Description
Know Your Place by Faiza Shaheen is a personal and statistical exploration of how society and economy are structured, defining life chances and perpetuating an ugly hierarchy. The author's own story serves as a powerful example of the barriers that can be overcome with hard work and determination. Yet, her success also highlights the inconvenient truth: social mobility is a fairy tale. The system currently in place will not give most people the chance of a secure and fulfilling life. This book is part memoir, part polemic, offering a thought-provoking look at how society defines your chances in life and what we can do about it.
