A comparative study of African American identity creation in antebellum New Jersey, 2015
Item — Call number MU Thesis Anc
Identifier: b7526648
Introduction [excerpt]
My thesis is an account of resistance by African Americans through structural inequalities and pervasive racism in early New Jersey. With a thorough understanding and explantion of a structural racism, I have been able to explain a portion of the experiences felt by the 19th century African American community of Fair Haven. This experience can be largely understood by analyzing the racial and class differences between the economically dominant community and the less wealthy. Members of...

A game of failure : the 1994-95 Major League Baseball strike, 2014
Item — Call number MU Thesis Eck
Identifier: b7667126
Introduction [excerpts]
Chapter 1 of this paper will examine the past history of baseball labor relations, from the earliest days of the players' unsuccessful attempts to unionize, early days of player free agency, and labor schisms that led to significant work stoppages in 1972 and 1981. The late 1980s would see collusion by team owners to keep player salaries down, as well as the eventual installation of one of their own, Bud Selig, as commissioner. The effect was to set players and owners upon an unavoidable...

Item — Call number MU Thesis Sha
Identifier: b2089519
Introduction [excerpts]
The universal Jewish tradition of righteousness, Tzedakah, required American Jews to help their Eastern European and Russian cousins, and establish these impoverished unwashed newcomers as self-supporting, productive members of the greater American community. In addition, the social reforms that were taking root in the United States between 1881 and 1914, especially the belief that unskilled, illiterate immigrants could be transformed into productive...

Aphra Behn and Eliza Haywood : contributors to the development of the novel in English, 2004
Item — Call number MU Thesis Wil
Identifier: b2087641
Introduction [excerpt]
This paper argues that the history of the novel is a huge endeavor that needs to recognize and evaluate both male- and female-authored novels to be valid and complete. While it is true that this is massive project that would require years of research and study (which, at this time, is not feasible for the author of this paper), it is an endeavor that needs to be completed to truly understand the development of the novel in English. As a step in that direction, this paper shows that Behn...

Benefits and complications of creating a service-learning archaeology project with descendent communities and public schools : a projection of a model to be employed at the Brotherton Reservation, Burlington County, New Jersey, 2019
Item — Call number MU Thesis Han
Identifier: b7929308
Abstract
My philosophy as both a student and an educator is rooted in the belief that it is essential for everybody to be more involved in and knowledgeable about the history present in their own communities. For centuries, the remains of the Brotherton Reservation have existed in the Pinelands, unbeknownst to most New Jersey residents. Creating a community-based service-learning archaeology project at Brotherton involving Indigenous [sic] and local communities, as...
