Forster S: A Very New York Christmas!

A Very New York Christmas!

Southern City Politics argues that the field of urban politics and urban studies must be expanded to include the southern city, shifting the focus beyond northern and Midwestern cities and urban areas to the South. The book will help students understand how southern cities are dealing with issues of growth, sprawl, racial diversity, immigration, economic development, and natural and man-made crises.

Recent scholarship in American urban politics focuses on suburban, metropolitan, and national policies towards urban areas. But to what degree do contemporary urban settings in the South fit models of urban studies and politics? Do we need a new urban political theory to capture the unique qualities of southern cities? How has each southern city approached its particular issues through imaginative reconstruction, offering a prescription that involves urban planning, economic development, redistricting, or some other creative approach to decision-making? A book that focuses on the crises and creative political solutions of Southern cities is long overdue in order to address these questions. Southern City Politics argues that the field of urban politics and urban studies must be expanded to include the southern city, shifting the focus beyond northern and Midwestern cities and urban areas to the South. Sarita Gregory concentrates on the problems and issues facing southern cities in a comparative light, featuring cities from Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee, Texas, Louisiana, Virginia, Florida, and Mississippi. Gregory uses a multiple methods approach of regional survey data and polling analysis combined with case studies, news articles, and published interviews with Southern city administrators, elected officials, and citizen action groups to show the challenges that many southern cities face.Southern City Politics will help students understand how southern cities are dealing with issues of growth, sprawl, racial diversity, immigration, economic development, and natural and man-made crises. This is an invaluable addition to courses in urban politics and Southern politics alike, as well as relevant to the areas of urban studies generally, race and ethnicity, and political sociology.

Colorblind Nation examines how colorblindness is discussed, debated and deployed in a host of social, political and economic contexts. This book traces how the concept of colorblindness has shifted from an abstract societal goal to a normative belief system that now frames how individuals and institutions understand race in the context of equal opportunity, social mobility and perceptions of institutional racism. Using his own ethnographic research as well as social science polling research on racial attitudes, Chip Gallagher examines colorblindness in media, education, and corporate America.

New Directions in Critical Criminology

Drawing on a range of approaches including conflict, critical race, and social control theories, this book provides a comprehensive theoretical review of the need for a critical historical intersectional theory of policing and race.

The reaction to Ferguson, the murder of Trayvon Martin and other police-related deaths around the US has brought race and the criminal justice system to the forefront of current scholarly discussion. However, unlike the past, racial realism has been brought to the front line via expressions from those affected by police mistreatment as well as official reports from the Department of Justice and social justice advocacy groups. Although a public conversation has begun, lacking within this discourse is a cogent forthright criminological assessment that includes expressions and namely experiences from those affected by police-violenceDrawing on a range of approaches including conflict, critical race, and social control theories, this book provides a comprehensive theoretical review of the need for a critical historical intersectional theory of policing and race. Disrupting the obsolescence of racial realism in policing literature, this book also discusses the social and democratic implications of using critical historical intersectional analyzes in criminological research involving race.

Routledge Series on Identity Politics

This book investigates the development and the political implications of the LGBTQ rights movement in the United States. Oldmixon, Blackstone, and Watson aim to understand and explain the role of this movement in pluralistic, contemporary political life in the United States. Highlighting the cultural narrative, the book considers how the rights movement emerged and developed historically, at the mass level, and in the context of political institutions. Queer Politics is a comprehensive, much-needed text for LGBT politics classes.

In a very short time, LGBTQ issues have moved from the margins to the mainstream of American political life. The 1969 Stonewall Riots are commonly considered the start of the modern gay rights movement in the United States and within a few short years the number of gay groups and gay magazines precipitously increased. As gay civil society expanded, homosexuality transformed from a social identity to a political identity. On the basis of that identity, gay and lesbian activists engaged the political system to secure social and political rights in direct competition with religious traditionalism. This book investigates the development and the political implications of the LGBTQ rights movement in the United States. Oldmixon, Blackstone, and Watson aim to understand and explain the role of this movement in pluralistic, contemporary political life in the United States. Highlighting the cultural narrative, the book considers how the rights movement emerged and developed historically, at the mass level, and in the context of political institutions. First examining the science of sexuality, the book then discusses the development of an equal rights movement and the public’s attitudes on gays and lesbians. LGBTQ voting and representation, policies that involve gay rights, and a comparative perspective are also addressed. The book makes sure to not only examine lesbian, gay, and bisexual rights, but to also include discussion of transgender rights and the broader queer community. Queer Politics is a comprehensive, much-needed text for LGBTQ politics classes. Using the lens of cultural theory, the book examines how exactly such a marginalized group moved from the fringes to the mainstream of American political life.

How a Doll Remade the World

Barbieland

This book examines the SuperPAC network structure and their potential for affecting electoral outcomes in the wake of the landmark Citizens United Supreme Court ruling. This new political environment has important implications for the political system with respect to political competition and electoral accountability. In a timely analysis, this book contributes to our understanding of who runs for political office, the role of SuperPACs, and the applications of social network analysis to determine political influence in the electoral process.

The relationship between money and politics is a central concern to scholars and casual observers alike, especially when it seems to have such a pronounced impact on the electoral landscape in America. Conventional wisdom suggests that money affects politics: whether via lobbying or through elections, big money exerts too much influence in the political process. But academic research has only found mixed results to support these conclusions. Robbins’s book reexamines this influence in light of the dramatic changes in federal campaign finance rules, which have made it possible for large donors and "SuperPACs" to exert influence on the political system in potentially dramatic ways. Robbins argues that SuperPACs provide a quality subsidy for marginal candidates, giving otherwise uncompetitive or unqualified candidates a better shot at winning office.This book examines the SuperPAC network structure and their potential for affecting electoral outcomes in the wake of the landmark Citizens United Supreme Court ruling.
