Paperback. Condition: New. Power and Resistance debunks the dominant neoliberal, hyper-individualist approach to society's problems that sees poverty as a result of laziness, environmental crises as a result of market demands for products that pollute, and Indigenous Peoples' struggles as a result of not assimilating. We argue that it is social inequality and oppression that are the underlying causes of social problems. In a society like ours, powerful groups make choices that benefit them and force those choices onto others, creating life problems for others and society as a whole. The powerful also have influence over what is and is not called a "social problem." Solving social problems requires changing the structures of inequality and oppression. For example, industrial corporate agriculture has created huge profits for a few gigantic food corporations but left much of the world hungry. But farmers and their allies are pushing back through agroecology - an agriculture based on local, small-scale, ecologically sustainable farming that brings eaters and growers closer to one another. The seventh edition of Power and Resistance includes new chapters on anti-Black racism in schools, Indigenous people and mental health, food security and sovereignty, and work in the gig economy.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Power and Resistance debunks the dominant neoliberal, hyper-individualist approach to society's problems, which claims that people are poor because they are lazy, environmental crises stem from individuals' consumption habits, and Indigenous Peoples are oppressed because they refuse to assimilate. We argue that it is social inequality and oppression that are the underlying causes of 'social problems.' Certain groups have the power to push through agendas that benefit them but harm other groups and society as a whole. Solving these issues is not about individual action: it requires changing the very structures of our society. In this volume, we dig down to the roots of these 'social problems' through case studies and contemporary examples, offering effective paths towards social justice. The seventh edition of Power and Resistance includes new chapters on anti-Black racism in schools, Indigenous Peoples and mental health, food security and sovereignty, and work in the gig economy.'.
