The University of Chicago Press Mobile Orientations
Book SynopsisDespite continued public and legislative concern about sex trafficking across international borders, the actual lives of the individuals involvedand, more importantly, the decisions that led them to sex workare too often overlooked. With Mobile Orientations, Nicola Mai shows that, far from being victims of a system beyond their control, many contemporary sex workers choose their profession as a means to forge a path toward fulfillment. Using a bold blend of personal narrative and autoethnography, Mai provides intimate portrayals of sex workers from sites including the Balkans, the Maghreb, and West Africa who decided to sell sex as the means to achieve a better life. Mai explores the contrast between how migrants understand themselves and their work and how humanitarian and governmental agencies conceal their stories, often unwittingly, by addressing them all as helpless victims. The culmination of two decades of research, Mobile Orientations sheds new light on the desires and ambit

The University of Chicago Press Islands of Privacy
Book SynopsisEveryone worries about privacy these days. Packed with stories that are funny and sad, familiar and strange, this book tours the myriad arenas where privacy battles are fought, lost, and won. It explores how we manage our secrets, our phone calls and e-mail, the perimeters of our homes, and our interactions with neighbors.Trade Review"Islands of Privacy is a major work of original research, depicting the processes, exchanges, and concerns involved in the ongoing social negotiation of this thing we call 'privacy.' The strength of Nippert-Eng's closely detailed approach is that it allows us to see that privacy is a complicated value subject to constant change, pressure, defense, and negation. The book is also elegantly written-in admirable Studs Terkel fashion, Nippert-Eng is able to get people to tell some great stories about the things that interest us all." -John Gilliom, author of Overseers of the Poor: Surveillance, Resistance, and the Limits of Privacy"

The University of Chicago Press The Rise of the Masses Spontaneous Mobilization
Book SynopsisAn insightful examination of how intersecting individual motivations and social structures mobilize spontaneous mass protests. Between 15 and 26 million Americans participated in protests surrounding the murders of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and others as part of the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020, which is only one of the most recent examples of an immense mobilization of citizens around a cause. In The Rise of the Masses, sociologist Benjamin Abrams addresses why and how people spontaneously protest, riot, and revolt en masse. While most uprisings of such a scale require tremendous resources and organizing, this book focuses on cases where people with no connection to organized movements take to the streets, largely of their own accord. Looking to the Arab Spring, Occupy Wall Street, and the Black Lives Uprising, as well as the historical case of the French Revolution, Abrams lays out a theory of how and why massive mobilizations arise without the large-scalTrade Review“Skillfully drawing on and synthesizing an impressive range of theoretical perspectives, Benjamin Abrams has fashioned a highly original theory of spontaneous mass mobilization. As if that weren’t enough, he goes on to make a compelling, empirically informed case for the application of his affinity-convergence theory to four iconic mass movements, ranging from the French Revolution to the George Floyd Protests of 2020. Anyone interested in the dynamics of spontaneous mass action will want to read this book.” -- Doug McAdam, Ray Lyman Wilbur Professor of Sociology, Stanford University“Drawing on four diverse cycles of contention. . . . Abrams shows how much of the process of mobilization can be explained as the product of affinities and convergence on the part of unorganized groups—the 'masses' in his title—while their failures can be explained as their inability to create viable and robust structures around their affinities. His book should be read by social movement specialists and by general readers concerned with the current waves of mass mobilization alike. While the book is based on immense reading and research, it is Abrams's deep thinking that I admire most. A very readable and engaging book." -- Sidney Tarrow, author of Power in Movement“Social movements and revolutions are enormously consequential. Yet, their confounding and elusive mysteries are not fully understood. How do they burst forth, who brings them into being, and why do they fail or succeed? Do they spring from spontaneity or organization? The Rise of the Masses squarely confronts these fundamental questions through careful analysis, copious evidence, and enthralling narratives of historic movements. In so doing, Abrams illuminates how these engines of social change operate. This book is a rich fount of knowledge that should be widely read.” -- Aldon Morris, author of The Origins of the Civil Rights Movement"This book will be important reading for those interested in explaining mobilization generally and delving into how we can better understand more spontaneous mobilizations. In addition, it would be of interest to any scholars or publics interested in the four core cases of analysis. I found the book compelling, beautifully written, and convincing." -- Catherine Corrigall-Brown * Social Forces *Table of ContentsIntroduction Part I: Theorizing Mobilization 1.

McGill-Queen's University Press Portable Prisons
Book SynopsisPortable Prisons is an exploration of the electronic monitoring of offenders based on an ethnographic case study from Scotland. Through interviews and observations, Gacek demonstrates this technology is representative of the carceral state’s overreaching punitive capabilities, rejecting the idea that “soft” punishment is related to decarceration.Trade Review“The most sophisticated theoretical account of electronic monitoring yet made available, Portable Prisons is a work of international significance, and will be of great interest to a wide range of penological and geographical scholars.” Mike Nellis, University of Strathclyde“Gacek’s book is much needed to increase scholarly attention to the sanction of EM and similar technologies. Carceral and surveillance technologies are growing at a rapid pace worldwide, motivated by powerful private interests. Gacek writes to a scholarly audience who he hopes comes away with an appreciation for defining and naming the complex social, relational, and geographic dynamics integral to this type of surveillance experience. He also writes to a wider public who he hopes pauses to consider the implications of normalizing the expansion of carceral technologies. Gacek calls us as citizens to be unsettled by the ways in which we have normalized this surveillance and allowed it to expand and become routine.” Criminal Law & Criminal Justice Books“Portable Prisons offers an original and important contribution to our understanding of EM [electronic monitoring] specifically and to the geography of incarceration more generally. Gacek implores the wider public to be unsettled by the normalization of expanding carceral technologies in our everyday life.” Theoretical Criminology

Columbia University Press Exiled in America
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewExiled in America is a keen, well-written study of the powerful social forces of inequality as they are shaped by cultural issues and social institutions. Christopher P. Dum provides an unusual glimpse of a unique population living in a difficult and hazardous place-a nuanced and important work. -- Terry Williams, author of The Con Men: Hustling in New York City Living in a poverty motel that houses the most marginalized and scrutinized populations in the United States, Dum documents the lived drama of managed stigma, the eruptive proclivities of a caring fragile community of 'social refugees,' the tragedy of public indifference, and the humanity of capitalism's newly rendered 'huddled masses.' It is a story that can only be told through immersive ethnography. -- Timothy Black, author of When a Heart Turns Rock Solid: The Lives of Three Puerto Rican Brothers On and Off the Streets It is not often, after forty years in the field, that I actually get excited by a new scholar's tone-that I find it so fascinating, so rich, so theoretically and analytically thick, that I go agog over it. Such is the case with Dum's work. -- Peter Adler, University of Denver Dum digs down deep inside the darkness of marginality and exclusion to find the lives that others willfully ignore. Amidst that darkness he discovers hard living and plenty of hurt but something else as well: little flowerings of courage and community. An exemplar of engaging ethnography, Exiled in America is a book that I've now read twice and will no doubt read again-it's that good. -- Jeff Ferrell, author of Empire of Scrounge: Inside the Urban Underground of Dumpster Diving, Trash Picking, and Street Scavenging Exiled in America is a compelling and compassionate look at people living at society's margins. Dum details the evolution of the 'no tell' Boardwalk Motel, the people who live there, and the social dynamics among themselves and the surrounding community, illustrating our 'dystopian cultural response to inequality.' Ethnography at its best! -- Andrea Leverentz, author of The Ex-Prisoner's Dilemma: How Women Negotiate Competing Narratives of Reentry and Desistance [A] revealing, rigorously academic work... [Dum] places the painful experiences of these residents in the larger societal context: rising rates of incarceration, foreclosures, evictions, and homelessness have in recent years turned many nonchain motels into shelters for the marginalized. Kirkus Reviews (starred review) [A] fine, vivid and disturbing ethnography. Times Higher Education This book, Dum's debut, is a lively evocation of a precarious, misunderstood community's rhythms, textures, and tools for living together. It also contains a nicely potted history of American motels, once symbols of freedom for car-owning travelers, now disreputable, last-ditch options for the transient and marginalized-living monuments to what happens when massive social problems run up against a national desire for Band-Aid solutions. -- Peter C.

Columbia University Press Making Space for Justice
Book SynopsisMichele Moody-Adams explores what social movements have shown about the nature of justice and what it takes to create space for justice in the world. She argues that these insights are critical to bridging the gap between discerning theory and effective practice—and should be transformative for political thought as well as for political activism.Trade ReviewMaking Space for Justice is a timely work given our current political dangers, in which partisans lack a shared reality and cynics promote a nihilistic politics of despair that threatens democracy. This work manifests on every page the virtues and normative orientations for which Moody-Adams is arguing—hope, civic grace, an inclusive imagination, compassionate concern, and respect for all, including even those who are, out of despair and resentment, currently endangering democracy. It is a powerful contribution to the pragmatist tradition in philosophy. -- Elizabeth Anderson, author of Private Government: How Employers Rule Our Lives (and Why We Don't Talk about It)We face systems of egregious injustice. Prevailing theories, which focus on abstract principles, provide little guidance for addressing injustice. Making Space for Justice finds practical and theoretical insight in progressive social movements. This groundbreaking book shows that they apply constructive imagination with 'humane regard,' joining 'compassionate concern' with 'robust respect.' -- David Lyons, author of The Color Line: A Short IntroductionMaking Space for Justice is a remarkably illuminating work on the indispensability of social movement activity for understanding and achieving justice. With deep historical knowledge, careful argument, and real-world examples, Moody-Adams makes a compelling case for why political philosophers must go beyond defending abstract principles to learning from the 'engaged moral inquiry' of progressive social movements. This is a truly exceptional book from a leading thinker on the meaning of moral progress. -- Tommie Shelby, author of Dark Ghettos: Injustice, Dissent, and ReformContributes superbly to philosophical discussions about the ethics and politics of social movements. * Radical Philosophy Review *The depth and breadth of Moody-Adams' work makes this a worthy volume to return to. * Technical Communication *Moody-Adams clears the weeds for moral and political philosophy to take seriously the ethical insights of social movements. * Ethics and International Affairs *Table of ContentsAcknowledgmentsIntroductionPart I: Understanding Social Movements1.

Prevailing theories, which focus on abstract principles, provide little guidance for addressing injustice. Making Space for Justice finds practical and theoretical insight in progressive social movements. This groundbreaking book shows that they apply constructive imagination with 'humane regard,' joining 'compassionate concern' with 'robust respect.' -- David Lyons, author of The Color Line: A Short IntroductionMaking Space for Justice is a remarkably illuminating work on the indispensability of social movement activity for understanding and achieving justice. With deep historical knowledge, careful argument, and real-world examples, Moody-Adams makes a compelling case for why political philosophers must go beyond defending abstract principles to learning from the 'engaged moral inquiry' of progressive social movements. This is a truly exceptional book from a leading thinker on the meaning of moral progress. -- Tommie Shelby, author of Dark Ghettos: Injustice, Dissent, and ReformContributes superbly to philosophical discussions about the ethics and politics of social movements. * Radical Philosophy Review *The depth and breadth of Moody-Adams' work makes this a worthy volume to return to. * Technical Communication *Moody-Adams clears the weeds for moral and political philosophy to take seriously the ethical insights of social movements. * Ethics and International Affairs *Table of ContentsAcknowledgmentsIntroductionPart I: Understanding Social Movements1.

University of Notre Dame Press UnRule Of Law and the Underprivileged In Latin
Book SynopsisThis study describes a Latin American legal system which punishes only the poor and a ""democratic"" state which fails to control its own agents' arbitrary practices. The contributors argue that judicial reform cannot be seperated from human rights and that justice must be made available to the poor.Trade Review“This book is an excellent compilation of work by today’s foremost scholars and activists in human rights in Latin America. These authors offer a thoughtful account of some of the most pressing problems in the region—including lack of accountability, police brutality, and the need for judicial reform—and provide a compelling debate on how to improve the promotion of human rights in the hemisphere.” —José Miguel Vivanco, Executive Director, Americas Division, Human Rights Watch“Anyone who assumes that redemocratization has done much to advance the rule of law must consult the papers in this collection. . . This volume does not explain, it describes and prescribes but does so richly and soberly. A fine acquisition for all academic collections.” —Choice“The (Un)Rule of Law is a thorough and incisive examination of the aftereffects of democratization in Latin America. The diversity of viewpoints presented constitutes an excellent contribution to the continuing dialogue on the promotion and institutionalization of human rights in the region.” —Journal of International Law and Politics“The (Un)Rule of Law features excellent essays on groups that are discriminated against in Latin America, including blacks, indegenous peoples, and women.” —Latin American Research Review“The essays collected in Mendez et al. About the “(un)rule of law” and the underprivileged in Latin America make sober reading. But while the specific problems they address about access to justice, racial and gender discrimination, discrimination against indigenous peoples, the role of the police, reform of the judiciary, pockets where the violence of the street rules rather than the law, are writ large in Latin America, they are-at the least-writ small in North America.” —International Journal of Constitutional Law

University of Washington Press Japanese American Ethnicity
Book SynopsisWhy do some groups retain their ethnicity as they become assimilated into mainstream American life while others do not? This study employs both historical sources and contemporary survey data to explain the seeming paradox of why Japanese Americans have maintained high levels of ethnic community involvement while becoming structurally assimilated. Most traditional approaches to the study of ethnicity in the United States are based on the European immigrant experience and conclude that a zero-sum relationship exists between assimilation and retention of ethnicity: community solidarity weakens as structural assimilation grows stronger. Japanese Americans, however, like American Jews, do not fit this pattern.The basic thesis of this book is that the maintenance of ethnic community solidarity, the process of assimilation, and the reactions of an ethnic group to outside forces must be understood in light of the internal social organization of the ethnic group, which can be trac

WW Norton & Co Jane Addams
Book SynopsisIn this landmark biography, Jane Addams becomes America's most admired and most hated woman—and wins the Nobel Peace Prize.Trade Review"This book is as fine an introduction to the life and thought of Jane Addams as one is ever likely to read. Her internal growth as a world-class democrat, coupled with the many public causes with which she interacted, is so beautifully laid out that the reader sees vividly why Addams was, is, and remains an iconic figure in American history." -- Vivian Gornick, author of Fierce Attachments and The Men in My Life"Only superlatives like excellent and elegant can do justice to Louise W. Knight’s fine Jane Addams. Whether Addams was grass-roots organizing, founding Hull House, or fighting for women’s suffrage, she was always an indefatigable warrior. If there was any real fairness in this troubled world Addams would have won three Nobel Peace Prizes instead of one. Highly recommended." -- Douglas Brinkley, author of The Wilderness Warrior: Theodore Roosevelt and the Crusade for America"Louise W. Knight’s masterful biography of Jane Addams not only brings to life this remarkable crusader for peace and justice but serves as an eloquent reminder of the ideals for which she stood. Addams may be gone but with the publication of this spiritually imbued biography her dreams will live again and her life can be a model for yet another generation. To commemorate the 150th birthday of this icon of American decency and fairness, Knight’s biography is a book that begs to be given as a present to others." -- James McGrath Morris, author of Pulitzer: A Life in Politics, Print, and Power"As the granddaughter of a Hull House teacher, I read this beautiful biography with a sort of intimate awe. This biography is a gift to my generation, a call for us to be as courageous and visionary in our own time as Jane Addams was in hers." -- Courtney E. Martin, author of Do It Anyway: The New Generation of Activists"Jane Addams lives in these pages. So does her work and wisdom on such ongoing concerns as immigration, the intertwined restrictions of sex and race, striving for peace in a nation at war, and acting locally while thinking globally. Thanks to Louise Knight, we can meet an experienced organizer and a friend we need right now." -- Gloria Steinem

The University of Michigan Press The Impracticality of Practical Research
Book SynopsisExplores the idea that practical and useful knowledge historically changes over time under the guises of educational reform, instructional improvement, and professionalisation. Thomas Popkewitz explores how the research to correct social wrongs paradoxically is entangled with the inscription of differences in its efforts to be inclusive.Trade ReviewThe book contributes to a broad intellectual program of rethinking the taken-for-granted terms and ideas of education.

University of California Press Planning in the Face of Power
Book SynopsisWhy do our best-laid plans often over-reach and under-achieve? Why do our attempts to solve problems in some rational way often run afoul of politics and power? Why do we so often accomplish so little, even as we sense that so much more is possible? By looking closely at the work of city planners, Planning in the Face of Power addresses these questions and provides a new way of thinking about the practical and inevitably political work of improving our neighborhoods, schools, community organizations, and the public institutions that shape our lives. Power and inequality are realities that planners of all kinds must face in the practical world. In Planning in the Face of Power, John Forester argues that effective, public-serving planners can overcome the traditional--but paralyzing--dichotomies of being either professional or political, detached and distantly rational or engaged and change-oriented. Because inequalities of power directly structure planning practice, planners who are blind to relations of power will inevitably fail. Forester shows how, in the face of the conflict-ridden demands of practice, planners can think politically and rationally at the same time, avoid common sources of failure, and work to advance both a vision of the broader public good and the interests of the least powerful members of society. This book provides a systematic reformulation of the politics of professional practice in the arena of city planning, public policy making, and public administration and management. It has immediate implications for the study of administration and management and for students of administration and planning in schools of social work, education, and public health. While focusing concretely on problems of planning practice (e.g. planners' sources of influence, their difficulties of listening critically, their understandings of the politics of organizations), Planning in the Face of Power brings to bear a wide range of theoretical insights and so integrates social and political theory with the demands of actual practice. Accordingly, the book will be important to practitioners who seek to understand the pressures they face at work as well as social theorists who wish to integrate theory and practice more powerfully, but will also appeal to the general reader interested in gaining an understanding of the practice of planning in the face of the realities of social equality and power.Table of Contents List of Tables Preface Part One.

Book SynopsisTells the story of social injustice, racialized policing, nationally profiled shootings, and the ambiguousness of black life in a suburban context.This title examines a fraught police-citizen interface, where blacks are segregated and yet forced to negotiate overlapping spaces with their more affluent white counterparts.Trade Review"Boyles brings two fresh perspectives to the table of policing literature. First, her focus is on suburbia rather than the more traditional policing milieu of cities. Second, she expands the conversation from the police to the body politic as a whole. This latter novelty is arguably the most important addition Boyles makes to the policing literature." Criminal Law and Criminal Justice Books "Rarely do we scrutinize the persistent inequalities between white and black America at the root of these social problems. It is in this context that Andrea Boyles' book Race, Place, and Suburban Policing is so timely... informative." Contemporary Sociology "Boyles presents a unique and innovative understanding of the relationship between race, place, and policing."
