Content: "Narrative Sociology defines a field in the making. Narrative analysis has had a powerful presence within sociology for decades. Wherever everyday meaning making is at issue, narrative has been fundamental. It has been critical to the subfields of sociology that examine the social construction of categories, such as gender, race, sexuality, and disability, among others. It has figured heavily in subfields that deal with the collective creation of meaning, as in the study of social movements and, to a lesser degree, organizations more generally. As a causal approach, narrative has been critical to historical and comparative sociology. Although narrative research in sociology has long suggested the presence of theories, approaches, and works that are considered essential to the field, Narrative Sociology makes the narrative approach explicit. It delineates narrative sociology as a subfield by defining its central theoretical premises and identifying key theoretical debates and exemplary work. In doing so, this volume includes works that explore the kinds of questions that interest sociologists, such as the work narratives do in reproducing and maintaining inequality, in institutionalizing power, and in upending the status quo"--

Content: How is it that recipients of white privilege deny the role they play in reproducing racial inequality? Racing for Innocence addresses this question by examining the backlash against affirmative action in the late 1980's and early 1990's-just as courts, universities, and other institutions began to end affirmative action programs. This book recounts the stories of elite legal professionals at a large corporation with a federally mandated affirmative action program, as well as the cultural narratives about race, gender, and power in the news media and Hollywood films. Though...

Content: In Telling Stories, Mary Jo Maynes, Jennifer L. Pierce, and Barbara Laslett argue that personal narratives—autobiographies, oral histories, life history interviews, and memoirs—are an important research tool for understanding the relationship between people and their societies. Gathering examples from throughout the world and from premodern as well as contemporary cultures, they draw from labor history and class analysis, feminist sociology, race relations, and anthropology to demonstrate the value of personal narratives for scholars and students alike.Telling Stories explores why and how personal narratives should be used as evidence, and the methods and pitfalls of their use. The authors stress the importance of recognizing that stories that people tell about their lives are never simply individual. Rather, they are told in historically specific times and settings and call on rules, models, and social experiences that govern how story elements link together in the process of self-narration. Stories show how individuals' motivations, emotions, and imaginations have been shaped by their cumulative life experiences. In turn, Telling Stories demonstrates how the knowledge produced by personal narrative analysis is not simply contained in the stories told; the understanding that takes place between narrator and analyst and between analyst and audience enriches the results immeasurably.
