According to critics of globalization, it has ushered in a new era of economic inequality, with some of the biggest “losers” being the majority working classes in advanced capitalist democracies. Economically aggrieved, culturally threatened, and politically excluded, they have become the bedrock of right-wing political parties in much of Europe and the United States. Integral to this phenomenon is the heightened anti-immigrant prejudice espoused by both supporters and leaders of populist movements. The present study investigates a critical issue in this context, one that has been implicitly assumed but relatively understudied: the impact of globalization on xenophobic attitudes among natives. It also examines whether and to what extent globalization moderates the effect of ethnic nationalism on their preferences for restrictive immigration and immigrant assimilation. Findings from multilevel analysis indicate that globalization, as well as the nativist backlash, plays a significant role in directly and indirectly shaping how immigration and immigrants are perceived in host societies.

Building on qualitative interviews with Syrians who participated in the anti-regime movement of 2011 and now live in Berlin and Oslo, the article unpacks the ways that these contexts affected participants’ decision to continue or disrupt their activism in exile. By analyzing their activist trajectories from revolution to exile and drawing on the concept of emotional resonance, I reveal how Berlin and Oslo provided participants with different environments when dealing with their past experiences of participation. I show that while the mobilizing structures of Berlin provided spaces for activism that resonated with the emotional needs of activists, enabling them to continue activism on behalf of Syria, the mobilizing structures of Oslo failed to produce spaces that could respond to activists’ needs, playing a part in their disengagement there. The article extends the concept of emotional resonance and adds to the study of Syrian diasporas and emotions in the Syrian uprising.

Alisa Perkins’ book Muslim American City: Gender and Religion in Metro Detroit (2020) uses critical insights from intimate conversations with Yemeni and Bangladeshi women in Hamtramck, Michigan to resituate debates about Muslim belonging in a multicultural American city. Muslim American City asks, “How have Muslim women engaged civic duties while acting as religious ambassadors and negotiating gender norms across social contexts?” The immigrant women’s narratives responding to this research question reveal that there is no one single story about what it means, or how it feels, to navigate public life as a Muslim American woman. Through a skillful combination of anecdotal and analytical summaries, Perkins draws particular attention to Yemeni and Bangladeshi women’s narratives about embodiment, space and social change to disrupt the dichotomization of democracy, citizenship, and agency into private and public spheres. Chapters 1 and 2 provide a historical overview of race, gender, and religion in Hamtramck—a city that boasts the largest concentration of Muslim residents in America, and the first municipality to have a majority Muslim city council, despite the large Polish Catholic population. As a growing Muslim metropolitan city, Hamtramck is the perfect landscape from which Perkins’ grounded theory of civic purdah emerges. As social actors whose experiences entangle the interpersonal, municipal, and international meanings of politics, Muslim American City is filled with Muslim women’s stories about making a place for themselves in local high schools, city council meetings, markets, and mosques. Through rigorous ethnographic focus on place, civic purdah, or Perkins’ conceptual framework to describe how Yemeni and Bangladeshi Muslim women symbolically interact with unrelated men in the public sphere, is a feminist approach to gendered inequality and faith-based gender segregation. By emphasizing the various ways Muslim women engage their citizenship rights to space— rather than assuming uncritically that Muslim women are excluded from the public sphere—it centers women’s agency, beyond the binary of its relation to men’s consciousness, control, or perception of them. Elaborated in Chapters 3 and 4, Perkins demonstrates clearly how Yemeni and Bangladeshi civic purdah acknowledges women’s power to actively and intentionally participate in debates about gender segregation as knowers and doers, rather than passive receptacle for religious and cultural oppression. This I think is the most significant original contribution of the book. The climax of the book in my opinion is Chapter 6, where Perkins’ analysis of the intersection of sound, time, and space is the most seductive. In this chapter, the author’s critical reading of municipal records, newspaper articles, and interviews allows her to elegantly paint a soundscape of the city in 2004, when the al-Islah Islamic Center in Hamtramck, Michigan, set off a contentious controversy by requesting permissio

In past and contemporary societies, kin presence and support are widely cherished for helping couples contend with parenthood. Thus, it is hypothesized that intergenerational cooperation in raising children influences fertility decisions. Despite the potential benefits of having a supportive family environment, societies with dissimilar social, structural, and geographical conditions may exhibit cross-cultural differences that are characterized by variations in family processes and reproductive outcomes. To demonstrate the influence of context, this study draws on the 2006 and 2016 East Asian Social Survey and uses generalized Poisson regression to investigate cross-national differences in the effect of intergenerational support on fertility in East Asia. The results show distinct patterns in the effect of intergenerational financial support, instrumental support, and geographic proximity on fertility. Financial support and proximity to grandparents are particularly conducive to childbearing among urban families. Instrumental support appears to be more beneficial for societies going through the second phase of the gender revolution (South Korea and Taiwan) than for societies with stronger gender role constraints (Japan). The findings highlight how context underpins the effect of intergenerational support on fertility.

In this article, I explain why pro-labor reforms succeed or fail. Focusing on the cases of Argentina and Chile, I show that labor reforms are more successful in extending trade union rights when unions successfully build associational power and employers are less able to do so. Consistent with this argument, a quantitative analysis of time-series cross-sectional data from 78 countries suggests that the level of class power disparity is negatively correlated with the extension of workers’ collective rights. At the end of the article, I discuss how these results have implications for the study of labor reforms and power resources.

certainly right that corporate America has largely embraced the “cookbook” and the “strange bedfellows and the messy compromises . . . would have been less problematic had unions been stronger, pension funds better funded, and fiduciary rules more flexible” (p. 224). Nonetheless, what I felt was missing from the book was a larger theoretical assessment of what labor’s hand in finance has been. For example, if public pension funds are contributing to private sector downsizing, what has this meant more broadly for intra-class inequality? Surely, this has stoked divisions by sector, region, or race and reshaped the political environment. Equally warranted is some reflection on Brandeis’ hope in shining “sunlight” on corporate behavior. Transparency is important and has been shown to improve worker wages (Rosenfeld and Denice, 2015). But is this liberal goal really sufficient for redistributing power? More pragmatically, would it galvanize workers enough to sustain the risks of an organizing drive? A bigger question remains too regarding the way finance affects class solidarity. It is well known that the anti-Communist Taft–Hartley Act of 1947 made American labor unions less solidaristic, more conservative, and more defensive of their own membership base. I strongly suspect labor’s financial strategy has not helped in this regard. Yet, “finance” does not just refer to rapacious Wall Street firms. Possibilities exist for radically altering finance for the public good and labor specifically (Block, 2019; McCarthy, 2019). It would have been helpful had Jacoby, who has a deep understanding of this topic, ruminated on these historical lessons. To be fair, Jacoby’s background is in history which is less prone to making theoretical pronouncements. His detailed accounting of an important topic opens space to pursue more work on the topic. Sociologists of labor, organizations, and finance interested in these theoretical questions will find the book to be an excellent starting point.

The article provides analyses of the mobility and resilience to mobility among low-wage earners in four Central European (CE) countries. It examines transitions into higher-paid jobs, unemployment/inactivity, and the stability of low-wage status. In addition to standard transition matrices and summary mobility indices, it employs multinomial logit models with the aim of identifying individual determinants of low-wage earners’ prospects. The findings show that the CE countries do not represent a homogeneous group in terms of presence of low wages when the period of 2010–2016 is considered. In regard to future prospects, low-wage employees in the countries with higher incidence of low pay are more likely to reproduce their status, as compared with countries with lower incidence. Upward mobility is more likely among younger, high-educated employees and among those who work in “better” occupations.
