Letter from the editor:
It is with great pleasure that, on behalf of my colleagues at Columbia University Press,
I introduce this year’s sociology catalog. These are interesting times in the wider world.
With our sociology publishing at Columbia we hope to help you understand it. The books in this catalog exemplify the quality of scholarship that we prize, and they reflect the interdisciplinary and thematic approach that we take to publishing.
There are a few titles in this year’s catalog that I want to briefly highlight. To quote Clayton
Childress, “Measuring Culture is the canonical text we have been waiting for in the sociology of culture.” We introduce the series Society and the Environment with Rebecca Elliott’s
Underwater, which considers what loss as a result of climate change should mean and Super
Polluters by Don Grant, Andrew Jorgenson, and Wesley Longhofer investigates what can be
done about the energy sector’s vast carbon emissions. Emily Erickson’s Trade and Nation and Henning Hillmann’s The Corsairs of Saint-Malo are our latest in The Middle Range series, and both consider the origins of capitalism.
There are many other authors and subjects that are not to be missed, including Tania Jenkins on status in the medical profession, Meghan Elizabeth Kallman on the Peace Corp, Alvaro Santana-Acuna on the publication of a canonical novel, and Aaron Passell on historic preservation.
This is a great group of books and there is much to come. We look forward to continuing to share this intellectually engaging journey with you. Thank you for your support.
Sincerely Eric I. Schwartz, Ph.D. Editorial Director

The Uncertainty Mindset
The Death of Idealism
Development and AntiPolitics in the Peace Corps
Innovation Insights from the Frontiers of Food
Meghan Elizabeth
Vaughn Tan
Kallman
The Death of Idealism uses the case of the Peace Corps to explain why and how participation in a bureaucratic organization changes people’s ideals and politics. Meghan Elizabeth Kallman offers an innovative institutional analysis of the role of idealism in development organizations. Based on interviews with over 140 current and returned Peace Corps volunteers, field observations, and a largescale survey, this deeply researched, theoretically rigorous book offers a novel perspective on how people lose their idealism and why that matters.
Drawing on years of unprecedented access to the best and most influential culinary R&D teams in the world, Vaughn Tan reveals how they exemplify what he calls the uncertainty mindset. Such a mindset intentionally incorporates uncertainty into organization design rather than simply trying to reduce risk. A revelatory look at the R&D kitchen, The Uncertainty Mindset upends conventional wisdom about how to organize for innovation and offers practical insights for businesses trying to become innovative and adaptable.

The Redundant City
Cities of Entanglements
A Multi-Site Enquiry Into Urban Narratives of Conflict and Change
Social Life in Johannesburg and Maputo Through Ethnographic Comparison
Norbert Kling
Barbara Heer
Dynamic processes and conflicts form the core of the urban condition. Against the background of continuous change in cities, concepts and assumptions about spatial transformations have to be constantly re-examined and revised. Norbert Kling explores the rich body of narrative knowledge about conflict and change provided by architecture and urbanism and confronts this knowledge with an empirically grounded analysis of a large housing estate. $50.00 paper 978-3-8376-5114-0 2020 336 pages
TRANSCRIPT PUBLISHING
Based on the ethnography of entangled lives unfolding in a township and in a suburb in Johannesburg, as well as in a barrio and in an elite neighborhood in Maputo, this book includes case studies of relations between domestic workers and their employers, failed attempts by urban elites to close off their neighborhoods, and entanglements emerging in religious spaces and in shopping malls. Barbara Heer’s study makes an important contribution to urban anthropology, comparative urbanism, and urban studies. $55.00 paper 978-3-8376-4797-6 2020 340 pages

Housing and Human Settlements in a World of Change
Making Transformative Geographies
Edited by Astrid Ley, Ashiq Ur Rahman, and Josefine Fokdal
Lessons from Stuttgart’s Community Economy Benedikt Schmid
Forewords by Rachel Rolnik and Mohammed El Soufi
This book addresses the challenges of housing and emerging solutions along the lines of three major dynamics: migration, climate change, and neoliberalism. It explores the outcomes of neoliberal enabling ideas, responses to extreme climate events with different housing approaches, and how the dynamics of migration reshape the urban housing provision in a changing world. $50.00 paper 978-3-8376-4942-0
In the light of social and environmental unsustainability and injustice, the continuing attachment to the idea that a growth-based economy is reconcilable with ecological limits seems increasingly implausible. Tracing and dissecting the complexities of social change, Benedikt Schmid examines the development of visions, alternatives, and strategies for a radical transformation beyond growth-based economies.

Contemporary Social Theory in an Anxious Age
Immigrant Women and Domestic Violence
How do we make sense of the rise of political strongmen like Trump and Erdoğan, or the increase in hate crimes and terrorism? How can we understand Brexit and xenophobic, anti-immigrant sentiments and policies? In Restless Ideas, Tony Simmons illustrates how social theory can provide us with the skills for more informed observation, analysis, and empathic understanding of social behavior and social interaction, deepening our understanding of the world around us.
Based on interviews with service providers from the immigration, criminal justice, and family justice systems in four different communities in British Columbia, Hiding in Plain Sight examines the barriers encountered by abused immigrant women across Canada as they seek services and support, and identifies the key challenges for abused immigrant women accessing services as well as the struggles service organizations experience in meeting their needs.

Why We Won't Stop Working, Even If We Can
Stéphane Tonnelat and William Kornblum
Michelle Pannor Silver
Nicknamed the International Express, the New York City Transit Authority 7 subway line runs through a highly diverse series of ethnic and immigrant neighborhoods in Queens. The French ethnographer Stéphane Tonnelat and his collaborator William Kornblum, a native New Yorker, ride the 7 subway line to better understand the intricacies of this phenomenon. Their portrait of integrated mass transit, including a discussion of the relationship between urban density and diversity, is invaluable for social scientists and urban planners.
Michelle Pannor Silver considers how we confront the mismatch between idealized and actual retirement. She follows doctors, CEOs, elite athletes, professors, and homemakers during their transition to retirement as they struggle to recalibrate their sense of purpose and self-worth. $24.00 / £20.00 paper 978-0-231-18857-9 $32.00 / £28.00 cloth 978-0-231-18856-2 2020 296 pages

Manufacturing Decline
The Work of Smart Cities
How Racism and the Conservative Movement Crush the American Rust Belt
Jennifer Clark
Jason Hackworth
Jennifer Clark reframes the smart city concept within the trajectory of uneven development of cities and regions, as well as the long history of technocratic solutions to urban policy challenges. She considers the potential of emerging technologies as well as their capacity to exacerbate existing inequalities and even produce new ones.
Manufacturing Decline argues that antigovernment conservatives capitalized on—and perpetuated—Rust Belt cities’ misfortunes by stoking racial resentment. Jason Hackworth traces how the conservative movement has used the imagery and ideas of urban decline since the 1970s to advance their cause.

Contemporary Debates About Housing, Segregation, and Opportunity

Edited by Ingrid Gould Ellen and Justin Peter Steil
The Dream Revisited brings together a range of expert viewpoints on the causes and consequences of the nation’s separate and unequal living patterns. Leading scholars and practitioners, including civil rights advocates, affordable housing developers, elected officials, and fair housing lawyers, discuss responses to residential segregation.
In Art of Memories, Vincent Antonin Lépinay documents the Hermitage’s curatorial practices in an innovative consideration of the museum as a cultural laboratory. Lépinay analyzes the tensions between the museum as a space of exploration of the collections and as a culture heavily invested in self-protection from the outside world.

Foundations for Sociological and Cultural Analysis Michael T. Hannan, Gaël Le Mens, Greta Hsu, Balázs Kovács, Giacomo Negro, László Pólos, Elizabeth Pontikes, and Amanda J. Sharkey
Patrick Bergemann
A team of sociologists presents a groundbreaking model of concepts and categorization that can guide sociological and cultural analysis of a wide variety of social situations. Using this model, important yet commonplace phenomena such as routine buying decisions can be quantified in terms of the cognitive distance between concepts.
From the Spanish Inquisition to Nazi Germany to the United States today, ordinary people have often chosen to turn in their neighbors to the authorities. In Judge Thy Neighbor, Patrick Bergemann provides a theoretical framework for understanding the motives for denunciations in terms of institutional structures and incentives.

Drug Courts, Therapeutic Communities, and the Intimacies of the State
Edited by Ansley T. Erickson and Ernest Morrell
Kerwin Kaye
Educating Harlem brings together a multidisciplinary group of scholars to consider of the history of schooling in perhaps the nation’s most iconic black community. The volume traces the varied ways that Harlem residents defined and pursued educational justice for their children and community despite consistent neglect and structural oppression.
Kerwin Kaye offers an ethnographic account of drug courts and mandatory treatment centers as a system of coercion, demonstrating how the state uses notions of rehabilitation as a means of social regulation. Enforcing Freedom presents a critical perspective on the punitive side of criminal justice reform and offers alternative paths forward.

Critique and Praxis
What Would Nature Do?
Bernard E. Harcourt
A Guide for Our Uncertain Times Ruth DeFries
Not long ago, the future seemed predictable. Now, certainty about the course of civilization has given way to fear and doubt. Raging fires, ravaging storms, political upheavals, financial collapse, and deadly pandemics lie ahead—or are already here. Ruth DeFries argues that a surprising set of timetested strategies from the natural world can help humanity weather these crises.
Critique and Praxis advocates for a new path forward that constantly challenges each and every one of us to ask what more we can do to realize a society based on equality and justice. Joining his decades of activism, social-justice litigation, and political engagement with his years of critical theory and philosophical work, Bernard E. Harcourt has written a magnum opus.
