Public Relations for Colleges and Universities : A Manual of Practical Procedure
$13.27
Book
This book was originally published in 1946.
Many colleges and universities are becoming intensely concerned with their future prospects and realistically aware that their former casual, unorganized, and somewhat ineffective methods of making public contacts are inadequate. The necessity, not only for the acquisition of funds but also for the justification of the institution itself and its objectives, demands an effective, well-planned public relations program.
This book presents a sound and flexible public relations procedure for the establishment of a closer relationship between institutions of higher learning and the rest of the world.
Christopher Edgar Persons was Vice-President of McCann-Erickson, Inc. and a special consultant on public relations to Western educational institutions when this book was published.

Warriors, Merchants, and Slaves The State and Economy in the Middle Niger Valley, 1700-1914
$20.56
Book
Over the course of two centuries, the region of the Middle Niger valley of the Western Sudan was dominated by three successive states: the indigenous Segu Bambara state, the Islamic Umarian state, and the French colonial state. In each of these states, warriors were the rulers, and not surprisingly warfare was the primary expression of state power. The survival of each state depended on its ability to reproduce its capacity to make war; in order to do so, the warrior state intervened in the economy. In each of the three states, the interrelationship of warfare, the state, and the economy produced different results. How the state actually intervened in the economy and how this intervention influenced the structure and performance of the economy is the subject of this book.
During the 200 years under study, the regional economy of the Middle Niger valley expanded and contracted in response to the state’s capacity to provide conditions favorable to commercial development, capital accumulation, and investment. When the Segu Bambara state was able to control the autonomy of its warriors, the state encouraged the expansion of the regional economy. The Umarians, on the other hand, preyed upon producers within the region, and created conditions that discouraged long-term investments. The very success of the French conquest initially encouraged investment, especially in the form of slaves.
After 1894, however, conflict between civilian colonial authorities and the French military undermined the economic and social foundations erected by the military. From 1905 to 1914, slaves throughout the Western Sudan left their masters and helped once again to transform the structure and performance of the economy.

Coerced and Free Migration : Global Perspectives
$25.09
Book
This volume is an innovative history of major worldwide population movements, free and forced, from around 1500 to the early twentieth century. It explores the shifting levels of freedom under which migrants traveled and compares the experiences of migrants (and their descendants) who arrived under drastically different labor regimes.
The themes of the collection are structured around changes in migration regimes over time, as well as the implications of those changes for the source and host societies, and the migrants themselves. The central and unifying issue is the varying degrees of freedom in the different migratory regimes and what this meant in the long run. In the initial period covered by the book, freedom to migrate had steadily eroded, and migration itself became gradually more free only in the nineteenth century.
All eleven authors have widely acknowledged expertise not only in particular geographic or national branches of migration but also in more than one migratory or labor regime. The volume's wide geographical range incorporates the expansion of Europe eastward (under serfdom), as well as the extension of Africa and Europe westward across the Atlantic (slave, free, and indentured servant regimes), and movements from Asia and Africa by contract laborers. For the first time, experts on the various kinds of migrants have combined to address the issue of migration from the standpoint of the labor arrangement under which the migrants traveled. The result is a collection rich in comparative insights yet cohesive in terms of the issues addressed.
