In Addition to Death
This article identifies the social and cognitive norms that degraded the value of a largely descriptive mining literature by examining the aftermath of the 1907 Monongah explosions and the experiences of a transnational migrant, Maria. The literature treated death as only a physical reality, not a social construction, and recovery as procedural, not causal, and emotions relegated to death, not shaped by other ordeals, while neglecting women’s exp…
Following Paesani Trails and Intimacies
This article documents personal lives in a Calabrian village in south Italy and the Fairmont Coalfield in northcentral West Virginia. It reveals the fracturing of families through emigration, betrayal, divorce, and death but, also, the Appalachian redemption of an immigrant woman. A range of primary sources is used, from West Virginia records of a mining disaster and a divorce to Italian police reports and interviews. Paesani (fellow villagers) g…
Catterina DeCarlo Davia — A West Virginia Donkey
Bureaucratic Order and Special Children
The character of the urban school has been shaped by the processes of democracy, law, bureaucracy, professionalism, and the market. These identify important but very different rule regimes, each with its own "action logic."1 The concurrent exercise of these diverse regimes—not moderated by a common culture—implies conflict in the urban school's organizational evolution. Other difficulties are implied by the heterogeneity of the common school and …
The Debate over Child Care, 1969-1990
The History of Special Education
This comprehensive volume examines the facts, characters and events that shaped this field in Western Europe, Canada and the United States. From the first efforts to teach disabled people in early-Christian and medieval eras to such current mandates as Public Law 94-142, this study assesses the development of special education as a formal discipline. The book presents a four-part narrative that traces its emergence in detail, from 16th-century Sp…

Bureaucratic Order and Special Children
Bureaucratic Order and Special Children
Historical research has contributed to our understanding of the evolution of juvenile justice and public school bureaucracies.' Yet, these institutions remain an enigma as long as the rules guiding their actors cannot be identified with law, professional standards, or policy. Sociologists have used participant observation to disclose such informal or understandings and rules, which are shared by organizational actors but not with the public.2 How…
Honour and Contracts
Interrelated conflict and transformation are associated with post World War II U.S. military. Conflicts within the command structure are depicted by military officers in their writings. Transformation, characterised by military sociologists as a process of “civilianisation,” has informed understanding over the past few decades. However, neither the officer‐writers‘ “close‐up” perspective nor, in retrospect, the sociologists’ sanguine formulations…
Negotiation and command
This article relates the subversion of public goals, marginalization of performance, and parasitic and inflationary relations to the structuring of public institutions in both capitalist and socialist societies. These outcomes are associated with a “game dynamics”. These relationships are structured by institutions' enabling conditions and their method of securing resources. Cases are provided to illustrate such relationships within informal but …
