The Accordion Family: Boomerang Kids, Anxious Parents, and the Private Toll of Global Competition
ISBN: 9780807007457 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Why are adults in their twenties and thirties stuck in their parents' homes in the world's wealthiest countries? There's no question that globalization has drastically changed the cultural landscape across the world. The cost of living is rising, and high unemployment rates have created an untenable economic climate that has severely compromised the path to adulthood for young people in their twenties and thirties. And there's no end in sight. Families are hunkering down, expanding the reach of their households to envelop economically vulnerable young adults. Acclaimed sociologist...

Laid Off, Laid Low: Political and Economic Consequences of Employment Insecurity
ISBN: 9780231146043 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Laid Off, Laid Low provides a sobering portrait of the ailing American labor system and the social and political consequences of increasing job insecurity. It proves that the health of the labor market is not a transitory issue brought low by the factors of recession, but a serious concern reflecting deep structural problems in American society. In this book, economists, sociologists, and public policy and political scientists reveal how the American labor market has grown particularly problematic for new job-seekers, trends that are not obvious when averaging the entire population....

No Shame in My Game: The Working Poor in the Inner City
ISBN: 9780375703799 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "Powerful and poignant.... Newman's message is clear and timely." --The Philadelphia Inquirer
In No Shame in My Game, Harvard anthropologist Katherine Newman gives voice to a population for whom work, family, and self-esteem are top priorities despite all the factors that make earning a living next to impossible--minimum wage, lack of child care and health care, and a desperate shortage of even low-paying jobs. By intimately following the lives of nearly 300 inner-city workers and job seekers for two yearsin Harlem, Newman explores a side of poverty often ignored by media... "Powerful and poignant....

Who Cares?: Public Ambivalence and Government Activism from the New Deal to the Second Gilded Age
ISBN: 9780691135632 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Americans like to think that they look after their own, especially in times of hardship. Particularly for the Great Depression and the Great Society eras, the collective memory is one of solidarity and compassion for the less fortunate. Who Cares? challenges this story by examining opinion polls and letters to presidents from average citizens. This evidence, some of it little known, reveals a much darker, more impatient attitude toward the poor, the unemployed, and the dispossessed during the 1930s and 1960s. Katherine Newman and Elisabeth Jacobs show that some of the social... Americans like to think that they look after their own, especially in times of hardship.

Falling from Grace: Downward Mobility in the Age of Affluence
ISBN: 9780520218420 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 342 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Over the last three decades, millions of people have slipped through a loophole in the American dream and become downwardly mobile as a result of downsizing, plant closings, mergers, and divorce: the middle-aged computer executive laid off during an industry crisis, blue-collar workers phased out of the post-industrial economy, middle managers whose positions have been phased out, and once-affluent housewives stranded with children and a huge mortgage as the result of divorce. Anthropologist Katherine S. Newman interviewed a wide range of men, women, and children who experienced a precipitous...

Chutes and Ladders: Navigating the Low-Wage Labor Market
ISBN: 9780674027534 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Now that the welfare system has been largely dismantled, the fate of America's poor depends on what happens to them in the low-wage labor market. In this timely volume, Katherine S. Newman explores whether the poorest workers and families benefited from the tight labor markets and good economic times of the late 1990s. Following black and Latino workers in Harlem, who began their work lives flipping burgers, she finds more good news than we might have expected coming out of a high-poverty neighborhood. Many adult workers returned to school and obtained trade certificates, high school...

After Freedom
ISBN: 9780807047507 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Twenty years after the end of apartheid, a new generation is building a multiracial democracy in South Africa but remains mired in economic inequality and political conflict.
The death of Nelson Mandela in 2013 arrived just short of the twentieth anniversary of South Africa s first free election, reminding the world of the promise he represented as the nation s first Black president. Despite significant progress since the early days of this new democracy, frustration is growing as inequalities that once divided the races now grow within them as well. In"After Freedom," award-winning... Twenty years after the end of apartheid, a new generation is building a multiracial democracy in South Africa but remains mired in economic inequality...

Law and Economic Organization: A Comparative Study of Preindustrial Studies
ISBN: 9780521289665 / Angielski / Miękka / 1983 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The question why certain kinds of legal institutions are found in certain kinds of societies has been little explored by anthropologists. In this book Katherine Newman examines a sample of some sixty different preindustrial societies, distributed across the world, in an attempt to explain why their legal systems vary. The key to understanding this variation, Professor Newman argues, is to be found in economic organization. Adopting a Marxian, or materialist, approach, she draws on original ethnographic sources for each culture in order to investigate how legal processes and institutions...

Taxing the Poor: Doing Damage to the Truly Disadvantagedvolume 7
ISBN: 9780520269675 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book looks at the way we tax the poor in the United States, particularly in the American South, where poor families are often subject to income taxes, and where regressive sales taxes apply even to food for home consumption. Katherine S. Newman and Rourke L. O Brien argue that these policies contribute in unrecognized ways to poverty-related problems like obesity, early mortality, the high school dropout rates, teen pregnancy, and crime. They show how, decades before California s passage of Proposition 13, many southern states implemented legislation that makes it almost impossible to...

Fifteen Sermons Preached before the University of Oxford Between A.D. 1826 and 1843
ISBN: 9780268009960 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. These remarkable sermons by John Henry Newman (1801-1890) were first published at Oxford in 1843, two years before he was received into the Roman Catholic Church. Published here in its entirety is the third edition of 1872 for which Newman added an additional sermon, bracketed notes, and, importantly, a comprehensive, condensed Preface. In her introduction, noted Newman scholar Mary Katherine Tillman considers the volume as an integral whole, showing how all of the sermons systematically relate to the central theme of the faith-reason relationship.

Discrimination in an Unequal World
ISBN: 9780199732173 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Is globalization making our world more equal, or less? Proponents of globalization argue that it is helping and that in a competitive world, no one can afford to discriminate except on the basis of skills. Opponents counter that globalization does nothing but provide a meritocratic patina on a consistently unequal distribution of opportunity. Yet, despite the often deafening volume of the debate, there is surprisingly little empirical work available on the extent to which the process of globalization over the past quarter century has had any effect on discrimination. Tackling this challenge,...

Rampage: The Social Roots of School Shootings
ISBN: 9780465051045 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In the last decade, school shootings have decimated communities and terrified parents, teachers, and children in even the most "family friendly" American towns and suburbs. These tragedies appear to be the spontaneous acts of disconnected teens, but this important book argues that the roots of violence are deeply entwined in the communities themselves. Rampage challenges the "loner theory" of school violence and shows why so many adults and students miss the warning signs that could prevent it.
