2 Race, Class, and Gender

Race DecodedThe Genomic Fight for Social JusticeCatherine BlissIn 2000, with the success of the Human Genome Project, scientists declared the death of race in biology and medicine. But within five years, many of these same scientists had reversed course and embarked upon a new hunt for the biological mean-ing of race. Drawing on personal interviews and life stories, Race Decoded takes us into the world of elite genome scientists—including Francis Collins, director of the NIH; Craig Venter, the first person to create a synthetic genome; and Spencer Wells, National Geographic Society explorer-in-residence, among others—to show how and why they are formulating new ways of thinking about race.

“The ongoing debates about the role of race in biology, genetics, and clini-cal medicine have often produced more heat than light. Catherine Bliss takes us on a journey that is bound to illuminate an important and relatively unexplored feature of this phenom-enon—the ways in which leading scientists in these fields compare in their thinking about (and use of ) the concepts of race and ethnicity.”

Blinded by SightSeeing Race Through the Eyes of the BlindOsagie K. ObasogieIn Blinded by Sight, Osagie K. Obasogie shares a startling observation made during discussions with people from all walks of life who have been blind since birth: even the blind aren’t colorblind—blind people understand race visually, just like everyone else. Ask a blind person what race is, and they will more than likely refer to visual cues such as skin color. Obasogie finds that, because blind people think about race visually, they orient their lives around these understandings in terms of who they are friends with, who they date, and much more. So what does this mean for how we live and the laws that govern our society? Obasogie delves into these questions and uncovers how color blindness in law, public policy, and culture will not lead us to any imagined racial utopia.

“Blinded By Sight is a lucidly and crisply written exploration of how blind and sighted individuals understand race as a visual phenomenon, and how those understandings are reflected within society. This masterful work is sure to make an enormous contribution, and to provoke debate.”

People’s ScienceBodies and Rights on the Stem Cell FrontierRuha BenjaminPeople’s Science uncovers the tension between scientific innovation and so-cial equality, taking the reader inside California’s 2004 stem cell initiative, the first of many state referenda on scientific research, to consider the lives it has affected. Benjamin reveals the promise and peril of public participation in science, illuminating issues of race, disability, gender, and socio-economic class that serve to define certain groups as more or less deserving in their political aims and biomedical hopes. Under the shadow of the free market and in a nation still at odds with universal healthcare, the socially marginalized are often eager-ly embraced as test-subjects, yet often are unable to afford new medicines and treatment regimes as patients.

“Ruha Benjamin powerfully contests the autonomy of scientists and ar-gues instead for a radically inclusive public engagement in science. . . . A must read for students and scholars interested in science and society, as well as advocates for more democratic participation in cutting-edge biotech-nologies.”—Dorothy Roberts, University of Pennsylvania

3Race, Class, and Gender

Paint the White House BlackBarack Obama and the Meaning of Race in AmericaMichael P. JeffriesPaint the White House Black fills a significant void in Obama-themed debate, shifting the emphasis from the details of Obama’s political career to an understanding of how race works in America. In this groundbreaking book, race, rather than Obama, is the central focus.

Michael P. Jeffries approaches Obama’s election and administration as common cultural ground for thinking about race. He uncovers contemporary stereotypes and anxiet-ies by examining historically rooted conceptions of race and nationhood, discourses of “biracialism” and Obama’s mixed heritage, the pur-ported emergence of a “post-racial society,” and popular symbols of Michelle Obama as a modern black woman. In so doing, he casts new light on how we think about race and enables us to see how race, in turn, operates within our daily lives.

“A compelling cultural sociology of political power and state-of-the-art analysis of the Obama presidency and contemporary race relations in the United States.”

—Jeffrey C. Alexander, Yale University

Race MigrationsLatinos and the Cultural Transformation of RaceWendy D. RothBehind many current debates on immigration is the question of how Latinos will integrate and where they will fit into the U.S. racial structure. Race Migrations shows that these migrants increasingly see themselves as a Latino racial group. Although U.S. race relations are becoming more “Latin Americanized” by the presence of Latinos and their views about race, race in the home countries is also becoming more

“Americanized” through the cultural influence of those who go abroad. In this groundbreaking study of Puerto Rican and Dominican migration to the United States, Roth shows that several systems of racial classification and stratification co-exist in each place, in the minds of individuals and in their shared cultural under-standings of “how race works.”

“Roth’s superb study transcends the existing literature on migration and race by demonstrating how concepts of race and ethnicity are continually refashioned in a transnational space.”

When Half Is WholeMultiethnic Asian American IdentitiesStephen Murphy-ShigematsuIn this touching, introspective, and insightful exploration of mixed race Asian American experiences, Stephen Murphy-Shigematsu shares stories of people of biracial and mixed ethnicity. Across twelve chapters, his reflections are interspersed among profiles of these people and accounts of their journeys to answer a seemingly simple question: Who am I? With its attention on people who have been regarded as “half ” this or “half ” that throughout their lives, these stories make vivid the process of becoming whole.

“A beautiful book, a near-perfect bridge of genres, scholarly in its insights, but rich in stories and the voices of mixed-race, complicatedly Asian individuals. Murphy-Shigematsu tells their stories in prose that is like cool water running down hill. I read the book in one sit-ting, I will surely read it again when I need its wisdom, or when I just want to enjoy the company of Stephen Murphy-Shigematsu’s unique voice and his irenic spirit.”

White BoundNationalists, Antiracists, and the Shared Meanings of RaceMatthew W. HugheyDiscussions of race are inevitably fraught with tension, both in opinion and positioning. Too frequently, debates are framed as clear points of opposition—us versus them. And when considering white racial identity, a split between progressive movements and a neoconservative backlash is all too frequently as-sumed. Taken at face value, it would seem that whites are splintering into antagonistic groups, with differing worldviews, values, and ideological stances. This book investigates these dividing lines, questioning the very notion of a fracturing whiteness, and in so doing offers a unique view of white racial identity.

“Hughey demonstrates the depths and power of the centuries-old white racial frame in the minds of whites. Consciously and unconsciously, whites in both explicitly racist and openly antiracist groups make significant use of racialized social capital and white-centered identities, understandings, and meanings. This is a bold study by a savvy new talent in sociology.”

“Vallejo tackles an extremely important topic which others have not been willing or able to see—the rise of a Mexican American middle class. Chal-lenging prevailing views, this book fo-cuses not on predictions of downward assimilation, but on the real means by which children of Mexican immigrants are joining the middle class.”

Studies in Social Inequality

6 Race, Class, and Gender

BrokeHow Debt Bankrupts the Middle ClassEdited by Katherine PorterAbout 1.5 million households filed bankruptcy in the last year, making bankruptcy as common as college graduation and divorce. The recession has pushed more and more families into financial collapse—with unemployment, declines in retirement wealth, and falling house values destabilizing the middle class. Broke explores the consequences of this unprec-edented growth in consumer debt and shows how excessive borrow-ing undermines the prosperity of middle class America.

“Too many American families are deep in debt because their wages haven’t kept up, their jobs are van-ishing, and their homes worth less and less. It’s not only a human trag-edy for them but also a national problem as their debt burden hobbles the American economy and their inability to repay cripples lenders. What should be done? Here is a useful and insightful guide to policies that can help.”

Income InequalityEconomic Disparities and the Middle Class in Affluent CountriesEdited by Janet C. Gornick and Markus JänttiThis state-of-the-art volume presents comparative, empirical research on a topic that has long preoccupied scholars, politicians, and everyday citizens: economic inequality. While income and wealth inequality across all populations is the primary focus, the contributions to this book pay special attention to the middle class, a segment often not addressed in inequality literature. The research also casts important light on how economic inequality affects and is affected by gender disparities, labor markets, institutions, and politics.

Written by leading scholars in the field of economic inequality, all 17 chapters draw on microdata from the databases of LIS, an esteemed cross-national data center based in Luxembourg. The volume also trail-blazes new research into inequality in countries that have recently entered LIS or are in the pipeline: Japan, Iceland, India, and South Africa.

“This is one of the most important books on inequality published in the past decade. Focusing on what has happened to the middle class since the 1980s, during a period of substan-tial economic and political restructur-ing, this volume’s remarkable insights and influence will span disciplines.”

Determined to Succeed?Performance versus Choice in Educational AttainmentEdited by Michelle JacksonDetermined to Succeed? is the first book to offer a comprehensive cross-national examination of the roles of performance and choice in generating inequalities in educational attainment. It combines in-depth studies by country specialists with chapters discussing more general empirical, methodological, and theoretical aspects of educational inequality. The aim is to investigate to what extent inequalities in educational attainment can be attributed to differences in academic perfor-mance between socio-economic groups, and to what extent they can be attributed to differences in the choices made by students from these groups. The con-tributors focus predominantly on inequalities related to parental class and parental education.

“Following in the tradition of semi-nal works on comparative studies of education, Determined to Suc-ceed? offers an excellent assess-ment of social origin and educa-tional attainment. Important and innovative, the volume is sure to find wide influence and readership in the sociology of education.”

The book provides a welcome refresher course on how the ‘ownership class’ shaped major political decisions during the New Deal and beyond.”

The New Gilded AgeThe Critical Inequality Debates of Our TimeEdited by David B. Grusky and Tamar Kricheli-KatzIncome inequality is an increas-ingly pressing issue in the United States and around the world. This book explores five critical issues to introduce some of the key moral and empirical questions about income, gender, and racial inequality:

•Do we have a moral obligation to eliminate poverty?

•Is inequality a necessary evil that’s the best way available to motivate economic action and increase total output?

•Can we retain a meaningful democracy even when extreme inequality allows the rich to purchase political privilege?

•Is the recent stalling out of long-term de-clines in gender inequality a historic re-versal that presages a new gender order?

•How are racial and ethnic inequalities likely to evolve as minor-ity populations grow ever larger, as intermarriage increases, and as new forms of immigration unfold?

•Leading public intellectuals debate these questions in a no-holds-barred exploration of our New Gilded Age.

“The New Gilded Age is an essential vol-ume for scholars and citizens worried about the direction we are headed and the cost we will pay for inaction on the inequality front.”

On Making SenseQueer Race Narratives of IntelligibilityErnesto Javier MartínezOn Making Sense juxtaposes texts produced by black, Latino, and Asian queer writers and artists to understand how knowledge is acquired and produced in contexts of racial and gender oppression. From James Baldwin’s 1960s novel Another Country to Margaret Cho’s turn-of-the-century stand-up comedy, these works all exhibit a preoccupation with intelligibility, or the labor of making sense of oneself and of making sense to others. In their efforts to “make sense,” these writers and artists ar-gue against merely being accepted by society on society’s terms, but articulate a desire to confront epistemic injustice—an injustice that affects people in their capacity as knowers and as communi-ties worthy of being known.

“On Making Sense represents noth-ing less than a much needed generational shift in the practice of Queer Studies itself.”

The Ethnic ProjectTransforming Racial Fiction into Ethnic FactionsVilna Bashi TreitlerRace is a known fiction—there is no genetic marker that indicates someone’s race—yet the social stigma of race endures. In the United States, ethnicity is often positioned as a counterweight to race, and we celebrate our various hyphenated-American identities. But Vilna Bashi Treitler argues that we do so at a high cost: ethnic thinking simply perpetuates an underlying racism.

Tracing the histories of immigrant and indigenous groups—Irish, Chinese, Italians, Jews, Native Amer-icans, Mexicans, Afro-Caribbeans, and African Americans—The Ethnic Project shows how each negotiates America’s racial hierarchy, aiming to distance themselves from the bottom and align with the groups already at the top. But in pursuing these “ethnic projects” these groups implicitly accept and perpetuate a racial hierarchy, shoring up rather than dismantling race and racism.

“With her ingenious concept of ‘ethnic projects,’ Bashi Treitler brings a new optic to the study of race. She reveals why some ethnic projects are success-ful, others less so, and thus her book provides an authoritative answer to those who ask the tired question, ‘We made it, why haven’t they?’”—Stephen Steinberg, Queens College and the

The Eclipse of EqualityArguing America on Meet the PressSolon SimmonsSolon Simmons charts the course of American politics through the episodes of Meet the Press. On the air since 1945, Meet the Press provides an unparalleled record of living conversation about the most pressing issues of the day. In weekly discussions, the people who directly influenced policy and held the reins of power in Washington set the political agenda for the country. Listening to what these people had to say—and importantly how they said it—Meet the Press opens a window on how our political parties have become so divided and how notions of equality were lost in the process. Ultimately, Simmons looks to bring back to the debate the question lurking in the shadows—how can we ensure the protection of a peaceful civil society and equality for all?

“Simmons brilliantly distills 70 years of conversations on Meet the Press into an engaging account of America’s post-war political trajectory. With conserva-tives championing individual freedom and liberals promoting group rights, economic equality has largely disap-peared from our national conversa-tion. The Eclipse of Equality breaks new ground by uncovering the rhetorical roots of our present political malaise.”

Making Tea, Making JapanCultural Nationalism in PracticeKristin SurakAlthough few non-Japanese scholars have peered behind the walls of a tea room, sociologist Kristin Surak came to know the inner workings of the tea world over the course of ten years of tea training. Here she offers the first comprehensive analysis of the prac-tice that includes new material on its historical changes, a detailed excava-tion of its institutional organization, and a careful examination of what she terms “nation-work”—the labor that connects the national meanings of a cultural practice and the actual experience and enactment of it. She concludes by placing tea ceremony in comparative perspective, drawing on other expressions of nation-work, such as gymnastics and music, in Europe and Asia. In this rare journey into the elusive world of tea ceremony, Surak offers an insightful account of the fundamental processes of moder-nity—the work of making nations.

“A regrettable schizophrenia characteriz-es the study of nationalism, with macro and micro analysts rarely engaging rival views. Hence, Kristin Surak’s book is a theoretical breakthrough, showing the changing functions and social bearers of a single ritual over a long and trou-bled historical record. Elegantly written and extraordinarily argued.”

10 Theory Education and Society

University Expansion in a Changing Global EconomyTriumph of the BRICs?Martin Carnoy, et al.This is a study of higher education in the world’s four largest developing economies—Brazil, Russia, India, and China. Already important players globally, by mid-century, they are likely to be economic powerhouses. But whether they reach that level of development will depend in part on how successfully they create quality higher education that puts their labor forces at the cutting edge of the information society.

Using an empirical, comparative approach, this book develops a broad picture of the higher education system in each country in the context of both global and local forces. The authors offer insights into how differing socioeconomic and historic patterns of change and political contexts influence developments in higher education. This work situates a discussion of university expansion and quality in the context of governments’ educational policies and reflects on the larger struggles over social goals and the distribution of national resources.

“This is an essential book for understand-ing how the university system—the central institution of the knowledge economy—is both transformed by and transforming our increasingly global-ized world.”

Racialized IdentitiesRace and Achievement among African American YouthNa’ilah Suad Nasir

Most importantly, Nasir considers the implications of this for teaching and creating optimal learning environ-ments inside and outside of school.”

The Handbook of Rational Choice Social ResearchEdited by Rafael Wittek, Tom A.B. Snijders, and Victor NeeThe Handbook of Rational Choice Social Research offers the first comprehensive overview of how the rational choice paradigm can inform empirical research within the social sciences. This landmark collection highlights successful empirical applications across a broad array of disciplines, includ-ing sociology, political science, economics, history, and psychology.

Taking on issues ranging from financial markets and terrorism to immigration, race relations, and emotions, and a huge variety of other phenomena, rational choice proves a useful tool for theory-driven social research. Each chapter uses a rational choice framework to elaborate on testable hypotheses and then apply this to empirical research, including experimental research, survey stud-ies, ethnographies, and historical investigations. Useful to students and scholars across the social sciences, this handbook will reinvigorate dis-cussions about the utility and versatil-ity of the rational choice approach, its key assumptions, and tools.

“This volume provides a deep and wide-ranging review of the strengths, weaknesses and accomplishments of modern rational choice theory.”

The Latino ThreatConstructing Immigrants, Citizens, and the Nation, Second EditionLeo R. ChavezNews media and pundits too frequently perpetuate the notion that Latinos, particularly Mexicans, are an invading force bent on reconquering land once their own and destroying the American way of life. In this book, Leo R. Chavez contests this assumption’s basic tenets, offering facts to counter the many fictions about the “Latino threat.” With new discussion about anchor babies, the DREAM Act, and recent anti-immigrant legislation in Arizona and other states, this expanded second edition critically investigates the stories about recent immigrants to show how prejudices are used to malign an entire population—and to define what it means to be American.

Praise for the First Edition“In this tour de force volume, Chavez offers a penetrating analysis of how Latinos have been socially constructed as a threat to the American nation by bigoted political actors for their own cynical purposes and draws expertly on logic, facts, and reason to expose the mythical threat for the intellectual fraud and moral travesty that it truly is.”

The DREAMersHow the Undocumented Youth Movement Transformed the Immigrant Rights DebateWalter J. NichollsThe DREAMers provides the first investigation of the youth movement that has transformed the national immigration debate, from its start in the early 2000s through the present day. Walter Nicholls draws on inter-views, news stories, and firsthand encounters with activists to highlight the strategies and claims that have created this now-powerful voice in American politics. Facing high levels of anti-immigrant sentiment across the country, undocumented youths sought to increase support for their cause and change the terms of debate by arguing for their unique position—as culturally inte-grated, long term residents and most importantly as “American” youth sharing in core American values.

“Walter Nicholls tells the story of the courageous youth who ‘came out of the shadows’ to form an unprecedent-ed social movement to challenge stig-matization and advocate a path to citi-zenship. The DREAMers is a must read for anyone interested in how these new Americans fought for justice and their chance at the American Dream.”—Leo R. Chavez, author of The Latino Threat:

Governing Immigration Through CrimeA ReaderEdited by Julie A. Dowling and Jonathan Xavier IndaPresenting key readings and cutting-edge scholarship, this volume examines a range of contemporary criminalizing practices: restrictive immigration laws, enhanced border policing, workplace audits, detention and deportation, and increased polic-ing of immigration at the state and local level. Of equal importance, the readings highlight how migrants have managed to actively resist these puni-tive practices. In bringing together critical theorists of immigration to understand how the current political landscape propagates the view of the

“illegal alien” as a threat to social order, this text encourages students and general readers alike to think serious-ly about the place of undocumented immigrants in American society.

“Contrasting the chilling details of post-9/11 enhanced enforcement and inspiring efforts and citizenship practices of immigrants, this volume critiques the ongoing criminalization of immigration. It is required reading for all of us concerned with enforce-ment regimes that increasingly go far beyond their borders.”

12 Immigration and Transnational Perspectives

The Scramble for CitizensDual Nationality and State Competition for ImmigrantsDavid Cook-MartínIn The Scramble for Citizens, David Cook-Martín analyzes immigration and nationality laws in Argentina, Italy, and Spain since the mid 19th century to reveal the contextual dy-namics that have shaped the quality of legal and affective bonds between nation-states and citizens. He shows how the recent erosion of rights and privileges in Argentina has motivated individuals to seek nationality in ancestral homelands, thinking two nationalities would be more valuable than one. This book details the legal and administrative mechanisms at work, describes the patterns of law and practice, and explores the implications for how we understand the very meaning of citizenship.

“David Cook-Martíns The Scramble for Citizens has three remarkable qualities: it’s an innovative look at citizenship laws as shaped by interstate competi-tion, the best available account of southern European citizenship, and a stimulating diagnosis of certain ‘re-ethnicizing’ and ‘lightening’ trends of contemporary citizenship. Excellent!”

—Christian Joppke, University of Bern

“The Scramble for Citizens’ far-sighted analytical framework will become even more salient in coming years.”

Moving MattersPaths of Serial MigrationSusan OssmanMoving Matters is a richly nuanced portrait of the serial migrant: a person who has lived in several countries, calling each one at some point “home.” The stories told here are both extraordinary and increas-ingly common. Serial migrants rarely travel freely—they must negotiate a world of territorial borders and legal restrictions—yet as they move from one country to another, they can use border-crossings as moments of self-clarification. They often become masters of settlement as they turn each country into a life chapter.

Susan Ossman follows this diverse and growing population not only to understand how paths of serial movement produce certain ways of life, but also to illuminate an ongoing tension between global fluidity and the power of nation-states. Ultimately, her lyrical reflection on migration and social diversity offers an il-lustration of how taking mobility as a starting point fundamentally alters our understanding of sub-jectivity, politics, and social life.

“This deeply personal and subtle work both critiques and transcends the key concepts of writing about identity in recent decades.”

Life Behind the LobbyIndian American Motel Owners and the American DreamPawan DhingraIndian Americans own about half of all the motels in the United States. Even more remarkable, most of these motel owners come from the same region in India. They arrived in the United States with few resources, but, broadly speaking, they are now self-employed, self-sufficient immigrants who have become successful—they live the American dream. However, framing this group as embodying the American dream has profound implications and downplays the inequalities of race, gender, culture, and globalization immigrants continue to face. Despite their domi-nance in the motel industry, Indian American moteliers are concentrated in lower- and mid-budget markets. Life Behind the Lobby explains Indian Americans’ simultaneous accomplishments and marginaliza-tion and takes a close look at their own role in sustaining that duality.

“Pawan Dhingra has written a pioneer-ing book on the world of American motels and hotels. This is a people’s sociology of hotel work.”

Illicit FlirtationsLabor, Migration, and Sex Trafficking in TokyoRhacel Salazar ParreñasIn 2004, the U.S. State Department declared Filipina hostesses in Japan the largest sex trafficked persons in the world. Since then, the number of hostesses entering Japan has dropped nearly 90 percent; but Rhacel Parreñas argues that this drastic decline—which stripped thousands of migrants of their livelihoods—is in truth a setback. Working alongside migrant Filipina hostesses in Japan, Parreñas inves-tigates the impact of being labeled as trafficked victims and explores what governments should do to improve the lives of global migrants.

“With insight, brio, and compelling empirical evidence, Rhacel Parreñas offers a novel interpretation of Filipino hostesses working in Japan. Boldly departing from standard accounts that treat all migrant hostesses as equal victims of sexual trafficking, Illicit Flirtations presents a nuanced por-trayal of the women’s multiple labor and sentimental experiences. Scholars and policy-makers should take note.”

The Migration ApparatusSecurity, Labor, and Policy-making in the European UnionGregory FeldmanThe Migration Apparatus examines the daily practices of migration policy officials as they attempt to harmonize legal channels for labor migrants while simultaneously cracking down on illegal migration. Working in the crosshairs of debates surrounding national security and labor, officials have limited individual influence, few ties to each other, and no serious contact with the people whose movements they regulate. As Feldman reveals, this complex construction creates a world of indirect human relations that enables the violence of social indifference as much as the targeted brutality of collective hatred. Employing an innovative “nonlocal” ethnographic methodology, Feldman illuminates the danger of allowing indifference to govern how we regulate population—and people’s lives—in the world today.

“The Migration Apparatus makes major, cutting-edge contributions. The spe-cific arguments about circular migra-tion and the general arguments about how EU policy is made and works are fresh and exciting. An important book about an important topic.”

Current FlowThe Electrification of PalestineRonen ShamirCurrent Flow examines the history of electrification of British-ruled Palestine in the 1920s, as it marked, affirmed, and produced social, political, and economic difference between Arabs and Jews. Consider-ing the interplay of British colonial interests, the Jewish-Zionist leanings of a commissioned electric company, and Arab opposition within the case of the Jaffa Power House, Ronen Shamir reveals how electrification was central in assembling a material infrastructure of ethno-national separation in Palestine long before

“political partition plans” had ever been envisioned. Ultimately, Current Flow sheds new light on the history of Jewish-Arab relations and offers broader sociological insights into what happens when people are transformed from users into ele-ments of networks.

“In this strikingly original book, Ronen Shamir traces the electrification of 1920s Palestine by way of an expand-ing grid of wires and poles, technicians and officials, texts and images. How was it that the enterprise designed to connect Arabs and Jews in a single, all-Palestine system, ended up energiz-ing those very ethno-national divides, anticipating more thoroughgoing separations to follow?”

Back StoriesU.S. News Production and Palestinian PoliticsAmahl A. BisharaAmahl Bishara demonstrates how Palestinians play integral roles in producing U.S. news and how U.S. journalism in turn shapes Palestin-ian politics. U.S. objectivity is in Palestinian journalists’’ hands, and Palestinian self-determination cannot be fully understood without attention to the journalist standing off to the side, quietly taking notes. Back Stories examines news stories big and small to investigate urgent questions about objectivity, violence, the state, and the production of knowledge. This book reaches beyond the headlines into the lives of Palestin-ians during the second intifada to give readers a new vantage point on both Palestinians and journalism.

“Amahl Bishara breaks new ground in her exploration of Palestinian-Israeli-American dynamics of control, protest, and resistance. Her keen insights into the second intifada help us better understand two critical issues: what is happening on the ground in Palestine and how these events are being re-ported by the American media.”

Social Movements, Mobilization, and Contestation in the Middle East and North AfricaSecond EditionEdited by Joel Beinin and Frédéric VairelBefore the 2011 uprisings, the Middle East and North Africa were frequently seen as a uniquely undemocratic region with little civic activism. The first edition of this volume, published at the start of the Arab Spring, challenged these views by revealing a region rich with social and political mobilizations. This fully revised second edition extends the earlier explorations of Egypt, Morocco, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey, and adds new case studies on the uprisings in Tunisia, Syria, and Yemen. Inspired by social movement theory, the strong empirical base of these cases studies allows for a nuanced understanding of contexts, culturally conditioned rationality, the strengths and weaknesses of local networks, and innovation in contentious action to give the reader a substantive understanding of events in the Arab world before and since 2011.

“Protest in the Middle East and North Africa is not just a monopoly of Islamists. This volume juxtaposes Islamist activism with movements by workers, intellectuals, fem-inists, human rights activists, and others that don’t get much attention in the West, but which present a fuller picture of politi-cal and social upheavals in the region.”

Life as PoliticsHow Ordinary People Change the Middle East, Second EditionAsef BayatPrior to 2011, popular imagination perceived the Muslim Middle East as unchanging and unchangeable, frozen in its own traditions and history. In Life as Politics, Asef Bayat argues that such presumptions fail to recognize the routine, yet important, ways in which ordinary people make meaningful change through everyday actions. First published just months before the Arab Spring swept across the region, this timely and prophetic book sheds light on the ongoing acts of protest, practice, and direct daily action.

The second edition includes three new chapters on the Arab Spring and Iran’s Green Movement and is fully updated to reflect recent events. At heart, the book remains a study of agency in times of constraint. In addition to ongoing protests, mil-lions of people across the Middle East are effecting transformation through the discovery and creation of new social spaces within which to make their claims heard. This eye-opening book makes an important contribution to global debates over the meaning of social movements and the dynamics of social change.392 pp., 20139780804783279 Paper $22.95 $18.36 sale9780804783262 Cloth $70.00 $56.00 sale

Neoliberalism, InterruptedSocial Change and Contested Governance in Contemporary Latin AmericaEdited by Mark Goodale and Nancy PosteroIn the 1980s and 1990s, neoliberal forms of governance largely domi-nated Latin American political and social life. Neoliberalism, Interrupted examines the recent and diverse prolif-eration of responses to neoliberalism’s hegemony. In so doing, this vanguard collection of case studies undermines the conventional dichotomies used to understand transformation in this region, such as neoliberalism vs. socialism, right vs. left, indigenous vs. mestizo, and national vs. transnational. Deploying both ethnographic research and more synthetic reflections on meaning, consequence, and possibility, the essays focus on the ways in which a range of unresolved contradictions interconnect various projects for change and resistance to change in Latin America.

“This collection offers us a vivid pan-orama of neoliberalism and its interrup-tion, keeping in mind broader patterns of political economic transformation and civil society struggle. The chapters forcefully demonstrate neoliberalism’s investment in violence and regulation, while opening our eyes to civil society’s spaces to challenge them.”

Conservatives Versus WildcatsA Sociology of Financial ConflictSimone PolilloFor decades, the banking industry seemed to be a Swiss watch, quietly ticking along. But the recent financial crisis hints at the true nature of this sector. As Simone Polillo reveals in Conservatives Versus Wildcats, conflict is a driving force.

Using examples from the economic and social histories of 19th-century America and Italy, two decentralized polities where challenges to sound banking originated from above and below, this book reveals the collective tactics that conservative bankers devise to legitimize strict boundaries around credit—and the transgressive strategies that wildcat bankers employ in their challenge to this restrictive stance.

“This handsome study confirms the im-pression that Polillo is one of the most creative and interesting economic so-ciologists of a new and coming gener-ation. The book’s thesis—that finance means conflicts of various types—and the way this argument is presented are both exciting and innovative.”

From Social Movement to Moral MarketHow the Circuit Riders Sparked an IT Revolution and Created a Technology MarketPaul-Brian McInerneyIn From Social Movement to Moral Market, Paul-Brian McInerney explores what happens when a movement of activists gives way to a market for entrepreneurs. This book explains the transition by tracing the brief and colorful history of the Circuit Riders, a group of activists who sought to lead nonprofits across the digital divide. In a single decade, this movement spawned a market for technology assistance providers, dedicated to serving nonprofit orga-nizations. In contrast to the Circuit Riders’ grassroots approach, which was rooted in their commitment to a cause, these consultancies sprung up as social enterprises, blending the values of the nonprofit sector with the economic principles of for-profit businesses. Through a historical-institutional analysis, this narrative shows how the values of a movement remain intact even as entrepreneurs displace activists.

“This is an exceptionally engaging ac-count of how the visible hands of ac-tivists power the creation of markets.”

Anonymous Agencies, Backstreet Businesses, and Covert CollectivesRethinking Organizations in the 21st CenturyCraig R. ScottThis book offers a framework for thinking about how organizations and their members communicate identity to relevant audiences. Considering the degree to which organizations reveal themselves, the extent to which members express their identification with the organiza-tion, and whether the audience is public or local, author Craig R. Scott describes collectives as residing in

“regions” that range from transpar-ent to shaded, from shadowed to dark. Taking a closer look at groups like Earth First!, the Church of Scientology, Alcoholics Anonymous, the KKK, Skull and Bones, U.S. special missions units, Anonymous, men’s bathhouses, various terrorist organizations, and even certain small businesses, this book draws attention to shaded, shadowed, and dark collectives as important organiza-tions in the contemporary landscape.

“Scott’s analysis of organizational visibil-ity, secrecy, and identity extends the horizons of our understanding about the types and behaviors of organiza-tions in today’s world. To play on the central theme of the work, I find the book illuminating.”

Introduction to Criminal JusticeA Sociological PerspectiveEdited by Charis E. Kubrin and Thomas D. StuckyIntroduction to Criminal Justice is the first textbook to approach theories and practices of criminal justice from a sociological perspective. It empowers students to develop expertise in criminal justice and understand how its central tenants are informed by broader sociological principles and concepts, such as power, race, gender, and class.

This text is organized around five themes: justice, police, courts, cor-rections, and crime control. Offering both foundational and contemporary texts, theoretical and empirical discussions, and quantitative and qualitative approaches, the readings underscore the inextricable relation-ship between social structures and the criminal justice system. This comprehensive text will expose students to some of the best think-ing and research in the field.

“This exceptional collection of read-ings, and the thoughtful and engag-ing introductions by the editors, will contextualize contemporary debates and enrich class discussions about the societal institutions, structures, and ac-tors that together shape our criminal justice system.”

The Street Politics of AbortionSpeech, Violence, and America’s Culture WarsJoshua C. WilsonThe U.S. Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade stands as a historic victory for abortion-rights activists. But rather than serving as the coda to a comparatively low-profile movement, the decision mobilized a wave of anti-abortion activism and ignited a heated struggle that continues to this day. The Street Politics of Abortion is the first book to consider the rise and fall of clinic-front protests through the 1980s and 1990s, the most visible and contentious period in U.S. reproduc-tive politics. Joshua Wilson considers how street level protests led to three seminal Court decisions. The eventual demise of street protests via these cases taught anti-abortion activists the value of incremental institutional strategies that could produce concrete policy gains without drawing the public’s attention. Activists on both sides ultimately moved—often liter-ally—from the streets to fight in state legislative halls and courtrooms.

“On about as hot a subject as a scholar can take on, Joshua Wilson has sen-sitively and exhaustively shown how activists’ ‘stories’ about the law shape the everyday politics of abortion. Blending political science and sociology, this is modern legal scholarship at its very best.”

ZoolandThe Institution of CaptivityIrus BravermanZoos have their ardent supporters and their vocal detractors. And while we all have opinions on what zoos do, few people consider how they do it. Irus Braverman draws on more than seventy interviews conducted with zoo managers and administra-tors, as well as animal activists, to offer a glimpse into the otherwise unknown complexities of zooland.

Drawing on studies of the panopticon and pastoral care and the methods of science and technology studies, this books illuminates the project of governing zoo animals. And in so doing, it makes surprising intercon-nections between our understandings of the human and the non-human.

“Beautifully written, finely researched, astutely argued, Zooland offers a wealth of stories, data, and views to understand the potent work of zoos and their life-propagating messiness, astonishing technologies, and detailed ordering of their captive subjects deemed wild.”’—Donna Haraway, University of California at

Santa Cruz, author of  When Species Meet

“Braverman has written a great book about zoos, maybe the best ever.”

19Law and SocietyLaw and Society

Of Medicines and MarketsIntellectual Property and Human Rights in the Free Trade EraAngelina Snodgrass GodoyLooking at events in Costa Rica, El Salvador, and Guatemala, Angelina Godoy argues that human rights advocates need to approach intel-lectual property law as more than simply a roster of regulations. IP represents the cutting edge of a global tendency to value all things in market terms: Life forms—from plants to human genetic sequences—are rendered commodities, and substances necessary to sustain life—medicines—are restricted to insure corporate profits. If we argue only over the terms of IP protection without confronting the underlying logic governing our trade agree-ments, then human rights advocate will lose even when they win.

“Godoy admirably dissects the forces which have conspired to depoliticize both resistance to intellectual prop-erty expansion and the human rights rhetoric in which this is voiced. The book delivers insights that should transform advocacy scholarship; it should be widely read and acclaimed.”

Disquieting GiftsHumanitarianism in New DelhiErica Bornstein

“In a time when humanitarianism seems to have become a pre-rogative of the Western world, Erica Bornstein’s inquiry into philanthropy in India opportunely provides novel insights on charity. Reappraising an object which has become a classic in anthropology since the pioneer-ing study of Marcel Mauss, her rich ethnography reveals the complexity of the contemporary moral econo-mies of the gift.”

Values in TranslationHuman Rights and the Culture of the World BankGalit A. Sarfaty

“Why has the World Bank been so slow to take on human rights? This fascinating ethnography follows the movement of people and ideas within the Bank to show how human rights were ‘economized’ in order to be heard. It offers great insight into the way organizations work and into the cultural dimensions of law.”
