Indigenous Memory, Urban Reality: Stories of American Indian Relocation and Reclamation
Recognizing Race and Ethnicity: Power, Privilege, and Inequality
This best-selling textbook explains the current state of research in the sociology of race/ ethnicity, emphasizing white privilege, the social construction of race, and the newest theoretical perspectives for understanding race and ethnicity. It is designed to engage students with an emphasis on topics that are meaningful to their lives, including sports, popular culture, interracial relationships, and biracial/multiracial identities and families…
Nice White Ladies: The Truth About White Supremacy, Our Role in It, and How We can Help Dismantle It
Creating an Ideal World: A Review of Work, Love, and Learning in Utopia: Equality Reimagined
Thinking Globally, Acting Locally: Locavorism and Humanist Sociology
In this address, I offer an explanation as to why I chose the theme “Locavore Sociology: Challenging Globalization, Embracing the Local” and the host city of Portland, Oregon, for the 2015 Association for Humanist Sociology meetings.

I then explore the origins of locavorism, particularly in terms of its most obvious manifestation in the locavore food movement but also its extensio…
The Future of Social Movement Research: Dynamics, Mechanisms, and Processes
The Continuing Significance of Race: Racial Genomics in a Postracial Era
While most scientists of the twentieth century argued for understanding race as a social construction, this understanding has shifted considerably in the past decade. In the current era, biological notions of race have resurfaced not only in the scientific community but in the form of direct consumer use of DNA tests for genetic ancestry testing, sometimes referred to as genetic genealogy, and the emergence of pharmacogenomics, or the marketing o…
A Sociology of Race/Ethnicity Textbooks: Avoiding White Privilege, Ahistoricism, and Use of the Passive Voice
Despite the centrality of the study of race and ethnic relations within the discipline, few studies have analyzed the relative merits of race/ethnicity textbooks on the market today, nor how well they represent the current state of the research. This article addresses this problem through a content analysis of the five best-selling race/ethnicity textbooks in the field. The findings suggest that these sociology texts generally avoid the issue of …
Radical Social Movement Organizations: A Theoretical Model
In this article we contend that social movement theory has predominantly analyzed social movement organizations (SMOs) from a reform perspective, emphasizing movement participants' demands to be recognized by, and incorporated into, the dominant culture. While for many SMOs this has certainly been the case, we argue that it is an inadequate model for the study of radical social movement organizations (RSMOs). When we look at RSMO participants' se…
