Peter Rose has spent a lifetime exploring patterns of culture, examining issues of race and ethnicity, working with refugees, teaching sociology, and roaming the world. In Guest Appearances and Other Travels in Time and Space, he reflects on his adventures and the formative experiences that led him to a fascination with lives that seem quite unlike our own. Guest Appearances and Other Travels in Time and Space introduces us to many of those whom Rose has met along the way, a cast of characters as colorful as it is diverse. It includes his music-loving mother; his tour guides in China, Germany, and Israel; Indochinese refugees he followed to the United States; the notorious murderer, Nathan Leopold; the simple tailor, Mr. David; and three writers for whom Rose has a special affinity: Philip Roth, John Updike, and Paul Theroux. Peter Rose gives us an entirely pleasurable and insightful look into the life of an American scholar actively involved in contemporary issues as he takes readers along on his field trips and guest appearances.

(With Few Reservations is a collection of forty-eight enga...)
With Few Reservations is a collection of forty-eight engaging commentaries that were written by the sociologist, traveler, and photographer, Peter Rose, editor of the magazine, SoGoNow.com. They offer lively takes on what a travel writer does, "Eats, Shoots, and Leaves", and vivid descriptions of what it is like to enjoy "Austrian Ambiance in the Green Mountains of Vermont" and "Italian Culture in a Swiss Canton." He helps us to understand the reason so many people are "Stoop-Shouldered in Sanibel" and have conversions in the Arizona desert. How do you enjoy "Moorish Arches and Other Spanish Delights" or spend quality time in "Sarajevo Today?" Come along on a "Northwest Passage across Europe," or take a cruise in "Liner Luxury" and sail on windjammers "Plain and Fancy." Visit many special venues - from Cape Cod to Cape Horn and Arizona to Zeeland, in the Netherlands. Go "Behind the Scenes" in the travel business with a knowledgeable expert. Several photo essays offer new insights relating to places and people-and offer some hindsight as well. These sojourns form the core of the forty-eight stories in With Few Reservations.

(The issues of race, immigration, refugee policies and int...)
The issues of race, immigration, refugee policies and inter-ethnic conflict are daily copy in the world's media; so, too, is the growing resistance to the presence of newcomers. In this timely and engrossing collection of his recent writings, internationally recognized sociologist Peter Rose addresses each of these subjects. Concerned mainly with U.S. policies and practices, his assessments range from an examination of the post-1965 immigration of Asians and Latinos to the rhetoric of resentment and the shifting meanings of "multiculturalism" for white and non-white Americans today. The title essay, Tempest-Tost, is about the general plight of refugees. It sets the stage for the second, more narrowly focused section of the book: the making and implementing of U.S. refugee policy and the experiences of those who escaped from Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos and who managed to resettle in the United States following the fall of Saigon. Here are informative meetings with United Nations officials and governmental representatives responsible for processing refugees; moving encounters with volunteers working for religious and secular relief agencies; and commentaries on many of those Rose met and observed in offices in Geneva, New York, Washington, and various west coast cities as well as in refugee centers and camps throughout southeast Asia. Included are interviews with caretakers, gatekeepers, guides and go-betweens, middle managers and directors of major refugee agencies, and some of those most affected by their forced migration, from a Lao family of simple tailors to Prince (now King) Norodom Sihanouk of Cambodia. Tempest-Tost ends with commentaries and critiques of a number of important books on minorities in America. Combining forty years as a social scientist, field researcher, and leading thinker on the problems of immigration, race, and ethnicity, with nearly as many years as an author, editor, and book reviewer, Peter Rose brings a unique set of prisms through which to assess the sociology of intergroup relations, the politics of rescue, and the writings of others on these subjects. His newest book illuminates the underlying issues that so stir the political waters.

(This volume of commentaries on racial and ethnic relation...)
This volume of commentaries on racial and ethnic relations is a sociological assessment of a changing society and a personal statement about many of the most pressing racial issues since the 1954 Brown-Supreme court decision. From the perspective of humanistic sociology, Peter Rose shows that sociology need not be a cold, artless science and argues that sociological enterprise should treat future as well as past and present issues.
