The War Against the Poor: The Underclass and Antipoverty Policy
ISBN: 9780465019915 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In his withering dissection of the origins and misuse of the term "underclass" to stereotype and stigmatize the poor, Herbert J. Gans shows how this ubiquitous label has relegated a wide variety of people--welfare recipients, the working poor, teenage mothers, drug addicts, the homeless, and others--to a single condemned class, feared and despised by the rest of society. Probing the deep psychological, social, and political reasons why Americans seek to indict millions of poor citizens as "undeserving," Gans calls for a cease-fire in the undeclared war against the poor. He concludes with a...

Democracy and the News
ISBN: 9780195173277 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. American democracy was founded on the belief that ultimate power rests in an informed citizenry. But that belief appears naive in an era when private corporations manipulate public policy and the individual citizen is dwarfed by agencies, special interest groups, and other organizations that have a firm grasp on real political and economic power.
In Democracy and the News, one of America's most astute social critics explores the crucial link between a weakened news media and weakened democracy. Building on his 1979 classic media critique Deciding What's News, Herbert Gans shows how, with... American democracy was founded on the belief that ultimate power rests in an informed citizenry.

Popular Culture and High Culture: An Analysis and Evaluation of Taste
ISBN: 9780465026098 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 266 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Is NYPD Blue a less valid form of artistic expression than a Shakespearean drama? Who is to judge and by what standards?In this new edition of Herbert Gans's brilliantly conceived and clearly argued landmark work, he builds on his critique of the universality of high cultural standards. While conceding that popular and high culture have converged to some extent over the twenty-five years since he wrote the book, Gans holds that the choices of typical Ivy League graduates, not to mention Ph.D.'s in literature, are still very different from those of high school graduates, as are the...

People, Plans, and Policies: Essays on Poverty, Racism, and Other National Urban Problems
ISBN: 9780231074025 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 383 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The primary theme of this collection of essays is that the cities' basic problems are poverty and racism, and until these concerns are addressed by bringing about racial equality, creating jobs, and instituting other reforms, the generally low quality of urban life will persist. Gans argues that the individual must work to alter society. He believes that not only must parents have jobs to improve their children's school performance, but that the country needs a modernized "New Deal," a more labor-intensive economy, and a thirty-two hour work week to achieve full employment. Other...
