Cape Verdean identity in a land of Black and White
Cape Verde is an island group off the African coast with a history of slavery. Its residents having both European and African ancestors, they consider themselves a mixed-race people. Residents of the United States, however, observe the one-drop rule: anyone with a perceptible trace of African blood is defined as Black. This difference motivates us to ask: how do Cape Verdean Americans answer questions about their racial identity? Strict assimilat…

Crime by Committee
We show how cartels rely on the adaptive social structure of committee meetings to ameliorate the competitive difficulties of markets. We distill the structure of the cartel committee and test hypotheses relating market structure to committee structure and ultimately to the efficacy of cartel price‐fixing. Cartel continuity and the corporate authority of the cartel are strong predictors of cartel effectiveness. Cartel continuity is responsive to …
Unions between blacks and whites
In this article, US and UK census data are used to compare the propensity for matches between blacks and native born whites in England and the US. Blacks are disaggregated into three ethnic groups: Black Caribbeans, Residual Blacks and, in the US, African Americans. The first group receives the most theoretical attention. Both raw percentages and parameters that control for several covariates - such as age, education and city of residence - are e…
Black-White Unions
In this research we use 1990 PUMS data to compare the propensity for unions between African Americans and native whites with the propensity for unions between British West Indians and native whites. In addition, we distinguish women and men. Descriptive statistics indicate that West Indians, with the exception of men who arrived as adults, are more likely than African Americans to have white partners. After the introduction of controls for severa…
The Dissolution of Joint Living Arrangements among Single Parents and Children
Objective . This research examines the claim that states' newfound autonomy to devise their own welfare systems will lead to more intergenerational family dissolution. Critics of welfare reform argue that children residing in states with lower welfare benefits will be more at risk of living apart from parents, as some parents will lack sufficient income to raise children. Methods . Data from the Survey of Income and Program Participation were ana…
Welfare and Family Dissolution Revisited
Children's emotional and behavioral disorders
In the wake of the neurobiological "revolution," do mental health professionals still assign etiological responsibility for emotional and behavioral disorders to deficient or harmful parenting? This study investigated differences in attributions of causality by theoretical orientation, professional discipline, areas of practice, familiarity with parent support groups, and demographic characteristics. Implications for policy, research, and practic…

Black Caribbeans in comparative perspective
This article compares the gap in socioeconomic well‐being between native‐born white persons and Black Caribbean immigrants in four nations: the USA, the UK, Canada and France. Theoretical considerations suggest that the gap will be smallest in France, followed by the USA. The data come from recent censuses and labour market surveys. Four labour market outcomes are considered: labour force participation, unemployment, occupational status and earni…
Hazards of the Market
We propose a theory of the market as an intertemporal process that integrates multiple theoretical perspectives. Using event-history methods, we analyze the dissolution of interorganizational market ties between advertising agencies and their clients as a function of three forces-competition, power, and institutional forces. The informal rules of institutionalized in the emergence phase of the advertising services market include exclusivity (sole…
Careers and Creativity
A look at the production and distribution of art, drawing on fields as disparate as European portraiture and American rock and roll. The development and maintenance of worlds, the escapist element of art and its manipulations, the origins of new styles, are all laid bare in a book that offers a vision of expression and artistic production embedded in a world of complex social networks

The Role of Adult Siblings in Providing Social Support to the Severely Mentally Ill
Allan V. Horwitz, Richard C. Tessler, Gene A. Fisher, Gail M. Gamache, The Role of Adult Siblings in Providing Social Support to the Severely Mentally Ill, Journal of Marriage and Family, Vol. 54, No. 1 (Feb., 1992), pp. 233-241

Durkheim and the Social Construction of Emotions
Although Durkheim has been called the architect of the social constructionist approach to emotions, a careful review of his writings shows that he also accorded biologically constituted emotions a central place in his theory of social solidarity. Human society is created and renewed by the intense arousal that occurs in gatherings and assemblies. Mechanical solidarity is maintained by an instinctive emotional reaction (choler) to the violation of…
The Urban Homeless
Although homelessness has been recognized as a serious and growing urban social problem, scientifically acceptable methods for estimating the composition and size of the homeless population have been lacking. A new research approach to estimating the size and composition of undomiciled urban populations is presented, and its utility is illustrated through a description of the literal homeless of Chicago. The homeless in the Chicago sample are una…

Evidence for extending the circumplex model of personality trait language to self-reported moods
We show that self-ratings by 141 undergraduates on 17 items form a circumplex that closely agrees with Conte and Plutchik's (1981) circumplex of personality traits. The order of items on a circumplex, generated by self-ratings following a here-and-now instruction set, scarcely differs from that of a circumplex representing the same ratings averaged over a 2-week period. The configuration becomes more elliptical as one moves from the state-like me…
