CO LUMBIA UNIVE R SI T Y P R ESS C U P. C O L U M B I A . E D U
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. 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. This is a time of growth and innovation for the field of sociology at Columbia.
There are a few titles in this year’s catalog that I want to briefly highlight. In American Resistance, Dana Fisher follows the rise of the Resistance movement as it aids in the
successful election of a Democratic House in the midterm elections. Yingyi Ma’s Ambitious and Anxious reveals why a growing number of Chinese undergraduates come to the United States for a college education and what they expect to do when they graduate. To Fulfill
These Rights by Amaka Okechukwu demonstrates how affirmative action policies in higher education have been slowly gutted.
There are many other authors and subjects that are not to be missed, including Michael
Hannan and colleagues on categorization, Vincent Lepinay on the Hermitage Museum,
Terry Williams on after-hours clubs, and Jason Hackworth on urban policy in the Rust Belt. 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, PhD Editorial Director

Art of Memories
Curating at the Hermitage
Foundations for Sociological and Cultural Analysis
Vincent Antonin Lépinay
Michael T. Hannan, Gaël Le Mens, Greta Hsu, Balázs Kovács, Giacomo Negro, László Pólos, Elizabeth Pontikes, and Amanda J. Sharkey
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.
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.

The Credential Society
A Haven and a Hell
An Historical Sociology of Education and Stratification
The Ghetto in Black America Lance Freeman
Randall Collins
New preface to the Legacy Edition. Forewords by Tressie McMillan Cottom and Mitchell L. Stevens
The Credential Society by Randall Collins is a classic on higher education and its role in American society. Forty years later, its controversial claim that the expansion of American education has not increased social mobility, but rather created a cycle of credential inflation, has proven remarkably prescient.
Lance Freeman traces the evolving role of predominantly black neighborhoods in northern cities from the late nineteenth century through the present day. He reveals the forces that caused the ghetto’s role as haven or hell to wax and wane.

Terry Williams
Edited by Ingrid Gould Ellen and Justin Peter Steil
Sociologist Terry Williams returns to the cocaine culture of Harlem in the 1980s and ’90s with an ethnographic account of a club he calls Le Boogie Woogie.

Manufacturing Decline
Uneven Innovation
The Work of Smart Cities
How Racism and the Conservative Movement Crush the American Rust Belt
Jennifer Clark
Jason Hackworth
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.
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.

Global Insecurity and Urban Resistance
The Transformation of Gangs and Violence on Chicago's South Side
Mary Kaldor and Saskia Sassen assemble an international team of scholars to examine cities as sites of contemporary warfare and insecurity.

Adam Reich and Peter Bearman examine how Walmart workers make sense of their jobs in order to consider the nature of contemporary low-wage work, as well as the obstacles and opportunities such workplaces present for social and economic justice.

Their sociological analysis of the Klan’s outbreaks sheds light on how Trump's rise to power was made possible by a convergence of circumstances.

Jeffrey D. Sachs turns to world history to shed light on how we can meet the challenges and opportunities of the twenty-first century.

The Self-Help Compulsion
Robert Rauschenberg An Oral History
Searching for Advice in Modern Literature
Edited by Sara Sinclair
Beth Blum
Samuel Beckett as a guru for business executives? James Joyce as a guide to living a good life? The notion of notoriously experimental authors sharing a shelf with self-help books might seem far-fetched, yet a hidden history links these two worlds. In The Self-Help Compulsion, Beth Blum reveals the profound entanglement of modern literature and commercial advice from the late nineteenth century to the present day.
Robert Rauschenberg is a work of collaborative oral biography that tells the story of one of the twentieth century’s great artists through a series of interviews with key figures in his life—family, friends, former lovers, professional associates, studio assistants, and collaborators. $35.00 / £27.00 cloth 978-0-231-19276-7 2019 328 pages 20 illus.
