In this title, Robert Wuthnow finds that those who are most involved in acts of compassion are no less individualistic than anyone else - and that those who are the most intensely individualistic are no less involved in caring for others.

Have the poor fared best by participating in conventional electoral politics or by engaging in mass defiance and disruption? The authors of the classic Regulating The Poor assess the successes and failures of these two strategies as they examine, in this provocative study, four protest movements of lower-class groups in 20th century America:
-- The mobilization of the unemployed during the Great Depression that gave rise to the Workers' Alliance of America
-- The industrial strikes that resulted in the formation of the CIO
-- The Southern Civil Rights Movement
-- The movement of welfare recipients led by the National Welfare Rights Organization.

First published in 1956, The Power Elite stands as a contemporary classic of social science and social criticism. C. Wright Mills examines and critiques the organization of power in the United States, calling attention to three firmly interlocked prongs of power: the military, corporate, and political elite. The Power Elite can be read as a good account of what was taking place in America at the time it was written, but its underlying question of whether America is as democratic in practice as it is in theory continues to matter very much today. What The Power Elite informed readers of in 1956 was how much the organization of power in America had changed during their lifetimes, and Alan Wolfe's astute afterword to this new edition brings us up to date, illustrating how much more has changed since then. Wolfe sorts out what is helpful in Mills book and which of his predictions have not come to bear, laying out the radical changes in American capitalism, from intense global competition and the collapse of communism to rapid technological transformations and ever changing consumer tastes. The Power Elite has stimulated generations of readers to think about the kind of society they have and the kind of society they might want, and deserves to be read by every new generation.

Over the past quarter century, researchers have successfully explored the inner workings of the physical and biological sciences using a variety of social and historical lenses. Inspired by these advances, the contributors to Social Knowledge in the Making turn their attention to the social sciences, broadly construed. The result is the first comprehensive effort to study and understand the day-to-day activities involved in the creation of social-scientific and related forms of knowledge about the social world.
The essays collected here tackle a range of previously unexplored questions about the practices involved in the production, assessment, and use of diverse forms of social knowledge. A stellar cast of multidisciplinary scholars addresses topics such as the changing practices of historical research, anthropological data collection, library usage, peer review, and institutional review boards. Turning to the world beyond the academy, other essays focus on global banks, survey research organizations, and national security and economic policy makers. Social Knowledge in the Making is a landmark volume for a new field of inquiry, and the bold new research agenda it proposes will be welcomed in the social science, the humanities, and a broad range of nonacademic settings.

American universities today serve as economic engines, performing the scientific research that will create new industries, drive economic growth, and keep the United States globally competitive. But only a few decades ago, these same universities self-consciously held themselves apart from the world of commerce. "Creating the Market University" is the first book to systematically examine why academic science made such a dramatic move toward the market. Drawing on extensive historical research, Elizabeth Popp Berman shows how the government - influenced by the argument that innovation drives the economy - brought about this transformation. Americans have a long tradition of making heroes out of their inventors. But before the 1960s and '70s neither policymakers nor economists paid much attention to the critical economic role played by innovation. However, during the late 1970s, a confluence of events - industry concern with the perceived deterioration of innovation in the United States, a growing body of economic research on innovation's importance, and the stagnation of the larger economy - led to a broad political interest in fostering invention. The policy decisions shaped by this change were diverse, influencing arenas from patents and taxes to pensions and science policy, and encouraged practices that would focus specifically on the economic value of academic science. By the early 1980s, universities were nurturing the rapid growth of areas such as biotech entrepreneurship, patenting, and university-industry research centers. Contributing to debates about the relationship between universities, government, and industry, "Creating the Market University" sheds light on how knowledge and politics intersect to structure the economy.

In "The System of Professions" Andrew Abbott explores central questions about the role of professions in modern life: Why should there be occupational groups controlling expert knowledge? Where and why did groups such as law and medicine achieve their power? Will professionalism spread throughout the occupational world? While most inquiries in this field study one profession at a time, Abbott here considers the system of professions as a whole. Through comparative and historical study of the professions in nineteenth- and twentieth-century England, France, and America, Abbott builds a general theory of how and why professionals evolve.

19世纪的意大利曾有这样一则传说：小提琴大师帕格尼尼把自己的灵魂交给魔鬼，由此换得出神入化的演奏技艺。你是否也曾好奇，马友友怎样成功书写他的传奇；朗朗又如何横空出世？本书虽以小提琴界为研究主体，却意在展现整个西方古典乐界打造精英演奏家的模式： 野心勃勃的家长自作主张，引 领孩子走上一条前途未卜的人生道路。他们与老师合作，力图让年幼的孩子克服爱玩天性，苦练乐器。老师带给学生的不只有乐理和演奏技巧，更包括独奏界的处事规则和人脉资源。他们甚至亲自为学生参加比赛、获得演出机会打通关系。指挥、经纪人、小提琴制作师……一个又一个角色在独奏教育中逐渐登场。然而，所有人都小心翼翼地维护着家长和学生时而脆弱、时而炽热的梦想；尽管他们都清楚，绝大多数学生无法走通这条独奏之路。
在近二十年日复一日的高强度乐器训练中，独奏学生不仅需经历自我怀疑和彷徨，更要苦苦寻觅进入古典乐市场的契机——师从一位独奏大师、赢得一场重大比赛，或是一把稀世小提琴…… 没错，他们的成功亦有模式，远非天赋异禀和精通演奏那么简单。
名家推荐：
一流的民族志观察、扎实的社会学分析和一段段引人入胜的故事共同组成了这本书。它向我们讲述了一个复杂、且有些残酷的世界——小提琴表演界；而这与我们从报纸上读到的截然不同。此书没有像如今大量存在的那些社会学著作一样，陷入无止境的文献引用和理论堆砌之中。作者运用另一种方式，将理论分析与事例恰到好处地结合起来。我从书中得知，原来乐器修理师、收藏家、音响师以及资助者都是漫长、曲折的独奏之路上必不可少的力量。只有堪称非凡的田野投入才能带给我们如此丰富、完整的信息。

这本书显然是迄今为止对于古典音乐表演家们最杰出的研究。如此深度的民族志考察和研究模式，短时间内难有其他学者能望其项背。如果说E.C.休斯（E.C. Hughes）和霍华德•贝克开启了对职业社会化过程予以民族志研究的传统，那么本书作者为该传统做出了重要的贡献和复兴。我相信，此书将吸引类型广泛的读者：那些研究艺术社会学、艺术经济、音乐表演和音乐史等领域的学者自不必说，还包括古典乐从业者——他们将从作者的叙述中看到自己的成长轨迹，以及渴望把孩子送上音乐道路的家长和老师们。

In this pathbreaking work, Elisabeth S. Clemens recovers the social origins of interest group politics in the United States. Between 1890 and 1925, a system centered on elections and party organizations was partially transformed by increasingly prominent legislative and administrative policy-making as well as the insistent participation of non-partisan organizations.
Clemens sheds new light on how farmers, workers, and women invented strategies to circumvent the parties. Voters learned to monitor legislative processes, to hold their representatives accountable at the polls, and to institutionalize their ongoing participation in shaping policy. Closely analyzing the organizational politics in three states—California, Washington, and Wisconsin—she demonstrates how the political opportunity structure of federalism allowed regional innovations to exert leverage on national political institutions.
An authoritative statement on the changes in American politics during the Progressive Era, this book will interest political scientists, sociologists, and American historians.

Everyday life in China is increasingly shaped by a novel mix of neoliberal and socialist elements, of individual choices and state objectives. This combination of self-determination and socialism from afar has incited profound changes in the ways individuals think and act in different spheres of society. Covering a vast range of daily life-from homeowner organizations and the users of Internet cafés to self-directed professionals and informed consumers-the essays in Privatizing China create a compelling picture of the burgeoning awareness of self-governing within the postsocialist context. The introduction by Aihwa Ong and Li Zhang presents assemblage as a concept for studying China as a unique postsocialist society created through interactions with global forms. The authors conduct their ethnographic fieldwork in a spectrum of domains-family, community, real estate, business, taxation, politics, labor, health, professions, religion, and consumption-that are infiltrated by new techniques of the self and yet also regulated by broader socialist norms. Privatizing China gives readers a grounded, fine-grained intimacy with the variety and complexity of everyday conduct in China's turbulent transformation.

没有女人天生是母亲
洞幽察微的生育记录，道出女人的焦虑与煎熬
感谢时代，生育终于也和婚姻一样成为了可讨论的问题
怀孕生子不仅区分了男人和女人，也区分了女人和女人。怀孕生产后，女人对于存在的意义的理解发生了巨变。她体内存在另一个人，孩子出生后便受她的意识所管辖。孩子在身边时，她做不了自己；孩子不在时她也做不了自己。人类的每一位成员都会经历从出生到独立这一异常艰辛的过程，而这一过程必须征用某个女人的一段生命。
《成为母亲》忠实地呈现了这段生命。它是一种寻常生活从不可见、不可感，向激烈的热情、爱与奴役转变的过程，它还是一种束缚，一种妥协。
身为女人，成为母亲是什么感受？照顾一个幼小的婴儿又是什么感觉？而当孩子长大，有了自己的意识，母亲又作何感想？英国作家蕾切尔·卡斯克记下了自己那一年包含多重面向的的经历：个人自由、睡眠和时间的终结，对人性和艰苦工作的重新认识，追寻爱的真谛，游走在疯狂和死亡之间，对婴幼儿的情感体验，对母乳喂养的思考……

This book is an introductory textbook on sexual politics and an original contribution to the reformulation of social and political theory. In a discussion of, among other issues, psychoanalysis, Marxism and feminist theories, the structure of gender relations, and working class feminism, the author has produced a work of synthesis and scholarship which should be of interest to students and professionals in sociology, politics, women's studies and to anyone interested in the field of sexual politics.

Often dismissed as the rumblings of "the street," popular politics is where political modernity is being formed today, according to Partha Chatterjee. The rise of mass politics all over the world in the twentieth century led to the development of new techniques of governing population groups. On the one hand, the idea of popular sovereignty has gained wide acceptance. On the other hand, the proliferation of security and welfare technologies has created modern governmental bodies that administer populations, but do not provide citizens with an arena for democratic deliberation. Under these conditions, democracy is no longer government of, by, and for the people. Rather, it has become a world of power whose startling dimensions and unwritten rules of engagement Chatterjee provocatively lays bare. This book argues that the rise of ethnic or identity politics-particularly in the postcolonial world-is a consequence of new techniques of governmental administration. Using contemporary examples from India, the book examines the different forms taken by the politics of the governed.
Many of these operate outside of the traditionally defined arena of civil society and the formal legal institutions of the state. This book considers the global conditions within which such local forms of popular politics have appeared and shows us how both community and global society have been transformed. Chatterjee's analysis explores the strategic as well as the ethical dimensions of the new democratic politics of rights, claims, and entitlements of population groups and permits a new understanding of the dynamics of world politics both before and after the events of September 11, 2001. The Politics of the Governed consists of three essays, originally given as the Leonard Hastings Schoff Lectures at Columbia University in November 2001, and four additional essays that complement and extend the analyses presented there. By combining these essays between the covers of a single volume, Chatterjee has given us a major and urgent work that provides a full perspective on the possibilities and limits of democracy in the postcolonial world.

How does God become and remain real for modern evangelicals? How are rational, sensible people of faith able to experience the presence of a powerful yet invisible being and sustain that belief in an environment of overwhelming skepticism? T. M. Luhrmann, an anthropologist trained in psychology and the acclaimed author of Of Two Minds, explores the extraordinary process that leads some believers to a place where God is profoundly real and his voice can be heard amid the clutter of everyday thoughts.
While attending services and various small group meetings at her local branch of the Vineyard, an evangelical church with hundreds of congregations across the country, Luhrmann sought to understand how some members were able to communicate with God, not just through one-sided prayers but with discernable feedback. Some saw visions, while others claimed to hear the voice of God himself. For these congregants and many other Christians, God was intensely alive. After holding a series of honest, personal interviews with Vineyard members who claimed to have had isolated or ongoing supernatural experiences with God, Luhrmann hypothesized that the practice of prayer could train a person to hear God’s voice—to use one’s mind differently and focus on God’s voice until it became clear. A subsequent experiment conducted between people who were and weren’t practiced in prayer further illuminated her conclusion. For those who have trained themselves to concentrate on their inner experiences, God is experienced in the brain as an actual social relationship: his voice was identified, and that identification was trusted and regarded as real and interactive.
Astute, deeply intelligent, and sensitive, When God Talks Back is a remarkable approach to the intersection of religion, psychology, and science, and the effect it has on the daily practices of the faithful.

In this incisive book, Michel de Certeau considers the uses to which social representation and modes of social behavior are put by individuals and groups, describing the tactics available to the common man for reclaiming his own autonomy from the all-pervasive forces of commerce, politics, and culture. In exploring the public meaning of ingeniously defended private meanings, de Certeau draws brilliantly on an immense theoretical literature to speak of an apposite use of imaginative literature.

作为20世纪最重要的人类学家之一，马林诺夫斯基生前的日记在1967年出版后，引发了持续近二十年的争议：这位德高望重的开山祖师式人物在巴布亚新几内亚和特罗布里恩岛考察期间，所记日记与他在严肃著作中对于当地人的态度相去甚远、充满矛盾。在日记中，随处可见他对当地人的鄙夷和痛恨（甚至有种族歧视的嫌疑），而且他还不断怀疑自己和工作的意义，并饱受情感、健康的困扰。
本书主要有两部分组成，分别是马林诺夫斯基在1914-1915年间和1917-1918年间的两本日记。在日记中，他记录了自己在田野调查中的各种经历，作为一本从未打算发表的私人日记，他的记录简单明了，是一份珍贵的历史记录，从中我们可以窥到新几内亚土著在当时的实际生活状况、以及马林诺夫斯基作为普通人较为阴暗的一面和他对于个人人生、事业和感情的思考。
现在，这本日记已经被广泛用作《西太平洋上的航海者》的伴侣读物，因为它不仅让读者看到了一个人类学家在实际调查工作中的困惑与坚持，更将人类学家中的“人”回归到了其原原本本的含义，将人生的这种困惑与坚持扩大到了让每个普通人都能心有戚戚焉的层面上。

Drawing on remarkably frank, in-depth interviews with 160 successful men in the United States and France, Michè le Lamont provides a rare and revealing collective portrait of the upper-middle class--the managers, professionals, entrepreneurs, and experts at the center of power in society. Her book is a subtle, textured description of how these men define the values and attitudes they consider essential in separating themselves--and their class--from everyone else. "Money, Morals, and Manners" is an ambitious and sophisticated attempt to illuminate the nature of social class in modern society. For all those who downplay the importance of unequal social groups, it will be a revelation.

Contains essays by Foucault-scholars and Foucault himself. It concentrates on Foucault's later works, where there is a shift of focus from the power/knowledge axis to the axis of ethics. This collection of should be of interest to anyone who are interested in Foucault's work on ethics and subjectivity.

Fleeing the murderous Pol Pot regime, Cambodian refugees arrive in America as at once the victims and the heroes of America's misadventures in Southeast Asia; and their encounters with American citizenship are contradictory as well. Service providers, bureaucrats, and employers exhort them to be self-reliant, individualistic, and free, even as the system and the culture constrain them within terms of ethnicity, race, and class. "Buddha Is Hiding" tells the story of Cambodian Americans experiencing American citizenship from the bottom-up. Based on extensive fieldwork in Oakland and San Francisco, the study puts a human face on how American institutions - of health, welfare, law, police, church, and industry - affect minority citizens as they negotiate American culture and re-interpret the American dream. In her earlier book, "Flexible Citizenship", anthropologist Aihwa Ong wrote of elite Asians shuttling across the Pacific. This parallel study tells the very different story of 'the other Asians' whose route takes them from refugee camps to California's inner-city and high-tech enclaves. In "Buddha Is Hiding" we see these refugees becoming new citizen-subjects through a dual process of being-made and self-making, balancing religious salvation and entrepreneurial values as they endure and undermine, absorb and deflect conflicting lessons about welfare, work, medicine, gender, parenting, and mass culture. Trying to hold on to the values of family and home culture, Cambodian Americans nonetheless often feel that 'Buddha is hiding'. Tracing the entangled paths of poor and rich Asians in the American nation, Ong raises new questions about the form and meaning of citizenship in an era of globalization.
