Social Agency and White Supremacy in Immigration Studies

Assimilation scholarship is rooted in the race relations framework that has been critiqued for providing legitimacy to the prevailing racial order, not least because it credits ethno-racial group agency as the mechanism that causes inequities among groups’ socioeconomic outcomes and the degrees to which they are socially accepted. To explain socioeconomic inequities, alternative frames cen…

Rethinking Panethnicity and the Race-immigration Divide: An Ethnoracializatio…

Although demographic shifts continue to spark interest in the racially transformative effects of immigration, researchers routinely lament the lack of dialogue between race and immigration scholarship.

Racism, the Immigration Enforcement Regime, and the Implications for Racial I…

Outward and Upward Mobilities: The Global Dispersion of Students from South K…

Education has long been the route to social mobility and educational qualifications persist as a legitimized marker of social class. In the 1970s and 1980s, South Korea experienced rapid growth in its educational system and economy which resulted in a large middle class. Currently, the middle class is contracting and income inequality is rising. What was achieved in one generation for a large s…

As a prelude…

More than Prejudice: Restatement, Reflections, and New Directions in Critical…

Racism has always been “more than prejudice,” but mainstream social analysts have mostly framed race matters as organized by the logic of prejudice. In this paper, I do four things. First, I restate my criticism of the dominant approach to race matters and emphasize the need to ground our racial analysis materially, that is, understanding that racism is systemic and rooted in differences …

Introduction: The New Chinese Migration to Southeast Asia

Since 1978, when the People’s Republic of China (PRC) re-opened the door to the world from which its people had been hermetically sealed for almost half a century, millions of Chinese have ventured out, in what has been termed the “New Chinese Migration.” This contemporary global Chinese migration differs significantly from the “old.” Whereas the bulk of the “old” migration heade…

Governing Environmentally-Related Migration in Bangladesh: Responsibilities, …

Environmentally-related migration is often cited as one of the human consequences of environmental stress, especially in the context of climate change.

From Whiteness to Colorblindness in Public Policies: Racial Formation and Urb…

In the contemporary era, as U.S. society attempts to move toward racial equality, there is major disagreement among scholars regarding the degree to which public policies contribute to inequality.

Conundrums of Integration: Desegregation in the Context of Racialized Hierarchy

Recent scholarly and public conversations have given renewed attention to integration as a goal, an aspiration, and/or an “imperative.” These calls for integration are infused with the conviction that segregation is a linchpin, if not the linchpin, of persistent racialized hierarchies. While the costs of persistent segregation remain clear, the call for integration as the unequivocal ans…

Chinese Migration to Singapore: Discourses and Discontents in a Globalizing N…

Changing economic realities in the last decade have seen the People’s Republic of China (PRC) emerging as a major source of ‘new’ migrants in the world.

Ambivalent Calculations in Toronto: Negotiating the Meaning of Success among …

A Call for the Racialization of Immigration Studies: On the Transition of Eth…

There is more than a century of research that has examined immigrants in the United States.

This address explores a broad framework for thinking sociologically about emancipatory alternatives to dominant institutions and social structures, especially capitalism. The framework is grounded in two foundational propositions: (1) Many forms of human suffering and many deficits in human flourishing are the result of existing institutions and social structures. (2) Transforming existing inst…

The Rise of Uncivil Agreement: Issue Versus Behavioral Polarization in the Am…

The debate over whether polarization is occurring in the mass public has been limited by a lack of definition and theory. This article contributes to both, arguing that polarization can be characterized as either behavioral polarization or issue position polarization, but that the two are not synonymous. One reason for the difference between the two types of polarization is that the partisan-id…

Polarizing Patriots: Divergent Responses to Patriotic Imagery in News Coverag…

We demonstrate that the use of patriotic imagery in news reporting may increase rather than decrease public polarization regarding foreign policy issues. Specifically, we examine the impact of patriotic imagery in the context of an online news story about terrorism on individuals’ attitudes toward civil liberties in the “war on terror” and spillover effects on support for the war in Afgha…

A Polarized Environment: The Effect of Partisanship and Ideological Values on…

Political polarization is often analyzed at the mass level through examination of attitudinal differences, but little attention is devoted to how polarization might be manifested through differences in individual behavior, especially in areas that do not appear to be explicitly political in nature. Political polarization, however, may extend to differences in lifestyles among individuals, espec…

Are self-narratives strategic or determined, unified or fragmented? Reading B…

Anders Behring Breivik carried out two terrorist attacks in Norway in 2011, killing 77 people. In a 1500-page Manifesto, he justifies the attacks, describes his ideology and presents his life-story. The Manifesto is Breivik’s attempt to present a coherent story, although one that shifts between different, sometimes competing, characters and narrative tones. He relies heavily on the narratives…

Emotion work in animal rights activism: A moralsociological perspective

Social movement activism requires emotional motivation and entails emotional costs, and, because of this, activists tend to be deeply involved in the management of emotions – or emotion work – and not just in connection with protest events, but also on an everyday basis. Based on a case study of animal rights activism in Sweden, this article identifies five types of emotion work that animal…

A Cooling Climate for Change? Party Polarization and the Politics of Global W…

Analysis of three cross-sectional polls administered by the Gallup Organization at 10-year intervals—in 1990, 2000, and 2010—demonstrates that partisan identification has become an increasingly important determinant of environmental concern within the American mass public. Polarization on global warming is especially clear, even when compared to a variety of other social, economic, and pol…
