Rich, Free, and Miserable: The Failure of Success in America
ISBN: 9781442200937 / Angielski / Twarda / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Compared to much of the rest of the world, America and its citizens are rich. But many people are also deeply miserable--at work, at home, or both. In this provocative book, author John Brueggemann unpacks why so many people are struggling, both emotionally and financially, in a nation that looks so prosperous on the surface. From a hospital patient reduced to a balance sheet to a parent working such long hours that he misses dinner, Brueggemann argues that market thinking has permeated every corner of our lives. In the pursuit of more and better, relationships erode, to the detriment of...

Undoing Privilege: Unearned Advantage in a Divided World
ISBN: 9781848130289 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For every group that is oppressed, another group is privileged. In Undoing Privilege, Bob Pease argues that privilege, as the other side of oppression, has received insufficient attention in both critical theories and in the practices of social change. As a result, dominant groups have been allowed to reinforce their dominance.
Undoing Privilege explores the main sites of privilege, from Western dominance, class elitism, and white and patriarchal privilege to the less-examined sites of heterosexual and able-bodied privilege. Pease points out that while the vast majority of people may be... For every group that is oppressed, another group is privileged.

Cultural Consumption, Classification and Power
ISBN: 9780415614719 / Angielski / Twarda / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When social scientists in the 1970s began to identify the positive and constructive role of cultural practices in the operation of power, Pierre Bourdieu advanced a highly influential and subsequently controversial account.

Social Class and Marxism : Defences and Challenges
ISBN: 9781859281420 / Angielski / Twarda / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In recent years historians and other social scientists have widely questioned the continued relevance of social class - as historical relationship, as sociological category, as philosophical concept, and in terms of its enduring political significance. The success of the British Conservative Party since 1979, combined with the weaknesses and failures of the Labour movement, have led historians and social scientists to reconsider the general nature of connections between the 'social' and the 'political' and the specific relations between the working class and socialist and Labour politics....

ISBN: 9781608193417 / Angielski / Miękka / 374 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Inklusion /Exklusion: Rhetorik, Körper, Macht
ISBN: 9783828204607 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Die Unterscheidung Inklusion / Exklusion dominiert wie kaum eine andere die zeit- und kulturdiagnostischen Debatten der vergangenen Jahre. Besonders systemtheoretische Ansätze, aber auch das weite Feld der sogenannten poststrukturalistischen Theorien sensibilisieren für die konstitutive Verknüpfung beider Seiten der Unterscheidung und die damit einhergehenden Dynamiken gesellschaftlicher Inklusions- und Exklusionsarrangements. Dass der systematische Einbezug einer differenztheoretischen Perspektive dabei auch die Theorien selbst vor zentrale Herausforderungen stellt, wird deutlich, wenn...

Inside the College Gates: How Class and Culture Matter in Higher Education
ISBN: 9780739148983 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. To date, scholars in higher education have examined the ways in which students' experiences in the classroom and the human capital they attain impact social class inequalities. In this book, Jenny Stuber argues that the experiential core of college life-the social and extra-curricular worlds of higher education-operates as a setting in which social class inequalities manifest and get reproduced. As college students form friendships and get involved in activities like Greek life, study abroad, and student government, they acquire the social and cultural resources that give them access to...

Barrios to Burbs: The Making of the Mexican American Middle Class
ISBN: 9780804788663 / Angielski / Miękka / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Too frequently, the media and politicians cast Mexican immigrants as a threat to American society. Given America's increasing ethnic diversity and the large size of the Mexican-origin population, an investigation of how Mexican immigrants and their descendants achieve upward mobility and enter the middle class is long overdue. Barrios to Burbs offers a new understanding of the Mexican American experience. Vallejo explores the challenges that accompany rapid social mobility and examines a new indicator of incorporation, a familial obligation to "give back" in social and financial...
