The Headscarf Debates
Conflicts of National BelongingANNA C. KORTEWEG ANDGKE YURDAKUL
All countries promote national nar-ratives that turn historical diversitiesinto imagined commonalities, ap-pealing to shared language, religion,history, or political practice. TeHeadscar Debatesexplores how theheadscar has become a symbol usedto reaffirm or transorm these stories
o belonging. Anna Korteweg andGke Yurdakul ocus on France, Ger-many, and the Netherlandscountrieswith significant Muslim-immigrantpopulationsand urkey, a secularMuslim state with a persistent legacyo cultural ambivalence. Te authorsdiscuss recent cultural and politicalevents and the debates they engender,enlivening the issues with interviewswith social activists, and recreating theervor which erupts near the core o
each national identity when threats areperceived and changes are proposed.
Te authors pay unique attentionto how Muslim women speak orthemselves, how their actions andstatements reverberate throughoutnational debates. Tis on-the-groundapproach empowers an understand-ing o the headscar s role in theproduction o the stories we tell aboutourselves, particularly with respect toour national views on gender, religion,and political value.

JONATHAN XAVIER INDA
In the United States, immigration isgenerally seen as a law and order issue.Amidst increasing anti-immigrantsentiment, unauthorized migrantshave been cast as lawbreakers. Govern-ing Immigration Trough Crimeoffersa comprehensive and accessible
introduction to the use o crime andpunishment to manage undocu-mented immigrants.
Presenting key readings andcutting-edge scholarship, this volumeexamines a range o contemporarycriminalizing practices: restrictiveimmigration laws, enhanced borderpolicing, workplace audits, detentionand deportation, and increased polic-ing o immigration at the state and
local level. O equal importance, thereadings highlight how migrants havemanaged to actively resist these puni-tive practices. In bringing togethercritical theorists o immigration tounderstand how the current politicallandscape propagates the view o the
illegal alien as a threat to social order,this text encourages students andgeneral readers alike to think seriouslyabout the place o undocumentedimmigrants in American society.

IMMIGRATION AND TRANSNATIONAL PERSPECTIVES4
Moving Matters
Paths of Serial MigrationSUSAN OSSMAN
Moving Mattersis a richly nuancedportrait o the serial migrant: a personwho has lived in several countries,calling each one at some point home.Te stories told here are both extraordi-nary and increasingly common. Serialmigrants rarely travel reelythey mustnegotiate a world o territorial bordersand legal restrictionsyet as they move
rom one country to another, they canuse border-crossings as moments osel-clarification. Tey ofen becomemasters o settlement as they turn eachcountry into a lie chapter.
Susan Ossman ollows this diverse andgrowing population not only to under-stand how paths o serial movementproduce certain ways o lie, but also toilluminate an ongoing tension betweenglobal fluidity and the power o nation-
states. Ultimately, her lyrical reflectionon migration and social diversity offersan illustration o how taking mobilityas a starting point undamentally altersour understanding o subjectivity,politics, and social lie.

The Last Best Place?
Gender, Family, and Migration inthe New West
LEAH SCHMALZBAUER
Southwest Montana is beautiul coun-try, evoking mythologies o reedomand escape long associated with theWest. Partly because o its burgeoningpresence in popular culture, film, andliterature, including William Kit-tredges anthology Te Last Best Place,the scarcely populated region has
witnessed an influx o wealthy, whitemigrants over the last ew decades.But another, largely invisible andunstudied type o migration is alsopresent. Tough Mexican migrantshave worked on Montanas ranchesand arms since the s, increasingnumbers o migrant amiliesbothdocumented and undocumentedaremoving to the area to support its grow-ing construction and service sectors.
Te Last Best Place?asks us to considerthe multiple racial and class-relatedbarriers that Mexican migrants mustnegotiate in the unique context oMontanas rural gentrification. Tesedaily lie struggles and inter-grouppower dynamics are defly examinedthrough extensive interviews andethnography, as are the ways genderstructures inequalities within migrantamilies and communities.

The Scramble for Citizens
Dual Nationality and StateCompetition for Immigrants
DAVID COOK-MARTN
It is commonly assumed that there isan enduring link between individualsand their countries o citizenship. Plu-ral citizenship is thereore viewed withskepticism, i not outright suspicion.But the effects o widespread globalmigration belie common assumptions,and the connection between individu-
als and the countries in which they livecannot always be so easily mapped.
In Te Scramble or Citizens, DavidCook-Martn analyzes immigrationand nationality laws in Argentina, Italy,and Spain since the mid-nineteenthcentury to reveal the contextualdynamics that have shaped the qualityo legal and affective bonds betweennation-states and citizens. He showshow the recent erosion o rights and
privileges in Argentina has motivatedindividuals to seek nationality inancestral homelands, thinking twonationalities would be more valuablethan one. Tis book details the legaland administrative mechanisms atwork, describes the patterns o law andpractice, and explores the implicationsor how we understand the verymeaning o citizenship

Vietnamese immigrants in the UnitedStates and their poor, non-migrantamily members give, receive, andspend money.

rial standards o living? While we mayall want to live the good lie, we differwidely on just what that entails. In TeGood Lie, Edward Fischer examineswellbeing by exploring very differentcultural contexts in an attempt to teaseout universal notions o the good lieand how best to achieve it.
Drawing rom his research in bothGuatemala and Germany, this book is arichly layered attempt to better under-
stand the key elements o the good lie,which include aspiration, opportunity,dignity, and purpose.

Faith as an Option
Possible Futures for ChristianityHANS JOAS
Many people these days regardreligion as outdated and are unable tounderstand how believers can intellec-tually justiy their aith. Nonbelievershave long assumed that progressin technology and the sciencesrenders religion irrelevant. Believers,in contrast, see religion as vital tosocietys spiritual and moral well-
being. But does modernization leadto secularization? Does secularizationlead to moral decay? Sociologist HansJoas argues that these two supposedcertainties have kept scholars romserious contemporary debate and thatpeople must put these old argumentsaside in order or debate to moveorward. Te emergence o a secularoption does not mean that religionmust decline, but that even believersmust now define their aith as one
option among many.
In this book, Joas spells out some othe consequences o the abandonmento conventional assumptions orcontemporary religion and developsan alternative to the clich o aninevitable conflict between Christian-ity and modernity.

Blinded by Sight
Seeing Race Trough the Eyesof the Blind
OSAGIE K. OBASOGIE
How do blind people understand race?o many, the answer seems obvious:they dont. Tis has led to the emer-gence o colorblindness that law andpublic policy can replicate the blindcommunitys apparent racial harmonyby not seeing or acknowledging race.Tis has radically reshaped post-civil
rights race discussions.
Te findings in Blinded by Sightarestartling: blind people understandrace visuallyand it shapes their ev-eryday lives just like anyone else. Bydebunking this illusory racial utopia,Obasogie provides a new vision orlaw and society.
Blinded by Sightis a completely resh,eye-opening perspective on the socialconstruction o race. By showing that
blind people understand race visually,Obasogie illuminates how everyonelearns to see race, powerully debunk-ing two dominant racial dogmasthatrace is visually obvious and our lawsshould be colorblind. His ascinatingstudy and path breaking analysis makean innovative contribution.

The Ethnic Project
ransforming Racial Fiction intoEthnic Factions
VILNA BASHI TREITLER
Race is a known fiction yet the socialstigma o race endures. In the UnitedStates, ethnicity is ofen positionedas a counterweight to race, and wecelebrate our various hyphenated-American identities. But Vilna Bashireitler argues that we do so at a highcost: ethnic thinking simply perpetu-
ates an underlying racism.
In Te Ethnic Project, Bashi reitlerconsiders the ethnic history o theUnited States rom the arrival o theEnglish in North America through tothe present day. racing the historieso immigrant and indigenous groupsshe shows how each negotiatesAmericas racial hierarchy, aiming todistance themselves rom the bottomand align with the groups already at
the top. But in pursuing these ethnicprojects these groups implicitly ac-cept and perpetuate a racial hierarchy,shoring up rather than dismantlingrace and racism. Ultimately, Bashireitler shows how dangerous ethnicthinking can be in a society that hasnot let go o racial thinking.

Barack Obama and the Meaning ofRace in America
MICHAEL P. JEFFRIES
Barack Obamas election as thefirst black U.S. president orced areconsideration o racial reality andpossibility. It also incited an outpouringo discussion o Obamas personaland political record. Paint the WhiteHouse Blackfills a significant void inObama-themed debate, shifing theemphasis rom the details o Obamaspolitical career to an understandingo how race works in America. In thisgroundbreaking book, race, ratherthan Obama, is the central ocus.

AMLIE LE RENARD
Te cities o Saudi Arabia are amongthe most gender-segregated in theworld, but in recent years the Saudigovernment has elt increasing interna-tional pressure to offer greater roles orwomen in society. Implicit in these callsor reorm, however, is an assumptionthat the only real society is male
society. Little consideration has beengiven to the rapidly evolving activitieswithin womens spaces. Tis book joinsyoung urban women in their daily livesto show how these women are trans-orming Saudi cities rom within andcreating their own urban, proessional,consumerist liestyles.
As young Saudi women are emergingas an increasingly visible social group,they are shaping new social norms.
Teir shared urban spaces offer wom-en the opportunity to shed certainconstraints and imagine themselvesin new roles. But to eel included inthis peer group, women must adhereto new constraints: to be sophisticated,ashionable, eminine, and modern.

gues that the education revolution hastransormed our world into a schooledsocietythat is, a society that is active-ly created and defined by education.
Drawing on neo-institutionalism, TeSchooled Societyshows how masseducation interjects itsel and itsideologies into culture at large: romthe dynamics o social mobility, tohow we measure intelligence, to the
values we promote. Te proposition
that education is a primary ratherthan a reactive institution is thentested by examining the degree towhich education has influenced otherlarge-scale social orces, such as theeconomy, politics, and religion.

LandRace, Resources, and SuburbanSchooling
R. LHEUREUX LEWIS-MCCOY
Nestled in neighborhoods o varyingdegrees o affluence, suburban publicschools are typically better resourcedthan their inner-city peers and knownor their extracurricular offerings andcollege preparatory programs. Despitethe glowing opportunities that manyamilies associate with suburbanschooling, accessing a districtsresources is not always straightorward,particularly or black and pooreramilies. Moving beyond class- andrace-based explanations, Inequalityin the Promised Landocuses on theeveryday interactions betweenparents, students, teachers, and schooladministrators in order to understandwhy resources seldom trickle downto a districts racial and economicminorities.
In this important new book, Lewis-Mc-Coy reminds us that as Americas sub-urbs have become increasingly diverse,the challenge o providing all childrenwith access to a high quality educationhas not gone away.
