2 Race, Class, and Gender
Race Decoded
Te Genomic Fight for
Social Justice
Catherine Bliss
In 2000, with the success of the
Human Genome Project, scientists
declared the death of race in biology
and medicine. But within fve years,
many of these same scientists had
reversed course and embarked upon
a new hunt for the biological mean-
ing of race. Drawing on personal
interviews and life stories, Race
Decoded takes us into the world of
elite genome scientistsincluding
Francis Collins, director of the
NIH; Craig Venter, the frst person
to create a synthetic genome; and
Spencer Wells, National Geographic
Society explorer-in-residence,
among othersto show how and
why they are formulating new
ways of thinking about race.
The ongoing debates about the role
of race in biology, genetics, and clini-
cal medicine have often produced
more heat than light. Catherine Bliss
takes us on a journey that is bound to
illuminate an important and relatively
unexplored feature of this phenom-
enonthe ways in which leading
scientists in these felds compare in
their thinking about (and use of ) the
concepts of race and ethnicity.

Blinded by Sight
Seeing Race Trough the
Eyes of the Blind
Osagie K. Obasogie
In Blinded by Sight, Osagie K. Obasogie
shares a startling observation made
during discussions with people from
all walks of life who have been blind
since birth: even the blind arent
colorblindblind people understand
race visually, just like everyone
else. Ask a blind person what race
is, and they will more than likely
refer to visual cues such as skin color.
Obasogie fnds that, because blind
people think about race visually,
they orient their lives around these
understandings in terms of who they
are friends with, who they date, and
much more. So what does this mean
for how we live and the laws that
govern our society? Obasogie delves
into these questions and uncovers
how color blindness in law, public
policy, and culture will not lead
us to any imagined racial utopia.
Blinded By Sight is a lucidly and crisply
written exploration of how blind and
sighted individuals understand race as
a visual phenomenon, and how those
understandings are refected within
society. This masterful work is sure to
make an enormous contribution, and
to provoke debate.

Peoples Science
Bodies and Rights on
the Stem Cell Frontier
Ruha Benjamin
Peoples Science uncovers the tension
between scientifc innovation and so-
cial equality, taking the reader inside
Californias 2004 stem cell initiative,
the frst of many state referenda on
scientifc research, to consider the
lives it has afected. Benjamin reveals
the promise and peril of public
participation in science, illuminating
issues of race, disability, gender, and
socio-economic class that serve to
defne certain groups as more or less
deserving in their political aims and
biomedical hopes. Under the shadow
of the free market and in a nation still
at odds with universal healthcare, the
socially marginalized are ofen eager-
ly embraced as test-subjects, yet ofen
are unable to aford new medicines
and treatment regimes as patients.
Ruha Benjamin powerfully contests
the autonomy of scientists and ar-
gues instead for a radically inclusive
public engagement in science. . . . A
must read for students and scholars
interested in science and society, as
well as advocates for more democratic
participation in cutting-edge biotech-
nologies.

3 Race, Class, and Gender
Paint the White House
Black
Barack Obama and the
Meaning of Race in America
Michael P. Jefries
Paint the White House Black flls a
signifcant void in Obama-themed
debate, shifing the emphasis from
the details of Obamas political
career to an understanding of how
race works in America. In this
groundbreaking book, race, rather
than Obama, is the central focus.
Michael P. Jefries approaches
Obamas election and administration
as common cultural ground for
thinking about race. He uncovers
contemporary stereotypes and anxiet-
ies by examining historically rooted
conceptions of race and nationhood,
discourses of biracialism and
Obamas mixed heritage, the pur-
ported emergence of a post-racial
society, and popular symbols of
Michelle Obama as a modern black
woman. In so doing, he casts new
light on how we think about race
and enables us to see how race, in
turn, operates within our daily lives.
A compelling cultural sociology of
political power and state-of-the-art
analysis of the Obama presidency and
contemporary race relations in the
United States.

Race Migrations
Latinos and the Cultural
Transformation of Race
Wendy D. Roth
Behind many current debates on
immigration is the question of how
Latinos will integrate and where they
will ft into the U.S. racial structure.
Race Migrations shows that these
migrants increasingly see themselves
as a Latino racial group. Although
U.S. race relations are becoming
more Latin Americanized by
the presence of Latinos and their
views about race, race in the home
countries is also becoming more
Americanized through the cultural
infuence of those who go abroad. In
this groundbreaking study of Puerto
Rican and Dominican migration to
the United States, Roth shows that
several systems of racial classifcation
and stratifcation co-exist in each
place, in the minds of individuals
and in their shared cultural under-
standings of how race works.
Roths superb study transcends the
existing literature on migration and
race by demonstrating how concepts
of race and ethnicity are continually
refashioned in a transnational space.

4 Race, Class, and Gender
When Half Is Whole
Multiethnic Asian
American Identities
Stephen Murphy-Shigematsu
In this touching, introspective, and
insightful exploration of mixed race
Asian American experiences, Stephen
Murphy-Shigematsu shares stories
of people of biracial and mixed
ethnicity. Across twelve chapters,
his refections are interspersed
among profles of these people and
accounts of their journeys to answer
a seemingly simple question: Who
am I? With its attention on people
who have been regarded as half
this or half that throughout
their lives, these stories make vivid
the process of becoming whole.
A beautiful book, a near-perfect bridge
of genres, scholarly in its insights, but
rich in stories and the voices of mixed-
race, complicatedly Asian individuals.
Murphy-Shigematsu tells their stories
in prose that is like cool water running
down hill. I read the book in one sit-
ting, I will surely read it again when I
need its wisdom, or when I just want
to enjoy the company of Stephen
Murphy-Shigematsus unique voice
and his irenic spirit.

White Bound
Nationalists, Antiracists, and
the Shared Meanings of Race
Matthew W. Hughey
Discussions of race are inevitably
fraught with tension, both in opinion
and positioning. Too frequently,
debates are framed as clear points
of oppositionus versus them.
And when considering white racial
identity, a split between progressive
movements and a neoconservative
backlash is all too frequently as-
sumed. Taken at face value, it would
seem that whites are splintering into
antagonistic groups, with difering
worldviews, values, and ideological
stances. Tis book investigates
these dividing lines, questioning
the very notion of a fracturing
whiteness, and in so doing ofers a
unique view of white racial identity.
Hughey demonstrates the depths
and power of the centuries-old white
racial frame in the minds of whites.
Consciously and unconsciously, whites
in both explicitly racist and openly
antiracist groups make signifcant use
of racialized social capital and white-
centered identities, understandings,
and meanings. This is a bold study by
a savvy new talent in sociology.

Barrios to Burbs
Te Making of the Mexican
American Middle Class
Jody Agius Vallejo
Vallejo tackles an extremely important
topic which others have not been
willing or able to seethe rise of a
Mexican American middle class. Chal-
lenging prevailing views, this book fo-
cuses not on predictions of downward
assimilation, but on the real means by
which children of Mexican immigrants
are joining the middle class.

6 Race, Class, and Gender
Broke
How Debt Bankrupts the
Middle Class
Edited by Katherine Porter
About 1.5 million households
fled bankruptcy in the last year,
making bankruptcy as common
as college graduation and divorce.
Te recession has pushed more
and more families into fnancial
collapsewith unemployment,
declines in retirement wealth, and
falling house values destabilizing
the middle class. Broke explores
the consequences of this unprec-
edented growth in consumer debt
and shows how excessive borrow-
ing undermines the prosperity
of middle class America.
Too many American families are
deep in debt because their wages
havent kept up, their jobs are van-
ishing, and their homes worth less
and less. Its not only a human trag-
edy for them but also a national
problem as their debt burden
hobbles the American economy
and their inability to repay cripples
lenders. What should be done?
Here is a useful and insightful
guide to policies that can help.

Income Inequality
Economic Disparities
and the Middle Class in
Afuent Countries
Edited by Janet C. Gornick
and Markus Jntti
Tis state-of-the-art volume presents
comparative, empirical research on
a topic that has long preoccupied
scholars, politicians, and everyday
citizens: economic inequality. While
income and wealth inequality across
all populations is the primary focus,
the contributions to this book pay
special attention to the middle class,
a segment ofen not addressed in
inequality literature. Te research
also casts important light on how
economic inequality afects and is
afected by gender disparities, labor
markets, institutions, and politics.
Written by leading scholars in the
feld of economic inequality, all 17
chapters draw on microdata from
the databases of LIS, an esteemed
cross-national data center based in
Luxembourg. Te volume also trail-
blazes new research into inequality in
countries that have recently entered
LIS or are in the pipeline: Japan,
Iceland, India, and South Africa.
This is one of the most important
books on inequality published in the
past decade. Focusing on what has
happened to the middle class since
the 1980s, during a period of substan-
tial economic and political restructur-
ing, this volumes remarkable insights
and infuence will span disciplines.

Determined to Succeed?
Performance versus Choice
in Educational Attainment
Edited by Michelle Jackson
Determined to Succeed? is the frst
book to ofer a comprehensive
cross-national examination of
the roles of performance and
choice in generating inequalities
in educational attainment. It
combines in-depth studies by
country specialists with chapters
discussing more general empirical,
methodological, and theoretical
aspects of educational inequality.
Te aim is to investigate to what
extent inequalities in educational
attainment can be attributed to
diferences in academic perfor-
mance between socio-economic
groups, and to what extent they
can be attributed to diferences
in the choices made by students
from these groups. Te con-
tributors focus predominantly on
inequalities related to parental
class and parental education.
Following in the tradition of semi-
nal works on comparative studies
of education, Determined to Suc-
ceed? ofers an excellent assess-
ment of social origin and educa-
tional attainment. Important and
innovative, the volume is sure to
fnd wide infuence and readership
in the sociology of education.

Te New Gilded Age
Te Critical Inequality
Debates of Our Time
Edited by David B. Grusky
and Tamar Kricheli-Katz
Income inequality is an increas-
ingly pressing issue in the United
States and around the world. Tis
book explores fve critical issues to
introduce some of the key moral and
empirical questions about income,
gender, and racial inequality:
Do we have a moral obligation to
eliminate poverty?
Is inequality a necessary evil thats the
best way available to motivate economic
action and increase total output?
Can we retain a meaningful democracy
even when extreme inequality allows
the rich to purchase political privilege?
Is the recent stalling out of long-term de-
clines in gender inequality a historic re-
versal that presages a new gender order?
How are racial and ethnic
inequalities likely to evolve as minor-
ity populations grow ever larger, as
intermarriage increases, and as new
forms of immigration unfold?
Leading public intellectuals debate
these questions in a no-holds-barred
exploration of our New Gilded Age.
The New Gilded Age is an essential vol-
ume for scholars and citizens worried
about the direction we are headed and
the cost we will pay for inaction on the
inequality front.

8 Race, Class, and Gender
On Making Sense
Queer Race Narratives of
Intelligibility
Ernesto Javier Martnez
On Making Sense juxtaposes texts
produced by black, Latino, and
Asian queer writers and artists
to understand how knowledge is
acquired and produced in contexts
of racial and gender oppression.
From James Baldwins 1960s novel
Another Country to Margaret Chos
turn-of-the-century stand-up
comedy, these works all exhibit a
preoccupation with intelligibility,
or the labor of making sense of
oneself and of making sense to
others. In their eforts to make
sense, these writers and artists ar-
gue against merely being accepted
by society on societys terms, but
articulate a desire to confront
epistemic injusticean injustice
that afects people in their capacity
as knowers and as communi-
ties worthy of being known.
On Making Sense represents noth-
ing less than a much needed
generational shift in the practice of
Queer Studies itself.

Te Ethnic Project
Transforming Racial Fiction
into Ethnic Factions
Vilna Bashi Treitler
Race is a known fctionthere is
no genetic marker that indicates
someones raceyet the social
stigma of race endures. In the United
States, ethnicity is ofen positioned
as a counterweight to race, and we
celebrate our various hyphenated-
American identities. But Vilna Bashi
Treitler argues that we do so at a
high cost: ethnic thinking simply
perpetuates an underlying racism.
Tracing the histories of immigrant
and indigenous groupsIrish,
Chinese, Italians, Jews, Native Amer-
icans, Mexicans, Afro-Caribbeans,
and African AmericansTe Ethnic
Project shows how each negotiates
Americas racial hierarchy, aiming
to distance themselves from the
bottom and align with the groups
already at the top. But in pursuing
these ethnic projects these groups
implicitly accept and perpetuate a
racial hierarchy, shoring up rather
than dismantling race and racism.
With her ingenious concept of ethnic
projects, Bashi Treitler brings a new
optic to the study of race. She reveals
why some ethnic projects are success-
ful, others less so, and thus her book
provides an authoritative answer to
those who ask the tired question, We
made it, why havent they?

9 Theory
Te Eclipse of Equality
Arguing America on
Meet the Press
Solon Simmons
Solon Simmons charts the course
of American politics through the
episodes of Meet the Press. On
the air since 1945, Meet the Press
provides an unparalleled record
of living conversation about the
most pressing issues of the day. In
weekly discussions, the people who
directly infuenced policy and held
the reins of power in Washington set
the political agenda for the country.
Listening to what these people had to
sayand importantly how they said
itMeet the Press opens a window
on how our political parties have
become so divided and how notions
of equality were lost in the process.
Ultimately, Simmons looks to bring
back to the debate the question
lurking in the shadowshow can we
ensure the protection of a peaceful
civil society and equality for all?
Simmons brilliantly distills 70 years of
conversations on Meet the Press into an
engaging account of Americas post-
war political trajectory. With conserva-
tives championing individual freedom
and liberals promoting group rights,
economic equality has largely disap-
peared from our national conversa-
tion. The Eclipse of Equality breaks new
ground by uncovering the rhetorical
roots of our present political malaise.

Making Tea, Making Japan
Cultural Nationalism in
Practice
Kristin Surak
Although few non-Japanese scholars
have peered behind the walls of a tea
room, sociologist Kristin Surak came
to know the inner workings of the tea
world over the course of ten years of
tea training. Here she ofers the frst
comprehensive analysis of the prac-
tice that includes new material on its
historical changes, a detailed excava-
tion of its institutional organization,
and a careful examination of what
she terms nation-workthe labor
that connects the national meanings
of a cultural practice and the actual
experience and enactment of it. She
concludes by placing tea ceremony
in comparative perspective, drawing
on other expressions of nation-work,
such as gymnastics and music, in
Europe and Asia. In this rare journey
into the elusive world of tea ceremony,
Surak ofers an insightful account of
the fundamental processes of moder-
nitythe work of making nations.
A regrettable schizophrenia characteriz-
es the study of nationalism, with macro
and micro analysts rarely engaging rival
views. Hence, Kristin Suraks book is a
theoretical breakthrough, showing the
changing functions and social bearers
of a single ritual over a long and trou-
bled historical record. Elegantly written
and extraordinarily argued.

University Expansion in a

Triumph of the BRICs?
Martin Carnoy, et al.
Tis is a study of higher education in
the worlds four largest developing
economiesBrazil, Russia, India, and
China. Already important players
globally, by mid-century, they are
likely to be economic powerhouses.
But whether they reach that level
of development will depend in part
on how successfully they create
quality higher education that puts
their labor forces at the cutting
edge of the information society.
Using an empirical, comparative
approach, this book develops a broad
picture of the higher education system
in each country in the context of both
global and local forces. Te authors
ofer insights into how difering
socioeconomic and historic patterns of
change and political contexts infuence
developments in higher education.
Tis work situates a discussion of
university expansion and quality in the
context of governments educational
policies and refects on the larger
struggles over social goals and the

This is an essential book for understand-
ing how the university systemthe

Te Handbook of Rational
Choice Social Research
Edited by Rafael Wittek,
Tom A.B. Snijders, and Victor Nee
The Handbook of Rational Choice
Social Research ofers the frst
comprehensive overview of how
the rational choice paradigm can
inform empirical research within
the social sciences. Tis landmark
collection highlights successful
empirical applications across a
broad array of disciplines, includ-
ing sociology, political science,
economics, history, and psychology.
Taking on issues ranging from
fnancial markets and terrorism to
immigration, race relations, and
emotions, and a huge variety of other
phenomena, rational choice proves
a useful tool for theory-driven social
research. Each chapter uses a rational
choice framework to elaborate on
testable hypotheses and then apply
this to empirical research, including
experimental research, survey stud-
ies, ethnographies, and historical
investigations. Useful to students and
scholars across the social sciences,
this handbook will reinvigorate dis-
cussions about the utility and versatil-
ity of the rational choice approach,
its key assumptions, and tools.
This volume provides a deep and
wide-ranging review of the strengths,
weaknesses and accomplishments of
modern rational choice theory.

Immigration and Transnational Perspectives
Te Latino Treat
Constructing Immigrants,
Citizens, and the Nation,
Second Edition
Leo R. Chavez
News media and pundits too
frequently perpetuate the notion that
Latinos, particularly Mexicans, are an
invading force bent on reconquering
land once their own and destroying
the American way of life. In this
book, Leo R. Chavez contests this
assumptions basic tenets, ofering
facts to counter the many fctions
about the Latino threat. With new
discussion about anchor babies,
the DREAM Act, and recent anti-
immigrant legislation in Arizona and
other states, this expanded second
edition critically investigates the
stories about recent immigrants to
show how prejudices are used to
malign an entire populationand to
defne what it means to be American.
Praise for the First Edition
In this tour de force volume, Chavez
ofers a penetrating analysis of how
Latinos have been socially constructed
as a threat to the American nation by
bigoted political actors for their own
cynical purposes and draws expertly
on logic, facts, and reason to expose
the mythical threat for the intellectual
fraud and moral travesty that it truly is.

Te DREAMers
How the Undocumented
Youth Movement Transformed
the Immigrant Rights Debate
Walter J. Nicholls
Te DREAMers provides the frst
investigation of the youth movement
that has transformed the national
immigration debate, from its start in
the early 2000s through the present
day. Walter Nicholls draws on inter-
views, news stories, and frsthand
encounters with activists to highlight
the strategies and claims that have
created this now-powerful voice
in American politics. Facing high
levels of anti-immigrant sentiment
across the country, undocumented
youths sought to increase support
for their cause and change the
terms of debate by arguing for their
unique positionas culturally inte-
grated, long term residents and most
importantly as American youth
sharing in core American values.
Walter Nicholls tells the story of the
courageous youth who came out of
the shadows to form an unprecedent-
ed social movement to challenge stig-
matization and advocate a path to citi-
zenship. The DREAMers is a must read
for anyone interested in how these
new Americans fought for justice and
their chance at the American Dream.

Governing Immigration
Trough Crime
A Reader
Edited by Julie A. Dowling and
Jonathan Xavier Inda
Presenting key readings and
cutting-edge scholarship, this volume
examines a range of contemporary
criminalizing practices: restrictive
immigration laws, enhanced border
policing, workplace audits, detention
and deportation, and increased polic-
ing of immigration at the state and
local level. Of equal importance, the
readings highlight how migrants have
managed to actively resist these puni-
tive practices. In bringing together
critical theorists of immigration to
understand how the current political
landscape propagates the view of the
illegal alien as a threat to social order,
this text encourages students and
general readers alike to think serious-
ly about the place of undocumented
immigrants in American society.
Contrasting the chilling details of
post-9/11 enhanced enforcement
and inspiring eforts and citizenship
practices of immigrants, this volume
critiques the ongoing criminalization
of immigration. It is required reading
for all of us concerned with enforce-
ment regimes that increasingly go far
beyond their borders.

12 Immigration and Transnational Perspectives
Te Scramble for Citizens
Dual Nationality and State
Competition for Immigrants
David Cook-Martn
In Te Scramble for Citizens, David
Cook-Martn analyzes immigration
and nationality laws in Argentina,
Italy, and Spain since the mid 19th
century to reveal the contextual dy-
namics that have shaped the quality
of legal and afective bonds between
nation-states and citizens. He shows
how the recent erosion of rights and
privileges in Argentina has motivated
individuals to seek nationality in
ancestral homelands, thinking two
nationalities would be more valuable
than one. Tis book details the legal
and administrative mechanisms
at work, describes the patterns of
law and practice, and explores the
implications for how we understand
the very meaning of citizenship.
David Cook-Martns The Scramble for
Citizens has three remarkable qualities:
its an innovative look at citizenship
laws as shaped by interstate competi-
tion, the best available account of
southern European citizenship, and
a stimulating diagnosis of certain re-
ethnicizing and lightening trends of
contemporary citizenship. Excellent!

Moving Matters
Paths of Serial Migration
Susan Ossman
Moving Matters is a richly nuanced
portrait of the serial migrant: a
person who has lived in several
countries, calling each one at some
point home. Te stories told here
are both extraordinary and increas-
ingly common. Serial migrants rarely
travel freelythey must negotiate a
world of territorial borders and legal
restrictionsyet as they move from
one country to another, they can
use border-crossings as moments of
self-clarifcation. Tey ofen become
masters of settlement as they turn
each country into a life chapter.
Susan Ossman follows this diverse
and growing population not only
to understand how paths of serial
movement produce certain ways of
life, but also to illuminate an ongoing
tension between global fuidity and
the power of nation-states. Ultimately,
her lyrical refection on migration
and social diversity ofers an il-
lustration of how taking mobility
as a starting point fundamentally
alters our understanding of sub-
jectivity, politics, and social life.
This deeply personal and subtle work
both critiques and transcends the key
concepts of writing about identity in
recent decades.

Life Behind the Lobby
Indian American Motel
Owners and the American
Dream
Pawan Dhingra
Indian Americans own about half
of all the motels in the United States.
Even more remarkable, most of these
motel owners come from the same
region in India. Tey arrived in the
United States with few resources, but,
broadly speaking, they are now self-
employed, self-sufcient immigrants
who have become successfulthey
live the American dream. However,
framing this group as embodying
the American dream has profound
implications and downplays the
inequalities of race, gender, culture,
and globalization immigrants
continue to face. Despite their domi-
nance in the motel industry, Indian
American moteliers are concentrated
in lower- and mid-budget markets.
Life Behind the Lobby explains
Indian Americans simultaneous
accomplishments and marginaliza-
tion and takes a close look at their
own role in sustaining that duality.
Pawan Dhingra has written a pioneer-
ing book on the world of American
motels and hotels. This is a peoples
sociology of hotel work.

Illicit Flirtations
Labor, Migration, and Sex
Trafcking in Tokyo
Rhacel Salazar Parreas
In 2004, the U.S. State Department
declared Filipina hostesses in Japan
the largest sex trafcked persons in
the world. Since then, the number
of hostesses entering Japan has
dropped nearly 90 percent; but
Rhacel Parreas argues that this
drastic declinewhich stripped
thousands of migrants of their
livelihoodsis in truth a setback.
Working alongside migrant Filipina
hostesses in Japan, Parreas inves-
tigates the impact of being labeled
as trafcked victims and explores
what governments should do to
improve the lives of global migrants.
With insight, brio, and compelling
empirical evidence, Rhacel Parreas
ofers a novel interpretation of Filipino
hostesses working in Japan. Boldly
departing from standard accounts
that treat all migrant hostesses as
equal victims of sexual trafcking, Illicit
Flirtations presents a nuanced por-
trayal of the womens multiple labor
and sentimental experiences. Scholars
and policy-makers should take note.

Te Migration Apparatus
Security, Labor, and Policy-
making in the European
Union
Gregory Feldman
Te Migration Apparatus examines
the daily practices of migration
policy ofcials as they attempt to
harmonize legal channels for labor
migrants while simultaneously
cracking down on illegal migration.
Working in the crosshairs of debates
surrounding national security and
labor, ofcials have limited individual
infuence, few ties to each other, and
no serious contact with the people
whose movements they regulate.
As Feldman reveals, this complex
construction creates a world of
indirect human relations that enables
the violence of social indiference
as much as the targeted brutality
of collective hatred. Employing an
innovative nonlocal ethnographic
methodology, Feldman illuminates
the danger of allowing indiference to
govern how we regulate population
and peoples livesin the world today.
The Migration Apparatus makes major,
cutting-edge contributions. The spe-
cifc arguments about circular migra-
tion and the general arguments about
how EU policy is made and works are
fresh and exciting. An important book
about an important topic.

Current Flow
Te Electrifcation of Palestine
Ronen Shamir
Current Flow examines the history
of electrifcation of British-ruled
Palestine in the 1920s, as it marked,
afrmed, and produced social,
political, and economic diference
between Arabs and Jews. Consider-
ing the interplay of British colonial
interests, the Jewish-Zionist leanings
of a commissioned electric company,
and Arab opposition within the case
of the Jafa Power House, Ronen
Shamir reveals how electrifcation
was central in assembling a material
infrastructure of ethno-national
separation in Palestine long before
political partition plans had ever
been envisioned. Ultimately, Current
Flow sheds new light on the history
of Jewish-Arab relations and ofers
broader sociological insights into
what happens when people are
transformed from users into ele-
ments of networks.
In this strikingly original book, Ronen
Shamir traces the electrifcation of
1920s Palestine by way of an expand-
ing grid of wires and poles, technicians
and ofcials, texts and images. How
was it that the enterprise designed to
connect Arabs and Jews in a single,
all-Palestine system, ended up energiz-
ing those very ethno-national divides,
anticipating more thoroughgoing
separations to follow?

Back Stories
U.S. News Production and
Palestinian Politics
Amahl A. Bishara
Amahl Bishara demonstrates how
Palestinians play integral roles in
producing U.S. news and how U.S.
journalism in turn shapes Palestin-
ian politics. U.S. objectivity is in
Palestinian journalists hands, and
Palestinian self-determination cannot
be fully understood without attention
to the journalist standing of to
the side, quietly taking notes. Back
Stories examines news stories big and
small to investigate urgent questions
about objectivity, violence, the state,
and the production of knowledge.
Tis book reaches beyond the
headlines into the lives of Palestin-
ians during the second intifada to
give readers a new vantage point on
both Palestinians and journalism.
Amahl Bishara breaks new ground in
her exploration of Palestinian-Israeli-
American dynamics of control, protest,
and resistance. Her keen insights into
the second intifada help us better
understand two critical issues: what is
happening on the ground in Palestine
and how these events are being re-
ported by the American media.

Social Movements,
Mobilization, and
Contestation in the Middle
East and North Africa
Second Edition
Edited by Joel Beinin and
Frdric Vairel
Before the 2011 uprisings, the Middle
East and North Africa were frequently
seen as a uniquely undemocratic region
with little civic activism. Te frst edition
of this volume, published at the start
of the Arab Spring, challenged these
views by revealing a region rich with
social and political mobilizations. Tis
fully revised second edition extends the
earlier explorations of Egypt, Morocco,
Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey, and
adds new case studies on the uprisings
in Tunisia, Syria, and Yemen. Inspired
by social movement theory, the strong
empirical base of these cases studies
allows for a nuanced understanding
of contexts, culturally conditioned
rationality, the strengths and weaknesses
of local networks, and innovation in
contentious action to give the reader a
substantive understanding of events in
the Arab world before and since 2011.
Protest in the Middle East and North Africa
is not just a monopoly of Islamists. This
volume juxtaposes Islamist activism with
movements by workers, intellectuals, fem-
inists, human rights activists, and others
that dont get much attention in the West,
but which present a fuller picture of politi-
cal and social upheavals in the region.

Life as Politics
How Ordinary People
Change the Middle East,
Second Edition
Asef Bayat
Prior to 2011, popular imagination
perceived the Muslim Middle East
as unchanging and unchangeable,
frozen in its own traditions and
history. In Life as Politics, Asef
Bayat argues that such presumptions
fail to recognize the routine, yet
important, ways in which ordinary
people make meaningful change
through everyday actions. First
published just months before the
Arab Spring swept across the region,
this timely and prophetic book sheds
light on the ongoing acts of protest,
practice, and direct daily action.
Te second edition includes three
new chapters on the Arab Spring
and Irans Green Movement and is
fully updated to refect recent events.
At heart, the book remains a study
of agency in times of constraint. In
addition to ongoing protests, mil-
lions of people across the Middle
East are efecting transformation
through the discovery and creation
of new social spaces within which to
make their claims heard. Tis eye-
opening book makes an important
contribution to global debates over
the meaning of social movements
and the dynamics of social change.

nated Latin American political and
social life. Neoliberalism, Interrupted
examines the recent and diverse prolif-
eration of responses to neoliberalisms
hegemony. In so doing, this vanguard
collection of case studies undermines
the conventional dichotomies used
to understand transformation in
this region, such as neoliberalism vs.
socialism, right vs. lef, indigenous vs.
mestizo, and national vs. transnational.
Deploying both ethnographic research
and more synthetic refections
on meaning, consequence, and
possibility, the essays focus on the
ways in which a range of unresolved
contradictions interconnect various
projects for change and resistance
to change in Latin America.
This collection ofers us a vivid pan-
orama of neoliberalism and its interrup-
tion, keeping in mind broader patterns
of political economic transformation
and civil society struggle. The chapters
forcefully demonstrate neoliberalisms
investment in violence and regulation,
while opening our eyes to civil societys
spaces to challenge them.

17 Globalization, Economy, and Work
Conservatives Versus
Wildcats
A Sociology of Financial
Confict
Simone Polillo
For decades, the banking industry
seemed to be a Swiss watch, quietly
ticking along. But the recent fnancial
crisis hints at the true nature of this
sector. As Simone Polillo reveals
in Conservatives Versus Wildcats,
confict is a driving force.
Using examples from the economic
and social histories of 19th-century
America and Italy, two decentralized
polities where challenges to sound
banking originated from above
and below, this book reveals the
collective tactics that conservative
bankers devise to legitimize strict
boundaries around creditand
the transgressive strategies that
wildcat bankers employ in their
challenge to this restrictive stance.
This handsome study confrms the im-
pression that Polillo is one of the most
creative and interesting economic so-
ciologists of a new and coming gener-
ation. The books thesisthat fnance
means conficts of various typesand
the way this argument is presented
are both exciting and innovative.

From Social Movement to
Moral Market
How the Circuit Riders
Sparked an IT Revolution and
Created a Technology Market
Paul-Brian McInerney
In From Social Movement to
Moral Market, Paul-Brian McInerney
explores what happens when a
movement of activists gives way to a
market for entrepreneurs. Tis book
explains the transition by tracing
the brief and colorful history of the
Circuit Riders, a group of activists
who sought to lead nonprofts across
the digital divide. In a single decade,
this movement spawned a market
for technology assistance providers,
dedicated to serving nonproft orga-
nizations. In contrast to the Circuit
Riders grassroots approach, which
was rooted in their commitment to
a cause, these consultancies sprung
up as social enterprises, blending
the values of the nonproft sector
with the economic principles of
for-proft businesses. Trough a
historical-institutional analysis, this
narrative shows how the values of
a movement remain intact even as
entrepreneurs displace activists.
This is an exceptionally engaging ac-
count of how the visible hands of ac-
tivists power the creation of markets.

Anonymous Agencies,
Backstreet Businesses,
and Covert Collectives
Rethinking Organizations
in the 21st Century
Craig R. Scott
Tis book ofers a framework for
thinking about how organizations
and their members communicate
identity to relevant audiences.
Considering the degree to which
organizations reveal themselves, the
extent to which members express
their identifcation with the organiza-
tion, and whether the audience is
public or local, author Craig R. Scott
describes collectives as residing in
regions that range from transpar-
ent to shaded, from shadowed to
dark. Taking a closer look at groups
like Earth First!, the Church of
Scientology, Alcoholics Anonymous,
the KKK, Skull and Bones, U.S.
special missions units, Anonymous,
mens bathhouses, various terrorist
organizations, and even certain small
businesses, this book draws attention
to shaded, shadowed, and dark
collectives as important organiza-
tions in the contemporary landscape.
Scotts analysis of organizational visibil-
ity, secrecy, and identity extends the
horizons of our understanding about
the types and behaviors of organiza-
tions in todays world. To play on the
central theme of the work, I fnd the
book illuminating.

Te Street Politics of
Abortion
Speech, Violence, and
Americas Culture Wars
Joshua C. Wilson
Te U.S. Supreme Court decision
in Roe v. Wade stands as a historic
victory for abortion-rights activists.
But rather than serving as the coda to
a comparatively low-profle movement,
the decision mobilized a wave of
anti-abortion activism and ignited a
heated struggle that continues to this
day. Te Street Politics of Abortion is
the frst book to consider the rise and
fall of clinic-front protests through the
1980s and 1990s, the most visible and
contentious period in U.S. reproduc-
tive politics. Joshua Wilson considers
how street level protests led to three
seminal Court decisions. Te eventual
demise of street protests via these
cases taught anti-abortion activists
the value of incremental institutional
strategies that could produce concrete
policy gains without drawing the
publics attention. Activists on both
sides ultimately movedofen liter-
allyfrom the streets to fght in state
legislative halls and courtrooms.
On about as hot a subject as a scholar
can take on, Joshua Wilson has sen-
sitively and exhaustively shown how
activists stories about the law shape the
everyday politics of abortion. Blending
political science and sociology, this is
modern legal scholarship at its very best.

Zooland
Te Institution of Captivity
Irus Braverman
Zoos have their ardent supporters
and their vocal detractors. And while
we all have opinions onwhatzoos
do, few people considerhowthey do
it.Irus Braverman draws on more
than seventy interviews conducted
with zoo managers and administra-
tors, as well as animal activists, to
ofer a glimpse into the otherwise
unknown complexities of zooland.
Drawing on studies of the panopticon
and pastoral care and the methods
of science and technology studies,
this books illuminates the project of
governing zoo animals. And in so
doing, it makes surprising intercon-
nections between our understandings
of the human and the non-human.
Beautifully written, fnely researched,
astutely argued,Zoolandofers a
wealth of stories, data, and views to
understand the potent work of zoos
and their life-propagating messiness,
astonishing technologies, and detailed
ordering of their captive subjects
deemed wild.
Donna Haraway, University of California at
Santa Cruz, author of When Species Meet
Braverman has written a great book
about zoos, maybe the best ever.

19 Law and Society Law and Society
Of Medicines and Markets
Intellectual Property and
Human Rights in the Free
Trade Era
Angelina Snodgrass Godoy
Looking at events in Costa Rica, El
Salvador, and Guatemala, Angelina
Godoy argues that human rights
advocates need to approach intel-
lectual property law as more than
simply a roster of regulations. IP
represents the cutting edge of a
global tendency to value all things
in market terms: Life formsfrom
plants to human genetic sequences
are rendered commodities, and
substances necessary to sustain
lifemedicinesare restricted to
insure corporate profts. If we argue
only over the terms of IP protection
without confronting the underlying
logic governing our trade agree-
ments, then human rights advocate
will lose even when they win.
Godoy admirably dissects the forces
which have conspired to depoliticize
both resistance to intellectual prop-
erty expansion and the human rights
rhetoric in which this is voiced. The
book delivers insights that should
transform advocacy scholarship; it
should be widely read and acclaimed.

ing study of Marcel Mauss, her rich

mies of the gift.

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