3 BOOKS

Racist America, Roots, Current Realities, and Future Reparations, Sec- ond Edition. Routledge. By Joe R. Feagin

This second edition of Joe Feagin‟s Racist America is extensively revised and thor- oughly updated, with a special eye toward racism issues cropping up constantly in the Barack Obama era.This tenth anniversary edition incorporates many dozens of new research studies on U.S. racial issues that significantly extend and update the first edition's major chapters. It accents exciting new and provocative concepts, espe- cially the white racial frame and systemic racism.

The White Racial Frame: Centuries of Racial Framing and Counter- Framing, Rowman & Littlefield. By: Joe R. Feagin

In this book Joe R. Feagin extends the systemic racism framework by developing an innovative new concept, the white racial frame. Now four centuries-old, this white racial frame encompasses not only the stereotyping, bigotry, and racist ideology ac- cented in other theories of "race," but also the visual images, array of emotions, sounds of language, interlinking interpretations, and inclinations to discriminate that are still central to the frame‟s everyday operationtion. Deeply imbedded in American minds and institutions, this white racial frame has for centuries functioned as a broad worldview, one essential to the routine legitimation, scripting, and maintenance of systemic racism in the .

Yes We Can? White Racial Framing and the 2008 Presidential Cam- paign. Rowman & Littlefield. By: Adia Harvey Wingfield, and Joe R. Feagin.

This book offers one of the first sociological analyses of Barack Obama‟s historic 2008 campaign for the presidency of the United States. Elaborating on the concept of the white racial frame, Harvey Wingfield and Feagin assess the ways racial fram- ing was deployed by principal characters in the 2008 election. This book counters many commonsense assumptions about race, politics, and society, particularly the idea that Obama‟s election ushered in a post-racial era. Readers will find this book uniquely valuable because it relies on sound sociological analysis to assess numer- ous events and aspects of this historic campaign. 4 CALL FOR PAPERS

Inequality & The Politics of Representation: A Global Landscape

Inequality & The Politics of Representation: A Global Landscape explores how cultures around the globe make social categories of race, class, gender and sexuality meaningful in particular ways. The book will examine power and privilege, as well as oppression and marginalization, as it illustrates how inequalities are constructed, mobilized, and challenged through language and representation. Analyses will take up the “politics of representation” — the cultural strug- gles over how events, processes, institutions, and people are to be understood. As such the col- lection will contribute insights into the production of culture, knowledge, and power.

Inequality & The Politics of Representation: A Global Landscape welcomes all styles of textual analysis and close reading. The collection will be edited by Celine-Marie Pascale, an Associate Professor of Sociology at American University, Washington D.C.

The strongest manuscripts will present complex ideas with clear language. Please avoid jargon and define all specialized terms so that readers unfamiliar with textual analysis will be able to enjoy and appreciate the insights being offered.

All manuscripts should be submitted as Microsoft Word files, double-spaced, and between 25- 30 pages in length, including references. Authors are responsible for securing permissions for all images and excerpts.

Manuscripts are due by December 1, 2010 to .

SREM ELECTION RESULTS

Chair-Elect David Brunsma, University of - Columbia

Secretary/Treasurer Nadia Kim, Loyola Marymount University

Council Members Karyn Lacy, University of Michigan Matthew W. Hughey, Mississippi State University

Graduate Student Representative Layana Navarre-Jackson, University of Iowa 6 Announcements  Jim Loewen invites members of SREM to visit the "sundown towns" page of his website, http://sundown.afro.illinois.edu/sundowntowns.php, for three reasons:

First, see what I already know about towns in your state by going to the interactive map, http:// sundown.afro.illinois.edu/content.php?file=sundowntowns-whitemap.html. It lists towns that have been confirmed or suspected as sundown towns and counties -- places that for decades were all white on purpose. (Some still are.)

Second, read my short article, "How to Confirm Sundown Towns," http:// sundown.afro.illinois.edu/content.php?file=sundowntowns-howto.html. Consider getting your students involved in this quest. Students from middle school through Ph.D. are now undertaking serious research on sundown towns. You can too! Another short article, "Future Research Ar- eas," http://sundown.afro.illinois.edu/content.php?file=sundowntowns-future.html, suggests im- portant sociological issues that can be addressed through research, such as com- paring a sundown town with a nearby similar town that admits blacks as residents. If you or your students do confirm at town as sundown (or not), share results with me for the interactive map.

Third, write a short announcement of your work or a longer article for "Sundown Town News," the e-newsletter. Earlier issues are available at http://sundown.afro.illinois.edu/index.php. Is- sues reach 3,000-4,000 readers by email, including social scientists, policy makers, educators, etc.

Doing sundown town research helps lead to social change. Every sundown town in the U.S. that has not become substantially interracial needs to take three steps to get over this legacy: (1) Ad- mit it. (We did this.) (2) Apologize. (We did this and we're worry.) (3) State "we don't do it any more." (And that final step needs to have teeth -- such as the announcement of affirmative hiring of black teachers, street workers, etc., with assistance helping them live in their new com- munity of employment.) Simply "outing" the town with good research is a first step toward making this happen.

 This is an urgent appeal to all social scientists interested in disability scholarship to join the newly formed Section-in-Formation of the American Sociological Association: Disability in Society. We want to encourage scholars who are interested in the experiences of racial and ethnic minorities to join our Section-in-Formation. Not only are racial and ethnic mi- norities more likely to experience many diseases, illnesses and disabilities than other groups, responses to their situation are often riddled with racism, disability discrimination, and other forms of oppression such as sexism. We are keen to explore the connections be- tween various forms of social inequality and a disabling society and urge you to join with us. This new Section-in-Formation is a great place to network, engage with other scholars, discuss recent events, and pursue avenues for grants, teaching, research and service. The existence of the Disability and Society Section is dependent on our ability to attract at least 300 paying members by September 2010, or we have lost the opportunity to become a sec- tion of ASA. If you would like to advance the continuation of disability scholarship in soci- ology, please join us today. The Disability section is also pleased to be offering FREE membership to graduate students who are current members of ASA who would like to join the section. Please contact Valerie Leiter [email protected] to make those ar- rangements. Please feel free to contact Liat ([email protected]) with any inquir- ies about the section and becoming a member. 7

I hope that in future issues many more of you will contribute by sending me news of your scholarship and service in any and all forms that it takes. Please do not feel hesitant to send in your recent publications!! Remarks gives us all an opportunity to be recognized for the work that we do, but it also provides us all with valuable information about the latest work being done in our area. When we present your publications in Remarks we all benefit, so be sure to send me your citations whenever you publish something new!

Although I will not be able to be at the 2010 annual meeting in Atlanta, I have spoken with the incoming Section Chair David Embrick to let him know that I am happy to continue organizing and producing the SREM newsletter. Hopefully many of you will attend our business meeting this year, and if you have suggestions for the content or form of the newsletter, please let Dr. Embrick know and he can pass along your comments to me. Also, if any of you are interested in contributing a new idea to the newsletter, we would all welcome more exciting and creative content.
