This is the first book-length study of the academic career and political activism of the overlooked US sociologist Herbert Adolphus Miller. Miller was associated with the Chicago school of sociology, but his role has often been neglected.

Produktbeschreibung
This is the first book-length study of the academic career and political activism of the overlooked US sociologist Herbert Adolphus Miller. Miller was associated with the Chicago school of sociology, but his role has often been neglected. He was one of the first critics of eugenics, an active supporter of racial equality in Jim Crow America, and a life-long associate of W.E.B. Du Bois. He criticised assimilation (Americanization) as a goal of immigration policy and was an early advocate of multiculturalism. He took a distinctly more radical approach to race and immigration than his contemporaries, and developed a novel political sociology of domination in which he set out a critique of empires, the plight of subject minorities and the risks associated with the inevitable nationalist responses. Where others have identified with the 'internationalisation' of nationalism, Miller sought to make the nation 'international'. He was actively involved in movements for racial justice, Czechoslovakian independence, the formation of the Mid-European Union of subject peoples, as well as support for Korean and Indian independence. Opposed by the Ku Klux Klan, he was dismissed from Ohio State University for his political activities in 1932. Empire and subject peoples brings to light an important but forgotten figure in the political sociology of domination and nationalism.
