Small Town in Mass Society: Class, Power, and Religion in a

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Vidich, Arthur J. / Bensman, Joseph, PUBLISHER: University of Illinois Press, First published in , Small Town in Mass Society set community studies on a new course by placing the small town within the framework of large-scale, bureaucratic mass society. Drawing attention to the dynamics of class and ethnicity in relation to economics and politics, this landmark work was among the first to document the consequences of centralized administration on life in American communities. Through a close study of "Springdale, New York", Arthur J. Vidich and Joseph Bensman depict the small town as continuously and increasingly drawn into the central institutions and processes of the total society. Vidich and Bensman based their conclusions on extensive interviews with and close observation of the inhabitants of one community. The original publication of the book caused a sharp response among the town's citizens who felt their trust had been violated and their town misrepresented. The present volume includes the editorials and correspondence evoked by that controversy, the authors' articles describing their methodology, a new foreword by Michael W. Hughey, and a new afterword in which Arthur J. Vidich gives an account of the creation and history of the book.

Ethnic Identity and Power: Cultural Contexts of Political

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Zou, Yali / Trueba, Enrique T., PUBLISHER: State University of New York Press, The relationship between ethnic identity and power has important consequences in a modern world that is changing rapidly through global immigration trends. Studies of ethnic/ racial conflict of ethnic identity and power become necessarily studies of political power, social status, school achievement, and allocation of resources. The recognition of power by an ethnic group, however, creates a competition for control and a rivalry for power over public arenas, such as schools. In this context this book provides interesting and important insights into the dilemmas faced by immigrants and members of ethnic groups, by school personnel, and by policy makers. The first part of the book consists of comparative studies of ethnic identity. The second part focuses directly on some of the lessons learned from social science research on ethnic identification and the critical study of equity, with its implications for pedagogy. An interdisciplinary group of scholars offers profoundly honest and stimulating accounts of their struggles to decipher self-identification processes in various political contexts, as well as their personal reflections on the study of ethnicity. A powerful message emerges that invites reflection about self-identification processes, and that allows a deeper understanding of the empowering consequences of a clear and strong personal, cultural, ethnic, and social identity. These pages offer a keen grasp of the undeniable political contexts of education.

Nature and Nurture During Infancy and Early Childhood

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Plomin, Robert / Defries, J. C. / Fulker, D. W., PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, In light of work by quantitative geneticists, the authors reconsider the interaction of heredity and environment in the development of individual differences during infancy and early childhood. Quantitative genetics offers a general theory of the development of individual differences that suggests novel concepts and research strategies: the idea that genetic influences operate in age-to-age change as well as in continuity, for example. Quantitative genetics also provides powerful methods to address questions of change and continuity which are helpfully introduced in this study. Longitudinal quantitative genetic research is essential to the understanding of developmental change and continuity. The largest and longes longitudinal adoption study is the Colorado Adoption Project, which has generated much of the rich data on the progress from infancy to early childhood on which the authors draw throughout the book.

Work in Retirement: The Persistence of an American

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Givechian, Fatemeh, PUBLISHER: University Press of America, Investigates the notion of 'work' as a cultural category in the U.S. through the study of senior citizens, a stratum of people who have progressed beyond the work stage. Conducted primarily at a senior citizen center with about members over the age of 55, the research is both diachronic and synchronic. The former consists of library research and the study of the senior center archives in its 25-year history. The latter mainly consists of participant observation in all the activities offered by the center, and interviewing the elderly. While existing studies of senior centers portray their function as social and recreational, this study argues that the cultural significance of these centers lies in their function as a substitute for work. The more the activities resemble work, the more they are welcomed by the members. Contents: Preliminary Discussion, an Introduction; Work, the Central Element of American Culture; Ethnographic Data and the Senior Center; ' Work, ' Continuation of Work after Retirement; Beyond the Senior Center; and Symbolic Analysis, a Holistic Perspective
