Abstract

Surgery theory, the basis for the classification theory of manifolds, is now about forty years old. The sixtieth birthday (on December 14, 1996) of C.T.C. Wall, a leading member of the subject's founding generation, led the editors of this volume to reflect on the extraordinary accomplishments of surgery theory as well as its current enormously varied interactions with algebra, analysis, and geometry. Workers in many of these areas have often lamented the lack of a single source surveying surgery theory and its applications. Because no one person could write such a survey, the editors asked a variety of experts to report on the areas of current interest. This is the second of two volumes resulting from that collective effort. It will be useful to topologists, to other interested researchers, and to advanced students. The topics covered include current applications of surgery, Wall's finiteness obstruction, algebraic surgery, automorphisms and embeddings of manifolds, surgery theoretic methods for the study of group actions and stratified spaces, metrics of positive scalar curvature, and surgery in dimension four. In addition to the editors, the contributors are S. Ferry, M. Weiss, B. Williams, T. Goodwillie, J. Klein, S. Weinberger, B. Hughes, S. Stolz, R. Kirby, L. Taylor, and F. Quinn.

Abstract

Oversight answers the question of whether black and Latino legislators better represent minority interests in Congress than white legislators, and it is the first book on the subject to focus on congressional oversight rather than roll-call voting. In this important book, Michael Minta demonstrates that minority lawmakers provide qualitatively better representation of black and Latino interests than their white counterparts. They are more likely to intervene in decision making by federal agencies by testifying in support of minority interests at congressional oversight hearings. Minority legislators write more letters urging agency officials to enforce civil rights policies, and spend significant time and effort advocating for solutions to problems that affect all racial and ethnic groups, such as poverty, inadequate health care, fair housing, and community development. In Oversight, Minta argues that minority members of Congress act on behalf of broad minority interests--inside and outside their districts--because of a shared bond of experience and a sense of linked fate. He shows how the presence of black and Latino legislators in the committee room increases the chances that minority perspectives and concerns will be addressed in committee deliberations, and also how minority lawmakers are effective at countering negative stereotypes about minorities in policy debates on issues like affirmative action and affordable housing.

Abstract

La 4e de couv. indique : "Une partie de la littérature sociologique admet que les groupes comme les personnes sont dotés de volonté, de conscience et cherchent à promouvoir leurs intérêts, entrent en conflit, ont des stratégies bien définies. Selon Olson, c'est se rendre la vie trop facile que de supposer la logique de l'action collective réductible à la logique de l'action individuelle. La proposition impertinente qu'il cherche à promouvoir est qu'un groupe inorganisé de personnes ayant un intérêt commun, conscientes de cet intérêt et ayant des moyens de le réaliser ne fera dans des conditions générales rien pour le promouvoir. La communauté d'intérêt ne suffit pas à provoquer, contrairement à ce qu'affirme Marx, l'action commune permettant de promouvoir l'intérêt de tous. En dehors de ses possibilités d'application et de l'interprétation nouvelle qu'elle offre de nombreux phénomènes sociaux et politiques (syndicats, partis politiques, groupes de pression...), la théorie d'Olson ouvre une voie à la réinterprétation d'auteurs classiques comme Rousseau, Marx et Durkheim."
