Special Symposium, Collective Vigilantism in Global Comparative Perspective Building a New Digital Archive
Today's Black Lives Matter movement has drawn attention to racial violence, especially lethal police violence, and compared it to the 'Jim Crow' U.S. South. However, this comparison requires more specific information about racial violence during this period. Uncovering and organizing this information are the main objectives of the Burnham-Nobles Digital Archive. It documents racial killings in the American South, 1930-1954. Racial killings refer …
The Long View of Transitional Justice
Apology has emerged quite forcefully in the long-established democracies of Canada and Australia. In these countries, harms and human rights abuses began with colonial settlement and the displacement of Aboriginal people and continue up through the present day. Government apologies have helped to alter political landscapes by supporting and advancing political claims of Aboriginal groups. Apologies, once given, set in motion government and societ…
Census and Categorization
Census categorization by race and/or ethnicity has long been an overlooked topic of study, although scholarly interest has grown. Such interest may be attributed to the multiple, overlapping, and sometimes competing political purposes that categorization serves. States categorize to satisfy larger goals of governance. Many public policies rely on ethnic and/or racial data. For example, in the United States, racial data are used to track the elect…

Here a Ghetto, There a Ghetto
This commentary questions whether ethno-racial identities play no role in recent developments in France's banlieues, as Wacquant argues. Wacquant's point that the French banlieues should not be simple-mindedly equated with American "ghettos" is well taken. However, there is no doubt that ethno-racial identities are growing in political and social salience in France. There should be a way to conceptually take these developments into account, witho…
The Prosecution of Human Rights Violations
This article analyzes the central arguments and findings of “transitional justice,” the study of how incoming rulers address the human rights abuses of outgoing regimes. A scholarly consensus suggests the balance of political power matters most for explanations of transitional justice decision making. However, other important influences include international factors and the passage of time combined with democratic governance and/or emotions. Our …
The Politics of Official Apologies
Intense interest in past injustice lies at the centre of contemporary world politics. Most scholarly and public attention has focused on truth commissions, trials, lustration, and other related decisions, following political transitions. This book examines the political uses of official apologies in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United States. It explores why minority groups demand such apologies and why governments do or do not offer t…
The Politics of Official Apologies
The myth of Latin American multiracialism
Daedalus Winter 2005 Many Latin American nations have long proudly proclaimed a multiracial ideal: unlike the United States, countries like Brazil and Mexico have celebrated the mixing of races, and claimed to extend equal rights and opportunities to all citizens, regardless of race. As a result of the region’s regnant faith in racial democracy, it has long been widely assumed that Latin American societies are nondiscriminatory and that their dee…
Shades of Citizenship
This book explores the politics of race, censuses, and citizenship, drawing on the complex history of questions about race in the U.S. and Brazilian censuses. It reconstructs the history of racial categorization in American and Brazilian censuses from each country’s first census in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries up through the 2000 census. It sharply challenges certain presumptions that guide scholarly and popular studies, notably that c…
History counts
Categories of race (ethnicity, color, or both) have appeared and continue to appear in the demographic censuses of numerous countries, including the United States and Brazil. Until recently, such categorization had largely escaped critical scrutiny, being viewed and treated as a technical procedure requiring little conceptual clarity or historical explanation. Recent political developments and methodological changes, in US censuses especially, ha…
