It may takes up to minutes before you received it. But not for the reasons you would expect. As Christopher H. Achen and Larry M. However, it will interest you even more if you are a student of sociology or politics, or if you are interested in the nature of the current American society. Arlie Russell Hochschild is an American sociologist and academic. A Professor Emerita of sociology at the University of California, Berkeley, she has spent decades studying the links between human emotions and moral beliefs as well as private troubles and social issues.
After Mississippi, Louisiana is the second-poorest state in the Union. It is also the one which relies more heavily on federal funding than any other state barring the only one poorer than it. And that is merely one aspect of the Great Paradox Hochschild discovered while interviewing numerous Louisiana supporters of the conservative Tea Party movement within the Republican Party:.
Across the country, red states are poorer and have more teen mothers, more divorce, worse health, more obesity, more trauma-related deaths, more low-birth-weight babies, and lower school enrollment. Irresponsible practices by a drilling company called Texas Brine led to a sinkhole swallowing much of Bayou Corne.
Nearly everyone she meets regularly attends church and watches Fox News. Hochschild sees that, in Louisiana, churches perform many of the functions that the public sector fills in blue states, but in the face of hardship they often emphasize endurance and faith over action. Conversely, Louisianans seldom read or watch media that covers environmental pollution, which might contribute to their general silence on the issue. Because social institutions in Louisiana contribute to a culture of inaction about pollution, Hochschild concludes, citizens have little to gain by thinking or talking about it.
Tea Party voters feel that affirmative action and welfare programs violate a basic principle of fairness. As a result, many on the right look up to the ultra-rich as role models. First, she explores the Team Loyalist, exemplified by staunch Republican Janice Areno , who has dedicated her life to supporting her extended family and defends her Party at any cost—including the cost of pollution, which she thinks is worth the economic benefits of oil and petrochemicals.
Then, Hochschild looks at the Worshipper, exemplified by Jackie Tabor , who grew up in a poor and abusive family but learned to survive after realizing that she would get what she deserved by renouncing her desires and letting God take over. In adulthood, she has decided to subordinate her wishes to those of her husband, which she believes is necessary in a proper Christian marriage.
Finally, Hochschild looks at a recurring dinner party debate between local marine biologist Mike Tritico and his lifelong friend Donny McCorquodale , who is a Cowboy: Donny always chose dangerous jobs and sees a willingness to endure risk as the sign of honor. Garadner Bovingdon's thoughtful discussion and comprehensive coverage make this must reading for anyone interested in contemporary China.
Perdue, Yale University, author of China Marches West: The Qing Conquest of Central Eurasia "The Uyghurs is a depth cast study of the failure of the Chinese government to integrate the Uyghurs, one of China's fifty-six nationalities, into the so-called great family of the nation.
The book offers a unique perspective to understand the difficult and on-going process of Chinese nation-state building efforts. It is a must read for anyone who is interested in China's nationality issues and the rise of ethnic nationalism in the post-Cold War world. Though he focuses on political questions, Bovingdon displays a humanist's concern for his subjects as individuals and eschews social science jargon for elegantly turned phrases that crystallize the issues in a memorable way.
Yet the Chinese government has consistently resisted theses efforts, countering with repression and a sophisticated strategy of state-sanctioned propaganda that emphasizes interethnic harmony and Chinese nationalism.
After decades of struggle, Uyghurs remain passionate about establishing and expanding their power within government, and China's leaders continue to push back, refusing to concede any physical or political ground.
Beginning with the history of Xinjiang and its unique population of Chinese Muslims, Gardner Bovingdon follows fifty years of Uyghur discontent, particularly the development of individual and collective acts of resistance since , as well as the role of various transnational organizations in cultivating dissent.
