The Dignity of Working Men: Morality and the Boundaries of Race, Class, and Immigration
ISBN: 9780674009929 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Michele Lamont takes us into the world inhabited by working-class men--the world as they understand it. Interviewing black and white working-class men who, because they are not college graduates, have limited access to high-paying jobs and other social benefits, she constructs a revealing portrait of how they see themselves and the rest of society. Morality is at the center of these workers' worlds. They find their identity and self-worth in their ability to discipline themselves and conduct responsible but caring lives. These moral standards function as an alternative to economic... Michele Lamont takes us into the world inhabited by working-class men--the world as they understand it.

Cultivating Differences: Symbolic Boundaries and the Making of Inequality
ISBN: 9780226468143 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. How are boundaries created between groups in society? And what do these boundaries have to do with social inequality? In this pioneering collection of original essays, a group of leading scholars helps set the agenda for the sociology of culture by exploring the factors that push us to segregate and integrate and the institutional arrangements that shape classification systems. Each examines the power of culture to shape our everyday lives as clearly as does economics, and studies the dimensions along which boundaries are frequently drawn. The essays cover four topic areas: the...

This book provides a powerful new theoretical framework for understanding cross-national cultural differences. Researchers from France and America present eight comparative case studies to demonstrate how the people of these two different cultures mobilize national "repertoires of evaluation" to make judgments about politics, economics, morals and aesthetics.

The Cultural Territories of Race: Black and White Boundaries
ISBN: 9780226468365 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 436 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Even as America becomes more multiracial, the black-white divide remains central to understanding many patterns and tensions in contemporary society. Since the 1960s, however, social scientists concerned with this topic have been reluctant to discuss the cultural dimensions of racial inequality-not wanting to "blame the victim" for having "wrong values." The Cultural Territories of Race redirects this research tendency, employing today's more sophisticated methods of cultural analysis toward a new understanding of how cultural structures articulate the black/white problem. These...

Everyone in academia stresses quality. But what exactly is it, and how do professors identify it?

Reconsidering Culture and Poverty
ISBN: 9781412988988 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Culture has returned to the poverty research agenda. Over the past decade, sociologists, demographers, and even economists have begun asking questions about the role of culture in many aspects of poverty, at times even explaining the behavior of low-income populations in reference to cultural factors. Unlike their predecessors, contemporary researchers rarely claim that culture will sustain itself for multiple generations regardless of structural changes, and they almost never use the term pathology, which implied in an earlier era that people would cease to be poor if they changed...

Social Resilience in the Neoliberal Era
ISBN: 9781107659841 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. What is the impact of three decades of neoliberal narratives and policies on communities and individual lives? What are the sources of social resilience? This book offers a sweeping assessment of the effects of neoliberalism, the dominant feature of our times. It analyzes the ideology in unusually wide-ranging terms as a movement that not only opened markets but also introduced new logics into social life, integrating macro-level analyses of the ways in which neoliberal narratives made their way into international policy regimes with micro-level analyses of the ways in which individuals...
