Riding The Crest of a Protest Wave? Collective Action Frames in The Gay Liberation Movement, 1969-1973
The major collective action frames of the U.S. gay liberation movement between 1969 and 1973 are described and their development traced. The origins of these frames lie in either the sixties protest wave or in the older homophile movement. These frames—gay is good, sexual liberation, heterosexism, oppression is everywhere—emerged dialectically and creatively from these two protest streams. Their emergence illustrates the utility of a focus on bot…
Gay Macho
Before gay liberation, gay men were usually perceived as failed men--inverts, men trapped in women's bodies. The 1970s saw a radical shift in gay male culture, as a male homosexuality emerged that embraced a more traditional masculine ethos. The gay clone, a muscle-bound, sexually free, hard-living Marlboro man, appeared in the gay enclaves of major cities, changing forever the face of gay male culture. Gay Macho presents the ethnography of this …
The Class-Inflected Nature of Gay Identity
This article explores the creation of a lesbian and gay collective identity in twentieth century United States. Building on theoretical work on the social construction of collective identity, and historical work on the development of lesbian and gay communities and collective action, I argue that the development of gay identity is a class-inflected process. The idea of ‘the homosexual,’ as defined by same-sex desire and essentialist notions of se…
Poverty and Power
[Poverty and Power] provides an unusual study of the politics of the poor during the 1980s...An account we need.--Frances Fox Piven, coauthor with Richard A. Cloward of Regulating the Poor: The Functions of Public Welfare and Poor People's Movements: Why They Succeed, How They Fail. An altogether exemplary work that adds much to our understanding of the links between institutional and non-institutional politics.--Doug McAdam, author of Freedom Su…
The Emergence of the Integrationist Ideology in the Civil Rights Movement
In an attempt to integrate the importance of culture into the resource mobilization perspective, sociologists have introduced the notion of frames as a way to understand how movement leaders and movement participants identify grievances, devise strategies, and enumerate demands. In the civil rights movement, for example, sociologists have argued that the “rights” frame emerged because it resonated with some dominant values of our political cultur…
The Racial Basis of Capitalism and the State, and the Impact of the New Deal on African Americans
This paper describes the ways in which African Americans were written out of or subordinated within the social policies of the New Deal period. To explain this feature of the New Deal, I argue that the existing social science perspectives on social policy need to be built on a greater appreciation of the role of racial subjugation in the construction of class interests, party processes, and the state. The recovery of this racial basis helps us un…

The Origins of the Swedish Welfare State
This paper uses the Swedish welfare system as a case study to investigate the nature of policymaking in capitalist societies and the relationship between economic and political power in the policy-making process. Although previous explanations accurately point to the role of “open” state structures, agrarian politics, and the rise of the Social Democratic party in the making of the Swedish welfare system, none of these explanations grounds its an…
The Unemployed Workers Movement of the 1930s
This paper examines the rise and decline of the unemployed workers movement in the United States in the 1930s. The analysis highlights the articulation of the movement's organizational form and the larger political environment to explain these changes. The movement's inability to change its organizational form in the face of early New Deal reforms led to the precipitous decline in protest activity in 1934. Contrary to the Piven and Cloward thesis…
The Capitalist State and the Origins of National Welfare Policy in Nineteenth-Century Germany
Historians and sociologists point to the Bismarckian welfare reforms as the prime example of a strong state acting independently of class interests. Explanations of this sort ignore the class biases and contradictions embedded in the structure and functioning of the nineteenth-century German state. The class compromises between the industrial and agricultural fractions of capital as well as class conflicts between capitalists and workers were ins…
