The books and articles listed below are merely some of the items available on the subjects I teach (organized by subject), after general sociological works, but I think they are some of the better ones, although most of the listings below are of books. Inclusion on this list does not necessarily mean I agree with them, but I’ve found them worth considering. This list is in no way comprehensive, but rather an introduction. Please feel free to check them out, and to suggest other books that you think are particularly noteworthy. Courses taught include Race and Ethnic Diversity, Social Stratification (i.e., income inequality), Sociology of Developing Countries, Sociology of the Environment, and Sociology of the Media. In the Summer of 2008, I started adding material on Social Movements, and in Spring 2009, started adding material for my course on Sociology of the Current Financial Crisis, that I taught during the summer of 2009 for the first time (and will continue to add although I do not teach these courses on a regular basis). Also, please note that if you want material on social stratification (i.e., income inequality), you should check BOTH Social Stratification and Sociology of the Current Financial Crisis.

These references are listed by particular racial/ethnic group, and are not equally represented. The overwhelming majority of books on African Americans represents my academic interest, as well as growing number of books on African Americans—and is not to suggest they are any more important than any other grouping. Within a particular section, books are listed alphabetically by author’s last name. Any book that is about racial/ethnic diversity and which includes two or more groups, or about the issue of racism in general, is generally put under “Race.” This is an on-going work-in-progress. Groups with at least one reference include African Americans, Arab-Americans, Chinese-Americans, Cuban-Americans, Hmong, Irish-Americans, Italian-Americans, Japanese-Americans, Latinos (as a group), Mexican-Americans/Chicanos, Native Americans, Polish-Americans, Puerto Ricans and Vietnamese Americans. Additionally, I have added related subjects such as Immigration and Islam. Sources will be added over time for each of them, and additional racial/ethnic groups will also be added.)

Paper given April at the 2009 Annual Conference for Labor Education at the National Labor College in Silver Spring, MD. Note: This paper looks at the affects of approximately 30 years of neo-liberal economic policies on US workers, but also provides a snap-shot of conditions for US workers prior to the current Financial Crisis that began in the Summer of 2007.

Back to Social Stratification
This course looks at the “developing world,” which also means looking at US developments in a global context and globalization in general, as well as focusing on changes within certain countries. Particularly when looking at these developing countries, most attention is paid to workers, although their perspective is only one from which to observe developments in their respective countries. This field has exploded over the past 10 years or so, as more and more people in the United States are understanding that the US is part of a larger world, meaning that this is just an “introduction.”
There are four sections below. The first is DEVELOPING COUNTRIES, and this section focuses both in general and Particular Countries--specifically including Afghanistan, Barbados, Bolivia, Brazil, Burma/Myanmar, Canada, Chile, China, Congo, Cuba, Ethiopia, Ghana, Haiti, Honduras, India, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq (including material related to the war), Mexico, Nigeria, Palestine/Israel, Pakistan, Panama, Peru, Philippines, Rwanda, South Africa, Somalia, South Korea, Thailand, Uganda, United Kingdom, Venezuela, Vietnam, and Zimbabwe. The second section is on SPECIFIC SUBJECTS which particularly affect developing countries: including the food crisis and the environmental crisis. The third section is on GLOBALIZATION. The fourth section is on US DEVELOPMENTS IN A GLOBAL CONTEXT.
-- DEVELOPING COUNTRIES:: Emphasis is on countries in which I’m most interested.
