Interrogating the Importance of Collective Resources for the Relationship of Gentrification With Health
The relationship of neighborhood conditions with health outcomes has been well documented, but less is known about importance of neighborhood change. Research that examined the relationship of gentrification with health outcomes produced mixed results, but only a few studies were able to examine the role of local social capital as a potential moderating influence. Using a survey of Hurricane Katrina survivors, tract-level health estimates from th…
A Socio-Spatial Analysis of Race and Crime in New Orleans
The relationship of residential segregation with neighborhood crime has been well established with many studies finding segregation was positively associated with neighborhood crime. Research has begun to explore the importance of neighborhood community for the relationship of segregation with crime, but few studies were able to incorporate explicit measures of social capital. The current study engages with this limitation by examining the relati…
Researching Crime After a Disaster: What We Can Learn From a Large Survey in New Orleans After Hurricane Katrina
In this article, I describe a large ( N = 7,000) survey we conducted in greater New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. We encountered many challenges in conducting the survey and used a number of creative means of collecting the data. Our survey, which included detailed questions about collective resources and can be aggregated to the census tract level, has great utility in investigating not only crime but also such questions as repopulation, blig…
Strangers in the Neighborhood: Violence and Neighborhood Boundaries
New Orleans experienced elevated rates of violent crime throughout the thirty years between 1985 and 2015. Violence was disproportionately represented in socioeconomically disadvantaged communities. This study explores the lived experiences of residents from one such neighborhood, using individual interviews, focus groups, and participant observation. The data indicate that neighborhood boundaries vacillated between rigidly defensive and porous, …

The Fema Trailer Parks: Negative Perceptions and the Social Structure of Avoidance
In recent years, negative media attention has fostered the impression that Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) parks are social wastelands filled with criminal elements and other undesirables. FEMA parks have subsequently come to be viewed by some as a major threat to the safety and quality of life of the local communities in which they are situated. This analysis addresses attitudes toward FEMA trailer parks in Baton Rouge after Hurricane…
Where Was the Working Class? Revolution in Eastern Germany
In six months bridging 1989 and 1990, the German Democratic Republic underwent a transformation that took the world almost completely by surprise. Yet unlike the revolution in Poland a decade earlier, only a small percentage of workers played apolitically active role in the fall of socialism in Germany. In this unprecedented study, Linda Fuller sets out to explain why the working class was largely missing from the 1989-90 revolution. Drawing on p…

Recent Social Trends in West Germany, 1960-1990
The thirty-year period examined was characterized in West Germany by a number of inconsistent trends. While income and consumption levels increased as part of a silent revolution, poverty also increased, especially during the 1980s. People's lifestyles changed, with less time spent on formal employment and more on household production and recreation. Individualization and pluralization began to dissolve the class structure, and social movements s…

The Sources and Structure of Legitimation in Western Democracies: A Consolidated Model Tested with Time-Series Data in Six Countries Since World War II
Both new-left and neo-conservative theorists argue that poor state performance can lead to a legitimation crisis, but they neglect distinctions among different forms of political support and objective conditions that citizens evaluate. I propose a theoretical model that distinguishes between (a) confidence in institutions and legitimation of democracy and (b) state performance and the structure of opposition (party systems, governing coalitions).…
Cohorts, Regimes, and the Legitimation of Democracy: West Germany Since 1945
Though researchers have begun to prefer cohort and period-cohort accounts of generational differences to life-cycle accounts, clear and unambiguous empirical support for either has been rare. Mannheim's theory of generations suggests that this failure may result from seeking cohort or period-cohort effects where the historical events that generate them do not have sufficient impact. Therefore, the aftermath of a revolutionary event is investigate…

The Variable Effects of Education on Liberal Attitudes: A Comparative- Historical Analysis of Anti-Semitism Using Public Opinion Survey Data
The effects of education on liberal values are shown to be not universal, but rather, to vary systematically cross-nationally. These effects are interpreted as a form of socialization-not as psychodynamic or class effects-and they are investigated in a comparative-historical perspective, using attitudes on anti-Semitism as the dependent variable. Selznick and Steinberg's hypothesis that education's liberalizing effects represent the influence of …

Tolerance of Free Speech in the United States and West Germany, 1970-79: An Analysis of Public Opinion Survey Data
In previous research on political tolerance in West Germany I found that respondents'level of education had no statistically significant effect on a number of variables measuring tolerance. This result seemed to contradict standard findings for populations of democratic countries. Therefore, this article explicitly compares tolerance of free speech for nonconformists in America using replications of Samuel Stouffer's benchmark questions (National…
The Imperfectly Mastered Past: Anti-Semitism in West Germany since the Holocaust
While it is probably still correct to insist that the Nazi murder of European Jews, the Holocaust, is unique in the history of man's cruelty to man, one has a disturbing sense that it may not remain so rather, that it may become a typical form of reaction by a society at a particular stage of development to a particular kind of crisis. One's natural reaction to this suspicion is to inquire into the conditions which permit this kind of tragedy and…
