Moving from the Margins: Life Histories on Transforming the Study of Racism
At a time when movements for racial justice are front and center in U.S. national politics, this book provides essential new understanding to the study of race, its influence on people's lives, and what we can do to address the persistent and foundational American problem of systemic racism. Knowledge about race and racism changes as social and historical conditions evolve, as different generations of scholars experience unique societal condition…
The Racialization of Latino Families
While racial and demographic changes producing a multiracial United States are well-acknowledged in the family field, insufficient attention is given to Latinos as a racialized population. As the Latino population continues to expand, it is essential for family studies to move beyond a Black/White binary. We call for making race and racialization central building blocks in research and analysis of Latino families. This paper provides an overview …
Latino/a Sociology: Toward a New Paradigm
Despite the proliferation of significant scholarship on Latinos/as over the past four decades and the formal establishment of a Latina/o sociology section in the American Sociological Association in 1994, Latino/a sociology has yet to be systematically defined or fully developed. This essay isolates the underlying premises that mark this developing field. Latino/a sociology is grounded in the standpoints of Latinos/as and anchors its analyses in …
Chicanas/Latinas Advance Intersectional Thought and Practice
Despite the considerable body of scholarship and practice on interconnected systems of dominance and its effects on women in different social locations, Chicanas remain 'outside the frame' of mainstream academic feminist dialogues. This article provides an overview of the contributions of Chicana intersectional thought, research, and activism. We highlight four major scholarly areas of contribution: borders, identities, institutional inequalities…

The Benefits of Marriage Reconsidered
This paper suggests that analyses of marriage experience take into account both structures of inequality and context. Although marriage is widely viewed as producing economic well-being and family stability, this analysis of a sample of White rural families finds the likelihood of realizing these benefits to be closely related to social class position. Marriage failed to produce these benefits for many working class and poor families. Although ga…
The Missing Safety Net and Families: A Progressive Critique of the New Welfare Legislation
This is an overview essay on the 1996 welfare legislation and its consequences. The paper is divided into five parts: (1) The basic elements of the legislation; (2) The conservative assumptions undergirding this legislation and the progressive responses to them; (3) The consequences of the legislation for individuals and families; (4) The missing elements in the new welfare legislation; and (5) The progressive solution to welfare
Nurturing Graduate Students: Integrative Scholarship through Textbook Projects
TEXTBOOKS ARE CONTROVERSIAL in sociology. Some professors refuse to use textbooks in their courses, believing that they are too simplistic. Others view textbooks as effective conduits of sociological knowledge. As an example of this latter position, a recent critique of current family textbooks created a furor in sociology and the national media because of their alleged bias (Glenn 1997; Footnotes 1998). Implicit in Glenn's critique was that text…
Feminism and Family Studies for a New Century
Feminism has revolutionized family studies. This article traces the impact of feminism on the family field in the last quarter of the twentieth century, focusing on (1) academic representations of the family before feminism; (2) second-wave feminism's unmasking of the gender-structured family; (3) how feminist pluralism enlarged the family field; (4) current feminist debates on family diversity and change; and (5) connections between feminist sch…

Changing Families
Transforming Sociology through Textbooks: Making the Discipline More Inclusive
We began by discussing structural differences between professors and students. We suggested that these can be neither denied nor ignored, and ought not be magnified; such tactics can jeopardize the pedagogical task. We argued that ethical teaching presumes acknowledging inequality and meritocratic elitism. It entails making and maintaining clear distinctions between roles. In our opinion, ethical teaching begins with honesty and avoids deceptive …
Theorizing Difference from Multiracial Feminism
Women of color have long challenged the hegemony of feminisms constructed primarily around the lives of white middleclass women.Since the late 1960s, U.S. women of color have taken issue with unitary theories of gender.Our critiques grew out of the widespread concern about the exclusion of women of color from feminist scholarship and the misinterpretation of our experiences,1 and ultimately "out of the very discourses, denying, permitting, and pr…

The Sexist Naming of Collegiate Athletic Teams and Resistance to Change
Colleges and universities use nicknames, logos, and mascots as identifying and unifying symbols, especially surrounding their athletic teams. More than half of U. S. colleges and universities use sexist names and mascots for their women's athletic teams. We argue that these naming practices define, deprecate, and excude women. We show how these linguistic marking systems adopted by schools promote male supremacy and female subordination. They do …
Guest Editors' Introduction
Family, Feminism, and Race in America
Feminist scholarship has advanced our understanding of the family's relationship to the economy and the state over different historical periods. Theorizing about gender, class, and family life has led us to conclude that global explanations of the family are false. Our knowledge about the meaning of racial stratification for family life, however, still remains fragmented. This article asks, What does including race have to offer the study of the …
The De-Athleticization of Women: The Naming and Gender Marking of Collegiate Sport Teams
American colleges and universities use nicknames, colors, logos, and mascots as identifying and unifying symbols, especially concerning their athletic teams. This paper examines the dark side of these solidarity symbols by reporting the incidence and patterns found in the naming of collegiate men’s and women’s athletic teams. The data from 1,185 four-year schools reveal that more than half of American colleges and universities employ names, masco…

Field Research in Minority Communities: Ethical, Methodological and Political Observations by an Insider
This paper reviews issues in field research in minority communities. The general question, "Where shall minority research come from? " is posed, then considerable attention is focused on the insider-outsider controversy—especially its importance for Chicanos in the social sciences. It is argued that minority researchers have cer-tain empirical and methodological advantages in conducting field research, but also face unique problems in simultaneou…

An important conclusion of this examination is that both theoretical distortions and theoretical advances in the …
