Description
The gap between rich and poor, included and excluded, is steadily growing as inequality becomes one of the most pressing issues of our time. This new edition of Fractured Identities explores current patterns of inequality in the context of globalization, recession, and neoliberal policies. Within a framework of intersectionality, Harriet Bradley discusses various theories and concepts for understanding inequalities of class, gender, ethnicity, age, disability, non-heterosexual orientations, and religious affiliation. She argues that processes of fracturing, which complicate our individual identities, exist alongside social polarization, where the super-rich and long-term unemployed are at opposite ends of the social hierarchy. By examining these developments, Bradley shows how understanding and challenging them can help build a fairer and more socially inclusive society.
