Inequality is an ever-present danger in our society. This important book addresses the crucial nexus between the lived experience of inequality and how it shapes political responses. With contributors from the UK and Continental Europe, the book compiles case studies with theoretically informed discussions of the relationship between affective polarisation, social inequality and the fall-out from Brexit and COVID-19. Using a broad concept of social inequality, the book incorporates aspects of economy and society, language, and emotion culture, as well as interviews and film in historical and transnational perspectives. The contributors offer a powerful examination of the ways in which the politics of the UK and the lived experiences of its residents have been reframed in the first decades of the 21st century.

How can we bring about a more democratic and just academic life for all? Written by scholars from different disciplines, countries, and backgrounds, this book offers an internationally relevant, practical guide to 'doing diversity' in the social sciences and humanities and decolonising higher education as a whole.

Considering previously neglected groups of care leavers such as unaccompanied migrants, street youth, those leaving residential care, young parents and those with a disability, this book presents cutting-edge research from emerging global scholars. The collection addresses the precarity experienced by many care leavers, who often lack the social capital and resources to transition into stable education, employment and family life. Including the voices of care leavers throughout, it makes research relevant to practitioners and policymakers aiming to enable, rather than label, vulnerable groups.

Although modern racism was fully developed by their time,Marx (and Engels) did not engage in a theoretical discussionof its essential features. This analytical silence isinvestigated in the chapter Marx and Haiti: Notes ona Blank Space. At the same time, the chapters of thisvolume demonstrate that and why the principles of ahistorical materialist analysis of society present links fora critical theory of racism. In the chapter Dehumanization and Social Death: Fundamentals ofRacism, this is shown concerning the various historicalshapes of racisms caused by different forms of classrelations. The chapter Racismflq: Birth of aConcept connects the conceptual history of racism with thesocio-historical conflicts of differently affected socialgroups. Finally, the chapter A HistoricalMaterialist Theory of Racism: Introduction addresses basicelements of a Marxist analysis of racism. It elucidates thenecessity of a theoretical conjunction of classist andracist discrimination as well as the historicaldifferentiation of racisms.

I Dare Say: A Gerald Horne Reader is a timely and essential collection of the many works of Professor Gerald Horne-a historian who has made an indelible impact on the study of US and international history. Horne approaches his study of history as a deeply politically engaged scholar, with an insightful and necessarily partisan stance, critiquing the lasting reverberations of white supremacy and all its bedfellows-imperialism, colonialism, fascism and racism-which continue to wreak havoc in the United States and abroad to this day. Drawing on a career that spans more than four decades, The Gerald Horne Reader will showcase the many highlights of Horne's writings, delving into discussions of the United States and its place on the global stage, the curation of mythology surrounding titans of 20th Century African American history like Malcolm X, and Horne's thoughts on pressing international crises of the 21st Century including the war in Afghanistan during the early 2000s, and the war in Ukraine which erupted in February 2022. As we continue to observe the chaos of our current times, I Dare Say: A Gerald Horne Reader foregrounds a firmly rooted, consistent analysis of what has come to pass-and provides illuminating insight that better informs where we may be headed, and outlines what needs to be done to stem the tide of growing fascism across the Western world.

Mange elever kæmper stadig med manglende motivation, og alt for mange mistrives. Elevernes motivation er ikke kun et spørgsmål om, hvordan den påvirker deres læring og faglige resultater − og omvendt − det handler også om at være nysgerrig, ville lære nyt (også når det er vanskeligt) og have mod på livet − nu og i fremtiden. Som lærere kan vi ikke vente på, at eleverne ikke (længere) er motiverede, før vi gør noget. Det skal tænkes ind i den daglige undervisning, og der skal skabes et læringsmiljø, hvor eleverne er aktive, undervisningen er varieret, og elevernes behov for selvbestemmelse imødekommes. Denne praksisnære bog er bygget op omkring tre psykologiske behov, som er afgørende for motivationen − autonomi og selvbestemmelse, kompetence og mestring, tilhørsforhold og samhørighed. Bogen tilbyder konkrete redskaber og tips til, hvordan man som lærer og pædagog i grundskolen kan sikre støtte til de tre psykologiske behov og herigennem arbejde med elevernes motivation. Redskaberne kan bruges på forskellige klassetrin og tilpasses efter behov og er udviklet, så de nemt kan kombineres med den almindelige undervisning.

This is a seminal time for Equal Opportunities and Diversity (EO&D) in the UK: the three existing Equality Commissions have been amalgamated into the Commission for Equality and Human Rights and a new Single Equality Act was published in 2010. The concepts of EO&D now incorporate gender, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, religion and belief and age inequalities. For the future, the problems of separate and relative deprivation, and conflicting experiences and interests, must be tackled, both between and within different categories of disadvantage. These different, complex and sometimes contradictory strands in legislation, policy and practice need to be analysed and understood in order to facilitate genuine social change. This book challenges the official discourse that shapes the debates on EO&D at national, regional and European level. The book will be a key text for students and researchers of EO&D in criminology, social policy, sociology, women's studies, gender studies, public administration, business studies, economics and management and industrial relations, at both undergraduate and postgraduate courses. It will also be of interest to EO&D professionals and policy makers in public and private sector organisations.
