Falling from Grace
Settler Colonial Strategic Culture
Australia's history as a settler colony within the British Empire fundamentally shapes its sense of security within the Indo‐Pacific region. Australia has consistently looked outside of its region for security and sought partners on the explicit basis of political, cultural, and ethnic similarity. What role does Australia's history play in shaping its foreign policy? We argue that these choices in foreign policy are inextricable from Australia's …
Ties that Bind/Unwind
This commentary provides a synthetic overview and analytic framework for understanding the papers in this volume of The ANNALS, which focuses on sharing networks in a comparative context. Economic crises endemic to capitalist societies generate the need for support networks, while welfare state configurations influence their importance as an additional survival tool. Social norms set the stage for the degrees of reciprocity and durable obligation…

New Angles on Inequality
The trenchant essays in this volume pose two critical questions with respect to inequality: First, what explains the eruption of nationalist, xenophobic, and far-right politics and the ability of extremists to gain a toehold in the political arena that is greater than at any time since World War ii? Second, how did the social distance between the haves and have-nots harden into geographic separation that makes it increasingly difficult for those …
Trapped in America's Safety Net
Growing Gaps
As inequality grows rapidly both in post-industrial societies and in the high-growth economies of the developing world, its centrality and ubiquity among problems of interest to social scientists is becoming only more apparent. And among all of inequality's causes and manifestations, access to education is key to understanding and combating it, both for improving a person's individual life chances and for increasing countries' national wealth. Th…
Laços que prendem
Nas sociedades nas quais a "saída tardia" da casa da família é comum, as pressões estruturais que levam nessa direção são semelhantes. No entanto, a resposta cultural varia consideravelmente de uma sociedade para outra. A análise comparativa entre vários países sugere que fatores demográficos muito semelhantes assumem um grau diferente de significação e distintos padrões de sentido. De fato, o que há de mais comum entre os países a respeito da sa…
Repeat Tragedy
The authors examine rampage shootings in American high schools after 2002 and consider whether factors identified in their prior research on rampages from 1974 to 2002 account for the more recent cases. The authors find that the five factors-social marginality, individual predisposing factors, cultural scripts, failure of the surveillance system, and availability of guns-remain important features. The authors then contrast these high school shoot…
Ties that Bind
Throughout the developed world, young adults hit hard by declining labor market opportunities and rising housing costs have been staying in the natal home. Particularly hard hit are the weak welfare states of southern Europe and Japan, while the social democracies have continued to support the residential independence of young people at very early ages. This article considers the divergent cultural interpretations of this pattern of “delayed depa…
Are We There Yet? Reflections on the 2008 Political Scene
Public sociologists have hit the trail this year in blogs, op-eds, essays, and designed to shine an analytic light on what feels-for better or worse-like the longest running presidential in history. Candidates have been no less prolific, pro viding the public more than one best-selling biography and assorted campaign books designed to lay out their political philosophies and the personal experiences that have led them to their convictions. Politi…

The Texture of Hardship
Focusing on the past decade, this review considers advances in the qualitative study of working poverty, welfare reform, patterns of family formation, neighborhood effects, class-based patterns of childhood socialization, and the growing European literature on social exclusion. We highlight the increasing importance of qualitative research embedded in large-scale quantitative studies of poverty. Within each of these areas, we suggest new directio…

On the Value of Ethnography
Reproduced below is a conversation and question/answer session about the relationship of ethnography to public policy. The conversation took place in Philadelphia on November 7, 2003. Comments by Jean-Michel Chapoulie follow the dialogue (p. 277)
High Stakes
Socioeconomic Disparities In Health
Socioeconomic status (SES) underlies three major determinants of health: health care, environmental exposure, and health behavior. In addition, chronic stress associated with lower SES may also increase morbidity and mortality. Reducing SES disparities in health will require policy initiatives addressing the components of socioeconomic status (income, education, and occupation) as well as the pathways by which these affect health. Lessons for U.S…
Introduction
No Shame
Wacquant’s essay is less a review of three ethnographies about the inner city than a throwback to the sectarian days when leftists who failed to toe the Party line were deemed objective enemies of the working class. In this instance, we are told that research by Duneier (1999), Anderson (1999), and Newman is exhibit A for the charge “that U.S. sociology is now tied and party to... the neoliberal state and its ‘carceral-assistential complex ’ for …
Urban Poverty after The Truly Disadvantaged
In what follows we critically assess a selection of the works on urban poverty that followed the publication of WJ Wilson's The Truly Disadvantaged ( 1987 ), with a particular focus on the family, the neighborhood, and culture. We frame our discussion by assessing the broad explanations of the increased concentration of poverty in urban neighborhoods characteristic of the 1970s and 1980s. Then, in the section on the family, we address the rising …
Hard Times on 125th Street
Drawing on fieldwork in Harlem at the onset of welfare reform, I argue in this article for both a social structural and a cultural approach to the study of poor families facing the consequences of this historic policy change. Ethnographic understanding of household organization, kinship networks, reciprocal dependencies, intergenerational relations, migration, and gender must be brought to bear if we are to chart the responses of the poor to welf…

Culture and Structure in The Truly Disadvantaged
THIS ARTICLE OFFERS a critical analysis of W. J, Wilson's landmark work on urban poverty, The Truly Disadvantaged. Wilson's book analyzes the relationship between macroeconomic change (primarily deindustrialization) and innercity "underclass" culture, utilizing survey-research data exclusively. Four major issues link the domains of structure and culture: household formation and childbearing behavior, social isolation, institutional disintegration…
Symbolic Dialects and Generations of Women
This paper reports on a study of 30 white, middle‐class American women who have suffered severe losses in household income as the result of divorce. It argues that subjective interpretations of “downward mobility” following divorce differ for women from two different cohorts or generations. These differences are explained in terms of the dynamics of the domestic cycle that distinguish the two cohorts and in terms of variations in symbolic systems…

A Compliance‐resource Theory of Regulatory Failure
Neither capture theory, nor neo‐conservative theory and technical failure arguments adequately account for the behaviour of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OHSA) during the 1970s. A framework drawn from organisation theory suggests that regulatory failure is due to a crisis of compliance resources caused by a flawed legislative mandate. Lacking effective compliance mechanisms, regulatory agencies are forced into a bargaining po…

Social Status and Minority Recruit Performance in the Navy
Aptitude, motivation, training completion, and job survival measures were compared for 1,091 blacks, 192 Hispanics, 186 Asian, and 1,785 white recruits who entered Navy paramedical training during 1973. The minority groups were found to have lower aptitude and motivation scores, on the average, than the majority group, but tended to do as well as, and in some cases better than, the majority group on the performance measures. The effect of social …
