Meritocracy and Its Discontentsinvestigates the wider social, political, religious, and economic dimensions of the Gaokao, China's national college entrance exam, as well as the complications that arise from its existence. Each year, some nine million high school seniors in China take the Gaokao, which determines college admission and provides a direct but difficult route to an urban lifestyle for China's hundreds of millions of rural residents. But with college graduates struggling to find good jobs, some are questioning the exam's legitimacy—and, by extension, the fairness of Chinese society. Chronicling the experiences of underprivileged youth, Zachary M. Howlett's research illuminates how people remain captivated by the exam because they regard it as fateful—an event both consequential and undetermined. He finds that the exam enables people both to rebel against the social hierarchy and to achieve recognition within it.
In Meritocracy and Its Discontents, Howlett contends that the Gaokao serves as a pivotal rite of passage in which people strive to personify cultural virtues such as diligence, composure, filial devotion, and divine favor.

Описание: Dear future Pressure Cooker addict, We received our first pressure cooker in November of 2015 and we have been hooked ever since. An electric pressure cooker allows you to cook food under pressure thus reducing the cooking time dramatically. It has been a tool that has completely revolutionized our kitchen. We can make things from scratch in a fraction of the time (so we know what is actually going in to it) and cook big batches in advance so we always have healthy meals at the ready.We really just wanted to create a recipe book that would give people everyday recipes. Recipes that you would actually use, that use everyday ingredients. A book that anyone could pick up, follow along and be confident about cooking food that actually tastes good.We went a step further and included a 7-day challenge and shopping guide so that you can see how versatile this machine is. You can use it for every meal throughout the week. The Pressure Cooker is a tool that you will actually use and is not a gimmick.We wish you the best with your plant-based journey.Hannah & Derek

Why do we have sex education? For whom does it exist, and who is it against? This book explores these questions, ultimately calling into question the very existence of sex education itself. The analysis is centred on the marginalised lives of sex workers. This focus allows us to see sex education and sex work in a new light and provides insights into the implications of sex education in public schools and teacher education. By considering the relationship between sex education and sex work, Caitlin Howlett reveals the way in which sex education exists as a form of state violence, and continues to maintain close ties to sexism, racism, colonialism, and capitalism. Drawing on Foucauldian genealogy, feminist history, epistemology, post-humanism, and queer of color critique, Howlett calls for an end to sex education as a federally funded project and argues for new pedagogical approaches to educating about sex, gender, and sexuality in schools.
