Documenting DesegregationRacial and Gender Segregation in Private-Sector Employment Since the Civil Rights Act

KEvin StAinbACK and DonAlD tomASKoviC-DEvEy

E nacted nearly 50 years ago, the Civil Rights Act codified a new vision for American society by formally ending segregation and banning race and gen-der discrimination in the workplace. But how much change did the legislation

actually produce? As employers responded to the law, did new and more subtle forms of inequality emerge in the workplace? In an insightful analysis that combines history with a rigorous empirical analysis of newly available data, Documenting Desegregation offers the most comprehensive account to date of what has happened to equal oppor-tunity in America—and what more needs to be done in order to achieve a truly integrated workforce.

Weaving strands of history, cognitive psychology, and demography, Documenting Desegregation provides a com-pelling exploration of the ways legislation can affect employer behavior and produce change. Authors Kevin Stainback and Donald Tomaskovic-Devey use a remarkable historical record—data from more than six million workplaces col-lected by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) since 1966—to present a sobering portrait of race and gender in the American workplace. Progress has been decidedly uneven: black men, black women, and white women have prospered in firms that rely on educational credentials when hiring, though white women have advanced more quickly. And white men have hardly fallen behind—they now hold more managerial positions than they did in 1964. The authors argue that the Civil Rights Act’s equal opportunity clauses have been most effective when accompanied by social movements demanding changes. EEOC data show that African American men made rapid gains in the 1960s at the height of the Civil Rights movement. Similarly, white women gained access to more professional and managerial jobs in the 1970s as regulators and policymakers began to enact and enforce gender discrimination laws. By the 1980s, however, racial desegregation had stalled, reflecting the dimmed status of the Civil Rights agenda. Racial and gender employment segregation remain high today, and, alarmingly, many firms, particularly in high-wage industries, seem to be moving in the wrong direction and have shown signs of resegregating since the 1980s. To counter this worrying trend, the authors propose new methods to increase diversity by changing industry norms, holding human resources managers to account, and exerting renewed government pressure on large corporations to make equal employment opportunity a national priority.

At a time of high unemployment and rising inequality, Documenting Desegregation provides an incisive re-examination of America’s tortured pursuit of equal employment opportunity. This important new book will be an indispensable guide for those seeking to understand where America stands in fulfilling its promise of a workplace free from discrimination.

The American Non-DilemmaRacial Inequality Without Racism

NANcy DITomAso

T he Civil Rights movement of the 1960s seemed to mark a historical turning point in advancing the American dream of equal opportunity for all citizens, regardless of race. Yet 50 years on, racial inequality remains a troubling fact

of life in American society and its causes are highly contested. In The American Non-Dilemma, sociologist Nancy DiTomaso convincingly argues that America’s enduring racial divide is sustained more by whites’ preferential treatment of members of their own social networks than by overt racial discrimination. Drawing on research from sociology, political science, history, and psychology, as well as her own interviews with

a cross-section of non-Hispanic whites, DiTomaso provides a comprehensive examination of the persistence of racial inequality in the post-Civil Rights era and how it plays out in today’s economic and political context.

Taking Gunnar Myrdal’s classic work on America’s racial divide, The American Dilemma, as her departure point, DiTomaso focuses on “the white side of the race line.” To do so, she interviewed a sample of working, middle, and upper class whites about their life histories, political views, and general outlook on racial inequality in America. While the vast majority of whites profess strong support for civil rights and equal opportunity regardless of race, they continue to pursue their own group-based advantage, especially in the labor market where whites tend to favor other whites in securing jobs protected from market competition. This “opportunity hoarding” leads to substantially improved life outcomes for whites due to their greater access to social resources from family, schools, churches, and other institutions with which they are engaged.

DiTomaso also examines how whites understand the persistence of racial inequality in a society where whites are, on average, the advantaged racial group. Most whites see themselves as part of the solution rather than part of the problem with regard to racial inequality. Yet they continue to harbor strong reservations about public policies—such as affirmative action—intended to ameliorate racial inequality. In effect, they accept the principles of civil rights but not the implementation of policies that would bring about greater racial equality. DiTomaso shows that the political engagement of different groups of whites is affected by their views of how civil rights policies impact their ability to provide advantages to family and friends. This tension between civil and labor rights is evident in Republicans’ use of anti-civil rights platforms to attract white voters, and in the efforts of Democrats to bridge race and class issues, or civil and labor rights broadly defined. As a result, DiTomaso finds that whites are, at best, uncer-tain allies in the fight for racial equality.

Weaving together research on both race and class, along with the life experiences of DiTomaso’s interview subjects, The American Non-Dilemma provides a compelling exploration of how racial inequality is reproduced in today’s society, how people come to terms with the issue in their day-to-day experiences, and what these trends may signify in the contemporary political landscape.

The Changing Face of World CitiesYoung Adult Children of Immigrants in Europe and the United States

MAUrICE CrUl and John MollEnkopF, editors Foreword by Cem Özdemir

A seismic population shift is taking place as many formerly racially homogeneous cities in the West attract a diverse influx of newcomers seeking economic and social advancement. In The Changing Face of World Cities, a distinguished group

of immigration experts presents the first systematic, data-based comparison of the lives of young adult children of immigrants growing up in seventeen big cities of Western Europe and the United States. Drawing on a comprehensive set of surveys, this important book brings together new evidence about the international immigrant experience and provides far-reaching lessons for devising more effective public policies.

The Changing Face of World Cities pairs European and American researchers to explore how youth of immigrant origin negotiate educational systems, labor markets, gender, neighborhoods, citizenship, and iden-tity on both sides of the Atlantic. Maurice Crul and his coauthors compare the educational trajectories of second-generation Mexicans in Los Angeles with second-generation Turks in Western European cities. In the U.S., uneven school quality in disadvantaged immigrant neighborhoods and the high cost of college are the main barriers to educational advancement, while in some European countries, rigid early selection sorts many students off the college track and into dead-end jobs. Liza Reisel, Laurence Lessard-Phillips, and Phil Kasinitz find that while more young members of the second generation are employed in the U.S. than in Europe, they are also likely to hold low-paying jobs that barely lift them out of poverty. In Europe, where immigrant youth suffer from higher unemployment, the embattled European welfare system still yields them a higher standard of living than many of their American counterparts. Turning to issues of identity and belonging, Jens Sch-neider, Leo Chávez, Louis DeSipio, and Mary Waters find that it is far easier for the children of Dominican or Mexican immigrants to identify as American, in part because the U.S. takes hyphenated identities for granted. In Europe, religious bias against Islam makes it hard for young people of Turkish origin to identify strongly as German, French, or Swedish. Editors Maurice Crul and John Mollenkopf conclude that despite the barriers these youngsters encounter on both continents, they are making real progress relative to their parents and are beginning to close the gap with the native-born.

The Changing Face of World Cities goes well beyond existing immigration literature focused on the U.S. experience to show that national policies on each side of the Atlantic can be enriched by lessons from the other.

For Love and MoneyCare Provision in the United States

NaNCy FoLbre, editor

A s women moved into the formal labor force in large numbers over the last forty years, care work—traditionally provided primarily by women—has increasingly shifted from the family arena to the market. Child care, elder

care, care for the disabled, and home care now account for a growing segment of low-wage work in the United States. But the expanding market provision of care has cre-ated new economic anxieties and raised pointed questions: Why do women continue to do most care work, both paid and unpaid? Why does care work remain low paid when the quality of care is so highly valued? In For Love and Money, an interdisciplin-

ary team of experts explores the theoretical dilemmas of care provision and provides an unprecedented empirical overview of the looming problems for the care sector in the United States.

Drawing on diverse disciplines and areas of expertise, For Love and Money develops an innovative framework to analyze existing care policies and suggest potential directions for care policy and future research. Contributors Paula England, Nancy Folbre, and Carrie Leana explore the range of motivations for caregiving, such as familial responsibility or limited job prospects, and why both love and money can be efficient motivators. They also examine why women tend to specialize in the provision of care, citing factors like job discrimination, social pressure, or the personal motivation to provide care reported by many women. Suzanne Bianchi, Nancy Folbre, and Douglas Wolf estimate how much unpaid care is being provided in the United States and show that low-income families rely more on unpaid family members for their child and elder care than do affluent families. With low wages and little savings, these families

often find it difficult to provide care and earn enough money to stay afloat. Candace Howes, Carrie Leana, and Kris-tin Smith investigate the dynamics within the paid care sector and find problematic wages and working conditions, including high turnover, inadequate training, and a “pay penalty” for workers who enter care jobs. These conditions have consequences: poor job quality in child care and adult care also leads to poor care quality. In their chapters, Janet Gornick, Candace Howes, and Laura Braslow provide a systematic inventory of public policies that directly shape the provision of care for children or for adults who need personal assistance, such as family leave, child care tax credits, and Medicaid-funded long-term care. They conclude that income and variations in states’ policies are the greatest factors determining how well, and for whom, the current system works. Despite the demand for care work, very little public policy attention has been devoted to it. Only three states, for example, have enacted paid family leave programs.

Paid or unpaid, care costs those who provide it. At the heart of For Love and Money is the understanding that the quality of care work in the United States matters not only for those who receive care but also for society at large, which benefits from the nurturance and maintenance of human capabilities. This volume clarifies the pressing need for Amer-ica to fundamentally rethink its care policies and increase public investment in this increasingly crucial sector.

The Biological Consequences of Socioeconomic InequalitiesBarBara Wolfe, WIllIam N. evaNS, and TereSa e. SeemaN

S ocial scientists have repeatedly uncovered a disturbing feature of economic inequality: people with larger incomes and better education tend to lead longer, healthier lives. This pattern holds across all ages and for virtually all

measures of health, apparently indicating a biological dimension of inequality. But scholars have only begun to understand the complex mechanisms that drive this disparity. How exactly do financial well-being and human physiology interact? The Biological Consequences of Socioeconomic Inequalities incorporates insights from the social and biological sciences to quantify the biology of disadvantage and to assess how poverty gets under the skin to impact health.

Drawing from unusually rich datasets of biomarkers, brain scans, and socioeconomic measures, Biological Consequences of Socioeconomic Inequalities illustrates exciting new paths to understanding social inequalities in health. Barbara Wolfe, William N. Evans, and Nancy Adler begin the volume with a critical evaluation of the literature on income and health, providing a lucid review of the difficulties of establishing clear causal pathways between the two variables. In their chapter, Arun S. Karlamangla, Tara L. Gru-enewald, and Teresa E. Seeman outline the potential of biomarkers—such as cholesterol, heart pressure and C-reactive protein—to assess and indicate the factors underlying health. Edith Chen, Hannah M. C. Schreier, and Meanne Chan reveal the empirical power of biomarkers by examining asthma, a condition steeply correlated with socioeconomic status. Their analysis shows how stress at the individual, family, and neighborhood levels can increase the incidence of asthma. The volume then turns to cognitive neurosci-ence, using biomarkers in a new way to examine the impact of poverty on brain development. Jamie Han-son, Nicole Hair, Amitabh Chandra, Ed Moss, Jay Bhattacharya, Seth D. Pollack, and Barbara Wolfe use a longitudinal Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) study of children between the ages of four and eighteen to study the link between poverty and limited cognition among children. Michelle C. Carlson, Christopher L. Seplaki, and Teresa E. Seeman also focus on brain development to examine the role of socioeconomic status in cognitive decline among older adults.

Featuring insights from the biological and social sciences, Biological Consequences of Socioeconomic Inequalities will be an essential resource for scholars interested in socioeconomic disparities and the bio-logical imprint that material deprivation leaves on the human body.

Coping with CrisisGovernment Reactions to the Great Recession

NaNCy BeRmeo and JoNas PoNtussoN, editors

T he financial crisis that erupted on Wall Street in 2008 quickly cascaded through-out much of the advanced industrial world. Facing the specter of another Great Depression, policymakers across the globe responded in sharply different ways to

avert an economic collapse. Why did the response to the crisis—and its impact on indi-vidual countries—vary so greatly among interdependent economies? How did political factors like public opinion and domestic interest groups shape policymaking in this moment of economic distress? Coping with Crisis offers a rigorous analysis of the choices societies made as a devastating global economic crisis unfolded.

With an ambitiously broad range of inquiry, Coping with Crisis examines the interaction between international and domestic politics to shed new light on the inner workings of democratic politics. The volume opens with an engaging overview of the global crisis and the role played by international bodies like the G-20 and the WTO. In his survey of international initiatives in response to the recession, Eric Helleiner emphasizes the limits of multilateral crisis management, finding that domestic pressures were more important in reorienting fiscal policy. He also argues that unilateral decisions by national govern-ments to hold large dollar reserves played the key role in preventing a dollar crisis, which would have considerably worsened the downturn. David R. Cameron discusses the fiscal responses of the European Union and its member states. He suggests that a profound coordination problem involving fiscal and economic policy impeded the E.U.’s ability to respond in a timely and effective manner. The volume also features several case studies and country comparisons. Nolan McCarty assesses the performance of the American political system during the crisis. He argues that the downturn did little to dampen elite polarization in the U.S.; divisions within the Democratic Party—as well as the influence of the financial sector—narrowed the range of policy options available to fight the crisis. Ben W. Ansell examines how fluctuations in housing prices in 30 developed countries affected the policy preferences of both citizens and political parties. His evidence shows that as housing prices increased, homeowners expressed prefer-

ences for both lower taxes and a smaller safety net. As more citizens supplement their day-to-day income with assets like stocks and housing, Ansell’s research reveals a potentially significant trend in the formation of public opinion.

Five years on, the prospects for a prolonged slump in economic activity remain high, and the policy choices going forward are contentious. But the policy changes made between 2007 and 2010 will likely constrain any new initiatives in the future. Coping with Crisis offers unmatched analysis of the decisions made in the developed world during this critical period. It is an essential read for scholars of comparative politics and anyone interested in a com-prehensive account of the new international politics of austerity.

Affluence and InfluenceEconomic Inequality and Political Power in America

MArtIn GIlEns

C an a country be a democracy if its government only responds to the pref-erences of the rich? In an ideal democracy, all citizens should have equal influence on government policy—but as this book demonstrates, America’s

policymakers respond almost exclusively to the preferences of the economically advan-taged. Affluence and Influence definitively explores how political inequality in the United States has evolved over the last several decades and how this growing disparity has been shaped by interest groups, parties, and elections.

With sharp analysis and an impressive range of data, Martin Gilens looks at thousands of proposed policy changes, and the degree of support for each among poor, middle-class, and affluent Americans. His findings are staggering: when preferences of low- or middle-income Americans diverge from those of the affluent, there is virtually no relationship between policy outcomes and the desires of less advantaged groups. In contrast, affluent Americans’ preferences exhibit a substantial relationship with policy outcomes whether their preferences are shared by lower income groups or not. Gilens shows that representational inequality is spread widely across different policy domains and time periods. Yet Gilens also shows that under specific circumstances the prefer-ences of the middle class and, to a lesser extent, the poor, do seem to matter. In particular, impending elections—especially presidential elections—and an even partisan division in Congress mitigate representational inequality and boost responsiveness to the preferences of the broader public.

At a time when economic and political inequality in the United States only continues to rise, Affluence and Influ-ence raises important questions about whether American democracy is truly responding to the needs of all its citizens.

Choosing Ethnicity, Negotiating RaceKorean Adoptees in America

MiA TuAN and JiANNbiN LEE ShiAo

“Choosing Ethnicity, Negotiating Race . . . gives critical insights into the unique experience of Korean adoptees. This book provides depth of detail and background, making it one of the most complete resources available on this subject. As a first-generation Korean adoptee, much of what is described by adoptees in this book resonates with me. Tuan and Shiao have done an excellent job of providing supporting information and research, but let the voices of the adoptees tell their own stories of navi-gating the nuances of being a Korean American adoptee. The result is a profoundly good read.” —Susan Soon-Keum Cox, Holt International

“Using in-depth interviews, Tuan and Shiao reveal the ways in which ethnicity, race, and culture overlap, intersect, and remain distinct in the everyday lives of adopted Korean Americans. Equally, if not more, important, Tuan and Shiao make public the personal voices and narratives of adopted Korean American adults whose stories have long been appro-priated by adoptive parents and adoption agencies.”—Richard M.

Envy up, Scorn Downhow Status Divides us

SuSAN T. FiSKE

“An accomplished social scientist and leader in the field of social psychology, Fiske writes in her thoughtful, data-driven book Envy Up, Scorn Down that . . . certain social groups are perceived by human brains as, quite simply, ‘less typically human.’ This fascinating data point is one of many Fiske corrals to support her central argument, that we humans constantly compare ourselves to one another and our groups to other groups. The two emotions that result from all these compari-sons—envy and scorn—lie at the heart of a vast number of interpersonal, societal, and international

problems. . . . Overall, Fiske makes a strong argument for the cognitive and emotional processes that underlie everyday inequalities and their social consequences.”—Science

“Of all the seven deadly sins, envy is the one that nobody ever boasts about. In this fascinating and important book, Susan Fiske explores this taboo topic, explaining the universal human obsession with status. She shows how our complex feelings towards those above us and below us can be adaptive and beneficial; they can motivate us as individuals and bind us together as groups. Or they can make us miserable, tearing apart families and communities, and fueling hatred and war. This is an engaging book by a great scientist and a deep thinker.”—Paul Bloom, Yale University

From Parents to ChildrenThe Intergenerational Transmission of Advantage

John ErmIsCh, mArkus JänTTI, and TImoThy m. smEEdIng, editors

“Parents’ socioeconomic status affects later child outcomes in all of the advanced nations studied in this fascinating book, but nowhere is this relationship stronger than in the United States. How can we make children’s life chances more equal without interfering with the rights of parents and the efficiency of the economy? This book does not provide all of the answers but it contains a wealth of data and analysis with important implications for both research and policy. From Parents to Children is a tour de force.”—Isabel Sawhill, The Brookings Institution

“Intergenerational transmission of resources and rewards has gained more interest with the increase in income inequality during the last thirty years. In this book a number of first-rate scholars review how outcomes depend on various condi-tions in childhood.

The Great RecessionDaviD B. GRusky, BRuce WesTeRn, and chRisTopheR WimeR, editors

“This is the first systematic, scholarly analysis of the initial effects of the Great Recession on the well-being of American workers and families. The authors analyze historical and recent data and document who lost their jobs, their homes, their financial assets; how the Federal stimulus bill enhanced the safety net for the poor and unemployed; and how individuals, families, and institutions responded to the economic shocks. Taken together, the chapters present a gloomy forecast. Job losses have been greater and the recovery slower than in other recessions, and the ‘deficit mania’ that pre-vents new Federal stimulus and encourages state and local government layoffs mean that unemploy-ment and poverty will remain high for at least the next five years.”—Sheldon H. Danziger, University of Michigan

Whither opportunity?Rising inequality, schools, and children’s Life chances

GReG J. Duncan and RichaRD J. muRnane, editors

“Whither Opportunity? examines in detail and from all conceivable angles the power of class to determine the developmental fate of America’s children. From this volume, we learn that children in communities experiencing unemployment do worse in school even if their own families are safe from its reach; that test score gaps by income are larger and growing faster than the gaps between black and white; that expenditures by high-income families on enrichment of all kinds is vastly larger than what low-income families can afford. All of this adds up to a new and troubling examination of the ways in which income inequality is pressing the nation’s children, youth, neighborhoods, schools, and families. I don’t often use the overworked phrase, ‘must read,’ but it most definitely applies to this book.”—Katherine S. Newman, Johns Hopkins University

Good Jobs AmericaMaking Work Better for Everyone

PAUL OSTERMAn and BETh ShULMAn

“At a time of fierce debate over America’s economic future, this fresh and deeply researched book provides a welcome antidote to the complacent conventional wisdom that good jobs are gone for good. [The authors] produce a powerful, informed case for making ‘bad’ jobs better. What Oster-man and Shulman show is that doing so would benefit not just low-wage workers. It would also ben-efit our society and our economy more broadly.”—Jacob S. Hacker, Yale University

“There is no more pressing question than how we insure that American workers are able to lay claim to jobs that pay well and hold the promise of economic security. Paul Osterman and his late coauthor, Beth Shulman . . . call for seri-ous union reform, the mobilization of public opinion to pressure firms to do better, and insisting that citizens return the question of good jobs to the campaign trail. There are no easy solutions, but at last we have a book that puts the options on the table. We will be debating its conclusions for a long time to come.”—Katherine Newman, Johns Hop-kins University

Reaching for a New DealAmbitious Governance, Economic Meltdown, and Polarized Politics in Obama’s First Two Years

ThEDA SkOcPOl and lAwRENcE R. JAcObS, editors

“This is social science at its best, using the insights of the academy to help shed light on contemporary politics. In this collection, some of the nation’s best political scientists offer a powerful look at the first years of the Obama presidency. This balanced and thoughtful book provides a wonderful analysis of the institutional and organizational contexts within which this administration has operated, as well as the strategic choices that enabled Obama to build a sizable legislative record. Reaching for a New Deal helps us understand how the president was able to craft so much ambitious legislation even as the political atmosphere became more polarized with each passing day. Through Obama, we learn more about why parties can make progress in some areas of policy despite institutional obstacles but not others. A must read for anyone interested in a serious look at contemporary politics.”—Julian E. Zelizer, professor of history and public affairs, Princeton University

where Are All the Good Jobs Going?what National and local Job Quality and Dynamics Mean for U.S. workers

hARRY J. hOlzER, JUliA i. lANE, DAviD b. ROSENblUM, and FREDRik ANDERSSON

“Reversing the rise in income inequality and the increasing polarization of the labor market will take a concerted focus on both the quality of jobs employers create and the education and skills of the workforce. Using a unique matched data set of employers and employees, Where Are All the Good Jobs Going? provides a new take on some old issues, importantly on the relationship between job quality and job displacement and on strategies metropolitan areas can use to support new businesses that create good jobs.” —Eileen Appelbaum, senior economist, Center for Economic and Policy Research

They Say Cut Back, We Say Fight Back!Welfare Activism in an Era of Retrenchment

EllEn REESE

“With this beautifully conceived and passionate study of grassroots mobilization after ‘the end of wel-fare as we know it,’ Ellen Reese reminds us that elites may make policy, but they do not do so alone, but rather in the face of struggle and protest by those who refuse to have their dignity, rights, and live-lihood curtailed in the name of neoliberalism.”—Eileen Boris, University of California, Santa Barbara

“In this meticulously researched book, Ellen Reese looks not at why welfare reform was passed, but how it was implemented, arguing that implementation became an opportunity for policymaking. She brilliantly exam-ines how citizens mobilized in welfare rights campaigns to replace public assistance for legal immigrants, to respond to the privatization of welfare services, to organize welfare recipients as workers, and to expand and improve subsidized childcare.”—Joya Misra, University of Massachusetts Amherst

The Broken TableThe Detroit newspaper Strike and the State of American labor

ChRiS RhomBERg

“In prose both accessible and dramatic, Chris Rhomberg has given us a profound and carefully detailed analysis of a landmark struggle between labor and management in the ’90s. But Professor Rhomberg’s work is not only an authoritative chronicle of the 1995 Detroit newspaper strike—one of the most important cases to come before me during my National Labor Relations Board tenure. It is also a broad, sweeping, and profound examination of the state of labor-management relations today and historically in the United States and an important discussion about the ongoing need

for labor law reform. His book effectively links the changing bargaining table and its erosion to the growing inequality in our society. The Broken Table is must reading for all concerned with the changing labor landscape, Detroit, and the political-economic challenges ahead.”—William B. Gould IV, chairman, National Labor Relations Board (1994–1998)

American MemoriesAtrocities and the Law

JoAchiM J. SAveLSberg and ryAn D. King

Winner of the 2012 SSSP Social Problems Theory Section Outstanding Book Award

“Through close case study analysis Joachim Savelsberg and Ryan King provide the most insightful account to date of the relationships between collective memory and law, atrocity and institutional response. Situated at the intersection of comparative, cultural, and socio-legal scholarship, the book will be influential in each of these. American Memories breaks new ground in thinking through how society thinks about the unthinkable.”—Philip Smith, Yale University

“What is the role of law in shaping collective memory, and what is the role of collective memory in shaping law? Can, how, and does law work through collective memory to help us prevent or avoid future atrocities? By empirically testing hypotheses about the connections between law and memory, by specifying the mechanisms of these connections, and by illustrating complex and interesting cases, American Memories makes an invaluable contribution to the discourse and will be an enduring resource for students and scholars alike.”—Jeffrey Olick, University of Virginia

Social Movements in the World-SystemThe Politics of crisis and Transformation

JAcKie SMiTh and DAWn WieST

“Jackie Smith and Dawn Wiest see in the world polity strengthened opportunities for transnational social movements, their increased capacity to mobilize antisystemic challenges, and a shift in the bases of power from territorial to normative claims. Not everyone will agree with their bold claims, but serious students of the world polity will need to take them seriously.”—Sidney Tarrow, Cornell Law School

“A . . . very comprehensive analytic integration of the realities of worldwide social movements and their theorization. Social Movements in the World-System permits us to appreciate and integrate the new spectacular occupy movements as something with deep roots in what has happened over the past fifty years.”—Immanuel Wallerstein, Yale University

Gendered TradeoffsFamily, Social Policy, and Economic Inequality in Twenty-One Countries

BECky PETTIT and JEnnIFEr L. HOOk

“Becky Pettit and Jennifer L. Hook have asked exactly the right questions, placing this book on the frontier of comparative research on women, work, and social policy. After a generation of researchers assessed the advantageous effects of work-family policies, comparative scholars are now focused on understanding and untangling the possibility of unintended consequences—especially those that might worsen aspects of gender inequality in the labor market. Pettit and Hook conclude that some institutions that enable high levels of women’s employment may, at the same time, reduce the relative

quality of that employment. While some of the volume’s conclusions are open to debate, Gendered Tradeoffs propels this crucial line of scholarship forward in leaps and bounds.”—Janet Gornick, director, Luxembourg Income Study, and pro-fessor of political science and sociology, Graduate Center, CUNY

Invisible MenMass Incarceration and the Myth of Black Progress

BECky PETTIT

“In this brilliant and timely book, Becky Pettit systematically upends a generation of social sci-ence research on American racial progress. With clear prose and convincing evidence, Invisible Men shows how the failure to properly count prisoners has distorted official statistics on educa-tion, employment, politics, and health. The book’s policy importance cannot be overstated: unless and until we improve data quality, our policy efforts will be guided by a funhouse mirror image rather than reliable and accurate social facts. Even as Invisible Men demonstrates that things are

sometimes worse than they appear, however, it offers a hopeful reform agenda for improving our data and our policy prescriptions.”—Christopher Uggen, University of Minnesota

“Making the Work-Based Safety Net Work Better presents a clear picture of the challenges that low-income workers and their families face after welfare reform, and of potential policy changes that could improve their economic prospects.”—Harry J. Holzer, Georgetown University

“The first book by accomplished scholars based on the controversial assumption that encouraging and rewarding work is the foundation of the nation’s social policy for the poor. Given the prestige of the editors and authors, the quality of writing, and the originality of thought and proposals, anyone interested in the next generation of policies to help the poor should start with this seminal volume.”—Ron Haskins, The Brookings Institution

“[Steady Gains and Stalled Progress] offers new evidence that highlights the complexities of racial inequality and provides a basis for cautious optimism for the future.”—Adam Gamoran, University of Wisconsin–Madison

“The black-white gap in test scores is one of the most stubborn and mystifying challenges facing the United States. And while it is hard to separate fact from statistical artifact and personal belief, Kath-erine Magnuson and Jane Waldfogel have produced a thorough and insightful volume that accomplishes just that. Even experts in education policy will come away having learned something new.”—Cecilia E. Rouse, Princeton University

Nurturing DadsSocial Initiatives for Contemporary Fatherhood

WIllIam marSIglIo and KevIN roy

“In this wide-ranging, insightful, and kaleidoscopic journey across the increasingly diverse social land-scape of American fatherhood, William Marsiglio and Kevin Roy breathe fresh air into a stale debate. They illumine men’s growing aspirations for close involvement in their children’s lives, even when they face economic disadvantage and physical separation. Nurturing Dads makes it abundantly clear that it is time to jettison narrow definitions of manhood and develop social policies that reach well beyond the limited model of fathers as only breadwinners.”—Kathleen Gerson, New York University

“Nurturing Dads outlines some of the most pressing challenges facing fathers today. Written by two leading fathering scholars, it makes timely and important contributions to our understandings of the relationships between social policies and men’s caregiving. This beautifully written book is a must read for academics, policymakers, and community leaders interested in learning how to promote nurturing and engaged fatherhood.”—Andrea Doucet, Brock University

This comprehensive book highlights the very real challenges that children and youth with disabilities and their families face, demonstrating the ways in which public and private supports can ease or exacerbate those challenges.”—Valerie Leiter, Simmons College

“Dennis Hogan has written a ground-breaking study of the consequences that raising a child with a disability has for family life. His empathy for these families is clear, and his analyses are rigorous and insightful. I know of no other treatment of the subject that is like it.”—Andrew J. Cherlin, Benjamin H.

MARy-Jo DelveCChio GooD, SARAh S. Willen, Seth DonAl hAnnAh, Ken viCKeRy, and lAWRenCe tAeSenG PARK, editors

“Shattering Culture . . . carefully examines the mantra of ‘cultural competence.’ While valuing different cultural frameworks and emphasizing the need to understand patients from their own perspectives, the authors show how some elements of respect for diversity must be rethought in the face of hard realities of running a health care system.”—Jennifer L. Hochschild, Harvard University

“Shattering Culture humanizes the struggle to provide culturally grounded health care to a patient population that refuses to fit neatly into our tidy conceptual boxes. Drawing from their own insider and outsider perspectives, the editors and authors deliver an unusually empathic yet critical analysis of the various players and practices that interact to shape patient care—for better and for worse.”—Doris F.

Counted outSame-Sex Relations and Americans’ Definitions of Family

BRiAn PoWell, CAtheRine BolzenDAhl, ClAuDiA GeiSt, and lAlA CARR SteelMAn

Winner of the 2011 William J. Goode Award from the ASA’s Section on Family

“Counted Out . . . shows the ambivalence Americans have about including ‘as family’ those arrange-ments that are not based on marriage—heterosexual cohabitation and same-sex parenting and partner-ing. Using rich and unique data, Counted Out also illuminates the limits of the ‘gender revolution.’ Strong gender biases continue to influence who Americans think should have custody of children fol-lowing divorce. Americans also continue to overwhelmingly endorse the practice of women taking their husband’s name at marriage. Anyone interested in family change or change in gender norms will find much food for thought in this excep-tionally well-argued and insightful volume.”—Suzanne Bianchi, University of California, Los Angeles

Facing Social ClassHow Societal Rank Influences Interaction

SuSan T. FISke and Hazel RoSe MaRkuS, editors

“Class may be less visible than gender or skin color, but it is no less consequential. Statistical studies document robust correlations between class and vital events. Facing Social Class digs into those cor-relations to uncover some of the ways people use and experience class distinctions in daily life and at life’s turning points. Leading scholars summarize what is known in their specialties and set the research agenda for this decade. Their fruitful collaboration as psychologists and sociologists shows that progress depends on an interdisciplinary approach to the study of mind, self, and our evermore unequal society.”—Michael Hout, University of California, Berkeley

“Drawing together perspectives from sociology, psychology, anthropology, linguistics, and law, this volume explores the often invisible ways that social class shapes our ideas, institutions, interactions, and identities. Susan T. Fiske and Hazel Rose Markus have brought together state-of-the-art contributions from the social sciences to reveal often overlooked dynamics in the production and reproduction of social class in America.”—Devah Pager, Princeton University

Tiny Publicsa Theory of Group action and Culture

GaRy alan FIne

“In Tiny Publics, Gary Alan Fine synthesizes over three decades of his research to show that there is a substantial gain to understanding how and why small groups create civil society and social order. The implications are intuitive, compelling, and profound, and should lead us to reconsider every-thing from art worlds to the Arab Spring. All in all, it is further evidence that Fine is one of the most gifted ethnographers and sociologists of our time.”—Damon J. Phillips, Columbia University

“Using such evocative phrases as ‘sociological miniaturism,’ the ‘sociology of the local,’ ‘idiocultures,’ and ‘peopled orga-nizations,’ Gary Alan Fine has long offered the best and most insistent reminder to sociologists to attend to the interac-tional fields of small groups in order to understand . . . well, anything. In his new book Tiny Publics, Fine continues in this rich vein, showing how large-scale social forces are always deeply embedded in, and inexorably the product of, the microdynamics of group settings.”—Amy Binder, University of California, San Diego

“Asian American Political Participation provides a revealing and nuanced analysis of the political attitudes and voting preferences of the rapidly growing, highly diverse, and increasingly influential population of sixteen million Asian Americans. [The authors have] made an exceptional contribution to public knowledge and research about the growing impact and visibility of Asian American voters, donors, activists, and politicians.”—Don T. Nakanishi, University of California, Los Angeles

“In this theoretically nuanced and empirically sophisticated study, these brilliant young political scientists not only deci-pher the paradoxes of Asian American political engagement, they show why it requires us to redefine our understanding of political participation in America—and how to do so.

The Diversity Paradoximmigration and the Color line in Twenty-First Century America

JEnniFEr lEE and FrAnK D. BEAn

Winner of the 2011 Otis Dudley Duncan Award

“Using an impressive arsenal of quantitative and qualitative data, Jennifer Lee and Frank Bean offer an authoritative analysis of the color line in American society, revealing a remarkable paradox at the heart of contemporary intergroup relations. Although immigration has dramatically increased the share of Asians and Latinos and patterns of intermarriage and self-identification reveal greater racial and ethnic mixing than ever before, one divide continues to stand out: that between African Americans and everyone else. Their careful analysis challenges both glib assertions of a post-racial order as well as pronouncements about the immutability of America’s racial categories. Racial meanings are clearly changing, but whether they will change enough to overcome the age-old ‘American Dilemma’ remains to be seen.”—Douglas S. Massey, The Woodrow Wilson School

Winner of the 2010 Otis Dudley Duncan Award

“Achieving Anew offers a longitudinal perspective on examining how well immigrants adapt to schools, labor markets, and residential communities in multiethnic urban America. Michael White and Jennifer Glick challenge the time-honored wisdom of assimilation and meticulously attend to the intersection of race, class, time, and space in determining upward socioeconomic mobility of contemporary immigrants.”—Min Zhou, UCLA

“[Achieving Anew] brings a much needed examination of national longitudinal data sets to the study of educational and residential incorporation across generations. Michael White and Jennifer Glick demonstrate through nuanced and care-ful analyses that the members of these groups, while substantially improving their situations over time, nonetheless often remain disadvantaged because they start from lower positions.”—Frank D.

keeping the Immigrant Bargainthe costs and rewards of Success in America

VIVIAN louIe

“Immigrants, past and present, endure great hardships in order to secure a better life for their chil-dren. In today’s America the path to that ‘better life’ runs directly through often deeply troubled public schools. In Keeping the Immigrant Bargain, Vivian Louie presents a clear-eyed and rigorous assessment of why some immigrants have used the educational system to great advantage, while oth-ers have been consistently failed by it.”—Philip Kasinitz, The City University of New York

“Keeping the Immigrant Bargain makes a significant contribution to a national issue that transcends immigrants: how to enable working class and poor (or moderate income and poor) youngsters get into, survive, and suc-ceed in four-year colleges. [Louie’s] reporting on the familial, institutional, and other supporting people and systems that help them succeed is particularly valuable. Louie’s writing combines subtle analysis and empathic narrative, and the book is recommended most highly to researchers, educators, and policymakers dedicated to increasing access to college for less affluent Americans.”—Herbert J. Gans, Columbia University

Encountering American Faultlines Race, Class, and the Dominican Experience in Providence

José ItzIgsohn

Winner of the Distinguished Contribution to Scholarship and Research Award for a Book from the Latino/a Section of the ASA.

“In today’s urban America, racial and ethnic identity is a moving target. In this study of the Domini-can community of Providence, Rhode Island, José Itzigsohn describes how living life on the ‘fault-lines’—between blacks, whites, and Latinos, between immigrants and natives—shapes the ways in which newcomers and their children are creating a new place for themselves in an old industrial city. The result is a rich and fascinating account of how the concept of ‘race’ is being transformed before our eyes.”—Philip Kasinitz, City University of New York

“Closely tracking the incorporation trajectories of the Dominican first- and second-generations, Encountering American Faultlines shows how class and race intersect to shape their life opportunities, outlooks, and identities in pervasively racialized and transnationalized social contexts.”—Rubén G. Rumbaut, University of California, Irvine

José ItzIgsohn is associate professor of sociology at Brown University.


Immigrants Raising CitizensUndocumented Parents and their Young Children

hIRokAzU YoshIkAwA

“In all the debates about immigration in the United States, very little attention has been paid to how tomorrow’s citizens—the children of today’s immigrants—are affected by their parents’ undocu-mented status. Immigrants Raising Citizens provides a compelling story about the scarring effects of the lack of access to good jobs and social services among undocumented parents on their citizen children. The failure to provide such parents with the same opportunities available to other adults, whether in the job market or in the community, doesn’t just affect them; it also affects their children and the future productivity of the nation.”—Isabel V. Sawhill, The Brookings Institution

“Dr. Yoshikawa’s book provides a fresh look at the challenges confronting immigrant families with young children in the nation’s largest city. It combines theory and evidence from the fields of demography, sociology, and child development. Above all, it puts a human face on immigrant parents and children by following the lives of several families in detail instead of relying solely on cold analysis of hard data, as is too often the case with the academic literature on this impor-tant subject.”—Randy Capps, Migration Policy Institute

Just Neighbors?Research on African American and Latino Relations in the United States

EdwARd TELLES, MARk Q. SAwyER, and GASpAR RivERA-SALGAdo, editors

“Just Neighbors? is a needed and welcome assessment of African American and Latino relations. As more of the nation’s major cities become majority minority a key question becomes how people and communities of color interact with, understand, and affect one another. Edward Telles and colleagues have pulled together an excellent set of articles that in a rich and mutually informing manner span the fields of anthropology, political science, and sociology. The work highlights the dynamics of group identity and stereotyping processes, of local context and characteristics particu-

larly within the labor market, and especially of community leadership in molding the tenor of group relations. Just Neighbors? provides an important and broad-gauge baseline for serious scholarship on black-Latino relations.” —Lawrence D. Bobo, Harvard University

“A compelling and sobering account of the lives of immigrants in a time of economic downturn and harsh anti-immigrant policies. Based on interviews with first- and second-generation, mostly undocumented, Latinos in the urban northeast, Brokered Boundaries shows how they develop a new sense of themselves and American society in the face of exclusionary barriers. Anyone wanting to understand how immigrants are navigating life in the United States today should read this impor-tant, well-written, and thought-provoking book.”—Nancy Foner, City University of New York

“Based on statistical and ethnographic accounts, Douglas Massey and Magaly Sánchez have written a book that offers an insightful portrait of new Latin American immigrants and also challenges the prevailing anti-immigrant hysteria.” —Charles Hirschman, University of Washington

Immigrants and WelfareThe Impact of Welfare Reform on America’s Newcomers

MIchAel FIx, editor

“In the mid-1990s, the U.S. government not only ‘ended welfare as we know it,’ but it also funda-mentally altered its relationships with immigrants and their progeny through changes in welfare and immigration law that have been much less well-regarded in policy and research circles. The legislative changes created new distinctions in the definition of what it meant to be a member of U.S. society and to be eligible for needed assistance. In this incisive volume, Michael Fix and his colleagues give us the most comprehensive compilation of the evidence on immigrants’ use of public benefits before and after welfare reform. It both challenges some of the popular misconceptions about immigrants’ costs to the polity that fueled a backlash against newcomers to the country in the welfare and immigration law changes of the 1990s, and vigorously informs us about the impacts of those changes for immigrants and their children. Immigrants and Welfare is timely and much-needed.”—Ajay Chaudry, director, Center on Labor, Human Services, and Population, The Urban Institute

Changing Poverty, Changing PoliciesMaria Cancian and Sheldon Danziger, editors

“High rates of poverty were the shame of American capitalism even before the great recession of the late 2000s. The recession will raise poverty to levels not seen since the early 1960s. What can we do? Chang-ing Poverty, Changing Policies documents the factors and decisions that have kept poverty rates high even in good times and then considers evidence-based policies that could help turn the tide in the war on poverty—at least when the recovery comes. Whether you regard the policies as too modest or too far-reaching, the book is invaluable to understanding past failures to reduce poverty and in devising ways to improve on our abysmal record.”—Richard B.

Punishment and Inequality in AmericaBruce Western

“A searing examination of the effects of mass imprisonment on poor black men. Sent to prison in extraordinary numbers, they come out with substantially wors-ened prospects for employment, income, marriage, and responsible parenting. Western has now made these huge, but

little recognized, effects perfectly clear. The exclusion of prisoners from employment statistics makes black employment rates, incomes, and economic progress look much better than they are. [Western’s] mes-sage is clear—racial inequality will not diminish by much until mass imprisonment becomes part of America’s past.”—Michael H. Tonry, University of Minnesota

Inheriting the CityThe Children of Immigrants Come of Age

Philip Kasinitz, John H. Mollenkopf, Mary C. Waters, and Jennifer Holdaway

Winner of the 2010 Distinguished Book Award from the American Sociological Association“In this benchmark study of the second generation, [the authors] report the results from their research on the second generation of the post-1965 immigra-tion. . . . Drawing on their survey and on the face-to-face interviews, the authors analyze the second generation experience—including growing up in neighborhoods, getting an education, finding a job, starting a family, and participating in civil society—to address the claims posed by segmented assimilation theorists. . . . They show that the second gen-eration in the central city, often from humble origins, in fact has fared substantially better than their immigrant parents. For each of the groups they studied, the second generation not only has surpassed the formal schooling of their immigrant parents, but also that of young, antive-born minorities.”—American Journal of Sociology

The Diversity ChallengeSocial Identity and Intergroup Relations on the College Campus

Jim Sidanius, Shana Levin, Colette van Laar, and David O. Sears

“This exceptional book summarizes results from the authors’ landmark study of intergroup relations on the college campus. Through their extensive and multi-faceted longitudinal analysis, [the

authors] provide us with compelling new insights regarding the benefits and challenges of diverse academic environments, and how a range of factors—from the psychological to the structural—can impact students’ social and political attitudes. The Diversity Challenge pushes us to recog-nize the complex and dynamic nature of intergroup relations, taking into account both the attitudes people bring to diverse contexts, and how their attitudes continue to grow and change through experiences with other groups.”—Linda R.

Still Connected Family and Friends in America Since 1970

Claude S. Fischer

“No one knows more about Americans’ social networks than Claude Fischer. His spare and elegant prose cuts through hype about the decline of social ties and presents a definitive and brilliantly nuanced account of our persisting yet subtly changing connections to others.” —Mark Granovetter, Stanford University “Claude Fischer has done us all a valuable service in providing this careful and judicious examination of the data on friendship patterns and social contacts since the 1970s. Once again, it seems, journalists have mostly gotten it wrong in being too eager to identify dramatic trends and relying too readily on shoddy polls. Sometimes the news is that things have actually stayed pretty much the same, even when greater change might have been expected.”—Robert Wuthnow, Princeton University

Karen S. Cook, Margaret Levi, and Russell Hardin, editors

“This collection of essays from diverse scholars will become a standard reference book for those interested in the conditions generating trust and the effects of trust in interpersonal relations, groups, networks, organizations, and institutional systems. Taken together, the essays provide new explanatory insights on the properties and dynamics of trust at the micro, meso, and macro levels of social real-ity. Theoretical insights are illustrated with data collected by a range of methodologies and a wide range of settings. A book that will appeal to researchers and theorists within academia, but equally significant, a book that will prove useful to policy makers and applies social scientists.” —Jonathan H.

Social Commitments in a Depersonalized WorldEdward J. Lawler, Shane R. Thye, and Jeongkoo Yoon

Winner of the 2010 Best Book Award from the ASA’s Rationality and Society Section“One of the most important books ever written in sociology and, indeed, the social sciences in general. It addresses themes as old as the discipline of sociol-ogy: the nature of commitments to social structure, and the degree to which modernization and now globalization have reduced individuals’ commitments. . . . What makes this work special is that it is not yet another speculative treatise, but a very careful, micro-based analysis. At a more theoretical level, this is one of the very few works in the last half century that has addressed the issue of micro-macro linkages with a theory capable of bridging these two realms of the social universe. This is one of the most important theory books written in sociology in my forty-five years as a sociologist.”—Jonathan Turner, University of California, Riverside
