The SAGE Encyclopedia of Surveillance, Security, and Privacy
Although surveillance hit the headlines with revelations by Edward Snowden that the National Security Agency had been tracking phone calls worldwide, surveillance of citizens by their governments actually has been conducted for centuries. Only now, with the advent of modern technologies, it has exponentially evolved so that today you can barely step out your door without being watched or recorded in some way. In addition to the political and security surveillance unveiled by the Snowden revelations, think about corporate surveillance: each swipe of your ID card to enter your office is recorded, not to mention your Internet activity. Or economic surveillance: what you buy online or with a cre...
Sociology of Sociology
Sociology has split into two groups, an elite core of departments and a considerably larger "mass" of departments, consisting of the "teaching schools" in the lower tiers of the US News and World Report ranking system. This book shows how professional sociology is accomplished at some of the teaching institutions.
Extremism in the United States
Extremism in the United States presents students with a collection of articles that chronicle the development of violent white supremacist extremism in the United States from the Know-Nothing era to the January 6 insurrection. The book examines how right-wing groups mobilized in the last half of the 20th century to become a strong negative influence upon American society. The opening unit discusses the diversity of extremism in America and in the world, and how extremism has changed over time. Proceeding units examine the American Eugenics Movement; the mobilization of white supremacy through Neo-Nazis, Skinheads, and militiamen; the rise of the Alt-Right in the United States; and strategies for resisting extremism in the 21st century. In closing units, students read articles on lone wolf offenders, internet radicalization, and ways to combat white supremacist violence in the future. A timely and contemporary resource, Extremism in the United States is an ideal textbook for courses in sociology, criminal justice, and terrorism.
Lee Harvey Oswald
Dr. Weeber presents a particularly detailed and comprehensive history of the crazy times and unfolding craziness following the assassination of President Kennedy. Readers who are not well versed in these events will find the book illuminating and well documented. More esoteric readers will find details and issues presented that have likely evaded their grasp earlier.
Sociology from the Ground Up
While American sociology is familiar enough with its elite institutions and scholars, this book is about life in the lower tiers, where much of American sociology is accomplished.

Narrating the Storm
For those interested in learning more about the personal impact of Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath, Narrating the Storm serves as an essential read. This important and timeless volume is a compilation of sixteen narratives that address the experiences of Gulf Coast residents, faculty, and graduate students who were caught up in the largest (not so) natural disaster in United States history. Each contributor deploys storytelling sociology as a methodological approach in order to illustrate how â oepersonalâ experiences with disaster are not so personal, but rather reflect and are informed by larger social phenomena related to issues including race, class, gender, age, bureaucracy, risk, collective memory, the blasÃ(c), and more. The narratives in this volume exemplify how inequality and injustice are unveiled, exacerbated, and created by the occurrence of disaster; and reveal the sociological in everyday and not-so-everyday experiences.
