The Data Are Not Given: Perspectives, Political Trust, and the 2000 Elections
This chapter illustrates the way in which small groups of people interpret politics with socially rooted perspectives through an analysis of interpretations of a major political event, the aftermath of the 2000 presidential election. It analyzes conversations about the outcome among the “Old Timers” in the study and among a group of African Americans who sit on the other side of the store. In particular, It focuses on the implications of their di…
Putting Inequality in Its Place: Rural Consciousness and the Power of Perspective
Why do people vote against their interests? Previous explanations miss something fundamental because they do not consider the work of group consciousness. Based on participant observation of conversations from May 2007 to May 2011 among 37 regularly occurring groups in 27 communities sampled across Wisconsin, this study shows that in some places, people have a class- and place-based identity that is intertwined with a perception of deprivation. T…
Gender, Context, and Television Advertising: A Comprehensive Analysis of 2000 and 2002 House Races
Are men and women portrayed differently in campaigns? Much scholarship and commentary expects that this is so, yet previous studies provide ambiguous evidence on the extent of gender difference.The authors provide a comprehensive analysis of gender differences in television advertisements in congressional races in 2000 and 2002 with data that allow them to take into account the frequency of airings, the sponsorship of the advertisements, partisan…

Communities, Race, and Talk: An Analysis of the Occurrence of Civic Intergroup Dialogue Programs
Why do communities differ in the strategies they adopt to address the challenges of interracial relations? In this article, I ask specifically why cities choose to pursue or forego provision of a particular type of social service, civic intergroup dialogue programs on race. I test arguments that such choices arise in response to post-materialist values, in response to conditions of racial injustice, and in communities with larger stores of existi…
Applying Norton's Challenge to the Study of Political Behavior: Focus on Process, the Particular, and the Ordinary
In 95 Theses Anne Norton picks a fight with conventional political science. She asks conventional political science to use different measures (indeed, conceptualize what we do as something other than "measuring"), use different methods, and ask different questions. Some may read this as a threat to an entire way of life. I read it as an intriguing and exciting challenge.Katherine Cramer Walsh is Assistant Professor of Political Science at Univers…
The Effects of Social Class Identification on Participatory Orientations Towards Government
This article calls into question the common claim that class identity does not matter for American political behaviour. Using panel-study data spanning thirty-two years and two generations, we investigate the effects of social-class identity on five participatory orientations towards government. As expected, working-class identifiers in both generations consistently display lower levels of involvement in politics than do middle-class identifiers.…
