The Radical Center: Middle Americans and the Politics of Alienation
White Americans as a Minority
There is a specter haunting America: fear of the destruction of the majority culture embodied in the individualism and dominance of the white middle class. Such an apocryphal vision, first framed at the political fringe, has increasingly spread to the mainstream. In the process, conventional “liberal” vs. “conservative” cleavages have given way to “pluralist” versus “melting pot” concepts of American society, with the core majority becoming an em…
The Politics of the Displaced Majority
The cultural majority is declining. Less than one in four US citizens of voting age cast a ballot in the last presidential election. A national Gallup survey in Britain recorded unprecedented “doubt and depression,” with nearly half of those polled saying they wanted to emigrate; it heralded the “plummeting” of public confidence, a warning that the nation is “on the slope of moral and social decline.” One year alter France's narrow approval of th…
Neighborhood Action as a Social Movement: Perspectives on Trends in the United States and West Germany
This article compares the development of the “neighborhood movement” in the United States and the German Bürgerinitiativbewegung from the late 1960s to the present. The interconnections between neighborhood action and bureaucratic reaction are worked out on the background of some dimensions of the political context of both societies and analyzed for two phases. In addition to this, criteria of the social movement theory are applied to neighborhoo…
U.S. National Patterns of Problem Coping Networks: Preliminary Results from 1983 and 1984 Gallup Surveys
Interest in the informal patterns of problem coping has emerged increasingly as societies turn from centralized, formal service delivery strategies toward voluntary sector local community helping resources. The results from the 1983 and 1984 sur veys reflect evidence that individuals shifted somewhat their reliance on public agencies in the direction of using voluntary association peers. Our research reports on a first step in assessing the balan…
The Search for Social Support: A Way Back to the Neighborhood
Helping Networks and Human Services
How can human service agencies make use of the ordinary people -- relatives, friends, neighbours, pastors -- who help each other? Do human service agencies have anything to offer them, considering they do a good job on their own? The authors present a thorough examination of the problems, benefits, history, goals and potentials of such collaboration. 'The breadth of experience of working with informal helpers that is presented in this book and th…
Helping Networks: How People Cope with Problems in the Urban Community
The Oak Park Strategy: Community Control of Racial Change
Explorations in Neighborhood Differentiation
The cyclical interest in local units of the urban community has failed to provide cumulative knowledge about the varieties, functions and ethnic distribution of types of neighborhoods. Research in Detroit, involving 16 black and 12 white neighborhoods, provides sufficient quantitative data to formulate multivariate distinctions of neighborhood type and function. Among the most important findings was the extent to which residents of given types of…
The Functional Diversity of Urban Neighborhoods
This research stresses the multiplicity of ways neighborhoods perform important social functions. The focus on a specific set of neighborhood roles has both heuristic and practical significance. By delineating functions, discussions about the importance of neighborhood can avoid didactic concern with increase or decline in an ideal-typical sense. Instead, the relative presence or absence of given functions can be taken into account as well as the…

Some Observations from Post- Riot Detroit: The Role of the Social Researcher in Contemporay Racial Conflict
Mass Media and Racial Crisis: A Study of the New Bethel Church Incident in Detroit 1
An exchange of gunfire between Detroit police and persons in the proximity of a meeting of black separatists provided an opportunity to evaluate the impact of the mass media in creating, supporting, or reducing racial polarization. Based on responses from 1130 interviews in black and white neighborhoods, perceptions of what occurred outside of the New Bethel Church were linked to reported mass media and primary‐group sources of information. In te…

Variations on the Theme of Primary Groups: Forms of Social Control within School Staffs
Four mechanisms of social control are analyzed in relationship to a typology of school staffs which in several respects resemble primary groups. Mechanisms of selective recruitment and selective expulsion are used extensively by staffs whose members internalize and share values. The mechanism of socialization is important in a school staff with a heterogeneous membership when the members interact informally away from the work setting. Isolation i…

Neighborhood Structure and Riot Behavior in Detroit: Some Exploratory Findings
Participation in the 1967 Detroit riot, counter-riot activity, and withdrawal from riot participation were studied. Data from both pre- and post-riot surveys permitted some comparisons over time. A typology of neighborhoods based on social interaction, reference group orientation, and values provided a framework for analysis. Neighborhoods with high riot activity showed little social interaction but tended to have positive reference orientations.…

Spiritism in Brazil
Spiritism is well on the way to becoming the most national of the religions practiced in Brazil. Yet apart from Christian clergymen, social scientists, and of course Spiritists themselves, few educated people pay much attention to its rapid and wide spread. Although they must see the sensational picture stories frequently appearing in magazines and on screens, they fail to realize that Brazil has become the acknowledged capital of the spiritualis…
