“…For example, Karl Marx, observing the rapid social change brought about by the industrial revolution, argued that capitalism helped exacerbate inequality and alienation as people moved to cities to sell their labor (Bottomore & Rubel, 1961;Tucker, 1978). For Emile Durkhem (1984), the rapid influx of people to cities altered the cohesiveness of communities.…”

In the last decade, the city of Fort McMurray, Alberta has undergone significant social changes due to the rapid growth of the oilsands industry in and around the city. In this short period of time, Fort Murray's population has more than doubled attracting migrants from all over Canada and internationally to fill labor shortages in the city. In the process, Fort McMurray has become a twenty-first century boomtown. Drawing on in-depth interviews, this article examines how young people and (adult) key informants perceived disorder, crime, risk, and boomtown living. It was found that participants drew a sharp distinction between those who contributed to the community by making Fort McMurray a home (the insiders) and those who did not (the outsiders). Blame for many of the negative aspects (i.e., disorder, crime, and risks) that came along with boomtown living was attributed to these outsiders.

“…52 In this view, the most salient revolutionary movements should first occur in the industrialized world, as this is the site of the greatest capitalist inroads, and should only then be followed by movements in periphery nations. 53 Marxist theory has struggled, then, with the great importance of radical and revolutionary movements in the developing world in comparison to such movements in developed nations. 54 Modernization theory, in which radical extremist movements are posited to thrive as a result of sociopsychological anomie in a transitional society, may be considered the foundational non-Marxist sociological treatment of revolution.…”

From the Indian Individual to Hierarchising Discourse: Elements for a Theory of Caste

To understand caste in India we must explain the particularity of this mode of stratification, while avoiding an essentialism that isolates caste from other social forms. Stratification appeared in India long before an emic model of caste. Yet in contemporary India, I found actors concerned to place themselves in a rank order, even in ephemeral situations. I outline an Indian concept of the individual, characterised by relative immunity of the self to the social sphere, and argue that this immunity acts as a shield to keep ranking apart from the self. Indian actors show their social capability by adapting to situations rather than imposing a consistent personality across them. Local stratification is explained by actors in a historical mode, as if history was an interactional sequence played out between communities rather than individuals. Indigenous models of society provide an alternative explanatory mode, as when Brahmins claim the superior position. Their holistic model, however, is matched by king-centred and merchant-centred models. Subalterns have yet other views of Indian society. I argue that holistic models in India are constructions of the dominant, and should not be taken to represent 'Indian culture'. Indian society should rather be seen as plural, with several emic models used to describe and explain it. Still, the tendency to create rank in so many situations points to particular rules of interaction and discourse, which implies talking 'as if' hierarchy, in the Dumontian sense, was an objective reality.I Caste remains enigmatic, and a problem in understanding social stratification in India. Dumont (1966) proposed a holistic, hierarchical model centred on the Brahmins, while Quigley (1993) argued for a king-centred model.
