Race and Ethnic Relations
North American black bears, like people, come in a wide variety of colors. They formed the basis of an interesting experiment about race by Lawrence Hirschfeld (1996) , professor of anthropology and psychology at the University of Michigan. Hirschfeld showed Americans pictures of a light bear and a dark bear, and three bear cubs—one light, one dark, and one in between. Most people, children and adults, correctly predicted that the intermediate-co…

Sociology
This best-selling textbook returns for an eighth edition with material on the most fundamental issues in sociology today. The authors continue their tradition of focusing on the big picture, with an emphasis on race, class, and gender in every chapter—building on the seventh edition’s discussion of reproductive justice after the revocation of Roe v. Wade, social movements such as Black Lives Matter and #MeToo, a discussion of the COVID-19 pandemi…
Five Decisive States: Examining How and Why Donald Trump Won the 2016 Election
The election of Donald Trump to the U.S. Presidency in 2016 is attributable to voting shifts in a small number of states between the 2008 and 2012 elections and the 2016 election. There were six states that voted for Barack Obama in the 2008 and 2012 elections and then for Donald Trump in 2016. In one state, Florida, voting shifts among the 2008, 2012, and 2016 elections were small. However, in the other five states, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, Oh…
Race and Ethnic Relations
This chapter explores some of the reasons that racial and ethnic conflicts have been so widespread throughout history. In order to address this issue one must first understand what is meant by race and ethnic group . Besides race and ethnicity, minority groups may be defined on the basis of other ascribed social characteristics such as sex, physical disability, or sexual orientation. Social-structural theories see racial and ethnic inequality as …

Even whiter than we thought: What median residential exposure indices reveal about white neighborhood contact with African Americans in U.S. metropolitan areas
Metropolitan Statistical Area
A Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) is a geographical entity, defined by the Office of Management and the Budget (OMB) and used by the Census Bureau and other agencies, to represent a city or group of cities and its surrounding built‐up and/or economically integrated region. Counties form the building blocks of MSAs and are used because they allow for comparison between censuses, are widely recognized, and are geographical areas for which a wid…
Residential Interracial Exposure and Isolation Indices: Mean versus Median Indices, and the Difference It Makes
Interracial exposure and isolation (p*) indices have been widely used in studies of residential racial segregation. However, a recent pilot study raised serious issues about the use of these indices, because they are based on the mean statistic, which may yield misleading results in the case of skewed distributions, as is often the case with census tract racial compositions. An alternative median exposure index (p*-md) is proposed, and mean and m…
Race, Not Class: Explaining Racial Housing Segregation in the St. Louis Metropolitan Area, 2000
Two techniques, computation of segregation indices within income categories, and indirect standardizations based on income and two measures of housing cost, are used to assess the extent to which residential segregation in the St. Louis metropolitan area in 2000 may be attributed to socioeconomic differences between whites and African Americans. Both techniques indicate that the overwhelming majority of segregation is attributable to race, not cl…
Contesting our Everyday Work Lives: The Retention of Minority and Working-Class Sociology Undergraduates
Efforts to improve retention and graduation among minority students have been commonplace in higher education, but few such efforts have been undertaken in sociology. In this presidential address, I document that in sociology, as in other disciplines, disproportionate numbers of African American and Latino/a students do not graduate. I examine sociological research on the barriers to success that face students of color in predominantly white coll…
Digging for Pathogens: Ancient Emerging Diseases-Their Evolutionary, Anthropological and Archaeological Context (review)
The Western world is becoming increasingly alarmed over the threats presented by new or reemerging diseases such as drug-resistant pathogens, tuberculosis, Legionnaire's disease, HIV and Ebola viruses, prions, mad-cow disease, and new strains of the cholera bacillus. As a result, in 1996 the Center for the Study of Emerging Diseases (CSED) was established in Jerusalem; a year later, its first symposium on the Archaeology of Emerging Diseases was …

Race Still Matters: The Minimal Role of Income and Housing Cost as Causes of Housing Segregation in St. Louis, 1990
Two techniques are used to examine the extent to which racial housing segregation in the St. Louis metropolitan area in 1990 is attributable to income and housing cost differences between African-Americans and whites. Measurement of segregation within household-income categories revealed that, at all income levels, African-Americans and whites with similar incomes are about as segregated as African-Americans and whites overall. Indirect standardi…
Twentieth Century Wars: Some Short-Term Effects on Intergroup Relations in the United States
There is a close correspondence between war and collective racial violence in the twentieth century United States. War stimulates minority group migration and often heightens the assertiveness of minorities. Both of these conditions may act to precipitate ethnic violence, though the form of that violence varies depending on social conditions. In popular wars following periods of economic scarcity and competition (e.g., World Wars I and II), minor…

Black-White Housing Segregation in the City of St. Louis: A 1988 Update
Data from the 1988 St. Louis Dress Rehearsal Census are used to measure trends in residential segregation between decennial censuses. From 1940 through 1980, St. Louis city exhibited a persistent pattern of segregation, and through 1980, an exceptionally high proportion of its white population lived in exclusively white areas. Between 1980 and 1988, segregation declined significantly at both the tract and block levels and interracial exposure inc…

Suburbanization and Central-City Crime Rates: New Evidence and a Reinterpretation
Previous studies have reported a positive relationship between the degree of suburbanization of a metropolitan area and central-city crime rates. Two competing explanations of this relationship, one based on relative deprivation in cities as compared with suburbs and the other attributing the relationship to suburb-to-city movements of crime participants, have been offered. The present study, based on regression analysis of 1980 census data, find…

P* Segregation Indices: What Can They Tell Us about Housing Segregation in 1980
An alternative measure of segregation, the P* index, is explained. This measure is computed separately for each racial/ethnic group and, in a diadic situation, indicates each group's potential for neighborhood contact with the other. The usefulness of this index, as well as the different information it provides from that provided by other indices, is discussed. P* indices are computed for blacks and whites for the St Louis metropolitan area in 19…
Black Male Unemployment in U.S. Metropolitan Areas: The Role of Black Central City Segregation and Job Decentralization
Housing segregation has been suggested as an important cause of high unemployment among black Americans, because segregation restricts the black population to living in those central city areas which are losing jobs. Previous studies have not offered a conclusive test of this hypothesis, as they present conflicting findings and have a number of methodological difficulties. Using regression analyses on data from U.S. SMSAs, it is shown that the di…

Segregated City, Segregated Suburbs: To What Extent Are They Products of Black-White Socioeconomic Differentials
This study uses the technique of indirect standardization to assess the extent to which 1980 housing segregation patterns in the St. Louis metropolitan area are the result of socioeconomic differences between blacks and whites. Previous studies have shown socioeconomic status to be relatively unimportant as a cause of black-white segregation, but, in the past, segregation has in large part taken the form of exclusion of blacks from the suburbs. I…
Housing Segregation in the School Age Population and The Link between Housing and School Segregation: A St. Louis Case Study
The age distributions of the black and white populations vary, as do the ways in which blacks and whites of differing ages are distributed geographically in metropolitan areas. The nature of these differences is such that, in racially mixed neighborhoods, black families with children are often mixed with childless or elderly white adults. For this reason, it is hypothesized that the school-age (5 to 17 years of age) population is more residential…

The Ecological Context of Urban Crime: A Further Exploration
This article tests further a relationship between suburbanization and central-city crime rates shown in papers by Gibbs and Erickson (1976) and by Skogan (1977). We show that although Gibbs and Erickson fail to introduce an important control (metropolitan population), the relationship persists after such a control is introduced. We also show that the relationship holds for a much wider range of cities than the 32 large cities studied by Skogan. D…

Metropolitan Housing Segregation in 1980: The St. Louis Case
Metropolitan patterns of black/white housing segregation are analyzed through the 1980 census data for the St. Louis Metropolitan area. Using the index of dissimilarity as an indicator of segregation, it was found that there was no change in central city segregation, and only a modest decline in suburban segregation. Analysis of segregation within incorporated places revealed that most of the area's population lived in racially homogeneous or int…
