Theorising Social Change in Post-Soviet Countries

 

The book traces three main approaches to the sociology of post-Soviet societies: studies guided by neoliberal theory and/or practice; work which may be termed neoconservative in orientation, and which is often a response to the first; and a third type of work that is considered both critical and reflexive, and which seeks to transcend the limitations of the other approaches.

Beschrijving Theorising Social Change in Post-Soviet Countries

The book traces three main approaches to the sociology of post-Soviet societies: studies guided by neoliberal theory and/or practice; work which may be termed neoconservative in orientation, and which is often a response to the first; and a third type of work that is considered both critical and reflexive, and which seeks to transcend the limitations of the other approaches. The book is divided into three parts, addressing polity, culture and economy. In each section, authors endeavour to transcend both neoliberalism and neoconservatism, and reach for a third approach, 'critical social science'. This is a broad movement, and the authors vary in their own explanatory and normative ideas as they carve out frameworks that will enable them to develop a more rigorous and at the same time more comprehensive and critical understanding of social change.

The Poverty of the Ethnography of Poverty

In The Poverty of the Ethnography of Poverty, Loïc Wacquant dissects how sociologists who carry out field studies of the poor write about race, class, and morality in the city's underbelly; the blinders and biases that affect their research and how to overcome them; and how to become aware of these biases and develop a better meshing of theory and research.

Single Black Mother

The life conditions endured by unmarried Black mothers in the United States reflects the deep-seated ills of anti-Black racism, systemic poverty, disenfranchisement, and state violence that adversely impact the daily lives of most Black Americans.
