My new book just arrived. It looks at the historic story of how residents created the middle-class African American suburbs outside of Baltimore, and the important work they’re still doing. #Baltimore #Randallstown #sociology #LibertyRoad

Pleased to have this out in Metropolitics: Elizabeth Nelson on how people in France use urban spaces differently in Paris and the banlieues to develop varied aspects of French and Algerian identities. metropolitics.org/Spaces-of-Incl…

Flattered to be quoted here because my colleagues’ comments are so sharp. The show thinks “community policing” makes it cutting edge; isn’t that term from a decade ago? Los Angeles Times #EastNewYork Alex Vitale

Mike Davis was so ahead of the curve on Marxist ecology because he was interested in making sense of all the world—Malibu real estate & So Cal flora & LA tenements; El Niños & grain markets & colonial policy. a true materialist. so grateful for all he taught us, RIP.

French researcher: 2nd gen N. Africans in professions near the national average. Contradicts the perpetual claim that the latest generation of immigrants isn't doing what immigrants have always done or that social mobility is broken. lemonde.fr/idees/article/…

I'd take issue with his explanation for why Mahgreb women see greater success in France than men; he's not looking at the different stereotypes both have to face, a well-known factor in gender differences for groups in the US.
