The Rajah of the Great White Way: The Self-Made Man, Conspicuous Consumption, and Competitive Masculinity in Gilded Age New York City
No full textA larger-than-life figure in the raucous, display-oriented social world of Gilded Age New York, James Buchanan “Diamond Jim” Brady was a man of prodigious appetites. Famed for his realization of the American Dream, his penchant for flashy displays of diamonds, and his animalistic appetite for almost unimaginable quantities of food, Brady conveyed a specific competitive masculinity in a time of male self-mastery and restraint – a competitive masculinity inextricably bound to questions of economic class, wealth display, and conspicuous consumption. This article critically examines aspects of Brady’s embodied gender presentation, and shines a light on the wider, gendered performance of Gilded Age, leisure class masculinity by a new class of ‘robber barons,’ and nouveau riche in turn-of-the-century New York City

PERCEPTIONS OF NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTERISTICS AND THE PERCEIVED PSYCHOSOCIAL AND ACADEMIC OUTCOMES OF U.S. CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS
No full textData from the 2007 National Survey of Children’s Health were used to examine a model of the ways in which neighborhood structural characteristics and social processes (NSCSP) impact children’s (age = 6–11; N = 27,752) and adolescents’ (age = 12–17; N = 36,233) social adjustment and school engagement via parenting and family processes (i.e., parent–child interactions).The questions investigated were: how are distinct aspects of NSCSP associated with parental stress and well-being, and with youth social adjustment and school engagement? Are parental stress and well-being linked with family processes, and are family processes predictive of youth social adjustment and school engagement? Finally, does age moderate the associations linking NSCSP to developmental outcomes via parenting stress and well-being and family processes? Results from a multigroup structural equation model supported the general nature of hypothesized relationships: distinct aspects of NSCSP were differentially predictive of children and adolescents’ social adjustment and school engagement. Furthermore, the direct effects of NSCSP were mediated (some partially and others completely) by parenting stress and well-being and family processes. Finally, age moderated the effects of social cohesion on both social adjustment and school engagement; as well, age moderated the effects of parenting stress and well-being on family processes, and on the effects of family processes on social adjustment and school engagement
