Neither Slave nor Free: The Ideology of Capitalism and the Failure of Radical Reform in the American South
Both before and during the US Civil War, political rhetoric in the northern states had a markedly radical tone that gave Southern blacks every reason to expect that they would be rewarded with 'forty acres and a mule' at the end of the war, along with some measure of economic independence. Instead, freedmen were cast out across the landscape, most with no material possessions other than the clothes on their back. The current article offers a crit…
Contact, Incorporation, and the North American Southeast
The broadening of the world-system, which involves the geographic expansion into previously external areas and integration of new economies into its network of economic relationships, is represented in world-system scholarship by two competing views. On the one hand, Wallerstein and his associates treat incorporation as being specifically contingent on the routine and systematic economic exchange for durable goods produced in the previously exter…
Crafting Europe’s “Clean Slate” Advantage: World-System Expansion and the Indigenous Mississippians of North America
My goal with this research is to contribute to our current understanding of how contact with and incorporation into the modern world-system may affect the trajectory of change among indigenous peoples. I do this by examining (1) the nature of social organization among the various peoples known collectively as Mississippians; (2) the processes involved in the supplanting of their political, cultural, and economic structures during the sixteenth-ce…
Blaming Me, Blaming You: Assessing Service Learning and Participants' Tendency to Blame the Victim
This study uses a comparative case study to explore the effect of service learning on the political socialization of participants and, in particular, on participants' patterns of blame attribution. Although numerous scholars have acclaimed the benefits of service learning, others have suggested that involving students in service learning may actually reinforce their tendency to blame victims of social problems for their own conditions. Little res…
Capturing the Experience: Transforming Community Service into Service Learning
Using a quasi-experimental design, this case study outlines the author's application of specific techniques necessary to implement a service learning component in an introductory sociology class. It also systematically compares the outcomes from two groups of students, one of which was involved in relatively unstructured community work and the other in a structured service learning assignment and examines the benefits experienced from this transf…
