Título : The Politics of Gender after Socialism : A Comparative-Historical Essay Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: Gal, Susan, ; Kligman, Gail, Número de páginas: 1 online resource (168 pages) Il.: illustrations ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-1-4008-4300-8 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Etiquetas: Post-communism Europe, Eastern Postcommunisme Europe de l'Est Rôle selon le sexe Sex role SOCIAL SCIENCE Geschlechterrolle Sekserol Social conditions Social Sciences Sociale hervormingen Sociology, other Sociology Sozialwissenschaften, Soziologie, Anthropologie Clasificación: 305.3/0947 Resumen: Rights, Action, and Social Responsibility: Public debates surrounding immigration policy, climate change, international relations, and constitutional and human rights are currently at the forefront of our national discourse. Critical reasoning, supported through academic research is needed. As a result, De Gruyter, along with its partner presses, is making freely available books and journal articles across nine topical areas for all students and faculty. Broadening access to this scholarship enables more people to address these issues in an informed manner: it helps us combat false news sources, to consider the nature of truth and ethics, and to understand the struggles of all members of society
With the collapse of communism, a new world seemed to open for the peoples of East Central Europe. The possibilities this world presented, and the costs it exacted, have been experienced differently by men and women. Susan Gal and Gail Kligman explore these differences through a probing analysis of the role of gender in reshaping politics and social relations since 1989. The authors raise two crucial questions: How are gender relations and ideas about gender shaping political and economic change in the region? And what forms of gender inequality are emerging as a result? The book provides a rich understanding of gender relations and their significance in social and institutional transformations. Gal and Kligman offer a systematic comparison of East Central European gender relations with those of western welfare states, and with the presocialist, bourgeois past. Throughout this essay, the authors attend to historical comparisons as well as cross regional interactions and contrasts. Their work contributes importantly to the study of postsocialism, and to the broader feminist literature that critically examines how states and political-economic processes are gendered, and how states and markets regulate gender relationsEn línea: https://doi.org/10.1515/9781400843008 Link: http://biblio.unvm.edu.ar/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=31581 The Politics of Gender after Socialism : A Comparative-Historical Essay [texto impreso] / Gal, Susan, ; Kligman, Gail, . - [s.d.] . - 1 online resource (168 pages) : illustrations.

Título : Why We Vote: How Schools and Communities Shape Our Civic Life : How Schools and Communities Shape Our Civic Life Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: Campbell, David E., Número de páginas: 1 online resource (280 pages) Il.: illustrations ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-1-4008-3761-8 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Etiquetas: Community development Political participation POLITICAL SCIENCE Security Social exchange Voluntarism Bürgerliche Gesellschaft Erwachsener Gemeenschapszin Jugend Political Science, other Political Science Politieke participatie Politieke socialisatie Politik Politische Beteiligung Politische Sozialisation Social Sciences Verkiezingen Voluntarismus Wahlverhalten Civics & Citizenship Clasificación: 323/.042 Resumen: Rights, Action, and Social Responsibility: Public debates surrounding immigration policy, climate change, international relations, and constitutional and human rights are currently at the forefront of our national discourse.

Why do more people vote--or get involved in other civic and political activities--in some communities than in others? Why We Vote demonstrates that our communities shape our civic and political engagement, and that schools are especially significant communities for fostering strong civic norms. Much of the research on political participation has found that levels of participation are higher in diverse communities where issues important to voters are hotly contested. In this well-argued book, David Campbell finds support for this view, but also shows that homogenous communities often have very high levels of civic participation despite a lack of political conflict. Campbell maintains that this sense of civic duty springs not only from one's current social environment, but also from one's early influences. The degree to which people feel a sense of civic obligation stems, in part, from their adolescent experience. Being raised and thus socialized in a community with strong civic norms leads people to be civically engaged in adulthood. Campbell demonstrates how the civic norms within one's high school impact individuals' civic involvement--even a decade and a half after those individuals have graduated. Efforts within America's high schools to enhance young people's sense of civic responsibility could have a participatory payoff in years to come, the book concludes; thus schools would do well to focus more attention on building civic norms among their studentsEn línea: https://www.degruyter.com/doi/book/10.1515/9781400837618 Link: http://biblio.unvm.edu.ar/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=31730 Why We Vote: How Schools and Communities Shape Our Civic Life : How Schools and Communities Shape Our Civic Life [texto impreso] / Campbell, David E., . - [s.d.] . - 1 online resource (280 pages) : illustrations.

While we hear much about the "culture of poverty" that keeps poor black men poor, we know little about how such men understand their social position and relationship to the American dream. Moving beyond stereotypes, this book examines how twenty-six poverty-stricken African American men from Chicago view their prospects for getting ahead. It documents their definitions of good jobs and the good life--and their beliefs about whether and how these can be attained. In its pages, we meet men who think seriously about work, family, and community and whose differing experiences shape their views of their social world. Based on intensive interviews, the book reveals how these men have experienced varying degrees of exposure to more-privileged Americans--differences that ground their understandings of how racism and socioeconomic inequality determine their life chances. The poorest and most socially isolated are, perhaps surprisingly, most likely to believe that individuals can improve their own lot. By contrast, men who regularly leave their neighborhood tend to have a wider range of opportunities but also have met with more racism, hostility, and institutional obstacles--making them less likely to believe in the American Dream. Demonstrating how these men interpret their social world, this book seeks to de-pathologize them without ignoring their experiences with chronic unemployment, prison, and substance abuse. It shows how the men draw upon such experiences as they make meaning of the complex circumstances in which they strive to succeedEn línea: https://doi.org/10.1515/9781400841479 Link: http://biblio.unvm.edu.ar/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=31524 The Minds of Marginalized Black Men: Making Sense of Mobility, Opportunity, and Future Life Chances : Making Sense of Mobility, Opportunity, and Future Life Chances [texto impreso] / Young, Alford A., . - [s.d.] . - 1 online resource (288 pages) : illustrations.

Título : Urban Recycling and the Search for Sustainable Community Development Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: Weinberg, Adam S., ; Pellow, David N., ; Schnaiberg, Allan, Número de páginas: 1 online resource (232 pages) Il.: illustrations ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-1-4008-2389-5 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Etiquetas: Community development Recycling (Waste, etc.) Sustainable development Afvalverwerking Arbeidsomstandigheden Développement communautaire Développement durable Duurzame ontwikkeling Environmental Studies Opbouwwerk Recyclage (Déchets, etc.) Sociaal-economische ontwikkeling Social Science Social Sciences Sociology, other Sociology Sozialwissenschaften, Soziologie, Anthropologie POLITICAL SCIENCE Public Policy City Planning & Urban Development Clasificación: 307.1/4 Resumen: More Americans recycle than vote. And most do so to improve their communities and the environment. But do recycling programs advance social, economic, and environmental goals? To answer this, three sociologists with expertise in urban and environmental planning have conducted the first major study of urban recycling. They compare four types of programs in the Chicago metropolitan area: a community-based drop-off center, a municipal curbside program, a recycling industrial park, and a linkage program. Their conclusion, admirably elaborated, is that recycling can realize sustainable community development, but that current programs achieve few benefits for the communities in which they are located. The authors discover that the history of recycling mirrors many other urban reforms. What began in the 1960s as a sustainable community enterprise has become a commodity-based, profit-driven industry. Large private firms, using public dollars, have chased out smaller nonprofit and family-owned efforts. Perhaps most troubling is that this process was not born of economic necessity. Rather, as the authors show, socially oriented programs are actually more viable than profit-focused systems. This finding raises unsettling questions about the prospects for any sort of sustainable local development in the globalizing economy. Based on a decade of research, this is the first book to fully explore the range of impacts that recycling generates in our communities. It presents recycling as a tantalizing case study of the promises and pitfalls of community development. It also serves as a rich account of how the state and private interests linked to the global economy alter the terrain of local neighborhoods

Virtually all large-scale damage to the global environment is caused by economic activities, and the vast majority of economic planners in both business and government coordinate these activities on the basis of guidelines and prescriptions from neoclassical economic theory. In this hard-hitting book, Robert Nadeau demonstrates that the claim that neoclassical economics is a science comparable to the physical sciences is totally bogus and that our failure to recognize and deal with this fact constitutes the greatest single barrier to the timely resolution of the crisis in the global environment. Neoclassical economic theory is premised on the belief that the "invisible hand"-- Adam Smith's metaphor for forces associated with the operation of the "natural laws of economics"--regulates the workings of market economies. Nadeau reveals that Smith's understanding of these laws was predicated on assumptions from eighteenth-century metaphysics and that the creators of neoclassical economics incorporated this view of the "lawful" mechanisms of free-market systems into a mathematical formalism borrowed wholesale from mid-nineteenth-century physics. The strategy used by these economists, all of whom had been trained as engineers, was as simple as it was absurd--they substituted economic variables for the physical variables in the equations of this physics. Strangely enough, this claim was widely accepted and the fact that neoclassical economics originated in a bastardization of mid-nineteenth-century physics was soon forgotten.Nadeau makes a convincing case that the myth that neoclassical economic theory is a science has blindedEn línea: https://doi.org/10.7312/nade12798 Link: http://biblio.unvm.edu.ar/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=31722 The Wealth of Nature : How Mainstream Economics Has Failed the Environment [texto impreso] / Nadeau, Robert L . - [s.d.] . - 1 online resource.
