The Road Was Full of Thorns

Civil War Runaways and the Destruction of American Slavery

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.

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.

This timely and engaging account of how the president relates to political parties helps us understand how contemporary presidents have polarized the electorate, helped drive a wedge between Republicans and Democrats in Congress, put a strong partisan imprint upon the executive branch, and seek to get their message out through partisan media outlets. Partisan presidents in the new era are far less interested in neutral competence and instead use the national party committees as tools of governance.

Since the 1980s the American chief executive has shifted from a paradigm of the "modern presidency" to the "partisan presidency," argues Richard Skinner. This timely and engaging account of how the president relates to political parties helps us understand how contemporary presidents have polarized the electorate, helped drive a wedge between Republicans and Democrats in Congress, put a strong partisan imprint upon the executive branch, and seek to get their message out through partisan media outlets. Partisan presidents in the new era are far less interested in neutral competence and instead use the national party committees as tools of governance. The book balances the development of the partisan presidency through recent history, with a thorough understanding of how Barack Obama fits into this polarized environment. Despite Obama’s rhetoric of bridging the partisan divide, his governing style has shown more continuity with than change from previous partisan presidents. Political parties—far from being on the decline, as political scientists used to argue—are undergoing a strong revitalization in American politics. This creates some positive effects on the American political system, but is also associated with a number of dysfunctional features. Ultimately the U.S. separation of powers structure prevents an unbridled partisan presidency, but current trends suggest that strong partisan polarization is at some level a constant in American history and the mid-twentieth century was the anomaly. The Partisan Presidency is essential reading for students of American politics.

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.
