Results: Four categories describe residents’ views about sexuality, their needs and barriers to its expression: ‘It sti…
Niebuhrian Realism and the Formation of US Foreign Policy
This essay offers an analysis of Reinhold Niebuhr's influence on both US foreign policy thinking in his day as well as contemporary conversations about American approaches to international relations. To this end, four questions for consideration will be engaged: (1) What are some of the implications of Niebuhr's influence on Hans J. Morgenthau for the construction of US foreign policy? (2) To what extent did Niebuhr's evolution in thinking regard…

Embedding the Color Line: The Accumulation of Racial Advantage and the Disaccumulation of Opportunity in Post-Civil Rights America
This article investigates why deeply entrenched racial inequality persists into the post-civil rights era in the United States. It challenges individual-level explanations that assume persistent racial inequality is the result of either White bigotry, which is diminishing, or the failure of Blacks to take advantage of the opportunities opened up by the civil rights legislation of the 1960s. We propose an alternative explanation for durable racial…
The Conflict Over People: The Story of Abraham and Ibrahim and the Strangers, the Consumption of Illegal Human Labor and the Conflict Over Immigration
S ustainable Diplomacy demands that people become willing to sustainable abandon old perceptions and means of communication. While Ecological Realism underscores the common earthly connections that all creatures share, it also reminds us of the reality of one common human fate: ultimately, human populations will learn to cooperate and share natural resources in a sustainable manner, or perish. These keywords were added by machine and not by the a…

White Reign: Deploying Whiteness in America
From evil to illness: Medicalizing racism
Arguments for treating racism as an illness or an addiction are critiqued, and it is suggested that such efforts constitute a step backward in the battle against racism and discrimination. Medicalization, rather than being a catalyst for social change, is a mode of social control. The assumptions underlying the disease model are examined, and a strategy is outlined for dealing with racism as a structural phenomenon broader and more complex than p…

Portraits of White Racism
First published in 1977, Portraits of White Racism advanced a distinctively sociological theory of racism. Based on five case histories, it critically assessed the prevailing social-psychological paradigm that equated racism with prejudice and provided an alternative interpretation. Racism, the book argued, could be understood as a culturally sanctioned strategy for defending social advantage based on race; it was not simply the product of psycho…

The Politics of Herbert Blumer's Sociological Method
Prevailing wisdom among sociologists is that Herbert Blumer's sociology is not useful in modern contexts because he did not provide a method for researching his ideas. This article contends that Blumer's appreciative view of the actor's perspective is a methodological contribution; and that his methodological perspective is political in two respects: it is anti-elitist and democratic
