Описание: In this book, Das presents a class-based perspective on the economic and political situation in contemporary India in a globalizing world. It deals with the specificities of India’s capitalism and neoliberalism, as well as poverty/inequality, geographically uneven development, technological change, and export-oriented, nature-dependent production. The book also deals with Left-led struggles in the form of the Naxalite/Maoist movement and trade-union strikes, and presents a non-sectarian Left critique of the Left. It also discusses the politics of the Right expressed as fascistic tendencies, and the question of what is to be done.
The book applies abstract theoretical ideas to the concrete situation in India, which, in turn, inspires rethinking of theory. Das unabashedly shows the relevance of class theory that takes seriously the matter of oppression/domination of religious minorities and lower castes.

Описание: Frameworks of Inequality: An Intersectional Perspective provides students with research-based articles that address the various ways society, institutions, and individuals experience and move through unjust practices that have been found as normative and intentional. Readers learn how systems of oppression lead to and exacerbate the way inequality impacts social experiences, especially with regard to the access (or lack thereof) afforded to particular individuals or groups. The readings in Section 1 help to define social inequality and speak to the value of viewing issues of inequality through an intersectional framework. In Section 2, students read about how race, sexuality, and gender have been conceptualized, theorized, and applied to social life, including the ways that sociologists research social inequality. Section 3 describes the impact social inequality has in our lives. By examining institutions and interactions, the text considers how social inequalities operate within these contexts. The final section looks to the future, featuring readings on how to create positive social change. The anthology provides students with a glossary of terms and discussion questions for each reading. Featuring scholarly, engaging content, Frameworks of Inequality is well suited for courses in sociology, especially those that explore social inequality, wealth, power, status, and social stratification.
