Pages are clean and bright. xiii/313 pages. ""Party in the Street" explores the interaction between political parties and social movements in the United States. Examining the collapse of the post-9/11 antiwar movement against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, this book focuses on activism and protest in the United States. It argues that the electoral success of the Democratic Party and President Barack Obama, as well as antipathy toward President George W. Bush, played a greater role in this collapse than did changes in foreign policy. It shows that how people identify with social movements and political parties matters a great deal, and it considers the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street as comparison cases.".…

Paperback. Zustand: New. Theory for the Working Sociologist makes social theory easy to understand by revealing sociology's hidden playbook. Fabio Rojas argues that sociologists use four different theoretical "moves" when they try to explain the social world: how groups defend their status, how people strategically pursue their goals, how values and institutions support each other, and how people create their social reality. Rojas uses famous sociological studies to illustrate these four types of theory and show how students and researchers may apply them to their interests. The guiding light of the book is the concept of the "social mechanism," which clearly and succinctly links causes and effects in social life. Drawing on dozens of empirical studies that define modern sociology and focusing on the nuts and bolts of social explanation, Rojas reveals how areas of study within the field of sociology that at first glance seem dissimilar are, in fact, linked by shared theoretical underpinnings. In doing so, he elucidates classical and contemporary theory, and connects both to essential sociological findings made throughout the history of the field.Aimed at undergraduate students, graduate students, journalists, and interested general readers who want a more formal way to understand social life, Theory for the Working Sociologist presents the underlying themes of sociological thought using contemporary research and plain language.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. The black power movement helped redefine African Americans' identity and establish a new racial consciousness in the 1960s. As an influential political force, this movement in turn spawned the academic discipline known as Black Studies. Today there are more than a hundred Black Studies degree programs in the United States, many of them located in America's elite research institutions. In From Black Power to Black Studies, Fabio Rojas explores how this radical social movement evolved into a recognized academic discipline. Rojas traces the evolution of Black Studies over more than three decades, beginning with its origins in black nationalist politics. His account includes the 1968 Third World Strike at San Francisco State College, the Ford Foundation's attempts to shape the field, and a description of Black Studies programs at various American universities. His statistical analyses of protest data illuminate how violent and nonviolent protests influenced the establishment of Black Studies programs. Integrating personal interviews and newly discovered archival material, Rojas documents how social activism can bring about organizational change.Shedding light on the black power movement, Black Studies programs, and American higher education, this historical analysis reveals how radical politics are assimilated into the university system.…

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Scholars and journalists focus on money and power when they talk about contemporary art. Two Visions of the Art World: Competition, Community, and Creative Work provokes an argument with the dominant art world narrative that focuses on extreme competition. From this perspective, artists are trapped in the world of exclusive galleries, snobby museums, and the art market's relentless pressures. This book offers an alternative perspective: dual layer theory.Rojas and de la Torre argue that the contemporary art world is better understood as a community defined by two "layers" one focused on competition, and another emphasizing collaboration and communitybuilding.The competitive layer of the art world is organized around highly selective art schools, galleries that award scarce artworks to the "right" collectors, and museums that anoint artists as being among the best of their era. The communal layer of the art world is organized around non-profit spaces, anti-hierarchical social practices, and alternative art schools. Based on over 120 interviews with artists, dealers, collectors, teachers, and museum curators, TwoVisions of the Art World explains in vivid detail how artists and their allies move between the two layers of the art world and helps readers understand that the world of arts combines community andcompetition.
