Yet for three years he immersed himself among local fighters, amateur and professional. He learned the Sweet science of bruising, participating in all phases of the pugilist''s strenuous preparation, from shadow-boxing drills to sparring to fighting in the Golden Gloves tournament. In this experimental ethnography of incandescent intensity, the scholar-turned-boxer fleshes out Pierre Bourdieu''s signal concept of habitus, deepening our theoretical grasp of human practice. And he supplies a model for a carnal sociology capable of capturing the taste and ache of action.This expanded anniversary edition features a new preface and postface that take the reader behind the scenes and reveal the making of this classic ethnography. Wacquant reflects on his path to, and uses of, fieldwork based on apprenticeship. He traces the genealogy and draws the anatomy of habitus and explicates how he deployed it as method of inquiry. The postface retraces the trials and tribulations of his gym mates in and out of the gym over the past thirty years, and reflects on what they reveal about the economics of prizefighting, masculinity, and the passion that binds boxers to their craft.Body and Soul marries the analytic rigor of the sociologist with the stylistic grace of the novelist to offer a compelling portrait of a bodily craft and of life and labor in the black American ghetto at century''s end.

Most theorizing about reparations treats it as a social justice project - either rooted in reconciliatory justice focused on making amends in the present; or, they focus on the past, emphasizing restitution for historical wrongs. Olúfemi O. Táíwò argues that neither approach is optimal, and advances a different case for reparations - one rooted in a hopeful future that tackles the issue of climate change head on, with distributive justice at its core. This view, which he calls the constructive view of reparations, argues that reparations should be seen as a future-oriented project engaged in building a better social order; and that the costs of building a more equitable world should be distributed more to those who have inherited the moral liabilities of past injustices. This approach to reparations, as Táíwò shows, has deep and surprising roots in the thought of Black political thinkers s\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOlúfẹmi Táíwò's Reconsidering Reparations offers a novel, passionate, and compelling account of reparative justice in the contemporary world.

Drawing on the efforts of anti-colonial activists of the 20th century, Táíwò calls for a constructive approach to reparations to establish a new world order based on justice. * J. M. Rich, CHOICE *\u003cbr\u003eColonialism isn't over. Instead of men in pith helmets, the rich now send pollution, climate catastrophe, development consultants and philanthropists. In this sweeping, subtle and sophisticated analysis, Olúfẹ́mi O.

Weaving together multiple traditions of radical thought and attuned to the most pressing debates of our moment, Táíwò reveals reparations to be world-making in two potent senses of the term. As a means of dismantling and transforming Global Racial Empire--necessarily a project planetary in its spatial horizons and internationalist in the scope of its solidarities--reparations are in turn a requirement for saving the earth and human society from the climate crisis. * Thea Riofrancos, author of Resource Radicals: From Petro-Nationalism to Post-Extractivism in Ecuador *\u003cbr\u003eI give my highest recommendation to Táíwò's philosophically rich and important book. * Jennifer M.

In the mainstream imagination, civil rights activists eschewed coercion, appealed to the majority''s principles, and submitted willingly to legal punishment in order to demand necessary legislative reforms and facilitate the realization of core constitutional and democratic principles. Their fidelity to the spirit of the law, commitment to civility, and allegiance to American democracy set the normative standard for liberal philosophies of civil disobedience.This narrative offers the civil disobedience of the Civil Rights Movement as a moral exemplar: a blueprint for activists who seek transformative change and racial justice within the bounds of democracy. Yet in this book, Erin R. Pineda shows how it more often functions as a disciplining examplea means of scolding activists and quieting dissent. As Pineda argues, the familiar account of Civil Rights disobedience not only misremembers history; it also distorts our political judgments about how civil disobedience might fit into democratic politics.Seeing Like an Activist charts the emergence of this influential account of civil disobedience in the Civil Rights Movement, and demonstrates its reliance on a narrative about black protest that is itself entangled with white supremacy. Liberal political theorists whose work informed decades of scholarship saw civil disobedience like a white state: taking for granted the legitimacy of the constitutional order, assuming as primary the ends of constitutional integrity and stability, centering the white citizen as the normative ideal, and figuring the problem of racial injustice as limited, exceptional, and all-but-already solved. Instead, this book sees civil disobedience from the perspective of an activist, showing the consequences for ideas about how civil disobedience ought to unfold in the present. Building on historical and archival evidence, Pineda shows how civil rights activists, in concert with anticolonial movements across the globe, turned to civil disobedience as a practice of decolonization in order to emancipate themselves and others, and in the process transform the racial order. Pineda recovers this powerful alternative account by adopting a different theoretical approach--one which sees activists as themselves engaged in the creative work of political theorizing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePineda's work examines the theory behind the concept of civil disobedience, explaining how activists used the civil disobedience strategy to challenge global white supremacy.

O. Cullen, CHOICE *\u003cbr\u003eInterweaving counter-history and political theory in a way that speaks to our present moment, Pinedas book revolutionizes our understanding of one of the most invoked and iconic, but also most misunderstood examples of civil disobedience. With her remarkably profound, rigorous, and compelling study, Pineda manages to open up new theoretical and political possibilities beyond the unquestioned assumptions that constrain the mainstream understanding of protest and disobedience. Recovering the radical, indeed revolutionary potential of political contestation, her book should be read by anyone interested in building a new world. * Robin Celikates, Free University of Berlin *\u003cbr\u003eSeeing Like an Activist makes an important and original contribution to scholarship on civil disobedience by highlighting activists (in this case in the Civil Rights Movement in the US in the 1960s) as important political thinkers in their own right. Drawing on careful case studies of the \"jail, no bail\" campaigns pioneered by the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) and the 1963 Birmingham Campaign led by the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), Pineda shows how the ideas and actions of civil rights activists powerfully contradict the most cherished premises of the philosophical literature on civil disobedience that purports to draw on their example. * Juliet Hooker, Brown University *\u003cbr\u003eA powerful account of how acts of courageous defiance can simultaneously assert freedom and expose structures of racial domination, Pineda's incisive study recovers the genuine radicalism of the nonviolent activism of the civil rights movement. Upending received wisdom about nonviolence as a peaceful, constitutional path to social progress, Pineda shows how activists conceived and enacted nonviolence as a decolonizing practice of self-liberation. * Karuna Mantena, Columbia University *\u003cbr\u003eSeeing Like an Activist is a tour de force, and a joy to read. It is going to transform how political theorists see civil disobedience, and it offers a master class on how to do truly democratic political theory—theory that grows out of democratic actors' practices, rather than trying to fit those actors into existing theories.

This trap is consequential for a host of racial and ethnic minority youth in schools, including Black Caribbean young people in London and New York City.Since the 1920s, Black Caribbeans in New York have been considered a high-achieving Black model minority. Conversely, since the 1950s, Black Caribbeans in London have been regarded as a chronically underachieving minority. In both contexts, however, it is often suggested that Caribbean culture informs their status, whether as a celebrated minority in the US or as a demoted minority in Britain.Drawing on rich observations, interviews and archives in London and New York City schools, Wallace suggests that the use of culture to justify Black Caribbean students'' achievement \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is an important contribution to our understanding of how discourses and practices of racial representation work to shape and perpetuate ethnic inequalities in our schools.

Comparing Black Caribbeans in London and New York, he shows how ethnic expectations, rooted in history, colonialism, and the proliferation of U.S. media culture, influence the incorporation and academic outcomes of second-generation Black Caribbean youth. Bursting with rich narrative accounts, powerful theoretical insights, and exceptional writing, this book will shape the sociology and education discourse on Black Caribbean students for years to come. Everyone who cares about race, ethnicity, education, and immigration should read this book. * John B. Diamond, Professor of Sociology and Education Policy, Brown University *\u003cbr\u003eHow to explain the markedly different educational experiences and levels of achievement of African-Caribbean youth in London and New York? Conceptual clarity alongside careful listening to the voices of Black youth, parents, and teachers is at the heart of Derron Wallace's timely and thoughtful analysis of the 'ethnic expectations' which serve as an alibi for racisms and reinforce inequalities. * Catherine Hall, Chair of the Centre for the Study of the Legacies of British Slavery, University College London *\u003cbr\u003eThis fascinating book takes us into two schools—one in New York City and one in London—where teachers use cultural narratives on the essential elements of Caribbean heritage towards very different goals—to highlight Black students' endless talents and possibilities in one setting and to stress the limited potential of Black adolescents in another. Beautifully written, gripping, and deeply interesting, The Culture Trap sheds new light on the mechanisms through which inequality is sustained. Highly recommended! * Annette Lareau, Professor of Sociology, University of Pennsylvania *\u003cbr\u003eThis brave, brilliant book takes no hostages. Beautifully evocative and richly theorized, The Culture Trap sets out a compelling argument for why culture should not be prioritized over structure in understandings of educational achievement. Weaving wonderful ethnographic narratives with stunning insights, the book brings a welcome clarity to the messy and highly contested morass that culture has become. For much needed illumination, this is the book to read—it is both an enormous pleasure and a revelation. * Diane Reay, Professor of Education, University of Cambridge *\u003cbr\u003eThe Culture Trap is a wonderful contribution to the comparative analysis of the ways in which black youth have been the subject of unequal schooling. Through a nuanced and detailed analysis, Wallace illustrates how black Caribbean youth have been subjected to persistent and deeply embedded unequal treatment in the school systems of the UK and US. * John Solomos, Professor of Sociology, University of Warwick *\u003cbr\u003eThe Culture Trap is an insightful study of the experiences of Afro-Caribbean youth in New York City and London schools. Wallace's careful look at how schools create 'culture traps' through essentializing ethnic expectations of their Afro-Caribbean students is sure to become an instant classic. The book demonstrates how positive expectations go hand in hand with negative expectations, and how the history of colonialism shapes ethnic stereotypes in the US and Britain. Beyond the school, Wallace also shows how students themselves respond to the ethnic expectations they experience. Never reductive, Wallace uses 'storytelling sociology,' providing a vivid and convincing account of the lived experiences of the communities he observed, with deep respect, care, and curiosity. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in immigration, education, and the African diaspora. * Natasha Warikoo, Professor of Sociology, Tufts University *\u003cbr\u003eFindings from this study are important...I highly recommend this book to all but especially to educators in teacher preparation programs, preservice teachers, educators in the field, and educational policymakers and leaders in both the United States and Britain. * Mercy Agyepong, Sociology of Race and Ethnicity *\u003cbr\u003eThis book demonstrates a high calibre of authorship and scholarship, which audiences within the field of education, teaching, and learning will find informative for their practice, as I myself have. * Steve Raven, Institute of Global Education, Coventry University\/Trustee of British Sociological Association *\u003cbr\u003eWallace does a good job of demonstrating that expectations regarding culture can affect outcomes...Recommended.

This job isn''t hard because the core scholarship is hard, but because of the complex mix of activities that scholars must figure out how to juggle.

Chafe. He argues that, despite the wishes and arguments of many whites to the contrary, the struggle for freedom has been carried out primarily by Black Americans, with only occasional assistance from whites. Chafe highlights the role of all-black institutions--especially the churches, lodges, local gangs, neighborhood women''s groups, and the Black college clubs that gathered at local pool halls--that talked up the issues, examined different courses of action, and then put their lives on the line to make change happen.The book draws heavily on the tremendous oral history archives at Duke that Chafe founded and nurtured, much of which is previously unpublished.

China''s high-speed railway network is one of the largest infrastructure programs in human history. Despite global media coverage, we know very little about the political process that led the government to invest in the railway program and the reasons for the striking regional and temporal variation in such investments. In Localized Bargaining, Xiao Ma offers a novel theory of intergovernmental bargaining that explains the unfolding of China''s unprecedented high-speed railway program. Drawing on a wealth of in-depth interviews, original data sets, and surveys with local officials, Ma details how the bottom-up bargaining efforts by territorial authoritieswhom the central bureaucracies rely on to implement various infrastructure projectsshaped the allocation of investment in the railway system. Demonstrating how localities of different types invoke institutional and extra-institutional sources of bargaining power in their competition for railway stations, Ma sheds new light on how the nation''s massive bureaucracy actually functions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLocalized Bargaining is an important addition to the literature, providing insights into one of the most salient aspects of Chinese politics-the triangulated relationship between top decision makers, local bureaucrats, and the masses. Ma is to be applauded for providing insight into \"a regularized, controllable mechanism\" for the bottom up articulating of interests. * Karl Yan, Journal of Contemporary Asia *\u003cbr\u003eOverall, the author has conducted solid fieldwork and collected a wealth of first-hand information, which is not easy to do in China. The book's target group consists of political scientists and geographers. It not only sheds light on the politics behind the largest infrastructure project in human history, but also echoes some of the more general questions of political and geographical studies in general. * Guo Jie, Institute of Geography, Guangdong Academy of Sciences, EURASIAN GEOGRAPHY AND ECONOMICS *\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on interviews and a variety of new data sources, Localized Bargaining tells a compelling tale of the politics that drives the allocation of infrastructure in the absence of democracy—those who lobby for projects, it shows, are not citizens, but intermediary recipients such as local governments and functional departments. This is an indispensable book for understanding how bureaucratic bargaining and 'fragmented authoritarianism' works in China's infrastructure-fueled development. * Yuen Yuen Ang, Associate Professor of Political Science, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor *\u003cbr\u003eThis empirically rich book uncovers how the non-monolithic political system in China creates opportunities for local authorities to participate in the policy making of the central authority. Xiao Ma convincingly demonstrates that Chinese local governments are able to seek policy benefits because of the fragmented authorities of the decision-making bureaucracy. This insightful book makes an important contribution to understanding distributive politics in authoritarian states. * Yongshun Cai, Hong Kong University of Science \u0026amp; Technology *\u003cbr\u003eSeen from the outside, China's high-speed rail network epitomizes the centralized power of the party-state. Ma's pathbreaking study, which takes us inside the politics of railway development, reveals a far more complex picture. With rich quantitative and qualitative evidence, Ma traces the interplay of bottom-up and top-down agency and formal and informal rules, reshaping our understanding of 'who gets what, when, and how.' * Kyle A. Jaros, Associate Professor of Global Affairs, University of Notre Dame *\u003cbr\u003eXiao Ma significantly advances our understanding of bureaucracy. His investigation of the massive infrastructure investment in the Chinese high-speed rail system reveals not only the role of bureaucracy in maintaining authoritarian rule but also the mechanisms by which it does so. His rich account reveals that what seems to be top-down authority is actually a complex of bargains in which local actors transform the intentions of the centralized state: the 'cardinals,' those with significant institutional power in local territorial politics, try to impose their agenda while the 'clerics,' those with less institutional power, try to get their voices heard by mobilizing protests.

In the last two decades, however, the re-emergence of China as a major great power has called into question the geopolitical future of the region and raised the specter of renewed great power competition. As the eminent China scholar David Shambaugh explains in Where Great Powers Meet, the United States and China are engaged in a broad-gauged and global competition for power. While this competition ranges across the entire world, it is centered in Asia. In this book, Shambaugh focuses on the critical sub-region of Southeast Asia. The United States and China constantly vie for position and influence across this enormously significant area--and the outcome of this contest will do much to determine whether Asia leaves the American orbit after seven decades and falls into a new Chinese sphere of influence. Just as importantly, to the extent that there is a global power transition occurring from the US to China, the fate of Southeast Asia will be a good indicator. Presently, both powers bring important assets to bear in their competition. The United States continues to possess a depth and breadth of security ties, soft power, and direct investment across the region that empirically outweigh China''s. For its part, China has more diplomatic influence, much greater trade, and geographic proximity. In assessing the likelihood of a regional power transition, Shambaugh examines how ASEAN (the Association of Southeast Asian Nations) and its member states maneuver and the degree to which they align with one or the other power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDavid Shambaugh's Where Great Powers Meet is a fine contribution to a spate of recent books focusing on China, Southeast Asia, and the US.

First published pseudonymously in 1861, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl describes Jacobs''s treatment at the hands of her owners, her eventual escape to the North, and her perilous existence evading recapture as a fugitive slave. To save herself from sexual assault and protect her children she is forced to hide for seven years in a tiny attic space, suffering terrible psychological and physical pain.Written to expose the appalling treatment of slaves in the South and the racism of the free North, and to advance the abolitionist cause, Incidents is notable for its careful construction and literary effects. Jacobs''s story of self-emancipation and a growing feminist consciousness is the tale of an individual and a searing indictment of slavery''s inhumanity. This edition includes the short memoir by Jacobs''s brother, John S. Jacobs, ''A True Tale of Slavery''.ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.

But in reality, racism is a complex, multidimensional phenomenon that cannot be captured by such definitions. In our world today there are a variety of racisms at play, and it is necessary to distinguish between issues such as individual prejudice, and systemic racisms which entrench racialiazed inequalities over time. This Very Short Introduction explores the history of racial ideas and a wide range of racisms - biological, cultural, colour-blind, and structural - and illuminates issues that have been the subject of recent debates. Is Islamophobia a form of racism? Is there a new antisemitism? Why has whiteness become an important source of debate? What is Intersectionality? What is unconscious or implicit bias, and what is its importance in understanding racial discrimination? Ali Rattansi tackles these questions, and also shows why African Americans and other ethnic minorities in the USA and Europe continue to suffer from discrimination today that results in ongoing disadvantage in these white dominant societies. Finally he explains why there has been a resurgence of national populist and far-right movements and explores their implications for the future of racism.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.

Clearly and concisely analyzing the varieties of racism today, Rattansi explains the roots of the phenomenon and also helps us challenge its new forms.

Varel has mined neglected archival sources and provided a useful representation of how a serious scholar navigated, with considerable success, the turbulent waters of race and scholarship in mid-century America.” * The American Historical Review *\u003cbr\u003e“Well-researched and erudite. . . \u003ci\u003eThe Lost Black Scholar\u003c\/i\u003e is an important contribution to our understanding of the history of twentieth-century social science in the United States. Varel does an excellent job in explaining the social and intellectual context for Davis’s work.” * History of Education Quarterly *\u003cbr\u003e“Varel skillfully uses the story of Allison Davis—a social scientist in the fields of anthropology, sociology, and education—to tell a larger story of African American intellectual strivings before and during the Civil Rights Movement. . . . If those contributions were merely what Varel covered here, the book would be important in its own right. But what also adds to \u003ci\u003eThe Lost Black Scholar\u003c\/i\u003e is how Varel connects Davis’ earlier life in Washington, D.C. to his own strivings in the academy and beyond. . . . After reading \u003ci\u003eThe Lost Black Scholar\u003c\/i\u003e, it will be difficult to forget about the achievements of social scientist Allison Davis.” * Society for US Intellectual History *\u003cbr\u003e“In this trim and athletic volume, Varel successfully shows us the importance of Davis’s work and life. . . \u003ci\u003eThe Lost Black Scholar\u003c\/i\u003e is clearly written and almost relentlessly structured, moving through topics, trends, and viewpoints in an order that makes reading a breeze. As a result, it can be read by anyone who cares about Davis and his work, not just academic anthropologists—an important consideration given Varel’s goal of bringing Davis back into the public record as a prominent African-American scholar.” * History of Anthropology Review *\u003cbr\u003e“In \u003ci\u003eThe Lost Black Scholar\u003c\/i\u003e, David A. Varel has sought to bring Allison Davis out of the shadows and he succeeds quite convincingly. This book is an important contribution to African American history, education history, and social science history. There are numerous books on African American scholars in the twentieth century, but this is the first on Davis—he is well worth the attention.” * Wayne J. Urban, University of Alabama *\u003cbr\u003e“\u003ci\u003eThe Lost Black Scholar\u003c\/i\u003e draws deeply from a rich and varied set of archival material. Varel does a masterful job of documenting Allison Davis’s career path and showing how his efforts fit into the intellectual currents circumscribing the African American social condition in the early and mid-twentieth century. This book should awaken and stimulate interest in Davis, and encourage greater understanding of the consequences and politics of racial scholarship.” * Alford A.

In Sound Experiments, Paul Steinbeck offers an in-depth historical and musical investigation of the collective, analyzing individual performances and formal innovations in captivating detail. He pays particular attention to compositions by Muhal Richard Abrams and Roscoe Mitchell, the Association's leading figures, as well as Anthony Braxton, George Lewis (and his famous computer-music experiment, Voyager), Wadada Leo Smith, and Henry Threadgill, along with younger AACM members such as Mike Reed, Tomeka Reid, and Nicole Mitchell.
