Nondenominational Protestants: Do They More Closely Resemble Mainline, Evangelical, or Black Protestants in RELTRAD
This study aims to determine whether different groups of nondenominational Protestants more closely resemble one of the three most widely recognized denominational families within American Protestantism: Mainline Protestants, Evangelical Protestants, and Black Protestants. Steensland et al.’s and Gaghan and Eagle's RELTRAD coding schemes are modified to include contested categories of nondenoms that are disaggregated by race and church attendance…

The Contemporary Black Church: The New Dynamics of African American Religion
Charts the changing dynamics of religion and spirituality among African Americans Recent decades have ushered in a profound transformation within the American religious landscape, characterized by an explosion of religious diversification and individualism as well as a rising number of “nones.” The Contemporary Black Church makes the case that the story of this changing religious landscape needs to be told incorporating more data as it applies sp…
Blacks and Whites in Christian America: How Racial Discrimination Shapes Religious Convictions
2012 Winner of the C. Calvin Smith Award presented by the Southern Conference on African American Studies, Inc. 2014 Honorable Mention for the Distinguished Book Award presented by the American Sociological Association's Sociology of Religion Section Conventional wisdom holds that Christians, as members of a “universal” religion, all believe more or less the same things when it comes to their faith. Yet black and white Christians differ in signif…
Is RELTRAD Still the Gold Standard
The RELTRAD syntax remains the most influential operational method for assessing religious affiliations among respondents in major surveys. However, RELTRAD suffers from several key limitations. Consequently, a new coding scheme known as 'Religious Identification' has emerged as an alternative. The goal of this article is to determine whether one of these disparate techniques yields more insightful results that further our knowledge of the dynami…
Black Reltrad: Measuring Religious Diversity and Commonality Among African Americans
The Black Church has remained an important topic of scholarly interest for more than a century, but less attention has been devoted to the consequences of contrasting denominational affiliations within the African-American Protestant religious tradition. We advance a new coding scheme that allows researchers to measure and test black affiliates across a range of denominations with roots inside and outside of the greater Black Church. Findings fro…
A Dream Deferred: Privileged Blacks’ and Whites’ Beliefs About Racial Inequality
The goal of this paper is to determine whether a privileged class position operates similarly in shaping Blacks' and Whites' beliefs about the causes of racial inequality. Existing studies have established that socioeconomic variation drives intraracial differences in commitments to individualistic and structural attributions. However, scholars have yet to determine whether Blacks and Whites positioned at some of the highest levels of the America…
Evolving Issues of Integration and Inequality Among Middle Class Minorities
Get Up, Get Out, and Git Sumthin: How Race and Class Influence African Americans’ Attitudes About Inequality
Does class position influence Blacks' beliefs about the causes of poverty and racial inequality? Prior research has established that Blacks are more structural in orientation than Whites. However, existing studies have not adequately assessed the role that class position plays in shaping intraracial attitudinal differences among Blacks. Both multivariate and trend analyses of nearly four decades of data from the Houston Area Survey indicate that …
Race, Ethnicity, and Socioeconomic Inequality Among Minority Middle Classes
Offered is a discussion of major trends in sociological research on stratification among minority middle classes and a review/synopsis of pieces in this volume of The American Behavioral Scientist
E Pluribus Unum ? How Racial, Ethnic, and Religious Group Memberships Impact Beliefs about American National Identity
Existing studies assess attitudes about Americanness within the context of racial and ethnic group differences. However, this paper examines the relative effects of racial, ethnic, and religious group memberships across a variety of national sentiments, including patriotism and ethnoculturalism. Results from the 1996 and 2004 General Social Surveys (N = 1851) indicate that subgroup affiliations strongly influence beliefs about the salience and su…
Extending the Debate over Nationalism Versus Integration: How Cultural Commitments and Assimilation Trajectories Influence Beliefs About Black Power
After the Storm: How Race, Class, and Immigration Concerns Influenced Beliefs About the Katrina Evacuees
Objective. In September 2005, approximately 150,000 Gulf Coast residents fled to Houston, Texas, seeking shelter following Hurricane Katrina. Since the majority of evacuees were poor African Americans, the political and social consequences of the storm inspired a national dialogue on race and class. However, in Houston, the discourse on Katrina evacuees also involved immigration concerns. The city's distinction as a gateway to new arrivals influe…
Race, Class, and the Basis of Group Alignment: An Analysis of Support for Redistributive Policy among Privileged Blacks
Sociological research has not adequately assessed levels of support for redistributive policy among African Americans. This oversight is particularly notable considering the dispersion of blacks across the American class structure. This article seeks to fill this gap in our understanding by addressing two concerns: (a) whether blacks with higher versus lower socioeconomic status espouse disparate policy preferences and (b) whether a privileged cl…
The Investment in Blackness Hypothesis: Toward Greater Understanding of Who Teaches What During Racial Socialization
This article examines the determinants and the substantive content of racial socialization strategies among African Americans. Existing studies have established that most Black parents socialize their children to race. However, studies have yet to determine whether assimilation trajectories and commitments to Black social heritage influence racial socialization outcomes. This article addresses this void within the context of a new, assimilation-b…
Socioeconomic Status and Racial Group Interests Among Black Americans
This study assesses predictions from the dominant ideology thesis and theory of group interest concerning the relationship between socioeconomic status and racial solidarity across three domains of racial ideology. Findings from a local area sample (N = 184) in Cleveland, Ohio, provide considerable support for the theory of group interest. Racial solidarity indicators, such as the perception of discrimination, transcend individual socioeconomic s…
