Examining signed language challenges of early- and late-exposed deaf children
Many deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) children who are exposed to a signed language acquire their language with seemingly little effort and communicate effectively with other signers. However, some children struggle with aspects of comprehension or production, and their communication with other signers is hindered. An online survey was used to gather estimates from professionals who work with signing DHH children about aspects of signed language co…
The Impact of Structural Violence on Women’s Capacity to Fully Participate at Candidate and Electoral Management Levels in Zimbabwe
This article focuses on ‘hidden’ institutional violence, also known as structural violence, and gender divisions in electoral processes in Zimbabwe. Structural violence occurs when one category of people is accorded an unequal status in relation to other categories of people. The main argument presented in the paper is that, in Zimbabwe, structural violence renders the implementation of gender equality in electoral governance nugatory. Political …

Chasing the American Dream
In the aftermath of the cataclysmic 2016 elections, one thing is clear: the American Dream is in peril. On the topic of how and why, however, there is considerable disagreement. Though published in 2014, Rank and his colleagues have written a book that is more relevant now than ever, precisely because it explains the main pillars of the American Dream, the paths to achieving it, the principal obstacles blocking people, and which policies might di…

Jobs, Flags, and Laws: How Interests, Culture, and Values Explain Recruitment into the Utah Minuteman Project
Immigration is currently a combustible social issue in the United States, contributing to national political polarization. The Minuteman Project is one prominent group shaping contemporary immigration politics. This study explores the Utah chapter of this movement and explains why people join. In social movement terms, we highlight which grievances-material, cultural, or value-oriented-predict movement recruitment. This research incorporates a ra…

Fiction Over Facts: How Competing Narrative Forms Explain Policy in a New Immigration Destination 1
U.S. immigration has changed dramatically in the last 20 years: immigrants have increasingly gravitated toward “new destinations” and a growing portion are undocumented. In the absence of federal comprehensive immigration reform, states are proposing a patchwork of laws. While some laws encourage immigrant integration, most seek restriction. To understand this trend, this article analyzes Utah as a new immigration destination, exploring its trans…
Interests Aren’t Everything: An Exploration of Economic Explanations of Immigration Policy in a New Destination
Current debates around US immigration policy are playing out against a backdrop that has changed significantly in the past 20 years: immigrants have increasingly gravitated towards “new destinations”; a large and growing portion of immigrants are undocumented; and the federal vacuum in responding to the promise and problems of these new immigration trends has devolved policy to the states. As a result, we have seen innovation on the state level a…

A Tale of Two Communities: Divergent Development and Embedded Brokerage in Postwar Guatemala
Sociologists of development are increasingly interested in better understanding the reasons for intracountry variation of development outcomes, often focusing on community-level studies. I draw on extensive fieldwork in two return-refugee communities in rural, postwar Guatemala to explain why some community development initiatives succeed while others fail. I attribute this divergence to the presence of embedded brokerage, a new form of brokerage…
Lessons from South Park: A Comic Corrective to Environmental Puritanism
This paper explores how South Park's scriptwriters, consistent with Burke's comic corrective, employ populist storylines to satirize radical environmentalists and their opponents. It analyzes three South Park episodes, examining its use of adult cartoon media from two related and optimistic perspectives: Burke's comic frame, to show how South Park acts as a comic corrective to the sometimes boorish behavior of environmental ideologues and Kazin's…
Social Movements, Indigenous Politics and Democratization in Guatemala, 1985-1996. Roddy BRETT: Boston: Brill, 2008
Recent events in Guatemala – selective repression of indigenous activists, human rights violations, and the acceleration of everyday violence – attest to the truism of an old saying: “The past is still with us; in fact, it isn’t even passed.” To be sure, the intensity and scale of political violence has been reduced dramatically since the signing of the peace accords that ended one of the most brutal and seemingly intractable wars in the western …
Neoliberalism, Grievances, and Democratization: An Exploration of the Role of Material Hardships in Shaping Mexicos Democratic Transition
This article explores the relationship between neoliberalism and democratization in Mexico. For decades the Mexican state maintained the one-party rule of the PRI (Partido Revolucionario Institucional) through a complex arrangement involving corporatist and clientelist practices. The onset of neoliberalism including the 1982 peso crisis and the imposition of structural adjustment policies realigned state policies with the result that the Mexican …
Agency and Empowerment under Unlikely Conditions: Exploring How Wartime Displacement Can Promote Community Development
Scholars agree that violent conflict is a major obstacle to development. Wars destroy physical infrastructure, disrupt communication and transportation, encourage capital flight, and discourage foreign and domestic investment. And most important, wars inflict incalculable losses on human populations due to death or displacement. While war is undoubtedly devastating, current research largely fails to explore how wartime displacement can create ins…

When Local Troubles Become Transnational: The Transformation of a Guatemalan Indigenous Rights Movement
In the early 1990s, Guatemalan massacre survivors mobilized to demand the exhumation and burial of relatives killed during government repression in the 1980s. Using connections -with transnational activist networks, this local movement successfully implicated not only the Guatemalan government but also important international actors such as the World Bank in the atrocities. In contrast to Keck and Sikkink's boomerang model, which proposes that mo…

Parting the Long Grass: Revealing and Reconceptualising the African Family
In 1991 the United Nations proclaimed 1994 to be the International Year of the Family (IYF) and further called upon member states to discuss various strategies for implementing the IYF objectives. The most important objectives identified for special attention include the stimulation of local, national and international actions as part of a sustained long-term effort to increase awareness of family issues among governments and the private sector. …
Uncovering Reality: Excavating Women's Rights in African Family Law
The purpose of this article is to identify the specific issues which affect African women in the sphere of marriage and family relations within the framework of Articles 15 and 16 of the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women. The discussion requires not only an elaboration of the laws and customs of many African countries but also a general framework in which to understand important concepts such as marriage a…
