American Sociological Review

Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on social inequality, including economic inequality, worker power, and the impact of employers like Walmart on union membership. It examines social influence and diffusion within networks, particularly in contexts like health practices in Honduras. The journal also investigates how citizens interpret nationalist messages in authoritarian settings, using China's entertainment industry as a case study, and explores the dynamics of interaction rituals, distinguishing between 'rituals of face' and 'rituals of effervescence' in diverse settings like Norway and Canada. Further research delves into the origins of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through a bioterritorial lens, analyzing the impact of disease on labor competition and colonization in late-Ottoman Palestine. The journal also addresses the effects of state laws, such as Right to Work laws, on economic dynamism and labor markets, and examines the concept of 'collateral decision-making' within the criminal legal system in the United States. Additionally, it investigates the labor market consequences of Islamist terrorist attacks in Germany, the persistence of upper-class families through 'kinship interlocks,' and the role of cultural trauma in preserving historic Chinatowns in Canada and the United States. Research also explores the influence of folklore on far-right voting in Germany, the nexus of credit markets and welfare states for low-income households in the U.S., the impact of political leaders' endorsements on public behavior during crises like the COVID-19 pandemic, and the temporal dimensions of climate change discourse in U.S. media. Finally, the journal analyzes the changing role of mothers in shaping children's life chances in the United States.
