Mexicans In New York City, Luis F. Nuno Jan 2013

Mexicans In New York City, Luis F. Nuno

Societies Without Borders

New York City witnessed a substantial growth of Mexican immigration in the postCold War Era. This paper reviews the research literature on these changes across the urban landscape in light of the sociology of human rights in the contemporary era criminalizing migration. The number of births to Mexican mothers in New York City’s hospitals between 1985-2006 documents a near ten times growth in the number of Mexican American babies born in New York City for the twenty-year period between 1985-2005. Additionally, ethnographic data examine the lived experiences of Mexican immigrants in New York City during this era. The research offers …


Stress Theory, Health, And Health Care: Self-Care Technology And Self-Identity Reinvigoration, Nicholas Gibson Jan 2013

Stress Theory, Health, And Health Care: Self-Care Technology And Self-Identity Reinvigoration, Nicholas Gibson

Societies Without Borders

How does self-care technology influence self-concept in patients with chronic health care needs? Progressive patient reliance on self-care is tantamount to the extension of independence and self-reliance in all countries with populations experiencing chronic health challenges. With remarkable advancements in medical technology of late, understanding the effects of self-care technology on patient well-being is critical. This work explores existing literature on the intersection of medical care and technological interventions in populations dealing with chronic illnesses, through the lens of a researcher involved with the HOPE Project in Hawai'i exploring technology use by patients undergoing dialysis treatments. The perspective of this …


Linking Disability Rights And Democracy: Insights From Brazil, Lyusyena Kirakosyan Jan 2013

Linking Disability Rights And Democracy: Insights From Brazil, Lyusyena Kirakosyan

Societies Without Borders

This article explores the purport and portent of the 2006 United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) for disabled Brazilians. The analysis proceeds in three stages. First, it traces the evolution of the Convention as the culmination of a 30-year dialogue between the UN, governments and civil society organizations worldwide. As a legally binding instrument, the UNCRPD enables disabled citizens and interested civil society organizations to hold signatory states accountable for the protection and furtherance of disability rights. Second, the article examines how the Brazilian government came to adopt the Convention and how it has implemented …


A Critical View Of Graduate Unions, Deeb Paul Kitchen Ii Jan 2013

A Critical View Of Graduate Unions, Deeb Paul Kitchen Ii

Societies Without Borders

Institutions of higher education increasingly focus on their economic functions and have adopted labor force practices that resemble private businesses. One such strategy is a greater reliance on employing graduate students to perform tasks previously done by faculty. Simultaneously, graduate employees have organized labor unions and pushed for rights and benefits other organized workers have sought. This is a practice that should be of concern to human rights sociologists, lest we neglect to critically reflect on the social relations that our work is embedded within, thereby damaging our abilities to champion the oppressed. This case study examines how graduate labor …


Grappling With Structure, Social Construction, And Morality: Towards A Human Rights Approach To Social Problems Instruction, Eric Bonds Jan 2013

Grappling With Structure, Social Construction, And Morality: Towards A Human Rights Approach To Social Problems Instruction, Eric Bonds

Societies Without Borders

This essay proposes a human rights approach to social problems instruction, whereby social problems are defined as conditions in which a group’s human rights are violated due to their position in a social structure. The approach advocated here draws upon the strengths of the values-structure and social constructionist heritages in the teaching of social problems, while also correcting for some of their individual weaknesses and limitations. The essay closes by outlining what such a class might look like and includes a list of possible teaching resources and a sample class syllabus.


Negotiating Uncertainty In The Right To Asylee Status, Erin Rider Jan 2013

Negotiating Uncertainty In The Right To Asylee Status, Erin Rider

Societies Without Borders

The asylum system regards asylum seekers as actors with privilege and resources, and expects them to present sound cases documenting their rights to asylee status. However, the asylum system fails to consider the lack of autonomy of asylum seekers, as they must manage trauma, lack of resources, new host societies, and the asylum process. Based on interviews (n=14) with asylum seekers, general findings reveal that inherent barriers within the asylum system position asylum seekers into a context of insecurity that undermines their agency and ability to achieve asylee status. The examination of asylum seekers interacting with the United States asylum …


“I Now Pronounce You Polimigra”: Narrative Resistance To Police-Ice Interoperability, Meghan E. Conley Jan 2013

“I Now Pronounce You Polimigra”: Narrative Resistance To Police-Ice Interoperability, Meghan E. Conley

Societies Without Borders

Police-ICE interoperability, known colloquially by immigrant rights actors as PoliMigra, is the cooperation of state and local law enforcement with federal immigration authorities to enforce federal immigration law. Hailed by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and state and local authorities as a “common sense” approach to immigration enforcement, such collaboration is asserted to aid authorities in identifying and apprehending potential or proven threats to the nation. In contrast, immigrant rights actors argue that the blurring of lines between local police and federal immigration agents ultimately produces vulnerability for communities, both immigrant and native-born. In …

The “Arab Spring” And Its Theoretical Significance: Samuel Huntington’S Theory, “The Clash Of Civilizations,” Revisited, Mahmoud "Max" Kashefi Jan 2013

The “Arab Spring” And Its Theoretical Significance: Samuel Huntington’S Theory, “The Clash Of Civilizations,” Revisited, Mahmoud "Max" Kashefi

Societies Without Borders

Using the characteristics and the demands of the recent uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa or so called “Arab Spring,” this study questions the significance of some propositions deduced from Huntington’ popular theory of “The Clash of Civilizations.” The research asserts that globalization, especially the development of new technology, has created opportunities for the new generations in the region to be acculturated with a set of values reflecting their basic civilian and human rights. The new values, while credited with the development in the West, belong to all human beings and are gaining the status of universal human …


Mobilization After Repression: Reconsidering The Role Of Testimonies And Exiles In Post-War El Salvador, Angela Elena Fillingim Jan 2013

Mobilization After Repression: Reconsidering The Role Of Testimonies And Exiles In Post-War El Salvador, Angela Elena Fillingim

Societies Without Borders

During the civil war in El Salvador, the Salvadoran military engaged in the systematic disappearance of youth and facilitated their adoptions. Presently Found, a Salvadoran human rights NGO, works to reunite these youth with their surviving biological families. However, a key difference between Found and other similar organizations, is that the former was established in the post-war context. Through a case study of Found, and placed in comparative light with a similar phenomenon in Argentina, I will show that traditional mobilization strategies face new obstacles in a post-war context. Specifically, while Found engaged in many of the same movement tactics …


The Violence Of Nonviolence: Problematizing Nonviolent Resistance In Iran And Egypt, Sean Chabot, Majid Sharifi Jan 2013

The Violence Of Nonviolence: Problematizing Nonviolent Resistance In Iran And Egypt, Sean Chabot, Majid Sharifi

Societies Without Borders

Our central argument is that the hegemonic story of nonviolent resistance is reinforcing the underlying hegemonic story of neoliberalism. It is hard to dispute that the most popular brand of nonviolence, articulated by Gene Sharp and his followers, has helped people overthrow authoritarian regimes across the globe. Yet Sharp’s nonviolence also promotes the spread of neoliberal freedom and democracy, which cause multiple forms of visible and invisible violence. This article’s first section examines significant details in Sharp’s hegemonic story of nonviolent resistance and problematizes its limited understanding of violence. The following section relates Sharp’s approach to Iran’s Green Movement and …

Constructing Gendered Ngo Selves: Utilizing Identity Work To Assess Ngo Gender Advocacy And Politics, Steven L. Arxer Jan 2013

Constructing Gendered Ngo Selves: Utilizing Identity Work To Assess Ngo Gender Advocacy And Politics, Steven L. Arxer

Societies Without Borders

This paper seeks to address a need in development and international literature regarding assessments of nongovernmental organizations (NGO). While NGO scholars have provided a great deal of information regarding NGO service evaluation, there are relatively few detailed studies that look at what is happening within these organizations as solutions to problems related to development and democratization. This paper uses both a developed sociological lens and empirical case study from Latin America to illustrate the internal gender dynamics of NGOs and the value of a narrative approach for making evaluations of NGO efficacy. It is shown that NGO members’ experiences as …


Freedom With Chinese Characteristics, Keith Kerr Jan 2013

Freedom With Chinese Characteristics, Keith Kerr

Societies Without Borders

The following “note from the field” is based off of first-hand observations and experiences had while living and working as an affiliated professor at a Chinese university. Noting the well-known political restrictions existing in China, the piece argues that against dominant Western narratives depicting a lack of freedom within China, there ostensibly appear spaces offering levels of emotional and interactional freedoms greater than what one can experience in the West. This argument is framed within the thought of Western intellectuals such as David Riesman, Erich Fromm, C. Wright Mills and Stjepan Mestrovic, and is advanced by considering the vast historical …
