Urban Action Networks: HIV/AIDS and Community Organizing in New York City

Urban Action Networks is a study of how communities organize in response to threats to their lives and well being. As HIV/AIDS wreaked havoc on the worlds of some of the most marginal and disenfranchised people in New York, they came together to create a shared response, forming a new organizational field within which their various efforts were coordinated. This book traces the interorganizational processes by which the groups negotiated shared meanings, collective strategies, and a complex, shifting set of relations with local and national government. It covers the first decade of AIDS, when the organized community groups actively set the agenda. How the communities of the most affected people organized, reorganized, and redefined the social and political context of HIV/AIDS offers an encouraging glimpse into the way in which marginal communities can convert shared needs into collective action.

Understanding Organizations

Social life is a collective process, and virtually all of social life in contemporary industrial nations is shaped by formal organizations and recognized social institutions. One can no longer hope to understand a complex society without understanding its organizations, any more than one can fully understand organizational life without grasping the social processes that shape it. Understanding Organizations takes a fresh look at the sociology of organizations, blending classic theories of industrial society with contemporary cultural studies, labor studies, social movement theory, and the role of nonprofits. In each chapter, Lune describes the major ideas and the new work that define the topic, as well as asking how these assumptions came about and how they impact us in our daily lives. This book will be the ideal companion to courses on organizations across the social sciences, and has insights to offer all students of organized life, whether one is interested in entering the corporate world, starting an arts organization, or mobilizing for social change.

Transnational Nationalism and Collective Identity among the American Irish

In Transnational Nationalism and Collective Identity among the American Irish, Howard Lune considers the development and mobilization of different nationalisms over 125 years of Irish diasporic history (1791-1920) and how these campaigns defined the Irish nation and Irish citizenship.&nbsp;Lune takes a collective approach to exploring identity, concentrating on social identities in which organizations are the primary creative agent to understand who we are and how we come to define ourselves. As exiled Irishmen moved to the United States, they sought to create a new Irish republic following the American model. Lune traces the construction of Irish American identity through the establishment and development of Irish nationalist organizations in the United States. He looks at how networks--such as societies, clubs, and private organizations--can influence and foster diaspora, nationalism, and nationalist movements.&nbsp;By separating nationalism from the physical nation, Transnational Nationalism and Collective Identity among the American Irish uniquely captures the processes and mechanisms by which collective identities are constructed, negotiated, and disseminated. Inevitably, this work tackles the question of what it means to be Irish--to have a nationality, a community, or a shared history.

Review\n“In his brilliant and pathbreaking reflection on the transnational field of Irish nationalism, Howard Lune has provided a succinct analysis of nationalist movements. He convincingly employs insights from studies on nationalism, cross-border identities, and transnational collective action. Lune’s superb account suggests that organizational and transnational perspectives are essential for understanding and critically dealing with central questions of nationalism not only for the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries but also for the globalized world of the twenty-first century. This book is bound to become an essential guide for a new generation of social scientists debating how transnational action and transnationally organized collective identity formation shape cross-border nationalism.” 
—Thomas Faist, Professor of Sociology, Bielefeld University, and author of The Transnationalized Social Question: Migration and the Politics of Social Inequalities in the Twenty-First Century\n“ In Transnational Nationalism and Collective Identity among the American Irish, Howard Lune reveals the interrelationships among individuals and organizations committed to achieving independence for the Irish nation. The aspiration for an independent Irish nation dates from the Enlightenment and later spread throughout the diaspora, creating a transnational movement that still influences Ireland. This is a major contribution to our understanding of social movements, transnational nationalism, organizational fields, collective identity, and the complex relationships between Irish and Irish-American nationalists.” 
—Robert W. White, Professor of Sociology, Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI), and author of Out of the Ashes: An Oral History of the Provisional Irish Republican Movement\nIn Transnational Nationalism and Collective Identity among the American Irish, Howard Lune considers the development and mobilization of different nationalisms over 125 years of Irish diasporic history (1791–1920) and how these campaigns defined the Irish nation and Irish citizenship.
