University of British Columbia Press The Equity Myth
Book SynopsisChallenging the myth of equity in higher education, this is the first comprehensive, data-based study of racialized and Indigenous faculty members' experiences in Canadian universities.Trade ReviewThe Equity Myth is a necessary book that draws on new and existing statistical and qualitative data to describe the routine reproduction of race inequities in the academy. As they undercut the prevailing image of the university as an ivory tower insulated from the rest of the social world and its ills, including colonialism and racism, the authors provide devastating evidence of the institutionalization of whiteness and the ongoing marginalization of racialized minorities and Indigenous persons in the academy. -- Elaine Coburn, York University * Canadian Journal of Political Science *The Equity Myth paints a bleak picture in which the hegemonic whiteness and patriarchy of the institution show remarkable resilience through lip service and tokenism. [...]On the other hand, it recommends possible concrete solutions[...]a must-read for anyone interested in the social sciences, in discrimination, or simply in being decent and well-informed human beings. -- Sylvie Vrackx * Canadian Literature *The Equity Myth brings to the surface tensions that racialized faculty widely experience but seldom formally discuss in their workplaces. These include pay inequity, unequal hiring processes, a lack of visibility for racialized faculty in the professoriate, Euro-centric curricula and racial discrimination.Until now, those tensions have been felt only in the abstract or anecdotally. Statistics Canada does not collect data on racialized minorities as part of the data it compiles on faculty and students at Canadian universities; nor do provincial governments collect such information. There has been recent change on this front from the University of Toronto and Ryerson University, both of which have announced in the past year that they would start collecting race-based data about their students. But no data exists on the effectiveness of university employment equity policies or policies against discrimination, despite their ubiquity across Canadian campuses. -- Jackie Wong * University Affairs *[G]roundbreaking new research led by York University Professor Emeritus Frances Henry puts Canadian universities under the microscope.

She skillfully shows the ideological dualities resulting from eugenic practices.... An excellent addition to the literature on eugenics and the history of science in Latin America. * Medical History *Race is the primary focus in Nancy Leys Stepan's fascinating account of the fortunes of eugenic ideas and policies in the racially mixed setting of Latin America.... Stepan has now made a significant contribution to an international picture of the development of race and population policies. It is particularly useful in showing the remarkable plasticity of racist discourses on reproduction. * Signs *Stepan's warning regarding the politics of scientific interpretation in the future seems most appropriate.... This is an important book, meticulously done, and will be of significant value to Latin Americanists (especially Brazilianists), to historians of science and medicine and to those concerned with the history of ideas as well as those interested in the rise (and fall?) of eugenics. * American Historical Review *This book serves as an important corrective to the myopic vision underlying much of the older historiography of the movement....

Williams presents a worldwide perspective, conscious that...Trade ReviewA long-standing student of social conflict—especially its ethnic and racial forms—for over half a century, Robin Williams, Jr., has produced a wide-ranging and stimulating work of synthesis. He brings together an immense body of literature, including a fascinating array of work on the nature of ethic and national identities.... While William's canvas is global and his approach is very much a multidisciplinary one, he focuses on a specific period of time—from 1945 to the early years of the 21st century. -- Christopher Dandeker * American Journal of Sociology *The Wars Within... is densely packed with valuable information, analysis and synthesis. Irrespective of diversity in areas of expertise or interest, anyone reading this book will find an amazing array of well-considered theories and research. Professor Williams is painstakingly careful to present the data in an extensive and well articulated discourse that provides the reader with an impressive view of positions and counter positions, whether economic, political, or social, regarding inter and intra state conflicts.... This is not a book to be lightly skimmed. It is a rich treasure house of information and perspectives, of considerations around both meaning and context relevant to the issue of wars within states, which are perhaps reflective of the wars within people, themselves. This book is another 'must have' fusion of important information, analysis, and synthesis. -- Dr. Shyrl Topp Matias * International Journal on World Peace *A geographically and conceptually comprehensive introduction to a complex subject. With his extensive use of ethnic conflict studies, particularly those of the last two decades, Williams shows the reader how much has been achieved in the field. * Choice *In The Wars Within, Williams provides a comprehensive review of research on ethnic conflict within nations. His coverage is broad in the range of topics covered, in the levels of analysis, in disciplines drawn from, and in geographical coverage; he relates these various aspects to each other in a coherent way.... While sociologists pay a good deal of attention to the sources of social conflict, they generally give less attention to ways to reduce it. This book should serve to stimulate further interest and research in both aspects of ethnic conflict. -- Martin Patchen * Contemporary Sociology *

Cornell University Press The Just City
Book SynopsisSusan Fainstein's concept of the "just city" encourages planners and policymakers to embrace a different approach to urban development, combining progressive city planners' earlier focus on equity and material well-being with considerations of diversity.Trade Review[Fainstein's] work deepens, enriches, and extends deliberative planning theory in complementary rather than antagonistic ways. Like the idea of justice itself, The Just City is not the last word concluding a debate. More important, it is a trenchant, penetrating, and reasoned contribution to precisely that discursive and contested, but necessary and fruitful deliberative process that fuels the hope for progress toward realization of the just city. -- Sarah J. Peterson * Journal of Planning Education and Research *The just city is one in which equity, democracy, and diversity are important considerations. This is in contrast with the city as growth machine. Fainstein examines three cities: New York, London, and Amsterdam. She provides a history of post–World War II planning and then focuses on fairly recent cases of development in each. Her goals, though modest, are important if growing inequality in urban areas is to be reversed. Recommended. * Choice *Susan Fainstein's book is the result of some 20 years of intense research and thinking on the subject of the 'just city,' and it seems likely to me to become something of a classic.... Fainstein's slightly deadpan style serves only to make her accounts more compelling. A recent history of planning in London, written with equality, democracy and diversity in mind, is really useful as a teaching tool. Here the Docklands development, Coin Street and the 2012 Olympics are placed under scrutiny, with the last of those three, perhaps not surprisingly, receiving poor marks on the grounds of equity not least because the 'huge expenditure involved took away resources from other parts of London and the country more widely without providing them any benefits beyond the glory of hosting the Games.'... She notes that there are two possible responses to the injustices illustrated by the book. The first is to recognize the impossibility of achieving even small amounts of justice within the dominant system of global capitalism. The second, which is one that Fainstein herself adheres to, is that much can be achieved through incremental change. The book's final chapter is therefore devoted to a discussion of policies that are conducive to social justice in cities. Her vision is of a world where market forces no longer dominate decisions about city planning and justice drives the world of policy. -- Flora Samuel * Times Higher Education Supplement *Table of ContentsPreface Introduction: Toward an Urban Theory of Justice 1.

Cornell University Press Policing Paris
Book SynopsisThe surveillance of immigrants and potential terrorists preoccupies leaders throughout the industrialized world. Yet these concerns are hardly new. Policing Paris examines a critical moment in the history of immigration control and political...Trade Review"After the First World War France replaced the United States as the leading destination for immigrants. Working through voluminous police records designed to identify and control hundreds of thousands of foreigners in Paris, Clifford Rosenberg reconstructs not only how a regime of intensive immigration surveillance was assembled but also how this regime came to serve as a mechanism for defining distinctions between citizen and foreigner, and between French and colonial. In Rosenberg's subtle and careful treatment, the policing of foreigners in the interwar years becomes the crucible less for Vichy than for the determination of identities in the modern welfare state." -- Michael Miller, University of Miami"Drawing on important files in Parisian police records, Clifford Rosenberg argues that the elaboration of record keeping about and control of immigrants in Paris in the interwar years was the first act in establishing the French welfare state. Policing Paris integrates current discussions of the bad treatment of immigrants from the colonial empire into a larger tradition of the reception of European foreign workers in France. Rosenberg gives us a nuanced and sophisticated treatment of the how and when of French racism against people from the colonies." -- Herman Lebovics, State University of New York at Stony Brook, author of Mona Lisa's Escort: André Malraux and the Reinvention of French Culture"Policing Paris displays an original and innovative way of approching immigration policy and French colonial power and practice through local history. This important book was very well researched.""This is political, social, and institutional history at its very best. Clifford Rosenberg transforms what is essentially a French story into a book that engages citizenship, the welfare state, immigration, and nationality in a global context. How the category of immigrant came to be defined, the legal rights (and lack thereof) that have attached to the particular status of foreigner, and the reasons for which immigrants have assimilated or not into their new homes are once again immediately relevant in Europe and the United States." -- Alice L.

But how are goals for achieving and maintaining diversity actually met? What is the role of students in this mission? When a university is committed to diversity, what is campus culture like? In Learning to Speak, Learning to Listen, Susan E. Chase portrays how undergraduates at a predominantly white urban institution, which she calls City University (a pseudonym), learn to speak and listen to each other across social differences. Chase interviewed a wide range of students and conducted content analyses of the student newspaper, student government minutes, curricula, and website to document diversity debates at this university. Amid various controversies, she identifies a defining moment in the campus culture: a protest organized by students of color to highlight the university''s failure to live up to its diversity coTrade Review"Susan E. Chase's focus on the narrative environment and the impact it has on the way students, especially, learn to speak and listen about diversity is a fresh perspective and an important reminder to all that context matters, and what we say and do (our narrative practices) shape and are shaped by it. As faculty and administrators, we have a critical role in creating and understanding that narrative environment. She also reminds us of the power and value of 'integrating academic and extracurricular' areas to strengthen learning and create change. After all, that is how our students live their daily lives . . . knitting the various pieces of the academy together."—Susan Murphy, Vice President, Student and Academic Services, Cornell University"Learning to Speak, Learning to Listen approaches the important issues of racialization and antiracist activism in an innovative way. While Susan E. Chase focuses on one college in particular, the dynamics she highlights have implications for many other college and university settings."—Nancy A.

Cornell University Press White FlightBlack Flight
Book SynopsisLife of a working-class neighborhood in the aftermath of white flight.Trade ReviewWhite Flight/Black Flight is a book worth reading—Rachael A. Woldoff puts the flesh on what are often our dry demographic discussions of population change in American urban neighborhoods. The book is considered, thoughtful, and provides a nuanced ethnographic interpretation of the decision about whether to stay or move when a neighborhood changes.... The strength of the book is in the stories of people who observed the transitions in their neighborhood as it changed its ethnic composition. Their stories are the stories of people dealing with the day-to-day interactions of living in changing neighborhoods. -- William A. V. Clark * American Journal of Sociology *Much has been written about neighborhood change and the process of white flight from urban and suburban neighborhoods. However, the white flight literature only documents a small part of a much wider process of neighborhood change. In White Flight/Black Flight the author makes attempts to redress the balance through an ethnographic exploration of longer-term change in one neighborhood. Woldoff demonstrates how initial neighborhood change as a result of a changing ethnic structure is only a small part of the story and that neighborhood transition is as much an outcome of class, income, and values as it is about race or ethnicity. Ultimately, what this book reminds us is that neighborhoods, far from being static entities that only change in response to large dramatic shocks, are actually entities in constant flux responding constantly to a barrage of small changes.... What this book demonstrates is that, while the study of neighborhood change in the United States has focused on white flight, the ethnographic study in Parkmont shows that class divisions and class flight are just as important. A broader approach such as Woldoff's is needed to reach a better understanding of how a neighborhood changes and how residents cope with that change. * Urban Studies *Rachael A. Woldoff tells Parkmont's seemingly common story in an uncommon way. Rather than focusing on racial change, Woldoff explores what comes next, as a few white residents who chose to stay ('stayers'), black pioneers, and African Americans who arrived later ('second wavers') formed a complex social system. In focusing on 'the cultural and social dynamics that occur in the aftermath of white residents leaving,' Woldoff sheds new light on contemporary urban communities and opens new fields of investigation.... Woldoff's close attention to interracial and intraracial relationships after Parkmont became a black community is White Flight/Black Flight's greatest strength.... It is a fine study that opens new questions for scholarly investigation. -- James Wolfinger * Journal of American History *Sociologist Rachael A. Woldoff has crafted a clever topic in her study of the impact of racial change in Parkmont, an unidentitfied U.S. Northeast neighborhood.White Flight/ Black Flight: The Dynamics of Racial Change in an American Neighborhoodasks what happens to a residential area after moderately prosperous African Americans, the pioneers, move into a majority white area seeking a better community life and integrated living, and are later followed by lower-class African Americans, the second wavers.. Woldoff's extensive use of the secondary literature should help expand our understanding of 'gentrification' beyond the simple black-white dichotomy. -- Keith A.

Cornell University Press New Deal Ruins
Book SynopsisPublic housing was an integral part of the New Deal, as the federal government funded public works to generate economic activity and offer material support to families made destitute by the Great Depression, and it remained a major element of urban policy in subsequent decades. As chronicled in New Deal Ruins, however, housing policy since the 1990s has turned to the demolition of public housing in favor of subsidized units in mixed-income communities and the use of tenant-based vouchers rather than direct housing subsidies. While these policies, articulated in the HOPE VI program begun in 1992, aimed to improve the social and economic conditions of urban residents, the results have been quite different. As Edward G. Goetz shows, hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced and there has been a loss of more than 250,000 permanently affordable residential units. Goetz offers a critical analysis of the nationwide effort to dismantle public housing by focusing on the impaTrade Review"New Deal Ruinsprovides an extensivley researched accounting of how the public housing program has arrived at this point, and a necessary primer for understanding the program's current circumstances and rather dim prospects...

Cornell University Press The Future of Us All
Book SynopsisBefore the next century is out, Americans of African, Asian, and Latin American ancestry will outnumber those of European origin. In the Elmhurst-Corona neighborhood of Queens, New York City, the transition occurred during the 1970s, and the area''s two-decade experience of multiracial diversity offers us an early look at the future of urban America. The result of more than a dozen years'' work, this remarkable book immerses us in Elmhurst-Corona''s social and political life from the 1960s through the 1990s.First settled in 1652, Elmhurst-Corona by 1960 housed a mix of Germans, Irish, Italians, and other white ethnics. In 1990 this population made up less than a fifth of its residents; Latin American and Asian immigrants and African Americans comprised the majority. The Future of Us All focuses on the combined impact of racial change, immigrant settlement, governmental decentralization, and assaults on local quality of life which stemmed from the city''s 1975 fiscal crTrade ReviewThis is a very optimistic book.... Sanjek's discussion of quality-of-life issues and the decline of manufacturing are especially important....

Cornell University Press Antler on the Sea
Book SynopsisAnna M. Kerttula, an anthropologist, offers a vivid portrayal of life in Sireniki, a Siberian village on the Bering Sea. Once a traditional Yup''ik community, it was by the final years of the Soviet Empire home to three cultural groups: the Yup''ik, native hunters of sea mammals; the Chukchi, nomadic reindeer herders who had been required by the state to turn their animals over to cooperative farms; and Russians of European ancestry enticed to the region by incentive programs designed to colonize the Russian Far East. Kerttula, who lived among the villagers for eighteen months, draws on her experiences to explore how each group''s beliefs and customs have transformed those of the other two. Her book shows the endurance of the indigenous cultures of Far Eastern Russia despite years of intrusion by the Soviet state.The author describes in rich detail how the Yup''ik, the Chukchi, and the Russian newcomers developed a sense of cultural difference because of their separate symbolic systTrade ReviewAnna M.

He addresses the question whether people of color can be racist, defines types of racism, and identifies debased and inappropriate usages of the term.Trade ReviewBlum's thoughts support his main argument: that calm, reasoned deliberation about injustices can give us the moral vocabulary we need to do better as a society. * Boston Review *Discussing various scholarly perspectives on the construction of racial categories, Blum calls for a balance between 'ridding ourselves of the myth of race' and understanding the role of race in social inequality and in history. * Publishers Weekly *Few topics are in such desperate need of clear analysis as the subject of race.... In this concise volume, Blum brings the precision of a moral philosopher to bear on this perennial American dilemma, with generally helpful results.... A fresh and important contribution to applied social philosophy, recommended for general readers, upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty. * Choice *In his informative treatment of the concept of racism, Lawrence Blum is most concerned with the dangers of over-appropriation.

Levine and Tamas Pataki have assembled an outstanding collection of essays by an impressively broad group of philosophers and social theorists. This is a stimulating and conceptually wide-ranging invitation to intelligent, philosophically informed discussion about the nature, sources, and implications of racism." -- Michele M. Moody-Adams, Director and Hutchinson Professor, Ethics and Public Life, Cornell University"Philosophers are good at making many and fine distinctions. When that does not undermine our capacity to see the forest for the trees, it is a great service to thought. Racism in Mind provides such a service at a time when it is desperately needed. All the essays in it are of unusually high standard. In this book readers will find the passion and moral seriousness its subject matter deserves, but also the sobriety and discipline that it seldom gets. To read this book is to embark on an intellectual adventure. At the same time, its rigorous attention to evidence and its hard-headed explorations of the psychological and social causes of racism keep readers close to reality. For this achievement its editors deserve high praise." -- Raimond Gaita, Professor of Moral Philosophy, University of London King's College"Racism in Mind is noteworthy for its focus on racism, rather than racial categories, the concept of race, or racial identity. The greatest strength of the book is its specialized, interdisciplinary combination of philosophy and psychology. It includes specifically psychological analyses not often seen in a philosophical study of racism." -- Naomi Zack, Professor of Philosophy, University of Oregon, and author of Philosophy of Science and Race

Johns Hopkins University Press Inside Agitators White Southerners in the Civil
Book SynopsisHow did the vastly outnumbered black Southerners in the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 60s succeed against a white power structure that seemed uniformly hostile? Contrary to widespread belief, argues David Chappell, a crucial role was played by "inside agitators"--white southerners sympathetic to the cause of desegregation.Trade ReviewDavid Chappell's new study provides fresh insight into the Civil Rights movement by shifting the analytical focus from the strivings of African-Americans to the crucial and little-understood role of white Southerners. Chappell explodes the convenient myth of the monolithic and homogeneous white South to reveal a society deeply divided over segregation. -- Kari Frederickson Southern Historian This well-written and fascinating account shows how important white moderates were to the success of the civil rights movement and how black leaders consciously made winning them over to their cause an integral part of their strategy. -- John E. Miller Historian Chappell is at his best in describing the dynamics which took place in various southern communities. He also examines the struggles between similar forces on the national scene, as carried on by various southern players within the Democratic Party, the executive office, and the Justice Department. -- Michael Honey Peace and Change Chappell's is a major piece of historical writing that will be of interest to general readers as well as to more specialized students of the Civil Rights movement in the American South. -- Neil Thorburn History Chappell's argument is insightful and worth serious attention. It makes particularly fascinating reading from the perspective of the 1990s. -- David R. Colburn Reviews in American History In this engaging work on Southern whites who sympathized with the Civil Rights Movement, Chappell argues that moderate whites, though lacking a moral commitment to civil rights, played a key role in the movement's success at both the local and national levels. Virginia Quarterly Review Chappell is to be commended for struggling with hard questions about historical causation. -- Robert J.

Book SynopsisWalker's narrative dramatically captures his pursuit and embodiment of the American dream.Trade Review“[A] spectacular debut. . . . A funny, poignant, thoughtful and exceptionally well-written memoir. . . . While delivering a thorough, personal take on race relations, opportunity, and privilege, Walker hooks readers with his prose and honesty, without plying for sympathy or playing to readers’ preconceptions.”—Publishers Weekly"I am a racist, Walker declares halfway through this thoughtful memoir, and much of the book is spent building up to and unpacking that statement. Born poor on the South Side of Chicago, Walker became an honor student, which made him vulnerable; and in defense, he succumbed to the urban undertow. A violent opening puts it all into play: drugs, sex, guns, gangs, and chance. But this is a feint; Walker pulls back from the salacious parts of his past to focus on his university education in Iowa City, his growth as a writer, his beginnings as a teacher, and the fairly banal struggles of being the rare black English professor at an East Coast college. The chapters alternate between his crime-filled youth and his increasingly egalitarian life of sushi dinners and awkward Kwanzaa faculty events, with the latter taking prominence. This will frustrate those looking for a gritty urban drama, but that's the point as Walker realizes his tale of black teenage delinquency seemed too cliched. This unique literary biography, however, is nothing of the sort."--Booklist“[Walker] has written an inspiring book about willfully redirecting his life. But this is also a larger story about racial self-consciousness. . . . As his book makes clear, racism of a sort—latent, systemic or otherwise—is a simple fact of life in America.

These contributions reveal the continuing impact and vitality of historical and collective memory, as well as the complex and enduring legacies of a school that still affects the lives of many Native Americans.The Carlisle Indian School (1879–1918) was an audacious educational experiment. Lieutenant Richard Henry Pratt, the school’s founder and first superintendent, persuaded the federal government that training Native children to accept the white man’s ways and values would be more efficient than fighting deadly battles. The result was that the last Indian war would be waged against Native children in the classroom.More than 8,500 children from virtually every Native nation in the United States were taken from their homes andTrade Review“By bringing together such a diverse range of voices—academics and non-academics, Native and non-Natives—to speak about the history and legacy of what remains the most well-known Indian boarding school, this book does us all a great service.

Ohio University Press The Book Keeper A Memoir of Race Love and Legacy
Book SynopsisDecades after Julia McKenzie Munemo’s father committed suicide, she learned that he made his living writing interracial pornography under a pseudonym. She hid the stack of his old paperbacks from her Zimbabwean husband, their mixed-race children, and herself before realizing her obligation to understand her racial legacy.Trade Review“A carefully crafted memoir for all readers who care about family connections and legacies and about multiracial identity in an increasingly complex world.” * Library Journal *“The Book Keeper is a fiercely felt memoir about family shame and the transformative power of love even as it’s also an ongoing meditation on privilege and race in twenty-first century America. This is a debut striking in its empathetic imagination, observational acuity, and emotional intelligence.”“In lucid and unadorned prose, Munemo gives focus to her powerful material, which feels essential to the larger cultural conversation about race in America. In tracing her own journey from reckoning with to ownership of her family’s past, she offers a unique and important perspective that I haven’t seen before in memoir. The Book Keeper does what the best nonfiction does: through a unique and deeply felt personal story, it brings larger cultural and historic threads to light with nuance and resonance.”“Julia McKenzie Munemo has written an extraordinary book: about love, inheritance, race, loss and revelation. By unpacking the story of her father’s past—as a writer of racially charged pulp fiction—she in turns unpacks the story of herself, her husband, and the future of her children. Rarely does one come across a story as intricately blended and obviously unified as Munemo’s. This story, neatly told, with keen narrative syncopation, stands not only as a multi-generational interrogation into a writer’s unfurling past, but also as a fable about the complexity of race in America.”“Julia McKenzie Munemo’s The Book Keeper is a generous, intimate love story across continents and cultures, as well as an incisive social commentary on America’s racial divide. What, The Book Keeper asks, can racial progress possibly look like in a country where white liberals so willingly put on blinders every day? And how, in these tumultuous times, can a mother of two black boys tell her children they are safe? This is an urgent, crucial inquiry into what it means to mourn and to forgive and to hope.”“In The Book Keeper, Julia McKenzie Munemo invites you to become her confidante in a thoughtful, open discussion of race, mental illness, and the tenacity of family bonds. Her thoughtful and intimate story elicits reflection, long after turning the last page, on the frailty of life and on the work and enduring strength of love.” * The Williams Bookstore *

In an important way, hers is a telltale reminder that multiculturalism, when it remains as empty talk, can easily become a cover for the deeper structural problems that reproduce social inequality." -- American Journal of SociologyTable of Contents@fmct:Contents @toc4:List of Tables and Figures iii Acknowledgments iii @toc2:1 Introduction: Culture to the Rescue 0 @toc3:The Myth of Omnipotent Culture 0 The Research 0 A Road Map for Cultural Change 0 @toc2:2 Professors and the Press: Definitions of Multiculturalism 00 @toc3:Multiculturalism in the National Arena 00 My First Interview 00 Making Sense of Multiculturalism 00 Four Themes 00 Meaninglessness 00 Diversity 00 Non-Diversity (Literary Value and the Anti-Canon) 00 Connections 00 The Heart of the Multicultural Lotus 00 Fighting Words 00 @toc2:3 Abstraction in Action: Departmental Multiculturalism 00 @toc3:Ivory Towers 000 State Star 00 Multicultural State 00 Cathletic 00 Organized Culture 00 @toc2:4 Taking Sides in Quicksand: Meaning, Abstraction & Ambiguity 000 @toc3:The Role of Meaning and Ambiguity in Stancetaking 000 Abstraction, Responsibility & Opinion 000 Prestigious Complexity and Public Support 000 Refinement: Multiple Meanings Lead to Mixed Opinions 000 @toc2:5 Boundary Disputes: The Cultural Territories of Academe 000 @toc3:The "crisis" in English literature 000 State Star 000 Ivory Towers 000 Multicultural State 000 Cathletic University 000 Conclusion 000 @toc2:6 Managing Multiculturalism: Curriculum Strategies for Reducing Conflict 000 @toc3:Curricular Battlegrounds 000 Ivory Towers 000 State Star 000 MC State 000 Cathletic University 000 Conflict and the Curriculum 000 @toc2:7 Conclusion: Culture to Blame 000 @toc3:A Policy Response to Bad Culture 000 Powerful Abstractions 000 Radical Change Requires Structure 000 Racist Structures 000 Beyond Socialization: Speaking Truth to Structure 000 Translating Cultural Change 000 @toc4:Notes 000 References 000 Index 000

Stanford University Press Learning Difference
Book SynopsisAn examination of the role that race plays in the lives of students at a multiracial U.S. high school.Trade Review"Learning Difference is exceptionally good school ethnography. Staiger brings hidden forces to the surface that are not easily seen in classrooms and schoolyards but that nevertheless seethe through the ways in which different racial groups fashion their relations with schooling and one another. This book is a must read for anyone interested in how race is actually constructed and played out in public high schools." -- American Anthropologist"American schools are a battleground of diverse issues—busing, unequal access to resources, multicultural education and bilingual classes, gangs, and declining property values. Underlying all of these is the issue of race. Thank goodness for Annegret Staiger, who is not afraid to shine a bright light on the social conflicts our children navigate every day. Learning Difference digs deep into the lives of high school students of different backgrounds to explore how they live together and apart, managing friendship and animosity, challenged by well-meaning but misguided school policies. This book should be required reading in every teacher-training degree, and placed on the desk of every principal." -- Kevin Bales, President * Free the Slaves *"A savvy ethnographer, Staiger reveals the social contours of an urban high school with no racial majority. Here black, white, Latino, and Asian adolescents aggressively use race and gender as tools to define identities and groups across multiple school spaces. Viewed by outsiders as harmonious, this school seethes with strong divisions and alliances among racial groups jockeying for position in a familiar white-to-black hierarchy. Concealed behind color-blind talk, societys racial stratification system replicates itself in an internal segregation of gifted and at risk students. If schools are testing grounds for social justice and equality, this one is more failure than success." -- Joe R.

Stanford University Press Race Relations
Book SynopsisA provocative examination of prevailing thought on race and ethnicity in American society.Trade Review"Steinberg's discussion of ongoing racial injustice may not be popular in today's allegedly 'post racism' era, but he has again written a 'must read' book for our time. In a book of only 147 pages, Stephen Steinberg explained how an academic, foundation, and political 'infrastructure' promotes a 'racism is not the problem' agenda while urging exclusively class-based solutions to the crisis in the black community." -- Beyond Chron"Stephen Steinberg, a racism truth-teller par excellence, explores in vivid writing that shocks as it enlightens, the evolution of the term Race Relations. Crafted a century ago by sociologists, it uses false objectivity to obscure the continuing reality of racial oppression in America." -- Derrick Bell * Visiting Professor, NYU School of Law, and author of Faces at the Bottom of the Well, and Ethical Ambition *"...this book is an impressive achievement, an essay in radical racial theory by a recognized authority who is committed to the revitalization of our field and, more broadly, to the racial and social justice the United States has yet to achieve." -- —Howard Winant, University of California * Santa Barbara *"A compelling critique of the development of the sociology of race. The book makes clear that we still have much to learn, not only about the structural foundations of racism, but also about how careerism can subtly twist our perspectives so that we fail to rise to the intellectual and moral challenges of the sociological project. Steinberg has done us a great service." -- Frances Fox Piven * Past President, American Sociological Association, author of Why Americans Still Dont Vote, And Politicians Like It That Way *"Race Relations is a critical essay—not a comprehensive history. Steinberg is relentlessly polemical, often witty and sometimes brilliant in his debunking of the conventional wisdom. Like all iconoclasts, he overstates his case. But for all of his rhetorical excess, his argument that the mainstream of twentieth-century social science downplayed racial oppression and exploitation for individualistic understandings of race relations is powerful and convincing, and it needs to be heard as he shouts it from the rooftops." -- Thomas J. Sugrue"Biting, lucid, wise, and humane: this is a premier scholar's manifesto. With more twists and conceptual reversals than a double helix, Stephen Steinberg puts paid to the stale tales of"race relations" dogma." -- Eric Lott * author of The Disappearing Liberal Intellectual *"Argues, among other things, that the sociological language of race relations obscures the structural foundation of hierarchies and inequality." -- Chronicle of Higher Education"In this hard-hitting book, Stephen Steinberg unveils the sociology of ignorance—and shows that we need look no further to find it than mainstream white American sociology's historic evasions on race. A devastating exposé of a century of the discipline's theoretical bad faith, sociological mystification, and conceptual obfuscation of what should have been the central and obvious socio-historical fact of the white oppression of people of color in the United States." -- Charles W. Mills * University of Illinois at Chicago, author of The Racial Contract *"In Race Relations, Stephen Steinberg has written a passionate, personal, and devastating critique of the race relations paradigm, and perhaps more important, of sociology, the academic discipline that foisted that conceptual mystification upon American society By demolishing the race relations paradigm, Stephen Steinberg has made a seminal contribution to the study of race and racial oppression in the United States." –Sundiata Cha-Jua, Vice President of the National Council for Black Studies"[A] contentious new book that condemns American social science." -- Chronicle of Higher EducationTable of Contents@fmct:Contents @toc2:Prologue.

Stanford University Press Stolen Honor
Book SynopsisAn examination of Muslim men, focusing on the stereotypes and stigma these men face, the cultural roots of these prejudices, and the effect on assimilation and possible citizenship, through an ethnography of Turkish immigrants in Germany.Trade Review"[This book] make[s] important points . . . Ewing exposes the obsessive preoccupation of Europeans with Muslim gender roles. A thinly concealed racism is indeed often behind feminist rhetoric adopted by individuals and groups who all too commonly ignore homegrown misogyny. Stolen Honor is valuable because it gives an account of this phenomenon in a German context."—Deborah Gorham, Men and Masculinities"Ewing brings a fresh perspective to the literature on Muslim immigrants in Europe by shifting her research focus from their cultural and religious characteristics to the national imagery of the majority population . . . This book should be required reading for graduate students to develop a critical eye for the literature on Muslim minorities in the West."—Ahmet Yukleyen, Journal of Anthropological Research"Katherine Pratt Ewing's Stolen Honor provides an interesting and original approach to analysis of discourses of Islam in Europe by focusing on construction of Muslim masculinity in Germany . . . [The] book is particularly valuable in its interdisciplinary perspective."—Beverly M. Weber, H-Net Reviews."This is a highly original book that must be read by anyone interested in Muslims in Europe. Ewing flips the usual questions about discourses on honor and the 'oppression' of Muslim women to focus on their obverse: the stigmatization of Muslim men. Brilliantly linking media representations to the social worlds of Turkish origin men in Germany, she provides, ultimately, a devastating analysis of the fantasies that animate the German national imaginary."—Lila Abu-Lughod, Columbia University, author of Writing Women's Worlds and Dramas of Nationhood"Considering the case of Turkish Muslims in Germany, Ewing's inventive exploration of fear, stereotypes, assimilation, community, conflict, and cultural discourses should be mandatory reading. The processes she uncovers are of central relevance in the world today."—Aisha Khan, New York UniversityTable of ContentsContents Acknowledgments 1 Introduction: Masculinity and Cultural Citizenship Part 1 Mythologizing the "Traditional" Man 2 Imagining Tradition: The Turkish Villager 3 Between Cinema and Social Work: Rescuing the Muslim Woman from the Muslim Man 4 Negotiating Stigmatization 5 Recovering Honor and Respect Part 2 Stigmatized Masculinity and the German National Imaginary 6 The Honor Killing 7 National Controversies and Social Fantasies 8 Germanness and the Leitkultur Controversy: Protecting the Constitution from the Muslim Man Epilogue References Notes Index

Stanford University Press The Politics of Exclusion
Book SynopsisExamines the role and influence of race and ethnicity in the contemporary American city through three case studies of urban politics and policy decisions in Los Angeles, New York, and San Diego.Trade Review"Leland Saito offers an informative and critical analysis . . . Beyond policy outcomes, Saito's research affirms the value of community activism to build momentum and capital that limits negative effects on historical and contemporary representation of these groups . . . [T]his is a worthy piece of scholarship, advancing the argument for the continued consideration of the racial and ethnic implications of public policy."—Robin Lauermann, Journal of American Ethnic History"The ever savvy Leland Saito does a thorough and creative job of analyzing the complexities of racial politics in U.S. cities, revealing major weaknesses in the diversionary "colorblind" notions of conservative apologists for urban racism. Given the importance of racism, ethnic conflicts, cycles of immigration, and urban redevelopment today, this compelling look at how important cities are dealing with dramatic social change will likely find an eager popular and scholarly audience."—Joe Feagin, Texas A&M University, author of Systemic Racism: A Theory of Oppression"The ideology of colorblindness exhorts us to "get beyond" race and governs current institutional policies and practices. In a forceful critique, The Politics of Exclusion compellingly illustrates how supposedly "race-neutral" policies are deeply embedded in structural forms of racial inequality, and how such policies can promote racialized outcomes despite the best intentions of key social actors. Saito aptly describes a contemporary paradox—the simultaneous absence of racial prejudice and the enduring persistence of racial disparities."—Michael Omi, University of California, Berkeley"In this informative and incisive comparison of neighborhood preservation projects and political redistricting struggles, Saito delivers a convincing and compelling argument about the enduring persistence of race, calling into question the effectiveness of race-neutral policies and documenting why racial equality continues to elude our nation." —Linda Trinh Võ, University of California, Irvine and author of Mobilizing an Asian American Community"Saito uses compelling case studies from Los Angeles, New York, and San Diego to show how race and ethnicity continue to organize urban America, in ways that are shaped by local conditions. Once again, this work reflects Saito's extensive experience in community fieldwork, and it builds on his highly respected Race and Politics."—Edward J.W. Park, Loyola Marymount University"The author . . . delivers a well-written, convincingly argued thesis on exclusion."—E. Smith, Choice

Stanford University Press Growing Up in America
Book SynopsisInvestigates how race and ethnicity influence the experiences of teens in four key social institutions-family, peer groups, school, and religious communities.Trade Review"Growing Up in America is an eye-opener. In it we intensely experience the lives of teens, and come to see the powerful and often times surprising ways in which race impacts their lives. It is not the case, the authors show us, that white teens have access to the most and best resources. It varies by social institution, by what is valued, and what is needed. This is a wonderfully written, powerful book that enlightens as it engages. We cannot understand the meaning of race without understanding its formation in youth. And this is the very best book written on that subject."—Michael O. Emerson, Rice University"Growing Up in America masterfully shines an incisive light on how experiences in the four most influential contexts of adolescence—family, peers, school, and religion—can vary immensely based on one's racial or ethnic background. By revealing the unique 'capital portfolios' with which African American, white, Latino, and Asian American youth are equipped for adulthood, this book elucidates how uneven the playing field is when it comes to achieving social, emotional, economic, and spiritual success in adulthood. It's a must read for anyone interested in the sources of stratification and inequality in the U.S. or how race truly matters in the lives of American youth."—Lisa D. Pearce, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

Stanford University Press Legacies of Race
Book SynopsisA novel exploration of racial attitudes in contemporary Brazil using large-sample surveys of public opinion.Trade Review"Stanley R. Bailey has written the most accurate and important book on racial attitudes in Latin America. Based on representative data of the Brazilian population and systematic empirical research, Professor Bailey shows us that North American theories of racial identity and racial group interests find little support in Brazil, where the African origin population is nearly three times as large as that of the United States. Anyone interested in understanding race writ-globally should read Legacies of Race." -- Edward E. Telles * Princeton University, author of Race in Another America: The Significance of Skin Color in Brazil *"Legacies of Race offers a comprehensive and insightful analysis. ...this book is a necessary and important contribution. It will provide an obligatory reference for understanding racial identication and inequality in Brazil and beyond. Scholars interested in cultural boundaries and in stratication processes will also benet from this book." -- Florencia Torche * American Journal of Sociology *"A highly original and innovative breakdown of the complex dynamics of race in contemporary Brazil. Bailey interrogates the long-standing notion that a denial of racial discrimination is a key ingredient in Brazilian racial common sense. His work will give rise to considerable debate." -- G. Reginald Daniel * University of California, Santa Barbara, author of Race and Multiraciality in Brazil and the United States *"Legacies of Race takes on two issues of fundamental importance in social and political analysis—false consciousness and the discontinuity between elite and mass politics—and engages both issues in the most relevant contemporary policy context—race. It is a breakthrough contribution." -- Paul Sniderman * Stanford University *

Stanford University Press Race Defaced
Book SynopsisThis book compares different forms of racism and anti-racism in the United States and Britain from the 19th century to today, situating the development of various racial doctrines within the political movements of the modern capitalist world order.Trade Review"Race Defaced is a thoroughly engaging and stimulating attempt to rethink and resituate conservative and radical orthodoxies surrounding the history and development of racism and anti-racism. Using an effective comparative methodology encompassing the U.K. and the U.S. [...], this book highlights the commonalities shared by conservatives and radicals that constrain the potential for true equality being achieved . . . The authors' main contribution lies in providing a conceptual toolkit, framed within 'hope' and 'possibility,' with which to begin a movement toward an emancipatory politics."—Waqas Tufail, Sociology of Race and Ethnicity"Race Defaced is an exceptional contribution to the debate about race because it does so much more than most writing on the subject. In a field where moral stances usually get in the way of thinking things through more deeply, Kyriakides and Torres have pulled together a pointedly philosophical reflection on the meaning of race."—James Heartfield, Spiked"Race Defaced shakes up the status quo in the field of race—and social theory more broadly—delivering an exciting, forceful challenge to prominent thought. A major contribution."—Alana Lentin, University of Western Sydney"It's refreshing to see an ambitious work that steps back from the immediate cauldron of race and places it in a broader political, historical, and theoretical framework. Kyriakides and Torres offer a compelling challenge to the current orthodoxies in this bold, wide-ranging critical analysis."—Stephen Small, University of California, Berkeley
