Paperback. Condition: New. In Migration, Reproduction and Society, Alejandro I. Canales offers a theoretical model for understanding the dilemmas presented by migration in the transformation of contemporary society. Aging and changing demographics in advanced societies make economic and social reproduction dependent upon the contributions made by immigration. However, these same demographic processes are conducive to ethnic transformations. The political dilemma facing advanced societies is that immigration is required to ensure their reproduction, but this entails becoming multicultural societies where the political hegemony of ethnic and demographic majorities becomes radically subverted. This paves the way to a pervasive political conflict already evident in the current immigration crisis in Europe just as in the revival of racism and xenophobia in the United States.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Against Inequality offers a bold theoretical and political proposal for social emancipation.The book recasts social emancipation not only as an opportunity to build conditions of equality in contexts of freedom, not only for ethical but essentially political foundations. To achieve this, the authors confront inequality in two ways: as a social phenomenon (and, therefore, historically situated and structured) and through critical reflection on the concepts, categories, indicators and frameworks of its understanding. In this sense, they propose a critical reflection of the ways in which it has been thought theoretically and politically at various times, with special reference to the way in which it has been conceived in modern, capitalist society.

Rustica (tapa blanda). Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Nuevo. 01. Asumida únicamente como la diferencia entre ricos y pobres ?es decir, un problema de distribución de ingresos?, la desigualdad parecería ser tan sólo una consecuencia del sistema económico. Sin embargo, su comportamiento reproductivo y su presencia en todos los ámbitos la convierten, más que en consecuencia, en una pieza estructurante del sistema: baste mencionar la lucha de clases, el patriarcado y el racismo, las desigualdades geopolíticas o las confrontaciones intergeneracionales, para observar los diferentes modos en que se constituye. El presente libro ofrece una propuesta teórica y política de emancipación social, vista como una oportunidad para construir condiciones de igualdad en contextos de libertad, no sólo por fundamentos éticos sino esencialmente políticos. Para lograrlo, los autores confrontan la desigualdad en dos vías: como un fenómeno social (y, por tanto, históricamente situado y estructurado) y mediante la reflexión crítica de los conceptos, categorías, indicadores y marcos de su entendimiento. No se trata tanto de un estudio de la desigualdad en sí misma, cuanto de una reflexión crítica. LIBRO.…

Bolsillo. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Nuevo. 01. En El Malestar con las Migraciones , el autor ofrece un modelo deentendimiento teórico que confronta el actual malestar que se generaen las sociedades desarrolladas respecto a las migracionesinternacionales. El dilema político al que se enfrentan las sociedades avanzadas es que para asegurar su reproducción social, económica ydemográfica, deben necesariamente estar abiertas a la inmigración,pero esto conlleva la posibilidad de convertirse en sociedadesmulticulturales donde la hegemonía política de las actuales mayoríasétnicas y demográficas se subviertan radicalmente. Esta es una de lasbases más importantes de un conflicto político cuyos signos ya seadvierten en el actual contexto político, caracterizado por elresurgimiento del racismo y la xenofobia en Europa y Estados Unidos.
