Indigenous Peoples
Indigenous peoples” is a modern concept used mainly by scholars and international organizations to describe culturally diverse groups with varied histories currently living in many states and regions around the world. Most contemporary Indigenous peoples share a history of colonization in which their territory was appropriated and their language and culture subordinated. Indigenous groups typically live in, or maintain attachments to, geographica…

Globalization, Progress, and Race in Military Reformers’ World Observations after 1865
This article analyzes the military reform movement that emerged from the U.S. officer corps after the American Civil War. 1 Placing this movement in its global context allows me not only to elaborate on under-researched aspects but also to address this special issue's challenge to established dichotomies and the question about the relationship between reform and (racialized) othering. In the first section, I characterize the reformers' milieu as …
Unmasking the Racial and Gender Politics of the U.S. Pandemic

Sociology of American Indians
The sociology of American Indians draws on interdisciplinary research from history, law, and the social sciences to understand the internal organization of Native American communities, the place of Native individuals and communities in the United States, and points of comparison between Native Americans and Indigenous peoples around the world. The fields of American Indian and Indigenous studies are expanding areas of scholarship. Several decades…
Intersecting identities and global climate change
This article explores the place of race, class, gender, sexual and national identities and cultures in global climate change. Research on gendered vulnerabilities to disasters suggests that women are more vulnerable than men to many meteorological disasters related to climate change, specifically flooding and drought. This is because of their relative poverty, economic activities (especially subsistence agriculture) and the moral economies govern…

Indigenous Peoples
Throughout most of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, scholars and policymakers predicted the disappearance of Native Americans and indigenous peoples in general (see Dippie 1982 for many examples). Global patterns of urbanization, industrialization, and resource extraction indeed have led to a reduction in the number of indigenous people living traditional lifestyles on ancestral lands. However, those who predicted the demise of indigenousn…

Ethnic re-identification
This paper compares recent resurgences of racial/ethnic identity among Lithuanian Americans and Native Americans in the United States, and examines the phenomenon of 'ethnic re-identification', defined as the adoption of an ethnic identity after a period of non-identification. This comparison of two very different groups - one a racial category comprised of a variety of diverse indigenous groups, the other a white ethnic ancestry category with so…

Racial, Ethnic, and National Boundaries
Sex and race are strained, if not strange, bedfellows. Sexual depictions and denigrations of racial, ethnic, and national 'others' and the regulation of in-group sexual behavior are important mechanisms by which ethnic boundaries are constructed, maintained, and defended. Race, ethnicity, and the nation are sexualized, and sexuality is racialized, ethnicized, and nationalized. The sexual systems that prop up ethnic boundaries and define ethnic id…
Ethnicity and Sexuality
This paper explores the connections between ethnicity and sexuality. Racial, ethnic, and national boundaries are also sexual boundaries. The borderlands dividing racial, ethnic, and national identities and communities constitute ethnosexual frontiers, erotic intersections that are heavily patrolled, policed, and protected, yet regularly are penetrated by individuals forging sexual links with ethnic 'others.' Normative heterosexuality is a central…
Sexualizing the Socialogical
This presidential address explores the sexual substructure of everyday life.1 I focus on the intimate connections among sexuality, race, and ethnicity. Masculinist heterosexuality is a central component of the bedrock upon which ethinic boundaries rest; and feminism, unruly female sexuality, and homosexuality are three cracks in that foundation. To illustrate the usefulness of understanding the sexualized dimensions of racial and ethnic relations…
American Indian Activism
The American Indian occupation of Alcatraz Island was the catalyst for a more generalized movement in which Native Americans from across the country have sought redress of grievances, attempting to right the many wrongs committed against them. In this volume, some of the dominant scholars in the field chronicle and analyze Native American activism of the 1960s and 1970s. Much of what is included here began as a special issue of the American India…

Constructing Ethnicity
Identity and culture are two of the basic building blocks of ethnicity. Through the construction of identity and culture, individuals and groups attempt to address the problematics of ethnic boundaries and meaning. Ethnicity is best understood as a dynamic, constantly evolving property of both individual identity and group organization. The construction of ethnic identity and culture is the result of both structure and agency—a dialectic played o…
Masculinity and nationalism
This article explores the intimate historical and modern connection between manhood and nationhood: through the construction of patriotic manhood and exalted motherhood as icons of nationalist ideology; through the designation of gendered 'places' for men and women in national politics; through the domination of masculine interests and ideology in nationalist movements; through the interplay between masculine microcultures and nationalist ideolog…
American Indian Ethnic Renewal
This chapter examines recent demographic trends in the American Indian population to understand the conditions and factors that lead individuals to change their racial identity. It argues that the increase in American Indian ethnic identification reflected in the US Census is an instance of "ethnic renewal". Ethnic renewal refers to both individual and collective processes. Changes in American political culture brought about by the ethnic politic…

Public Education as Nation-Building in America
Current discussions of the effects of urbanization and industrialization on the bureaucratization of American public education in the later 19th century do not offer effective explanations of the expansion of the educational system in the first place. Enrollments were high much earlier than these explanations suggest and were probably higher in rural than in urban settings. We argue that the spread of public education, especially in the North and…

In this article, we argue that there is an important, but as yet unidentified, process involved in the maintenance and reconstruction of ethnic identity. We call this process 'ethnic reorganization'. We argue that this process is useful for understanding the ethnic survival of indigenous peoples in colonized societies, as well as for illuminating the processes of ethnic renascence among both indigenous and immigrant groups. We find it especially …

Ethnic Nationalism
The twentieth century has taught us to respect the power and durability of ethnic differences, that is, divisions among populations according to language, religion, culture, national origin, even appearance. Researchers have catalogued an enormous amount of ethnic conflict among the world’s nearly 200 states to such an extent that ethnic antagonism, ethnic violence, and ethnic mobilization may comprise the one common ground shared by the world’s …

During each phase of the genocide of American Indians, the media has playe…

Constructing Ethnicity
Contrary to expectations implicit in the image of the “melting pot” that ethnic distinctions could be eliminated in US society, the resurgence of ethnic nationalism in the United States and around the world has prompted social scientists to rethink models of ethnicity rooted in assumptions about the inevitability of assimilation.1 Instead, the resiliency of cultural, linguistic, and religious differences among populations has led to a search for …
Remembering Alcatraz
In the early morning hours of 20 November 1969, eighty-nine American Indians landed on Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay. Identifying themselves as “Indians of All Tribes,” the group claimed the island by “right of discovery” and by the terms of the 1868 Treaty of Fort Laramie which gave Indians the right to unused federal property that had been Indian land previously. Except for a small caretaking staff, Alcatraz Island had been abandoned by …
