Isaac William Martin
I am an associate professor in the Department of Sociology and the
Urban Studies and Planning Program at the University of California, San
Diego.
I study how social protest affects the distribution of resources by
democratic states. My first book, The
Permanent Tax Revolt, won the
President's Book Award from the Social Science History Association, and
received an honorable mention for the Distinguished Scholarship Award
of the Pacific Sociological Association. I have also co-edited two
books about the history and politics of taxation, and have published
articles about social movements and public policy in the American
Journal of Sociology, the Law and Society Review,
and the Urban Affairs
Review.
