The utility of semistructured interviews in research on social movements is discussed, highlighting their value in collecting data that would be difficult to gather through other methods. Several major types of such interviews are described, including oral histories, life histories, key informant interviews, & focus groups. Ways that the position of the researcher influences the interview process are examined & suggestions are offered for conducting effective interviews; ethical issues are also considered. Some techniques for analyzing qualitative interview data are also reviewed. 62 References. K. Hyatt Stewart

A collection of international scholars and activists answer the questions how does gender and region/nation play a defining role in how feminists engage in anti-racist practices? How has the restructuring in the world economy affected anti-racist organizing? How do Third World Feminists counter the perception that feminism is a "Western" ideology and how effective are their methods? What opportunities does globalization bring for cross-cultural organizing?. From essays on the race and gender issues in organizing exotic dancers to resistance art in Africa and the U.S., this timely and

Reflecting on long-term intensive ethnographic fieldwork, we sketch a "constellation" framework for understanding U.S. extremist white supremacy. Rather than tracing fluctuating people and organizations to explain the persistence of white supremacist extremism, we suggest that focusing on a core set of practices, ideas, and emotions offers a more complex, nuanced, and useful interpretation. We contrast our constellation framework with more typical "bucket" approaches that tend to compartmentalize a complex reality into categories that do not sufficiently match extremism's dynamism.

Much of what is known about how Appalachians cope with chronic poverty is the result of the landmark Beech Creek studies, a series of investigations of an impoverished, geographically isolated group of neighborhoods in eastern Kentucky (Brown 1952a, 1952b, 1988 [1950]; Schwarzweller et al. 1971; McCoy 1986). In 1942 James Brown purposefully selected a remote, nonmining area in rural Clay County, Kentucky, to document a way of life that was less deeply affected by the penetration of commodity, labor, and consumer markets than were Appalachian coalfield communities at the time. Brown's detailed ethnographic observations of subsistence farming, social stratification, and family and community life, together with subsequent studies of residents and out-migrants from Beech Creek, provide the best empirical record of the strategies by which Appalachian persisters and migrants have coped with chronic, intergenerational poverty.

Seeking to determine any racial differences in women's transmission of occupations across generations & over time, data from the National Longitudinal Surveys of Labor Market Experience of Mature Women & Young Women were drawn on to form a study subsample (N = 1,180 white & 481 black women ages 30-44 in 1967, & 1,320 white & 396 black women ages 14-24 in 1978). Both paternal & maternal occupations were considered, & it was found that maternal influence was greater for daughters' occupational choice. Overall results indicate that limited convergence between black & white racial factors remain significant in women's occupational attainment. 4 Tables, 1 Figure, 30 References.

In this article, we present empirical evidence on the cognitive processes underlying racist beliefs and judgement. We draw on 47 life history interviews with former members of White supremacist groups to better understand how social interactions and stimuli from the wider environment inform cognitive pathways or how people think. While we examine both deliberate and intuitive pathways to racist belief, we focus on the intuitive ways that extreme racist beliefs are cognitively processed before, during and after an individual is involved in the White supremacist movement. In doing so, we fill a critical gap in the literature by providing an empirical analysis of intuition. We illustrate the analytic contributions of our approach, and we conclude by drawing on our evidence to elucidate three puzzles, including: (1) why racist beliefs persist; (2) how people draw on implicit beliefs to make explicit judgements; and (3) how explicit beliefs become encoded in intuitive pathways.
