Le roman sociologique américain
Ce livre porte sur l'émergence et le déclin du roman sociologique américain, spécialement sur le roman comme mode d'accès privilégié à la compréhension de la culture de cette société. D'emblée, une question surgit : quelles sont les différences entre le genre roman social – assez bien connu par ailleurs, Zola en France, Dickens en Angleterre, Steinbeck aux Etats-Unis, etc. – et le roman sociologique que l'auteur distingue du premier genre ? C'est durant une courte période, qui va du début des années 1930 jusqu'à la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, que ce genre s'affirme. Les auteurs ont parfois une formation sommaire en sociologie – d'abord et avant tout la sociologi...
African American Pioneers of Sociology
This stunning new work examines the influence of African-American intellectuals, including NAACP co-founder W.E.B. Du Bois, on the then-emerging field of sociology, and how their radical views on race, gender, religion, and class shaped the discipline.
In the Land of the Free : Le paradoxe racial à travers...
« In the Land on the Free and the Home of the Brave »: la phrase ferme chacun des couplets de l’hymne national américaine The Star-Spangled Banner, composé en 1814 par Francis Scott Key (1779-1843), avocat et poète amateur de race blanche. Cri du coeur patriotique, elle magnifie aussi on ne peut mieux le « rêve américain ». Celui-ci est-il accessible à toutes les personnes qui peuplent le territoire? En principe, oui, depuis les amendements apportés en ce sens à la Constitution de 1787. De facto, la route est infiniment plus facile si l’on a eu l’immense chance d’appartenir par la naissance à la « bonne » race, celle de Francis Scott Key. La divergence entre le princip...
Counterrevolution
In Black Reconstruction W.E.B. Du Bois wrote, "The slave went free; stood for a brief moment in the sun; then moved back again toward slavery." His words echo across the decades as the civil rights revolution, marked by the passage of landmark civil rights laws in the '60s, has seen those gains steadily and systematically whittled away. As history testifies, revolution nearly always triggers its antithesis: counterrevolution. In this book Steinberg provides an analysis of this backlash, tracing the reverse flow of history that has led to the current national reckoning on race. Steinberg puts counterrevolution into historical and theoretical perspective, exploring the "victim-blaming" and "colorblind" discourses that emerged in the post-segregation era and undermined progress toward racial equality, and led to the gutting of affirmative action. This book reflects Steinberg's long career as a critical race scholar, culminating with his assessment of our current moment and the possibilities for political transformation.
The Color of Crime, Third Edition
"A powerful, engaging book that critiques the history of race, law, and justice by examining where race lives and breathes across the U.S. criminal-legal system"--
The Soul's Economy
Tracing a seismic shift in American social thought, Jeffrey Sklansky offers a new synthesis of the intellectual transformation entailed in the rise of industrial capitalism. For a century after Independence, the dominant American understanding of selfhood and society came from the tradition of political economy, which defined freedom and equality in terms of ownership of the means of self-employment. However, the gradual demise of the household economy rendered proprietary independence an increasingly embattled ideal. Large landowners and industrialists claimed the right to rule as a privilege of their growing monopoly over productive resources, while dispossessed farmers and workers charged...
