SOCIOLOGY

Human TargetsSchools, Police, and the Criminalization of Latino YouthVictor M. RiosWith a Foreword by James Diego Vigil

“Training his attention on social problems he himself experienced growing up—street violence, poverty, racism—Rios is an important and original voice. In this patient and insightful relational ethnography, Rios shows how gang-associated Latino youth, often written off as a ‘lost generation,’ contain multitudes of identities and brim over with promise. But broken schools and justice systems far too often blunt these children’s potential and contribute to casting them on the wrong path. Critically urgent and rendered in clear prose, Human Targets is a must-read book that asks more of us.”—Matthew Desmond, author of Evicted2017 224 p. 6 x 9 12 halftones, 12 line drawings 1 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-09099-3 $20.00 Your Price: $16.00

Big House on the PrairieRise of the Rural Ghetto and Prison ProliferationJohn M. Eason

“This fascinating and critically important book disentangles the many forces that led to the late-twentieth century prison-building boom through a case study of Forrest City, Arkan-sas—a poor, rural prison town. . . . . Eason’s ethnographic observations redirect the political question of whether prisons are economic boons or busts by unveiling the conditions that gave rise to mass incarceration and related social ills in the first place.”—Mona Lynch, author of Hard Bargains: The Coercive Power of Drug Laws in Federal Court2017 240 p. 6 x 9 1 halftone, 4 maps, 3 line drawings, 5 tables 2 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-41034-0 $35.00 Your Price: $28.00

Social Theory NowEdited by Claudio E. Benzecry, Monika Krause, and Isaac Ariail Reed

“The title says it all! This timely collection of essays sparked by Benzecry, Krause, and Reed makes a compelling case for renewing sociologi-cal theory today. . . . Social Theory Now offers readers a wonderful entrée into the next stage of thinking about the future of social life.” —Julia P. Adams, Yale University “This fine collection of essays in social theory accounts the need for sociology to be outward rather than inward looking; the authors engage with issues broadly spanning the social sciences and humanities.”—Richard Sennett, London School of Economics2017 416 p. 6 x 9 2 line drawings 3 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-47528-8 $32.50 Your Price: $26.00

Down, Out, and Under ArrestPolicing and Everyday Life in Skid RowForrest Stuart

“Stuart straddles the gap between academic rigor and reader engagement with this impressive ur-ban ethnography. He not only tells the everyday story of the urban poor of LA’s Skid Row, he also tells the ideological story of the men and women who police them. This important book repre-sents a detailed and nuanced account of urban policing in a cultural and political environment where the debate has mostly become stagnant and binary. In addition to fascinating insights into life on Skid Row, Stuart provides an engag-ing example of ethnographic research, including an approachable methodological appendix.” —Choice2016 352 p. 6 x 9 13 halftones, 2 maps 4 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-37081-1 $27.50 Your Price: $22.00

NoiseLiving and Trading in Electronic FinanceAlex Preda

“In elegant writing, Preda is able to explain the complexity of electronic trading, revealing that what has often been described as random perturbations, enacted by ignorant traders, is, in fact, highly organized, intensely social, and fully cultural. What might be described as mere noise, seemingly unintelligible, is integral to how markets operate, and, in Preda’s telling, markets could not operate efficiently without such seem-ing inefficiency.”—Gary Alan Fine, author of Players and Pawns: How Chess Builds Community and Culture2017 264 p. 6 x 9 2 line drawings 5 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-42748-5 $35.00 Your Price: $28.00

“Roussel draws on interviews and behind-the-scenes observation to cast a detailed, ethnographic eye on the ‘show’ and ‘business’ of Hollywood agenting in the new media era. . . . How and why agents foster ‘professional intimacy,’ build reputations, negotiate deals, and place a value on talent in a media landscape that is both risk-averse and ever-shifting is the subject of this book.

“Ikard’s book is creative and interventive. With quite a bit of ease, he distills for the reader the ways of whiteness—to conjure tropes in the service of black inferiority and white superiority. For this journey, Ikard chooses the literary and everyday life as avenues through which we can best explore the pitfalls of the American land-scape.”—Jeffrey Q.

Varieties of Social ImaginationBarbara CelarentEdited and with a Preface by Andrew Abbott

“[A] beautiful book—deeply learned, deeply original, and deeply humane. If the ‘roots of humane social science,’ as the wise Barbara Celarent suggests, ‘lie in translation, in making the systematic leap from one social standpoint to another,’ then this book is both a compelling exercise in translation and a distinctive contri-bution to a humane social science.”—Rogers Brubaker, University of California, Los Angeles2017 320 p. 6 x 9 17 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-43396-7 $30.00 Your Price: $24.00

Making TroubleSurrealism and the Human SciencesDerek Sayer

Sociologist and cultural historian Derek Sayer explores what it might mean to take surreal-ism’s critique of civilization seriously. Drawing on a remarkable range of sources, Sayer first establishes surrealism as an important intel-lectual antecedent to the study of the human sciences today. He then makes a compelling and well-written argument for rethinking surrealism as a contemporary methodological resource for all those who still look to the human sciences not only as a way to interpret the world, but also to change it.Distributed for Prickly Paradigm Press

The Daily Lives of MuslimsControversy and Islam in Contemporary EuropeNilüfer Göle

“An incredibly important book. The current plague of anti-Muslim prejudice is due, in large part, to a lack of information about the diversity and lived realities of Muslim communities. This insightful volume confronts that reality with nu-ance and context. A must-read.”—Nathan Lean, author of The Islamophobia Industry “A fine-grained transnational study of the diversity of practices and reflections that people across Europe bring to their faith and identities as Muslims.

“Krinsky and Simonet for the first time study the park as a workplace, describing and analyz-ing employment relations institutionalized in the park’s labor market and showing how through neoliberal policies workers are being under-mined, dismissed, and restructured. In the end, the book is not just about the neoliberalization of public parks, but that of workplaces every-where.”—Luis LM Aguiar, University of British Columbia2017 288 p. 6 x 9 5 halftones, 4 line drawings, 3 tables 27 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-43558-9 $35.00 Your Price: $28.00

“Hyra’s concepts challenge readers to interro-gate their applicability, and for this reason they would be excellent to debate in policy circles or undergraduate classrooms.

“[A]n extraordinarily powerful, vivid, and multi-layered investigation of the contradictory mean-ings of home ownership as seen through the eyes and experiences of squatters on the Lower East Side in the 1980s and 1990s. With a deep respect for the squatters whose stories form the book’s core and with a bracingly realistic analysis of housing politics, Starecheski demonstrates how alternatives to the dominant property regime can emerge out of the creativity and persistence of people who refuse to accept its rules.”—Eliza-beth Blackmar, Columbia University2016 344 p. 6 x 9 13 halftones 34 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-39994-2 $30.00 Your Price: $24.00

Neoliberal ApartheidPalestine/Israel and South Africa after 1994Andy Clarno

“Through careful comparative analysis, Clarno undermines the popular misconception that Israel/Palestine and South Africa took divergent paths in the 1990s, with the latter becoming a model of post-racial freedom and equality. In-stead, as he persuasively explains, the experiences and standards of living of poor Palestinians and poor Blacks in South Africa are similarly precarious and vulnerable to violence and mar-ginalization.”—Lisa Hajjar, author of Torture: A Sociology of Violence and Human Rights2017 288 p. 6 x 9 28 halftones 35 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-43009-6 $30.00 Your Price: $24.00

“[G]ives a panoramic view of inequality in African American health. . . . Hill illustrates contemporary racial disparities in health in a deeper historical background, tracing racism and negative health outcomes for African Americans back to the slavery period, revealing how histori-cal and structural inequalities maintain and foster contemporary disparities. . . . .

Revolutionizing RepertoiresThe Rise of Populist Mobilization in PeruRobert S. Jansen

“Revolutionizing Repertoires goes well beyond the Peruvian case to develop a brand new approach for explaining political change. Jansen demon-strates that habit and creativity are as important in politics as they are in everyday life, and that—under the right conditions—novel politi-cal practices can arise from their interplay.”—Neil Gross, Colby College2017 288 p. 6 x 9 18 halftones, 1 map, 2 line drawings, 4 tables 37 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-48744-1 $37.50 Your Price: $30.00

The Death GapHow Inequality KillsDavid A. Ansell, MD

“Ansell does a magnificent job of uncovering the myriad ways in which structural racism — in housing, employment, education, and health care, for a start — creates unacceptable ‘death gaps’ or disparities in life expectancy that are preventable and therefore morally unaccept-able. This moving study delivers the harsh truth about the ways that racism infects our nation’s health care system.”—Beryl Satter, author of Family Properties: How the Struggle over Race and Real Estate Transformed Chicago and Urban America2017 240 p. 6 x 9 23 halftones 38 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-42815-4 $26.00 Your Price: $20.80 NABC

What Is an Event?Robin Wagner-Pacifici

“What Is an Event? is a sustained meditation about what Wagner-Pacifici has called the ‘rest-lessness’ of events. She develops a ‘political se-miotics’ of the event, elaborating and classifying the speech acts and other symbolic performances that attempt to comprehend, represent, steer, de-flect, or bring to an end events—but that often have the effect of pushing them unpredictably forward.”—William H.

Get Out of My Room!A History of Teen Bedrooms in AmericaJason Reid

“Reid skillfully reveals the expansion of ado-lescence in America over the last two hundred years by tracing the history of the most intimate space in many young American’s lives—their bedrooms. Opening the door to teen bedrooms, Reid reveals how young Americans experienced the shifting landscapes of class, race, urbaniza-tion and suburbanization, education, popular culture, and the growing secularization of society and family life. Ultimately, this history is a debate over dependency and autonomy, a fundamental question underlying the conflict over equality and power throughout American history.”—Kriste Lindenmeyer, author of The Greatest Generation Grows Up: American Child-hood in the 1930s2016 320 p. 6 x 9 10 halftones 43 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-40921-4 $45.00 Your Price: $36.00

Modernity and the Jews in Western Social ThoughtChad Alan Goldberg

“Goldberg’s original and provocative thesis—based on case studies of foundational figures in sociology from France, Germany, and the United States—is that Jews and Jews alone came to be treated as the signifiers of the pre-modern/modern binary. And as such, for scholars such as Durkheim, Marx, Weber, Sombart, Sim-mel, and Park, Jews were viewed as occupying a unique social space, being an Other unlike any other Other. Cogently argued and spelling out the implications for the discipline, this is a must-read book, deserving of serious scholarly reflection.”—Peter Kivisto, Augustana College and St. Petersburg State University2017 256 p. 6 x 9 2 tables 40 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-46055-0 $35.00 Your Price: $28.00

Making the Unequal MetropolisSchool Desegregation and Its LimitsAnsley T. Erickson

“Making the Unequal Metropolis provides the model for a comprehensive history that explores how factors both within the school system and without have interacted to increase inequality. Erickson convincingly demonstrates that neither white flight nor de facto residential segregation were the dominant factors that gutted policy ef-forts aimed at increasing equality; instead, it was the district’s enactment of those policies.”—His-tory of Education QuarterlyHistorical Studies of Urban America

Why We Can’t Afford the RichAndrew SayerWith a Foreword by Richard Wilkinson and an Updated Afterword by the Author

“As the poor become poorer and the rich become richer, the rich acquire increasing control over [a] crucial asset: money. Interest payments, overwhelmingly, are a transfer of money from the poor to the rich. . . . Sayer argues that the past four decades have been characterized by a transfer of wealth not only from the poor to the rich, but within the ranks of the wealthy: from those who make their money by producing new goods or services to those who make their money by controlling existing assets and harvesting rent, interest, or capital gains. Earned income has been supplanted by unearned income.”—GuardianDistributed for Policy Press at the University of Bristol

“Edelman argues persuasively that we live not in a post–civil rights society—as many have claimed—but a ‘symbolic civil rights society,’ an age committed to the trappings of civil rights but little more. Working Law is a distinct, original, and important interpretation of the long-term trajectory of civil rights policy. . . . Edelman makes the striking case that much of the path of change is driven by one force: the interests of major organizational employers and, specifically, the strategies of their managers to inoculate employment practices from challenge. It’s hard to overstate the significance of this work.”—Charles R. Epp, author of Pulled Over: How Police Stops Define Race and CitizenshipChicago Series in Law and Society

Rights on TrialHow Workplace Discrimination Law Perpetuates InequalityEllen Berrey, Robert L. Nelson, and Laura Beth Nielsen

“[A] brilliant, shocking indictment of our legal system. Berrey, Nelson, and Nielsen use quantitative data on discrimination suits and in-depth interviews with plaintiffs, employers, and lawyers to detail why the system is fatally flawed. People who face discrimination at work rarely complain, and when they do, they don’t find coworkers to join them or lawyers to represent them. Few win anything, and those who do are forced from their jobs and often end up desti-tute. Riveting interviews show that plaintiffs who were hopeful that the law would protect them feel disrespected by the courts and lose faith in our form of government. Meanwhile, failed lawsuits encourage employers to believe that their workplaces are free of discrimina-tion.”—Frank Dobbin, Harvard University2017 320 p. 6 x 9 2 halftones, 7 line drawings, 10 tables 50 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-46685-9 $30.00 Your Price: $24.00

Supersizing Urban AmericaHow Inner Cities Got Fast Food with Government HelpChin Jou

“Supersizing Urban America details how the U.S. government has helped subsidize the growth of fast-food outlets in minority communities through Small Business Administration grants, as well as urban revitalization and minority en-trepreneurship initiatives that prioritize fast-food establishments over other industries. It won’t be easy to reverse this trend, especially as the industry increasingly looks to Latino neighbor-hoods and other minority communities to boost sales. But Jou said there’s hope.”—Huffington Post2017 248 p. 6 x 9 2 tables 51 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-92192-1 $25.00 Your Price: $20.00

Going PublicA Guide for Social ScientistsArlene Stein and Jessie DanielsIllustrations by Corey Fields

“There’s much to admire in this brave and much-needed book about doing public scholarship. The text is clearly written and consistently engaging. The examples are vivid, compelling, and fresh. The advice—about the pros and cons of going public—is candid and wise.”—Eric Klinenberg, New York UniversityChicago Guides to Writing, Editing, and Publishing

EvidenceHoward S. Becker

“[A] deeply thoughtful, original take on the relationship between our ideas, the observations we make, and our ways of figuring out how we know what we are talking about. Becker breathes new life into an important tradition that has been overshadowed—thinking about methodol-ogy in terms of the practical organization of data gathering, alongside the practical ends we may not suspect, but that end up black-boxed as ‘objective’ data.”—Iddo Tavory, author of Summoned2017 240 p. 6 x 9 2 tables 59 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-46637-8 $20.00 Your Price: $16.00

Thinking Through MethodsA Social Science PrimerJohn Levi Martin

“[A]n incisive introduction to social research methods. Methods textbooks are too often a bit stodgy. This book is anything but dull. It’s irreverent and entertaining, full of examples of good and bad research. Novice and experienced researchers alike will come away with strategies to avoid common mistakes. I look forward to assigning it in both undergraduate and gradu-ate methods courses.”—Elizabeth Armstrong, University of Michigan2017 280 p. 6 x 9 3 line drawings, 2 tables 60 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-43172-7 $30.00 Your Price: $24.00

Paying the PriceCollege Costs, Financial Aid, and the Betrayal of the American DreamSara Goldrick-Rab

“Goldrick-Rab shows how the American Dream is structurally compromised by the exorbitant costs of higher education and a thoroughly dysfunctional financial aid system. . . .

The Ambitious Elementary SchoolIts Conception, Design, and Implications for Educational EqualityElizabeth McGhee Hassrick, Stephen W. Raudenbush, and Lisa Rosen

Down and Out in the New EconomyHow People Find (or Don’t Find) Work TodayIlana Gershon

“Ilana Gershon vividly illuminates how workers have become ‘brands’ or ‘businesses’ in the new economy. . . . As Gershon shows with numerous examples, the gain of the ‘personal brand’ may entail the loss of the person. And the gain of the ‘personal business’ may entail the loss of loyalty, security, and connection.”—Barry Schwartz, author of Why We Work2017 304 p. 6 x 9 4 halftones 66 Cloth ISBN: 978-0-226-45214-2 $25.00 Your Price: $20.00

Education in a New SocietyRenewing the Sociology of EducationEdited by Jal Mehta and Scott Davies

Education in a New Society is a call to renew the field of the sociology of education, featuring the best and most thoughtful scholars in the field. The editors argue that the field needs to be renewed: specifically, that many of the dominant ideas, concepts, and theories in the sociology of education were created by a few well-known theorists in a highly generative period between 1966 and 1979, and that much of the work since has followed the tracks laid down by these giants.2018 464 p. 6 x 9 9 halftones, 5 tables 67 Paper ISBN: 978-0-226-51742-1 $35.00 Your Price: $28.00
