Racialized Femininity and Masculinity in the Preferences of Online Same-sex Daters
This study considers how online dating preferences reflect gendered racial inequality among same-sex daters. Research shows that heterosexuals reproduce gendered racial hierarchies through partner preferences, yet little work examines the preferences of sexual minorities, especially lesbians. Moreover, few studies examine racial heterophily (a preference for racial groups other than one’s own), which may influence interracial pairings. Using data…
How External Racial Classifications Shape Latino Dating Choices1
Understanding how different dimensions of race relate to the lived experiences of Latinos may shed light on the assimilation trajectories of different segments of the Latino population. Existing research suggests that racial appearance influences Latinos' socioeconomic outcomes due to discrimination. However, researchers have not examined how Latinos' perceived race relates to their acceptance of other racial/ethnic groups, thus revealing their a…
Gendered Black Exclusion
Patterns of Racial-Ethnic Exclusion by Internet Daters
Using data from 6070 U.S. heterosexual internet dating profiles, this study examines how racial and gender exclusions are revealed in the preferences of black, Latino, Asian and white online daters. Consistent with social exchange and group positions theories, the study finds that whites are least open to out-dating and that, unlike blacks, Asians and Latinos have patterns of racial exclusion similar to those of whites. Like blacks, higher earnin…
Racial Boundaries among Latinos
How the growing Latino population fits into the U.S. racial structure is a subject of considerable debate.Are Latinos developing into a separate racial group, becoming part of the dominant group, or creating a panminority group with nonwhites? Extending beyond existing research that uses intermarriage or survey data to assess racial boundaries, this study examines Latinos' stated racial preferences for dates among a sample of over 4,000 Internet …
Gender, Church Involvement, and African-American Political Participation
While numerous studies discuss the political implications of class divisions among African-Americans, few analyze gender differences in political participation. This study assesses the extent to which church activity similarly facilitates men's and women's political participation. Employing data from a national cross-sectional survey of 1,205 adult African-American respondents from the 1993 National Black Politics Study, the authors conclude that…
Internet Daters’ Body Type Preferences
Employing a United States sample of 5,810 Yahoo heterosexual internet dating profiles, this study finds race-ethnicity and gender influence body type preferences for dates, with men and whites significantly more likely than women and non-whites to have such preferences. White males are more likely than non-white men to prefer to date thin and toned women, while African-American and Latino men are significantly more likely than white men to prefer…

Emotional Resonance, Social Location, and Strategic Framing
This paper examines a much-neglected and complex area of social movement research, the relationship between emotional resonance, social location, and strategic framing. Through an analysis of the 1960s civil rights movement organization, the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee, this paper examines two framing attempt outcomes, one that succeeded and one that failed. In doing so, it clarifies (1) the processes through which ideological prac…
External Political Change, Collective Identities, and Participation in Social Movement Organizations
Between 1964 and 1966 the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) transformed from an organization that cultivated a nonviolent civil rights collective identity to one that imposed a black nationalist perspective. What accounts for this substantial change? This chapter answers that question with a relational approach to the study of collective identity, arguing that this transformation directly resulted from the interaction of external (…

We Are Not What We Seem
How Long? How Long
A compelling and readable narrative history, How Long? How Long? presents both a rethinking of social movement theory and a controversial thesis: that chroniclers have egregiously neglected the most important leaders of the Civil Rights movement, African-American women, in favor of higher-profile African-American men and white women. Author Belinda Robnett argues that the diversity of experiences of the African-American women organizers has been …

Two Paths to Women's Equality
African-American Women in the Civil Rights Movement, 1954-1965
Through an analysis of gender in the civil rights movement, this article illustrates that the conceptualization of social movement leadership requires expansion. This study concludes that an intermediate layer of leadership is critical to the micromobilization of a social movement. This intermediate layer provides a bridge (1) between the social movement organization(s) and potential adherents and constituents, (2) between prefigurative and strat…
