Professor Dolgon Wins ASA Book Award

Worcester State College (WSC) Professor Corey Dolgon has been honored with an American Sociological Association (ASA) Marxist Section award for his book, The End of the Hamptons: Scenes From the Class Struggle in America's Paradise.

Each year the ASA honors outstanding scholars and scholarship in the field of Sociology. ASA Sections administer more than 90 additional Section Awards, most of which are presented during the ASA Annual Meeting each August.

This superb book focuses on current controversies in the Hamptons. . . . Dolgon's treatment of these issues is carefully researched, richly detailed, and original, and presented in a beautifully clear narrative. - David Halle in Contemporary Sociology

Dolgon tells a history that is balanced and agenda-free. - Foreword Magazine

[A] very good book. It offers the reader an insightful political-economic analysis of eastern Long Island's microcosm of a class and ethnically divided society. . . . This is a fascinating book for scholars interested in how all these factors play out in a fabled locality. - Antipode, Susan S. Fainstein, Columbia University
