? About AJS

Established in 1895 as the first US scholarly journal in its field, the American Journal of Sociology (AJS) presents pathbreaking work from all areas of sociology, with an emphasis on theory building and innovative methods. AJS strives to speak to the general sociology reader and is open to contributions from across the social sciences—sociology, history, anthropology, and statistics—that seriously engage the sociological literature to forge new ways of understanding the social.

AJS offers a substantial book review section that identifies the most salient work of both emerging and enduring scholars of social science. Commissioned review essays appear occasionally, offering readers a comparative, in-depth examination of prominent titles.

Although AJS publishes a very small percentage of the papers submitted to it, a double-blind review process is available to all qualified submissions, making the journal a center for exchange and debate "behind" the printed page and contributing to the robustness of social science research in general.

ARTICLES

Wealth Begins at Home: The Housing Benefits of the 1944 GI Bill and the Reproduction of Black-White Inequality in Homeownership and Home Value

Chinyere O. Agbai

This article bridges empirical research on wealth inequality and theoretical perspectives on the influence of racial structures to highlight the implications of historic policy on Black-White inequalities in homeownership. Taking the case of the 1944 GI Bill, I deploy the 1960 IPUMS and restricted administrative data from the Department of Veterans Affairs to demonstrate that the GI Bill is linked with increased homeownership and home value for Black and White veterans. However, because of differential effects of the Home Loan Guaranty of the 1944 GI Bill across race and significant existing racial inequalities in housing outcomes, the policy exacerbated extant racial inequalities. These inequalities have persisted and intensified into the present. Finally, I analyze counterfactual scenarios to interrogate how different factors contributed to these inequalities. I conclude with a discussion of the implications of findings for sociological considerations of stratification processes over time, housing and wealth inequality specifically, and how historic policies have reproduced existing racial inequalities.

The Leniency of Low Expectations: Parental Incarceration, Race, and Teachers’ Evaluations of Student Writing

Erin J. McCauley

In the era of mass incarceration, scholars have linked the expansion of the criminal legal system to the development and persistence of disparities in education. Leveraging a survey-based experiment with 1,492 high school teachers, I find that teachers grade the same essay less rigorously if they believe an otherwise identical male student has an incarcerated parent. Then I extend my analysis to examine the feedback provided by teachers, affording a unique window into the range of teacher responses that can characterize disparate treatment. I find evidence that the stigma of a student’s parental incarceration status shapes teachers’ evaluative behaviors, specifically in ways that are racialized and may have consequences for the educational trajectories of students with incarcerated parents.

The Polarization of Inequality Perceptions in the New Gilded Age

Hannah Waight and Adam Goldstein

A growing social science literature finds that Americans tend to underestimate levels of socioeconomic inequality, but this work has not considered the historical evolution of distributional perceptions in an era of rising economic polarization. We draw on historical public opinion data from 1966–2013 to explain the shifting bases of inequality perceptions. Trends in perceptions of economic polarization are inversely correlated with trends in actual distributional inequality, with a surprising decline in the share of Americans who perceive inequality to be growing during the 1990s and early 2000s. Regression and simulation analyses demonstrate how this decline was asymmetrically concentrated among identified Republicans. Patterns of inequality perceptions reflect a growing class divide within the Republican Party. It is this intersection, rather than self-reinforcing meritocratic myths or differential local exposure to real inequality, that explains the counterintuitive decline of perceived economic polarization during the 1990s and 2000s.

Who Polices Which Boundaries? How Racial Self-Identification Affects External Classification

Maria Abascal,Amada Armenta,W. M. Halm, and Daniel J. Hopkins

This study explores whether Americans agree on the ethnoracial categories that are worth policing. It evaluates how receptive White, Black, Latino, and Asian Americans are to how others self-identify by race/ethnicity. Insights from Bourdieu on classification struggles combined with status characteristics theory and gender research suggest that all Americans will police the higher-status White category more than other ethnoracial categories. Other possibilities include White exceptionalism—only White Americans police the White category most—and ingroup overexclusion—everyone polices their own category most. In a conjoint experiment with two samples, we find White, Black, Latino, and Asian Americans all police the White category most diligently, that is, they are less responsive when someone identifies as White than when they identify as Latino, Asian, Middle Eastern or North African, or, in most cases, Black. Our results reveal a consensus across Americans on a racial classification schema that reinscribes the contemporary racial hierarchy.
