Amid increasing hardship and limited employment options, poor urban youth are developing creative online strategies to make ends meet. Using such social media platforms as YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram, they're capitalizing on the public's fascination with the ghetto and gang violence. But with what consequences? Ballad of the Bullet follows the Corner Boys, a group of 30 or so young men on Chicago's South Side who have hitched their dreams of success to the creation of "drill music" (slang for "shooting music").

Parasite : nom masculin. « Organisme qui se nourrit strictement aux dépens d’un organisme hôte d’une espèce différente ». Les parasites ne sont pas ceux que l’on croit. La véritable classe parasite est celle qui est située au sommet du corps social, cette classe bourgeoise qui a envahi la société tout entière, rachetant ses médias, finançant ses hommes politiques, exploitant ses travailleurs au plus bas prix possible. En retour, cette classe ne nous apporte rien. Pire, elle nous coûte bien plus cher qu’elle ne nous rapporte. Elle nuit plus qu’elle brille.

In Privilege Lost, Jessi Streib traces the lives of over 100 youth born into the upper-middle-class. Following them for over 10 years as they transition from teens to young adults, Streib examines who falls from the upper-middle-class, how, and why don't they see it coming. In doing so, she reveals the patterned ways that individuals' resources and identities push them onto mobility paths - and the complicated choices youth make between staying true to themselves and staying in their class position.

Haben wir ohne reiche Eltern keine Chance mehr? In kaum einem anderen westlichen Land ist Vermögen so ungleich verteilt wie in Deutschland. Die Schere geht immer weiter auf – aufgrund steigender Mieten und Lebensmittelpreise, weil heutzutage jeder Paketzusteller prozentual mehr von seinem Lohn abgibt als ein Milliardär, aber auch weil Steuern auf Vermögen runtergeschraubt werden und die Reichen unaufhörlich reicher werden. Diese Ungerechtigkeit ist gesellschaftliches Dynamit. Reichtum durch Arbeit? Fast unmöglich. Jeder ist seines Glückes Schmied? Nur im Märchen.

A Room of His Own sheds light on the mysterious ways of male associational culture as it examines such topics as fraternity, sophistication, nostalgia, social capital, celebrity, gossip, and male professionalism. The story of clubland (and the literature it generated) begins with Britain's military heroes home from the Napoleonic campaign and quickly turns to Dickens's and Thackeray's acrimonious Garrick Club Affair.

Story0
Race isn’t real. But it changed the world. This book is the full history of how, and why, we made it up. From ancient tribal instincts to Enlightenment pseudoscience, from slavery and empire to redlining and algorithmic bias, Black and White walks through the invention of race as a system: where it started, how it spread, and why it still shapes everything. Biology didn’t create race. Power did. And the only way to dismantle the system is to understand how it was built. Brutal, clear, and global in scope, Black and White is a bullet through the myth and a blueprint for seeing through the lie.

In Dreams of the Overworked, Christine M. Beckman and Melissa Mazmanian offer vivid sketches of daily life for nine families, capturing what it means to live, work, and parent in a world of impossible expectations, now amplified unlike ever before by smart devices. We are invited into homes and offices, where we recognize the crushing pressure of unraveling plans, and the healing warmth of being together. Moreover, we witness the constant planning that goes into a "good" day, often with the aid of phones and apps.

Le précariat - contraction de « précarité » et « prolétariat » - est cette nouvelle classe sociale bercée par l'insécurité économique, l'angoisse quotidienne et l'assistanat. Pour Guy Standing elle représente 40 % de notre société. Inquiète, humiliée, énervée, cette classe sociale polymorphe est aujourd'hui la vraie menace pour notre équilibre social, économique et politique.
