    The France of the Little-Middles : A Suburban Housing Development in Greater Paris (2016)
    New York, NY : [s.n.]
    Details
    ISBN: 9781785332296
    Language: Undetermined
    Pages: 224 p.
    Edition: 1st edition
    Series Statement: Anthropology of Europe 1
    Keywords: Sociology
    Abstract: The Poplars housing development in suburban Paris is home to what one resident called the "Little-Middles" – a social group on the tenuous border between the working- and middle- classes. In the 1960s The Poplars was a site of upward social mobility, which fostered an egalitarian sense of community among residents. This feeling of collective flourishing was challenged when some residents moved away, selling their homes to a new generation of upwardly mobile neighbors from predominantly immigrant backgrounds. This volume explores the strained reception of these migrants, arguing that this is less a product of racism and xenophobia than of anxiety about social class and the loss of a sense of community that reigned before.

    What We Now Know About Race and Ethnicity (2015)
    New York, NY : [s.n.]
    Details
    ISBN: 9781782386131
    Language: Undetermined
    Pages: 178 p.
    Edition: 1st edition
    Keywords: Sociology
    Abstract: Attempts of nineteenth-century writers to establish "race" as a biological concept failed after Charles Darwin opened the door to a new world of knowledge. Yet this word already had a place in the organization of everyday life and in ordinary English language usage. This book explains how the idea of race became so important in the USA, generating conceptual confusion that can now be clarified. Developing an international approach, it reviews references to "race," "racism," and "ethnicity" in sociology, anthropology, philosophy, and comparative politics and identifies promising lines of research that may make it possible to supersede misleading notions of race in the social sciences.

    Social Bonds as Freedom : Revisiting the Dichotomy of the Universal and the Particular (2015)
    New York, NY : [s.n.]
    Details
    ISBN: 9781782386940
    Language: Undetermined
    Pages: 296 p.
    Edition: 1st edition
    Keywords: Sociology
    Abstract: Central to discussions of multiculturalism and minority rights in modern liberal societies is the idea that the particular demands of minority groups contradict the requirements of equality, anonymity, and universality for citizenship and belonging. The contributors to this volume question the significance of this dichotomy between the universal and the particular, arguing that it reflects how the modern state has instituted the basic rights and obligations of its members and that these institutions are undergoing fundamental transformations under the pressure of globalization. They show that the social bonds uniting groups constitute the means of our freedom, rather than obstacles to achieving the universal.

    Language and Identity Politics : A Cross-Atlantic Perspective (2015)
    New York, NY : [s.n.]
    Details
    ISBN: 9781782389439
    Language: Undetermined
    Pages: 228 p.
    Edition: 1st edition
    Keywords: Sociology
    Abstract: In an increasingly multicultural world, the relationship between language and identity remains a complicated and often fraught subject for most societies. The growing political salience of questions relating to language is evident not only in the expanded implementation of new policies and legislation, but also in heated public debates about national unity, collective identities, and the rights of linguistic minorities. By taking a comprehensive approach that considers both the inclusive and exclusive dimensions of linguistic identity across Europe and North America, the studies assembled here provide a sophisticated look at one of the global era's defining political dynamics.

    Enhancing Democracy : Public Policies and Citizen Participation in Chile (2014)

    Keywords: Sociology
    Abstract: Since the end of the Pinochet regime, Chilean public policy has sought to rebuild democratic governance in the country. This book examines the links between the state and civil society in Chile and the ways social policies have sought to ensure the inclusion of the poor in society and democracy. Although Chile has gained political stability and grown economically, the ability of social policies to expand democratic governance and participation has proved limited, and in fact such policies have become subordinate to an elitist model of democracy and resulted in a restrictive form of citizen participation.
