The Psychology of Culture
Carl Ratner, Macro Cultural Psychology: A Political Philosophy of Mind (New York: Oxford University Press, 2011), 544 pages, $69.95, hardcover. Psychologists engage in a number of practices that, mostly unwittingly, help to sustain the cultural distortions of the ruling class and hence their exploitative rule. One of these practices is to treat human behavior as primarily driven by biology. This leads, for example, to the medicalization of mental…

A Marxian Review of Gerontological Literature
A major concern for the sociology of aging and social gerontology is the lack of theoretical rigor. In particular, Birren and Bengtson (1988) describe all of social gerontology as "data-rich but theory-poor." In an effort to deal with the lack of theory, this essay reviews the general social gerontology literature from a Marxian perspective. The findings suggest that the Marxian framework can illuminate aspects of social gerontology hitherto left…
Ritual and the Legitimation of Inequality
This paper explicates the much neglected process through which ritual both reproduces and transforms beliefs concerning the legitimation of inequality. The point of departure is Collins's interpretation of Durkheim's approach. We rework Collins's analysis in terms of self-evaluation theory and develop a detailed description of several processes through which ritual is reproductive of the legitimation of a society's stratification system. In keepi…
Black Workers in an Industrial Suburb
In this study of black factory workers, Bruce Williams analyzes the racial discrimination that persists in the workplace despite federal regulations aimed at expanding opportunities for minorities. Focusing on a suburban industrial plant, Williams presents a rich and convincing portrayal of the strategies and interactions that result in discrimination. Using as his case study a once predominantly white, working-class community, which is now home …

Toward an Explication of the Legitimation Process
The Dialectics of Legitimation and Counternorms
This is part of a larger project, the goal of which is to develop a theory of how stratified social orders are legitimated. The approach is self-evaluation theory, which attempts to ground the process through which legitimating norms arise within the formation of the self. The purpose of this essay is to use self-evaluation theory to help account for the rise of another, countervailing set of norms that delegitimate stratification by supporting t…

A Cycle of Deprivation
Corporate Linkage and Control of the Corporate Economy
This paper begins with a brief critical review of the major perspectives in the debate concerning ownership and control of major corporations. After examination of a new source of data compiled by a Senate committee (pertaining especially to the expansion of stock control by institutional investors and, most importantly, by major commercial banks), we argue that none of these perspectives is strongly supported. In concluding we tentatively outlin…

Status Inequality in a Religious Community
The Meek Shall Not Inherit the Earth
Stratified social orders are maintained through a wide variety of mechanisms, one being broad-based legitimation of the notion of unequal distribution of primary resources. My attempt to develop a set of propositions provides at least a partial explanation of how such legitimation is generated and maintained. I argue that both conflict and functional theory point, at least implicitly, to the importance of the effect of unequal distribution of res…
The Empirical Side of the Power Elite Debate
From the earliest writings in social science there have been lively debates over the extent to which societies are dominated by elites.Recently, empirical data have been considered for elite backgrounds, elite interlock, elite unity, and elite influence on public policy, but interpretation of the data continue to be problematic.The findings are often confusing and conflicting mainly because of differing methodologies, definitions and indicators o…

Success Values and the Value Stretch
This study is an attempt to replicate and extend past research dealing with the controversy over the existence of common versus class-differentiated success values. Three sets of hypotheses derived from Rodman's theory of the value stretch are tested. Two random cluster samples, one white, one black, were drawn from Roanoke, Virginia, yielding a total of 202 respondents. Results generally contradicted Rodman's theory; instead, a moderately class …
On the Structure of Egalitarianism
The purpose of this analysis is to develop an understanding of what factors lead some people to support the idea of economic equality and others to oppose it. Of special concern is the question of why even low income people in this country so overwhelmingly oppose equality. A review of relevant literature suggests the existence of an underlying belief structure consisting of five elements, all of which must be present if equality is to be support…
The Culture of Poverty Revisited
Although the debate over the culture of poverty has diminished greatly in intensity, most of the principal issues in that debate remain unresolved. This is attributed, in large part, to the lack of a systematic theoretical framework to guide empirical research in this area. A proposed framework is developed, based upon Hyman Rodman's concept “value stretch.” General hypotheses are derived and applied to specific issues in the culture of poverty d…
Success Values
This study utilizes Hyman Rodman's concept "value stretch" in an attempt to help resolve the long-standing controversy over the existence of universal versus class-differentiated success values in American society. Some of the basic assumptions of the "value stretch" concept are drawn out, and a set of six hypotheses is derived. Data on educational, occupational, and income aspirations were obtained from white high school boys in four Massachuset…
