“…2000). Although the initial implementation of Jim Crow was sporadically resisted by blacks (Barnes 1983; Meier and Rudwick 1969; Roback 1986), these protests were conservative in that they ‘protested and yet avoided confrontation with the discriminating whites’ (Meier and Rudwick 1969, 773).…”

This study outlines how gender relations and gender differences come into play in the civil rights movement -the national movement to transform American race relations in the 1950s and 1960s. Social movement scholarship on the civil rights movement emphasizes dramatic mass mobilizations and charismatic leadership, both distinctively masculine enterprises. This emphasis overlooks the subtle and underappreciated dynamics of gender in shaping cultures of protest and resistance. Consideration of gender and gender roles in the private and public spheres provides a more nuanced understanding of protest strategies and the formulation of resistance in direct action. Gendered patterns related to movement participation, mobilization, leadership, strategies and ideologies also bring into focus how local issues shaped regional variations in civil rights initiatives. Finally, gender symbolism and culture deepen our understanding of non-violent direct action as a moral, emancipatory performance, serving to blur the physical boundaries enacted by civil restraint.

This Presidential Address develops a sociological concept of citizenship, particularly substantive citizenship, as fundamentally a matter of belonging, including recognition by other members of the community. In this conception, citizenship is not simply a fixed legal status, but a fluid status that is produced through everyday practices and struggles. Historical examples illustrate the way in which boundaries of membership are enforced and challenged in everyday interactions. The experience of undocumented immigrant college students is particularly illuminating. These students occupy a position of liminal legality, which transcends fixed categories such as legal and illegal. As they go about their daily lives, their standing is affirmed in some settings and denied in others. Furthermore, the undocumented student movement, which asserts that education is a human and social right, represents a form of insurgent citizenship, one that challenges dominant formulations and offers an alternative and more inclusive conception.

“…After the U.S. Civil War (1861-1865), labor unions introduced labels intended to distinguish between products manufactured by unionized and nonunionized labor (Glickman, 1997). “Jim Crow” tramways, which were accused of discrimination, were the target of boycotts by many of the Black inhabitants of towns and cities in the Southern states (Meier & Rudwick, 1969). In 1902, Jewish women organized a boycott to protest against the excessive price of kosher meat (Hyman, 1980).…”

The basic strategy for the fight against child labor has been boycotting efforts followed by labeling practices. This article reviews the development of these practices and their impact on the hand-knotted carpet industry in India. The authors highlight the fact that though labeling has responded to many of the criticisms of boycotts, labeling too has shortcomings related to its trustworthiness in situations where information is highly asymmetrical among stakeholders. The labeling may lack credibility and, thus, arguably, has limited impact on the hand-knotted carpet industry. The article discusses why and how labeling may lack credibility. Since the article is a conceptual assessment and not an empirical study, it draws on other sources for relevant empirical information.
