Описание:

Attempts of nineteenth-century writers to establish “race” as a biological concept failed after Charles Darwin opened the door to a new world of knowledge. Yet this word already had a place in the organization of everyday life and in ordinary English language usage. This book explains how the idea of race became so important in the USA, generating conceptual confusion that can now be clarified. Developing an international approach, it reviews references to “race,” “racism,” and “ethnicity” in sociology, anthropology, philosophy, and comparative politics and identifies promising lines of research that may make it possible to supersede misleading notions of race in the social sciences.

Описание: The current state of housing in the UK is in crisis, with house-prices and rents spiralling out of control, squalor in the private rented sector, a severe shortage of new affordable homes, overcrowding, and rising mortgage debts. But what caused the crisis and what can we do about it? In this book, established housing policy experts Rowland Atkinson and Keith Jacobs claim what we think we know about the housing crisis is wrong, and encourage readers to see the crisis as a result of the ‘property machine’ - a constellation of interests, made up of banks and developers, landlords, investors, homeowners and real estate agencies. The authors analyse the key social and economic forces that have shaped Britain’s housing crisis, exposing the roots of current problems such as rising homelessness, the lack of affordable housing, and insecurity in the private rental sector, before linking them to the choices made by successive governments to prioritise the interests of capital and the 'property machine' above social need. The authors conclude with innovative proposals to help alleviate the crisis, improve housing conditions and tackle the inequalities expressed in relation to personal housing wealth. Allowing for the establishment of a fairer, more equal society and a more stable economic future.
