- Synopsis
- While it is true much of the time that institutions of higher education reproduce the status quo in the manner described Pierre Bourdieu, this work by Rojas (sociology, Indiana U.) demonstrates that they are also places of political contestation. He describes the institutionalization of Black studies within American colleges and universities, arguing that the process can best be viewed as a bureaucratic response to a social movement. He goes beyond a focus on mobilization in order to address issues of legitimization in organizational change.
