- Abstract
This article shares insight into the topics published in the December 2003 issue of "Sociological Forum." John Levi Martin and King-To Yeung offer a new way to look at the scholarly treatment of race in "The Use of Conceptual Category of Race in American Sociology, 1937-1999." They document ho race went from a social issue to a demographic control variable over a half-century. In "The Personal Is Scientific, the Scientific Is Political: The Public Paradigm of the Environmental Breast Cancer Movement," Sabrina McCornick, Phil Brown, and Stephen Zavestoski give an account of an important new social movement. Meanwhile, Eric Fong and Rima Wilkes's "Racial and Ethnic Residential Patterns in Canada" is a welcome corrective to the common preoccupation with U.S. patterns. On the other hand, in "Work Histories and Voluntary Association Memberships," Thomas Rotolo and John Wilson question the focus on the time invested in jobs as an obstacle to participation in associations. Finally, in "Organizational Compatibility and Workplace Drug Testing: Modeling the Adoption of Innovative Social Control Practices," the authors suggest that firms face divergent cultures of control both internally and within their industries.
