In \u003ci\u003eCaste\u003c\/i\u003e, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Isabel Wilkerson provides a profound, eye-opening portrait of this hidden phenomenon. This is the story of how our world was shaped by caste, and how its rigid, arbitrary hierarchies still divide us today. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Linking the caste systems of America, India, and Nazi Germany, Wilkerson explores eight pillars that underlie caste systems across civilizations, including divine will, bloodlines, stigma, and more. Using riveting stories about people--including Martin Luther King, Jr., baseball''s Satchel Paige, a single father and his toddler son, Wilkerson herself, and many others--she shows the ways that the insidious undertow of caste is experienced every day. She documents how the Nazis studied the racial systems in America to plan their out-cast of the Jews; she discusses why the cruel logic of caste requires that there be a bottom rung for those in the middle to measure themselves against; she writes about the surprising health costs of caste, in depression and life expectancy, and the effects of this hierarchy on our culture and politics. Finally, she points forward to ways we can move beyond the artificial and destructive separations of human divisions, toward hope in our common humanity.    \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e''Required reading for all of humanity'' Oprah Winfrey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eIf you haven''t read it yet, you absolutely must. - Edward Enninful, \u003ci\u003eVogue\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e''An instant American classic'' Dwight Garner, \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eIf you haven't read \u003ci\u003eCaste\u003c\/i\u003e yet, you absolutely must\u003c\/b\u003e -- Edward Enninful * Vogue *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePowerful and timely...

It aims to understand how existing inequalities are exacerbated in crises and whether equality law has the tools to understand and address this contingency. Experience during the COVID-19 crisis shows that the pandemic has acted as a catalyst for ''exponential inequalities'' related to racism, xenophobia, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ageism, and ableism. Yet, the field of equality law (which is meant to be addressing such discrimination or inequality) has had little immediate relevance in mitigating these exponential inequalities. This is despite the fact that countries like the UK have a rather recent and state-of-the-art legislation in the field, namely the Equality Act 2010. Exponential Inequalities offers readers an understanding of how these inequalities came to be and how crises such as the global pandemic, the climate emergency, or the economic downturn, can exacerbate an already untenable situation. It illuminates both the structural and the conceptual, as well as the practical and doctrinal difficulties currently experienced in equality law, and discusses whether or not equality law even has the tools to both understand and then address this contingency. Written by a team of internationally recognized experts, Exponential Inequalities provides a comparative perspective on the functioning of equality laws across a range of contexts and jurisdictions and represents an essential read for scholars and policy makers alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is an informative and meaningful read for students, scholars and policy makers who are seeking to address inequalities. * Shaid Parveen, Associate Dean for Enterprise and External Engagement and Senior Teaching Fellow, Aston University. *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDavid B.

This trap is consequential for a host of racial and ethnic minority youth in schools, including Black Caribbean young people in London and New York City.Since the 1920s, Black Caribbeans in New York have been considered a high-achieving Black model minority. Conversely, since the 1950s, Black Caribbeans in London have been regarded as a chronically underachieving minority. In both contexts, however, it is often suggested that Caribbean culture informs their status, whether as a celebrated minority in the US or as a demoted minority in Britain.Drawing on rich observations, interviews and archives in London and New York City schools, Wallace suggests that the use of culture to justify Black Caribbean students'' achievement \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is an important contribution to our understanding of how discourses and practices of racial representation work to shape and perpetuate ethnic inequalities in our schools. Wallace's comparative ethnography of schools in London and New York offers a unique insight into how ideas of culture and identity are formed historically and politically, and how these are lived by those caught in the trap of ethnic expectations. With a sharp eye for detail and an ear for the voices of young people, teachers, and parents, Wallace breathes new life into an old, and seemingly intractable, problem. * Claire Alexander, Professor of Sociology, The University of Manchester *\u003cbr\u003eCultural explanations of the achievement gap, such as culturally responsive and culturally relevant pedagogy, are popular within schools, colleges, and universities. This visionary, timely, engaging, and informative book describes the limits of cultural explanations and how culture, class, and context interact to influence academic achievement. It is a compelling and essential read. * James A. Banks, Kerry and Linda Killinger Endowed Chair in Diversity Studies Emeritus, University of Washington, Seattle *\u003cbr\u003eThe Culture Trap exemplifies the beauty of cross-national research by deftly illuminating both the general and the particular of social forces across contexts. Wallace sharpens our understanding of the ways that different racial formations in the U.S. and Britain intersect with ethnic and class identity of Black Caribbean youth and permeate the walls of schools and classrooms. It's a compelling ethnography of the everyday lived experiences of second-generation immigrant students, which illuminates how 'ethnic expectations' influence their educational well-being. Many scholars and teachers of culture, race, ethnicity, and education will appreciate the informative, useful nature of Wallace's work. * Prudence L. Carter, Sarah and Joseph Jr. Dowling Professor of Sociology, Brown University *\u003cbr\u003eDerron Wallace has written a field-defining book. Comparing Black Caribbeans in London and New York, he shows how ethnic expectations, rooted in history, colonialism, and the proliferation of U.S. media culture, influence the incorporation and academic outcomes of second-generation Black Caribbean youth. Bursting with rich narrative accounts, powerful theoretical insights, and exceptional writing, this book will shape the sociology and education discourse on Black Caribbean students for years to come. Everyone who cares about race, ethnicity, education, and immigration should read this book. * John B. Diamond, Professor of Sociology and Education Policy, Brown University *\u003cbr\u003eHow to explain the markedly different educational experiences and levels of achievement of African-Caribbean youth in London and New York? Conceptual clarity alongside careful listening to the voices of Black youth, parents, and teachers is at the heart of Derron Wallace's timely and thoughtful analysis of the 'ethnic expectations' which serve as an alibi for racisms and reinforce inequalities. * Catherine Hall, Chair of the Centre for the Study of the Legacies of British Slavery, University College London *\u003cbr\u003eThis fascinating book takes us into two schools—one in New York City and one in London—where teachers use cultural narratives on the essential elements of Caribbean heritage towards very different goals—to highlight Black students' endless talents and possibilities in one setting and to stress the limited potential of Black adolescents in another. Beautifully written, gripping, and deeply interesting, The Culture Trap sheds new light on the mechanisms through which inequality is sustained. Highly recommended! * Annette Lareau, Professor of Sociology, University of Pennsylvania *\u003cbr\u003eThis brave, brilliant book takes no hostages. Beautifully evocative and richly theorized, The Culture Trap sets out a compelling argument for why culture should not be prioritized over structure in understandings of educational achievement. Weaving wonderful ethnographic narratives with stunning insights, the book brings a welcome clarity to the messy and highly contested morass that culture has become. For much needed illumination, this is the book to read—it is both an enormous pleasure and a revelation. * Diane Reay, Professor of Education, University of Cambridge *\u003cbr\u003eThe Culture Trap is a wonderful contribution to the comparative analysis of the ways in which black youth have been the subject of unequal schooling. Through a nuanced and detailed analysis, Wallace illustrates how black Caribbean youth have been subjected to persistent and deeply embedded unequal treatment in the school systems of the UK and US. * John Solomos, Professor of Sociology, University of Warwick *\u003cbr\u003eThe Culture Trap is an insightful study of the experiences of Afro-Caribbean youth in New York City and London schools. Wallace's careful look at how schools create 'culture traps' through essentializing ethnic expectations of their Afro-Caribbean students is sure to become an instant classic. The book demonstrates how positive expectations go hand in hand with negative expectations, and how the history of colonialism shapes ethnic stereotypes in the US and Britain. Beyond the school, Wallace also shows how students themselves respond to the ethnic expectations they experience. Never reductive, Wallace uses 'storytelling sociology,' providing a vivid and convincing account of the lived experiences of the communities he observed, with deep respect, care, and curiosity.

But if it ever left, nativism has well and truly returned, spreading across nations, across the political spectrum, and from the fringes back into the mainstream. In The Return of the Native, Jan Willem Duyvendak, Josip Kesic, and Timothy Stacey explore how nativist logics have infiltrated liberal settings and discourses, primarily in the Netherlands as well as other countries with strong liberal traditions like the US and France. They deconstruct and explain the underlying logic of nativist narratives and show how these narratives are emerging in the discourses of secularism (a religious nativism that problematizes Islam and Muslims), racism (a racial nativism that problematizes black anti-racism), populism (a populist nativism that problematizes elites\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow are we to understand and respond to the expansion of nativism across the globe? In their brilliant appraisal of 'a nativist logic' in the Netherlands, France, and the US, the authors conclude with wise -- and urgent -- advice for liberals. Structural shifts are behind this turn, they argue, but what counts more is narrative. And liberals need to work on theirs. Get curious about how a narrative works, how it appeals to our yearning to belong. Try creating a liberal narrative which invites the listener into a home which has the feel of comfort with difference-in race, creed, national origin, sexual orientation-and even difference in political opinion. Civilization is a work in progress, and this book helps us do that work.\" -Arlie Russell Hochschild, Professor Emerita of Sociology, University of California Berkeley, and author of Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right\u003cbr\u003eThe Return of the Native is a well-informed, ambitious, and surprising comparative study of nativism and how it shapes boundaries toward racial and religious minorities and women, by mobilizing shared values of enlightenment and tolerance, inherited from liberalism. The authors do a splendid job at presenting a complex thesis clearly and convincingly. This book will certainly have a significant impact on scholarly exchanges around these topics for time to come.\" -Michèle Lamont, Robert I. Goldman Professor of European Studies and Professor of Sociology and of African and African American Studies, Harvard University, and author of The Dignity of Working Men: Morality and the Boundaries of Race, Class and Immigration\u003cbr\u003eIn this path-breaking work, the authors argue for the growing importance of nativism, or the opposition to an internal minority because of its foreignness. Nativism rests on a naturalized link between a category of people and a particular place that supports claims to prerogatives and rights-and exclusion of the non-native. Beginning with the Dutch case, the authors examine how nativism interacts with racism, nationalism, populism, and, in today's European context, Islamophobia. They draw on decades of collaborative work to explore the several iterations of nativism across countries, and attune us to the dangers of its left-liberal forms, which trumpet the superiority of one's own national values. They also set out ways to promote an alternative vision, that of a liberal politics of belonging. A clear analysis of ideas and forces that trouble the politics of today.\" -John R. Bowen, Dunbar-Van Cleve Professor, Washington University, and author of Can Islam Be French?\u003cbr\u003eThe book is valuable addition to the field for its eloquent conceptualization of nativism, thereby systematically differentiating it from other similar outlooks such as populism or racism. Following an articulate unpacking of the concept, the book duly recognizes the fundamental human need to belong, which does not have to be ascribed along reactionary lines. The authors provide stimulating accounts to substantiate the frames presented, the interplay between the \"national rebirth\" thesis and the Black Lives Matter movement promoting a decolonizing re-reading of history in the Netherlands being a case in point. In short, the book offers a convincing depiction of the power of nativism in political discourse, demonstrating the mechanisms through which nativist logic has become mainstream even in liberal democracies. * Ipek Demirsu, Ethnic and Racial Studies *\u003cbr\u003eThe book draws on cutting-edge social scientific work; its principal audience will be researchers, professors, and graduate students, but it is accessible to advanced undergraduates as well. * Choice *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements   Chapter 1.

The idea that social rights are something we are eligible for based on where we live or where we are citizens is out-of-date. In Transnational Social Protection, Peggy Levitt, Erica Dobbs, Ken Chih-Yan Sun, and Ruxandra Paul consider what happens to social welfare when more and more people live, work, study, and retire outside their countries of citizenship where they receive health, education, and elder care. The authors use the concept of resource environment to show how migrants and their families piece together packages of protections from multiple sources in multiple settings and the ways that these vary by place and time. They further show how a new, hybrid transnational social protection regime has emerged in response to the changing environment that complements, supplements, or, in some cases, substitutes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book moves the field forward in several ways. First, it asks important central questions: How do people gain access to social protections within the context of migration? How do they negotiate such protections for themselves and their families as they reside in places offering markedly different levels of or exclusion from state offered social protection? or as they move through the life course? Second, it uses but also notes how much prior research on transnationalism or state-centered social protections cannot fully describe how migrants and their families seek to access such social protections. Finally, and critically, they use empirical fieldwork-based evidence to describe and analyze how these families create resource environments seeking access to social protections. They effectively ground and develop their theoretical arguments with data and cases.

How do they obtain social protections? How do they manage the vagaries of work, health, and the law? What roles are played by governments, communities, non-profits, families and friends? In Transnational Social Protection, Levitt, Dobbs, Sun, and Paul provide deeply researched answers to these questions.
