Opis

Calling for a broader new approach to social mobility research which goes beyond statistics and utilizes life stories and family case histories, this richly suggestive volume explores sociological issues such as transmission between family generations, how immigrants make good, how social elites survive revolutions, and the meanings of houses, places and dreams for mobility.

Recenzje

As an illustration of the potential value of qualitative approaches for revealing the dynamics and meanings of mobility, this is a useful and successful collection. - Andrew Miles. British Journal of Sociology. Spetember 1998.
