Moving from the Margins: Life Histories on Transforming the Study of Racism
At a time when movements for racial justice are front and center in U.S. national politics, this book provides essential new understanding to the study of race, its influence on people's lives, and what we can do to address the persistent and foundational American problem of systemic racism. Knowledge about race and racism changes as social and historical conditions evolve, as different generations of scholars experience unique societal condition…
Fabrice Cahen, Gouverner les mœurs: La lutte contre l'avortement en France, 1890-1950
La période 1890-1950 a été marquée en France par la crainte de la dépopulation et une obsession à propos du taux de natalité décroissant. C’est dans ce contexte qu’un groupe de militants s’est lancé dans une lutte contre les avortements, politisant cette question, tentant de modifier la loi et d’accentuer la répression policière pour en réduire le nombre. Ce sujet a depuis longtemps attiré l’attention de spécialistes de l’histoire du genre et de …

Sociology: The essentials
Margaret L. Andersen (1991-1995)
I became editor of Gender & Society in 1990 (first issue, June 1991). At the time, there were very few places for feminist scholars to publish their work. The major journals were Signs: A Journal of Women in Culture and Society, Sex Roles, and Feminist Studies. Within sociology, the major jour nals published hardly any scholarship on gender and were generally per ceived as unfriendly to qualitative much less, feminist, scholarship. Signs, as its …

Thinking About Women Some More: A New Century's View
When I wrote “Thinking about Women: A Quarter Century’s View,” I hoped the article would not only review some of the development of the sociology of gender but would also stimulate additional thinking about the connections between gender, race, class, and sexuality. I am grateful for the thoughtful comments of the six authors responding here, not only because of the substance of their comments but also because of the tone with which they have fur…

Thinking about Women: A Quarter Century’s View
This article reviews the development of feminist studies during the latter quarter of the twentieth century, identifying initial themes in feminist theory and highlighting three major themes framing feminist scholarship today: the relationship between structure and agency; the intersection of race, class, and gender; and emerging studies of the political economy of sexuality. The article emphasizes the significance of understanding structured ine…

The Retreat from Race: Asian-American Admissions and Racial Politics
By examining the debate over Asian-American admissions at such universities as Stanford, Harvard, and Princeton, Takagi explains important developments in the politics of race. Her central argument is that the controversial admissions policies facilitate a subtle but important shift away from racial and toward class preferences in affirmative action procedures. This complex and sensitive subject is carefully analyzed, and will help readers unders…
Feminism and the American Family Ideal
Two important dimensions of the American dream for contemporary dualcareer couples are achievement and selfsufficiency. In-depth interviews with twentyone corporate dual-career couples reveal that this version of the American dream contains several distinctive features: negotiating two careers in one family; deciding to have children within the confines of traditional male career models; balancing parenting between spouses; and finding solutions …

Moving Our Minds: Studying Women of Color and Reconstructing Sociology
In a recent essay, Notes of a Barnard Dropout, the black poet and writer June Jordan evocatively recalls her undergraduate education in sociology. She remembers Professor Samuel Barber telling his class that if you really assimilated the perspectives and assumptions of sociology, you could never be bored. Sociology, Jordan says, gave her a new way to think about everything. Her essay reveals the promise of sociological thinking but also discloses…
