Since the earliest days of the pandemic, care work has been thrust into the national spotlight. The notion of care seems simple enough. Care is about nurturing, feeding, nursing, assisting, and loving human beings. It is "the work that makes all other work possible." But as historian Premilla Nadasen argues, we have only begun to understand the massive role it plays in our lives and our economy.

Story0
Spanning 400 years, Drax of Drax Hall is a story of a plantation owning dynasty that has never been told. It all started when James Drax, one of the first settlers in Barbados in 1627, founded the British sugar industry. His descendants went on to write the book on how to run a slave plantation. For more than two hundred years, the family enslaved up to 330 people at any time and became enormously rich.

Sociologist Ruth Glass coined the term gentrification in the 1960s to mark the displacement of working-class residents in London neighborhoods by the professional classes. The Death and Life of Gentrification traces how the word has far outgrown Glass's meaning, becoming a socially charged metaphor for cultural appropriation, upscaling, and the loss of authenticity.

Story0
Mainstream conceptions of social work usually consider it to fall within the framework of particular legal and societal contexts. As such, it is presented with boundaries for legitimate action even as it espouses principles that may require it to challenge these boundaries. How does one do social work in legal and societal contexts that challenge these principles with institutional and state-mandated exclusion and discrimination? Should social workers simply act within the bounds of the law in line with their professional sanction and mandate?

Abramowitsch hat eine, der Emir von Abu Dhabi auch, Jeff Bezos sowieso: Superyachten sind Ausweis der Zugehörigkeit zum Club der "lucky few". Sie ermöglichen grenzenlose Mobilität und exklusiven Geltungskonsum. Zugleich sind sie schwimmende Umweltsünden. Sie verbrennen Unmengen Treibstoff, ihre Anker zerstören kostbare Flora. Und sie sind Spielfelder obszöner Ungleichheit: Während ihre Besitzer zu den einflussreichsten Menschen der Welt gehören, ist das Bordpersonal oft Willkür und Rechtlosigkeit ausgeliefert.

Wie wollen und werden wir zukünftig arbeiten? Die tradierten Modelle funktionieren nicht mehr: Während die einen von ihrer Erwerbsarbeit kaum leben können, leiden viele Bereiche unter Arbeits- und Fachkräftemangel. Arbeit ist zudem eine Frage der Solidarität: Der Applaus für "systemrelevante Berufe" war von kurzer Dauer, die Care-Arbeit - vor allem von Frauen - hält das System am Laufen, wird aber weder angemessen entlohnt noch gesellschaftlich gewürdigt. Für die "Generation Z" zählt Work-Life-Balance mehr als die 40-Stunden-Woche.

Two decades into the twenty-first century, the stagnation of living standards has become the defining trend of American life. Life expectancy has declined, economic inequality has soared, and, after some progress, the Black-white wage gap is once again as large as it was in the 1950s. How did this happen in the world's most powerful country? And what happened to the "American dream"? Pulitzer Prize-winning writer David Leonhardt examines the past century of American history, from the Great Depression to today's Great Stagnation, in search of an answer.

Paola Mastrocola e Luca Ricolfi per la prima volta insieme in un libro per denunciare a due voci il paradossale e tragico abbaglio della scuola democratica, che, nata per salvare i più deboli, oggi di fatto ne annega le speranze. Due voci, di cui una lancia un’ipotesi e l’altra la raccoglie, provandola con la forza dei dati, testandola con modelli matematici e arrivando alla conferma. Sì, è così: una scuola facile e di bassa qualità allarga il solco fra ceti alti e ceti bassi. Un disastro, di cui rendere conto e chiedere scusa, ai ragazzi e alle loro famiglie.

Wir müssen das individuelle Wohl wieder stärker in Beziehung zum Wohl der Allgemeinheit setzen und Armut, Glück, Klimakrise und Demokratie mehr denn je zu politischen Kampfzonen erklären. Für ein gutes Leben für alle. Jean-Philippe Kindler ist auf der Suche nach neuen gesellschaftlichen Konzepten. Er geht mit sich, seiner Generation und den Linken genauso hart ins Gericht wie mit den Konservativen und dem Kapitalismus – ein wütendes, inspirierendes, langersehntes Hörbuch.

Neste best-seller internacional, a jornalista Isabel Wilkerson, vencedora do prêmio Pulitzer, compara os Estados Unidos, a Índia e a Alemanha nazista, revelando como nosso mundo foi moldado pela noção de casta — e como suas hierarquias rígidas e arbitrárias nos dividem ainda hoje. Escrito de modo criativo e original, Casta fornece pistas importantes para entender a crise da democracia nas sociedades ocidentais e o que está por trás dos protestos antirracistas que assumiram dimensões globais após o assassinato de George Floyd.

« Les hommes sont plus riches que les femmes. Dès l’enfance, les garçons reçoivent plus d’argent de poche que les filles. Adultes, à poste égal, les femmes sont moins bien payées que les hommes. Et le couple accentue encore les inégalités : au cours de la vie à deux, l’écart ne cesse de se creuser, sans que ni l’une ni l’autre ne s’en rende compte. Ou bien préfère l’ignorer. Chaque fois, il y a des explications et une combinaison de “bonnes raisons” mais le tableau général est accablant. J’écris depuis des années sur les violences sexuelles, le travail domestique, l’invisibilisation des femmes.

Growing up poor, Deborah Dundas knew what it meant to want, to be hungry, and to long for social and economic dignity; she understood the crushing weight of having nothing much expected of you. But even after overcoming many of the usual barriers faced by lower- and working-class people, she still felt anxious about her place, and even in relatively safe spaces reluctant to broach the subject of class. While new social movements have generated open conversation about gender and racism, discussions of class rarely include the voices of those most deeply affected: the working class and poor.
