Main Street, Marion, and Miscegenation: The Warren Harding Race Rumor and the Social Construction of Race and Marriage

In the final weeks of the 1920 presidential election campaign, an eccentric college professor from Ohio, William Estabrook Chancellor, distributed a series of leaflets across the Midwest that claimed the Republican candidate and future president, Warren G. Harding, was racially “impure.” Much has been written about Chancellor, his racist theories, which were based on the “scientific racism” of the time, and his relationship to the Democratic Party. What has not been examined, however, is how his allegations about Harding were connected broadly to the social construction of whiteness in America in the twentieth century. In this context, the Harding race rumor is not at all a marginal moment in the history of the twenty-ninth president.

We are in danger of losing our way if we do not recognize the ‘dark side’ of technology and minimize its effects; and if we ignore the human and social dimension in the increasingly complex information systems which we are buildingJustamente ahora que comenzamos a plantearnos seriamente la sociedad de la información y la gestión del conocimiento, las presiones del mercado y de la tecnología militan en contra de la transformación de la información en el conocimiento y del conocimiento en sabiduría. Estamos en peligro de perder nuestra ruta si no reconocemos el lado oscuro de la tecnología y minimizamos sus efectos, y si ignoramos las dimensiones humanas y sociales de los sistemas de información que estamos construyendo y que resultan de una complejidad siempre creciente.
