The Compromised chronotope of Christminster
Gendered Anxieties
This paper examines debates that occur in the course of Muslim women's rights advocacy in Java, Indonesia, to provide critical ethnographic insights into the ways that gender issues and notions of family are implicated in political consciousness about nationhood, religious identity, boundaries, and governance. Javanese Muslim women's rights activists focus on the historical contextualization of religious doctrine to argue against what they see as…
Defensive localism in white and black
The activities of European-American and African-American youth gangs have been closely linked to the operation of changing racial and class structures. In this article, I compare European-American and African-American youth gangs in four historical periods: the seaboard city, 1787-1861; the immigrant city, 1880-1940; the racially changing city, 1940-1970; and the hypersegregated city, 1970-1999. I show that the differences between European-Americ…
Tribute, Turf, Honor and the American Street Gang
American street gangs have always been committed to the defense of turf and the attainment of honor. Street gangs have, however, changed markedly with respect to their goals, their age and racial composition, their relationship to the wider political, economic and cultural environment, their commitment to delinquency and their level of violence. These changes have resulted from immigration, population movement, economic transformations, racial an…
The Foraging Spectrum
Existential and Clinical Uncertainty in the Medical Encounter
Uncertainty has been a central theme in the sociology of medicine. Scholars have focused on the existential uncertainty which is an aspect of the illness experience, and on the clinical uncertainty which marks the diagnosis and treatment of disease. However, there are few intensive examinations of how existential and clinical forms of uncertainty mutually affect each other. This essay draws on a personal experience of illness with inflammatory bo…

God's Continent Divided
Following the American Revolution, the social foundation supporting a settled ministry and sustaining the Old World tradition of an established state church began to crumble, prompting Alexis de Tocqueville to observe that in the United States, 'the ideas of Christianity and liberty are so completely intermingled that it is almost impossible to conceive of the one without the other.' Large numbers of ordinary Americans who had internalized egalit…
Prisoners of Isolation
Toward a Marxian Penology
This paper analyzes penology in the United States during the 19th century in terms of the business cycle and labor supply. A systematic theory of the economic functions of imprisonment can be constructed with reference to the interaction between the crime- and class-control strategies of prison reformers, prison administrators, and government officials, and their financial and industrial goals. I develop a theoretical model which links variations…
Punishment after Slavery
This paper identifies and analyzes the political and economic functions of the state penal systems in the southern United States after the Civil War. The system of prison administration, discipline, and labor which emerged after 1865—known as the convict lease system—was a functional replacement for slavery. Like the Black Codes, vagrancy laws, and sharecropping arrangements, the convict lease system was a mechanism of race control used to preven…
The Unpublished Research of the Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism
The Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism sponsored 165 research studies, which were carried out in the years 1964–7. Of these, 24 were published by the Commission and distributed widely through the services of Information Canada. Publication proceeded in two series: “Research Studies of the Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism,” and “Research Documents of the Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism.” The fir…
