The “Social Gap” in Biogas-Siting Decisions in Rural North Carolina: Centering Marginalized African American Perspectives
The article investigates African American community views on the development of hog-farm-based biogas production in rural North Carolina. In 2023, five focus groups ( N = 51) were conducted in Sampson County, the site of the first large-scale biogas project in North Carolina. The results suggest a prevalence of a “social gap” in the outlook of the residents, that is, they favored biogas as a source of renewable energy in general but opposed its d…
Where is the Black Town in American National Memory? The Case of Princeville, North Carolina
This article reports on a community-engaged research study of Princeville, North Carolina, the first formally chartered autonomous Black town in the United States, that has been in continuous existence. The article seeks to enhance historical understanding of the Black town in the United States and of the lesser-known history of Black resistant histories of North Carolina. Reporting on interview and observation research, the article analyzes (and…

Missing Colonies in American Myths of Slavery: Where Is the “Deep North” in Sociology Textbooks
This exercise in reflexive sociology consists of a comparative analysis of the standard verbiage of Introduction to Sociology and Sociology of Race/Ethnicity textbooks on the subject of American slavery. We interrogate whether narratives about slavery in sociology textbooks present the system as a peculiar Southern institution, or as a cross-regional institution that includes the Northern colonies. The study found that a majority of the Introduct…

Social media as public journalism? Protest reporting in the digital era
This article reviews recent research on social media platforms as outlets of street protest reporting by activists, posing the question of whether such outlets constitute a cultural source for protest movements. Given the “many‐to‐many” dynamic that alternative journalism via social media offers in contrast to the “one‐to‐many” approach of traditional media, there are implications for incursions into more democratic, participatory cultures and st…

Immigration and Women: Understanding the American Experience
This Should Not Be Happening in This Country”: Private‐Life Violence and Immigration Intersections in a U.S. Gateway City
In the United States, the rise in ethnic diversity due to immigration in recent decades has been most visible in new “gateway” cities and towns, such as the Baltimore–Washington, D.C. corridor, now the fourth‐largest gateway for new immigration. Among the more grave issues that immigrant women face in these gateways and elsewhere is the experience of intimate partner violence. This article reports on a study using qualitative methods to document …

Intersections, Immigration, and Partner Violence: A View From a New Gateway—Baltimore, Maryland
This article reports on the results of exploratory surveys with immigrant women regarding their observations of intimate partner violence and criminal justice practices in their communities in the emerging immigrant gateway of Baltimore, Maryland. Using an intersectional/interlocking theoretical framework, it asks how nativity interacts with other social locations in the experiences of partner violence through surveys of women representing 5 lang…
Delete, Restart, or Rewind? Post‐1989 Public Memory Work in East‐Central Europe
In this review, I survey the empirical research literature on collective memory work in post‐1989 Central‐East Europe. Among the central cultural changes that the transformative moment of 1989 represented for the seven former members of the Eastern Bloc was the restructuring of public memory, through new anniversaries, monuments, museums, and apologies. By synthesizing the existing literature, we can discern a number of common threads in public m…
