The sociology of antiracism in Black and White
This paper reviews sociological research on antiracism and suggests new directions for the field. Current research indicates although White antiracism constitutes attempts to negotiate privilege, it fails to divest from the systems of power that maintain the current balance of privilege in favor of White supremacy. In contrast, the antiracism of people of color provides some insight into attempts to secure liberation, a complete break from White …

Immigrants, Urban Politics, and Policing in 1900
America's largest cities in 1900 were struggling under the effects of industrialization, urbanization, and immigration. Increasing numbers of immigrants presented political, economic, and cultural threats to the hegemony of native-born middleand upper-class Americans. As a result, nonimmigrant Americans put pressure on the police to clamp down on urban crime, especially crime related to undesirable aspects of the 'foreign community's lifestyle li…
A City in the Republic: Antebellum New York and the Origins of Machine Politics
Machine Politics in America, 1870-1945
Machine Politics in America, 1870-1945 Efforts are underway to reform the historical study of the urban political machine. Once considered the key to much of the history of urban rule, the analysis of machine politics began to wear thin by the early 1970s, trapped within a framework that chronicled the duels between bosses and reformers. By the start of the I98os the study of machine politics was in serious trouble; historians who had grown tired…

Whereas origins and the environment account for the extent of formal personnel procedures, formalization in turn gives rise to multitier hierarchies and hierarchy to decentralized decision making. The effects of origins are due to greater openness to environmental pressures at the time of…
