstant allies as Theodore Roosevelt. Norrell details the positive power of Washingtonrsquo;s vision, one that invoked hope and optimism to overcome past exploitation and present discrimination. Indeed, his ideas have since inspired peoples across the Third World that there are many ways to struggle for equality and justice. Up from History reinstates this extraordinary historical figure to the pantheon of black leaders, illuminating not only his mission and achievement but also, poignantly, the man himself

A review essay on books edited by Edna Ullman-Margalit, The Kaleidoscope of Science & The Prism of Science (The Israel Colloquium: Studies in History, Philosophy, and Sociology of Science, Vols. I & II, respectively; Dordrecht: D. Reidel, 1986 [see listings in IRPS No. 46]). These volumes bring together highly diverse papers, greatly enhanced by their printed commentaries. Here, papers related especially to European ideas are summarized, including David Kohn's reconstruction of Charles Darwin's theoretical reasoning, & Martin Rudwick's account of a dispute among British geologists in the 1830s. Amos Tversky wrote on the "conjunction fallacy," in which people view a conjunction as more probable than either of its components. Of special interest in the second work are Frank Manuel's study of the role of scientists in European utopias, G. A. Cohen's restatement of Karl Marx's historical materialism, & Emanoel Lee's description of differential efforts in medicine during the Boer War. A. Waters
