Racecraft: The Soul of Inequality in American Life
Racecraft: The Soul of Inequality in American Life
Most people assume that racism grows from a perception of human difference: the fact of race gives rise to the practice of racism. Sociologist Karen E. Fields and historian Barbara J. Fields argue otherwise: the practice of racism produces the illusion of race, through what they call "racecraft." And this phenomenon is intimately entwined with other forms of inequality in American life. So pervasive are the devices of racecraft in American histor…

What difference does translation make: Les Formes élémentaires de la vie religieuse in French and English
Is there a man, learned or unlearned, who will not, when he takes the volume into his hands, and perceives that what he reads does not suit his settled tastes, break out immediately into violent language, and call me a forger and a profane person for having the audacity to add anything to the ancient books, or to make any changes or corrections therein? St. Jerome ( ca . 342-420 ad; as quoted in Glassman 1981: 15) Applied to translation, the phra…
The Cambridge Companion to Durkheim
Long recognised as a foundational figure in the development of social scientific thought, Emile Durkheim's work has been the subject of intense debate over the years. This authoritative and comprehensive collection of essays re-examines the impact of Durkheim's thought, considering the historical contexts of his work as well as evaluating his ideas in relation to current issues and controversies. Eminent authorities in the field have contributed …
Individuality and the intellectuals: An imaginary conversation between W. E. B. Du Bois and Emile Durkheim
Beyond Gilroy's Black Atlantic: The Experience of the African Diaspora
It is beyond dispute that Paul Gilroy's The Black Atlantic, published in 1993, marks an important turning point in the study of diasporas. And it is perhaps no exaggeration to say that, more than any other, this book embodies the theoretical positions associated with the rise of "cultural studies" in the 1990s. Gilroy develops Stuart Hall's equally important and similarly innovative conception of diaspora. What these two works have in common is t…
