Three Notes of Freedom
About Public Sociology
The Confounding Island
Orlando Patterson returns to Jamaica, his birthplace, to reckon with its history and culture. Locals claim to be some of the world's happiest people, and their successes in music and athletics are legendary. Yet the country remains violent and poor. In Jamaica the dilemmas of globalization and postcolonial politics are thrown into stark relief
The denial of slavery in contemporary American sociology
Slavery and Social Death
Winner of the Distinguished Contribution to Scholarship Award, American Sociological Association Co-Winner of the Ralph J. Bunche Award, American Political Science Association In a work of prodigious scholarship and enormous breadth, which draws on the tribal, ancient, premodern, and modern worlds, Orlando Patterson discusses the internal dynamics of slavery in sixty-six societies over time. These include Greece and Rome, medieval Europe, China, …
Modern Trafficking, Slavery, and Other Forms of Servitude
The claim that there has been a remarkable revival of slavery, other forms of forced labor, and human trafficking in our times has inspired widespread activism and a vast body of popular and academic works. Although the conflation of terms, exaggerated empirical claims, and a shortage of evidence-based work have prompted legitimate scholarly skepticism, modern trafficking and forms of servitude do present urgent problems for researchers, lawmaker…
From one Out-In to another
Loic Wacquant’s trenchant and much needed structural analysis owes its originality, in part, to the fact that he is an intellectual Out-In. That is, someone who observes and analyses from the perspective of both the outsider (a Frenchman who has studied ethnoracial dynamics in his native land) and an insider (a Franco-American who has studied and lived long enough in America to be able to claim true insider status). I too am an Out-In (a Jamerica…
Making Sense of Culture
I present a brief review of problems in the sociological study of culture, followed by an integrated, interdisciplinary view of culture that eschews extreme contextualism and other orthodoxies. Culture is defined as the conjugate product of two reciprocal, componential processes. The first is a dynamically stable process of collectively made, reproduced, and unevenly shared knowledge structures that are informational and meaningful, internally em…
The Culture of Sports
In conversation with Orlando Patterson, the editors of this special issue reflected and speculated on the nature of the historical sociologist's task and challenge. We agreed that any historical sociology concentrated upon particular events or single sports, but overlooking comparative cultural and social contexts, was narrow and over-focused. Recalling early contributions, Patterson notes how in cricket in the Caribbean there could be found an "…
Democracy and Trust
Slavery, gender, and work in the pre-modern world and early Greece
Historians of western antiquity have increasingly come to rely on the comparative method in their attempts to gain a better understanding of slavery in the ancient Mediterranean. There are good reasons for this. Slavery was widespread in western antiquity and rose to great importance in the two ancient societies we know most about – Athens and Rome – but there is a tantalizing shortage of data on the subject. Clio has been especially cruel to cla…
Slave Systems
A ground-breaking edited collection charting the rise and fall of forms of unfree labour in the ancient Mediterranean and in the modern Atlantic, employing the methodology of comparative history. The eleven chapters in the book deal with conceptual issues and different approaches to historical comparison, and include specific case-studies ranging from the ancient forms of slavery of classical Greece and of the Roman empire to the modern examples …

Four modes of ethno-somatic stratification
In this chapter I argue that there are four modes of ethno-somatic stratification in Europe and the Americas: the North American mode of binary mobilization, the Afro-Caribbean mode of pluralistic underdevelopment, the North European mode of proletarian incorporation, and the Latin mode of hegemonic blanqueamiento or whitening. Each mode refers to a unique configuration of ethno-racial ideology, ethno-demographic mix, ethno-class stratification, …
Ethnicity, Social Mobility, and Public Policy
This major comparative study of the social mobility of ethnic minorities in the US and UK argues that social mobility must be understood as a complex and multi-dimensional phenomenon, incorporating the wealth and income of groups, but also their political power and social recognition. Written by leading sociologists, economists, political scientists, geographers, and philosophers in both countries, the volume addresses issues as diverse as educat…
Cross-National Cultural Diffusion
This article explores the dynamics of cross-national cultural diffusion through the study of a case in which a symbolically powerful cultural practice, the traditionally English sport of cricket, successfully diffused to most but not all countries with close cultural ties to England. Neither network ties, nor national values, nor climatic conditions account for this disparity. Our explanation hinges instead on two key factors: first, the degree t…

"Patterson's Analysis Fuels "The Blame Game
Race and Gender Relations in Rituals of Blood
Rituals of Blood is the second volume of a trilogy about race relations in the United States (see also Patterson 1997). Unlike other authors on this topic, Orlando Patterson uses a multitemporal and multimethod approach to illustrate how relations between European and African Americans have consequences for some of the persistent problems plaguing African-American individuals, families, and communities. Through this effort, Rituals of Blood provi…

Persistence, Continuity, and Change in the Jamaican Working-Class Family
One of the most difficult prob lems facing the student of culture is that of deciding whether two corresponding pat terns, separated by time and/or space, are continuous, or whether they resemble each other purely by coincidence. The problem is quite familiar to students of cultural transmission and cultural change ( see Steward, 1972:88-92; Social Science Re search Council, 1954:973-1002; Heine- Geldern, 1968:169-173).

Freedom in the making of western culture
Argues that the concept of personal freedom developed as it did only in the Western world because of the role of women, along with slaves and foreigners, as outsiders, but that the Christian concept of spiritual freedom led to the justification of socialhierarchies
