The New Urban Frontier: Gentrification and the Revanchist City
Urban Sociology Is Alive and Well
It is difficult to respond to a review as poorly prepared, irrelevant, and rhetorical as Professor Gilderbloom's. It is poorly prepared because he seems not to have read our book in more than the most cursory manner, and, consequently, he makes numerous errors of fact. It is irrelevant because, in a very real sense, he does not review the text at all. Less than one-third of his comment is devoted to
Mirror Images? Three Analyses of Values in England and the United States
In his studies of cultural evolution, Talcott Parsons suggested that, in the modern era, core Western values were essentially unified and stable. This was most particularly the case when considering England and the United States, two societies from the same cultural stock. But the evidence Parsons used to substantiate his claims was selective and the empirical literature comparing values in England and the United States disagrees as to whether va…
The Sociology of Values
The history of the concept of values is reviewed from its beginnings in the 19th century to the present. Work on values rose to preeminence under Talcott Parsons and his associates during 1950-1965, Nevertheless, the theory they produced was flawed: It lacked sophisticated empirical support, imposed preordained categories on reality, and was formulated at an unresearchable level of abstraction. Alternative theories of values fared only somewhat b…
Counterculture and Dominant Culture Values: A Cross-National Analysis of the Underground Press and Dominant Culture Magazines
A content analysis of values in dominant culture magazines in the United States, Canada and Great Britain during 1957-59, 1967-69 and 1970-72 indicated a priority on instrumentalism and little shifting in overall value preference over time. This appears to be contrary to predictions made by counterculture observers that Western society was changing rapidly toward a countercultural ideology. A similar analysis of the underground press in the same …
Hippie Values: An Analysis of the Underground Press
Closed Systems of Behavior and Traditional Family Ideology
The objective was to obtain data relevant to the hyporhesis that systems of behavior at either the personality or the social structural level of analysis can influence the development of traditional or anti-democratic ideology in family relationships. At the level of personaliry, a high magnitude of rejection of opposing beliefs predisposes the closedminded individual to form an authoritarian outlook on life as expressed in a rigid dichotomizatio…
