HOME SOCIOLOGY IN THE NEWS AUTHOR'S MESSAGE The Concept of the State A state exists where there is a political apparatus (government institutions) ruling a given territory. All modern states are nation-states. A nation-state refers to a government apparatus that is recognized to have sovereign rights within the borders of a territorial area, able to back its claims to sovereignty by military power, and many of whose citizens feel committed to its national identity. Characteristics of the state Sovereignty-a government possesses authority over an area with clear-cut borders, within which it is the supreme power. Citizenship-most people living within the borders of the political system are citizens. Nationalism-a set of symbols and beliefs providing the sense of being part of a single political community. Citizenship rights include civil rights, political rights, and social rights.

R E THNICITY In 1986, Japanese Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone remarked that the average American intellectual standard is lower than the average Japanese standard because of the blacks and Hispanics in the U.S. He has often said that the source of Japan's strength lies in its "racial homogeneity." Eleven years later, University of Texas Law School Professor Lino Graglia triggered a firestorm of criticism for his remarks that "Blacks and Mexican-Americans are not academically competitive with whites in selective institutions. It is the result primarily of cultural effects. They have a culture that seems not to encourage achievement. Failure is not looked upon with disgrace." It has been said that race is the plague of civilization. In 1977, Andrew Young, at that time the chief U.S. representative to the United Nations, claimed that a race war in South Africa would inevitably precipitate racial conflict in the United States. Some countries, like Great Britain and Australia, eliminate the potential for conflict by simply denying or severely limiting entry. However, American society has always been enriched by its waves of immigrants. John Kennedy observed how Alexis de Tocqueville saw the United States as "a society of immigrants, each of whom had begun life anew, on an equal footing. This was the secret of America: a nation of people with the fresh memory of old traditions who dared to explore new frontiers ..." In 2004, the Census Bureau predicted that in the year 2050 minority groups would comprise one-half of the total American population of 420 million. Hispanics will comprise roughly one-quarter of the population, blacks 15%, and Asians 8%.

What is the level of individual members' commitment to them? When community membership is pivoted on subscribing or unsubscribing to a newsgroup or bulletin board, is the form of interaction different because people can opt out of virtual community with little consequence? B . What do we mean by community and by extension what do we mean by community as structured by new technologies?. Is community sited in conversation and interaction? and if this is so what are the results for our longterm conceptions of community whether conversation and interaction occurs in face-to-face settings, by email or through the world wide web? C. Does the Net increase community diversity? D Are online communities "real" communities? E . If a specific category of people, for example, human rights activists use the Internet to communicate their message and ideas, how may they be said to act in some sense collectively to impart ideas, disseminate on areas of mutual concern and achieve structured goals? Human Rights Activism and Online Communities The filigrees of growth of online communities has opened a vista of communication for those concerned with Human and Civil Rights Issues.

Kenneth Andrews Department of Sociology University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill I am currently an Assistant Professor of Sociology. I received my PhD from SUNY-Stony Brook in 1997 and my BS from Millsaps College in 1990. My research examines the role and influence of social movements. I have recently completed a book that will be published this spring – Freedom is a Constant Struggle: The Mississippi Civil Rights Movement and Its Legacy – that examines the influence of the civil rights movement on electoral politics, school desegregation, and social policies. My current research examines the growth and influence of contemporary social movements including the environmental movement in North Carolina. This webpage includes information about my research projects and teaching. During the 2003-4 year, I am a Visiting Scholar at the Russell Sage Foundation. I can be reached at kta@unc.edu Research Overview My past and current research projects pursue a common set of questions concerning the organizational dimensions of social movements and the impacts of social movements on political and social change. These projects have employed a wide range of methodological and analytic strategies including in-depth interviews, qualitative archival research, organizational interviews and surveys, event data for collective action, and quantitative analysis of historical data. Through this research I have tried to understand the conditions under which movements have (and do not have) enduring influences on patterns of individual behavior and institutional change.

CIVIL RIGHTS NOW Summer 2002 Volume 1, Issue 5 Editor: Mr. David Healey Assisting the editor: Ms. Candice Leuthold "...using the American Civil Rights Movement as living history to promote a better understanding of individual responsibility, race relations, social change and minority achievement." John Charles Bryant Makes His Case Mr. John Charles Bryant is seen here demonstrating how the Civil Rights Heritage Center’s new display cases will be used. These cases represent the accomplishment of one of the Center’s first priorities – establishing a venue in which local and national civil rights history can be properly displayed. As the purpose of the cabinets will be to display local and national civil rights history, the Heritage Center is currently in the process of formulating plans for future exhibits. These exhibits will be located on the 3rd floor of the Wiekamp building, outside of the Civil Rights Heritage Center offices, rooms 3201 and 3205. Fortunately for the Heritage Center, Mr. John Charles Bryant has volunteered to assist in preparing the first display case, which will be on local African American history. We at the Civil Rights Heritage Center wish to thank John Charles for his tireless support of the organization; he has generously given of his time and sage advice. John Charles has worked diligently within South Bend’s African American community to support and promote the work of the Heritage Center. As a result, the response from the African American community has been very positive, not only in providing interviews on local civil rights history, but also donating documents and photographs to the Heritage Center’s Oral History Project.

The growing number of Latinos and Asians has rendered the old black-and-white binary obsolete. And yet, political pundits and commentators on both the left and the right continue to overlook the changing face of discrimination and opportunity in today's new multiethnic, multiracial America. With Color Lines, John David Skrentny brings us a collection of essays that reexamines the role of affirmative action and civil rights in light of this important shift in American demographics. The book explores issues of public policy, equal opportunity, diversity, multiculturalism, pathways to better work and higher learning, and attempts in countries outside the United States to protect minority civil rights. Combining perspectives from specialists in fields as diverse as sociology, history, political science, and law, Color Lines is a balanced and broad-ranging guide for anyone interested in civil rights policy and the future of ethnic relations in America.

Sociology 290: Race, Politics, and Society Paul Frymer Fall, 2001, M 11-2 469 SSB, 534-5589 OH: W 10-12 pfrymer@ucsd.edu This course examines the ways in which race is constructed and impacted by political institutions, as well as the ways that the design and functioning of American institutions and policies have been impacted by racial conflict. As a result, this course focuses on readings that take race to be socially, politically, and historically constructed. A constant tension, which will be dealt with throughout the course is the role of agency. To what degree do institutions constrain individual agency, and can we say more about this than the famous Marx adage: “men make their own history, but not as they choose.” The course is not designed as a survey course, and instead I wrote the syllabus in conjunction with Sociology 244. While some of the readings for that course serve as a bit of a launching point for the current class, the focus of this course is on how political institutions impact the ways in which we understand race in America However, Soc. 244 is not a prerequisite to this course, so students with no background on race are welcome to take this course; moreover, students who took that class will find much new ground covered here.

CIVIL RIGHTS IN AMERICA 1954-PRESENT SOCIOLOGY Teacher: Carole Barrett 255-7500 ext 337 Office: Benedictine Center, PC13 Office hours: Monday through Friday 3-4 P.M. COURSE DESCRIPTION Civil Rights in America, 1954-Present will examine the people, stories, events and issues of the civil rights struggle in America. It will focus in large part, though not exclusively, on the African American experience. The period of the modern civil right movement is one of the most significant in our history and continues to challenge us individually and collectively. It made America a more democratic society, gave rise to a host of other movements which transformed the face of American culture, changed those who participated in it, and influenced and created a new generation of American leadership. Civil Rights in America will be run in a seminar format. That means: there will be discussion of issues and that will be the primary way of transmitting knowledge and learning; all students are expected to contribute significantly to this discussion on a daily basis; there will be daily reading assignments that must be completed prior to class;
