Book Synopsis Ethnic Stratification and Economic Inequality around the World by : Max Haller in collaboration
Download or read book Ethnic Stratification and Economic Inequality around the World written by Max Haller in collaboration and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The modern world is characterised by pervasive economic inequalities. Strong economic growth in some developing countries has contributed to a degree to a reduction in the levels of inequality between nations, yet inequality within nations remains high and in some cases, continues to increase. Ethnic Stratification and Economic Inequality around the World investigates the reasons for these striking differences, exploring the coincidence and interaction between economic stratification and ethnic differentiation. Drawing on extensive international survey and statistical data, the author develops a new theory and concrete hypotheses concerning the conditions which lead toward extreme inequality and those which tend toward greater equality. A systematic examination of the interaction between class structures, social stratification and ethnic differentiation, this book sheds light on the manner in which the resulting social structures produce different levels of economic inequality, offering a fivefold typology of patterns of ethnic stratification, which can be applied to present-day world regions. Drawing on the work of Max Weber to provide a rigorous investigation of inequality around the world, it demonstrates what 'sociology as a science of social reality' can significantly contribute to our understanding of global economic stratification. The book is relevant for a wide social-scientific audience, particularly for sociologists, economists and political scientists working in a comparative perspective.

Book Synopsis The Shape of Social Inequality by : David Bills
Download or read book The Shape of Social Inequality written by David Bills and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2005-08-24 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together former students, colleagues, and others influenced by the sociological scholarship of Archibald O. Haller to celebrate Haller's many contributions to theory and research on social stratification and mobility. All of the chapters respond to Haller's programmatic agenda for stratification research: "A full program aimed at understanding stratification requires: first, that we know what stratification structures consist of and how they may vary; second, that we identify the individual and collective consequences of the different states and rates of change of such structures; and third, seeing that some degree of stratification seems to be present everywhere, that we identify the factors that make stratification structures change." The contributors to this Festschrift address such topics as the changing nature of stratification regimes, the enduring significance of class analysis, the stratifying dimensions of race, ethnicity, and gender, and the interplay between educational systems and labor market outcomes. Many of the chapters adopt an explicitly cross-societal comparative perspective on processes and consequences of social stratification. The volume offers both conceptually and empirically important new analyses of the shape of social stratification.
Book Synopsis Educational Assessment in Latin America by : Sue Swaffield
Download or read book Educational Assessment in Latin America written by Sue Swaffield and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-23 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection presents educational assessment research from Latin America, adding to a relatively small but growing body of research considering educational assessment and evaluation issues in this large region. The predominance of Chile reflects its early highly centralized education system, and the fact that it adopted national testing before other Latin American countries. It was also an early participant in international assessment programmes. Other countries have followed the trend of implementing national testing, and to a lesser extent participating in international surveys. The complementary development of technical expertise in quantitative research methods has enabled extensive analysis of the large data sets generated by these testing and assessment programmes. Taken together, the evidence reported provides a means not only of reviewing educational quality issues in Latin America, but also of facilitating comparisons that allow the context specificity of equivalent research conducted in western developed countries to be considered. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Assessment in Education: Principles, Policy and Practice.
Book Synopsis Policy Discourses and Multi-scalar Interactions in Curriculum Development by :
Download or read book Policy Discourses and Multi-scalar Interactions in Curriculum Development written by and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As a "middle power," Brazil plays an important role in the contemporary world. At the same time huge challenges concerning citizenship, democracy, and participation still exist in the country. This study engages with one of the struggles: the struggle for an ethnically and racially just Brazil. Taking Brazilian Education Law 10.639 as object of study, this book explores the question of what policy discourses and multi-scalar interactions influence the process of curriculum development with regard to ethnicity/race and education in Brazil. The findings show that the increased inter-scalar and multi-scalar dynamics in the globalized world present new opportunities for Brazilian civil society actors for getting attention for ethnic/racial inequality. However, even considering the fact that Brazil is far ahead compared to many other countries, huge political and pedagogical challenges still exist regarding the process of curriculum development around ethnicity/race in the country."--Samenvatting auteur.

Book Synopsis Paths of Inequality in Brazil by : Marta Arretche
Download or read book Paths of Inequality in Brazil written by Marta Arretche and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-04 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents multidisciplinary analyses of the historical trajectories of social and economic inequalities in Brazil over the last 50 years. As one of the most unequal countries in the world, Brazil has always been an important case study for scholars interested in inequality research, but in the last few decades has brought a new phenomenon to renew researchers’ interest in the country. While the majority of democracies in the developed world have witnessed an increase in income inequality from the 1970s on, Brazil has followed the opposite path, registering a significant reduction of income inequality over the last 30 years. Bringing together studies carried out by experts from different areas, such as economists, sociologists, demographers and political scientists, this volume presents insights based on rigorous analyses of statistical data in an effort to explain the long term changes in social and economic inequalities in Brazil. The book adopts a multidisciplinary approach, analyzing the relations between income inequality and different dimensions of social life, such as education, health, political participation, public policies, demographics and labor market. All of this makes Paths of Inequality in Brazil – A Half-Century of Change a very valuable resource for social scientists interested in inequality research in general, and especially for sociologists, political scientists and economists interested in the social and economic changes that Brazil went through over the last two decades.
Book Synopsis Reclaiming Public Universities by : Manisha Priyam
Download or read book Reclaiming Public Universities written by Manisha Priyam and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-04-25 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the nature of public universities and higher education reforms in emerging economies, with a focus on India, South Africa and Brazil. Drawing on context-based case studies, the essays in the volume highlight the state of public universities amongst the developing world with their shared colonial past and social, caste and race inequalities. Based on comparative and multidisciplinary studies, the book provides a critical account of the policy reforms and changes on account of globalization and markets in higher education in public universities of the Global South regions. The chapters also compare methodological approaches to university reform and restructuring of public universities and higher education systems in USA, Australia, the European Union and India, and examine the California model, the Bologna process, the Melbourne model, the University of Delhi reforms, and engage critically with the New Public Management inspired reform policies. The book further lays the groundwork for understanding 'massification' in a contextual way, and the possibilities for expansion of scale of mass higher education through public provision. With its empirical findings and social theory analyses by global experts, the volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of education, higher education, sociology and social anthropology, development studies, public policy and administration, politics, political economy, and Global South studies. It will also be useful to educationists, policymakers and civil society organizations.
Book Synopsis Addressing Race/Ethnicity in Brazilian Schools by : Aparecida De Jesus Ferreira, Ph.d.
Download or read book Addressing Race/Ethnicity in Brazilian Schools written by Aparecida De Jesus Ferreira, Ph.d. and published by . This book was released on 2011-05-25 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents research that considers cultural plurality as a cross-curricular theme, an issue that has been intensely discussed in recent times in Brazil, largely due to the implementation of new National Curriculum Parameters. This study examines the ways in which English as a Foreign Language teachers understand and address 'race'/ethnicity in education. The main argument of this book is that unless teachers understand issues surrounding 'race'/ethnicity, cultural plurality as a cross-curricular theme in schools will not be adequately addressed. As the 'myth of racial democracy' still holds much power in Brazil it is important to understand the context in which teachers work. This research is largely qualitative and uses the framework of Critical Race Theory (CRT) to examine teachers' accounts and practices. The use of CRT as an analytical tool is important because it clearly demonstrates the way that injustice and inequality related to 'race' occur in Brazil. My findings indicate that dealing with issues of 'race'/ethnicity in schools requires more than legislation, the provision of curriculum materials and teachers' commitment issues of pedagogy are crucial. My research demonstrates that unless teachers' professional development in the area of cultural plurality as a cross-curricular theme is put in place, issues around 'race'/ethnicity will continue to be inadequately addressed. Aparecida de Jesus Ferreira has a Ph.D. in Teacher Education, Institute of Education, University of London, (UK). She is currently a lecturer at the Universidade Estadual de Ponta Grossa, UEPG, Paraná (Brazil). She has experience in the field of Applied Linguistics, with emphasis on teacher education. Her research interests include: teacher education; teaching practice; teaching and learning of foreign languages; developing materials for language teaching; textbooks analysis; critical literacy and the construction of social identities (race relations).

It identifies necessary reforms and the barriers to reform. The book's 18 studies examine a wide variety of key issues regarding the economics of education in Brazil.

Book excerpt: In short, the educational heterogeneity of the Brazilian labor force is not just a major explanatory factor for the overall level of inequality in the country, but also a major explanation for the much higher level of inequality in the country when compared with the rest of the world. [...] The Brazilian experience can be described as that of a country (a) caught over the past decades in the middle of the educational spectrum where the level of the educational inequality (original object) is naturally high; and (b) expanding the educational system very slowly, leading to a growing scarcity of skilled labor and to an increase in the market value of education (curvature of the mirror). [...] The Brazilian Educational Performance In the previous sections we have sought to demonstrate the importance of acceleration in the expansion of the Brazilian educational system for the socioeconomic development of the country. [...] It is evident by the considerable decline in the retention to the fourth grade - specially in the period between the 1930s and the beginning of 1960s - and the relative decline in the level of zero years. [...] This slowdown is of major concern given the still very low level of schooling of the Brazilian population.3 The evidence provided to date illustrates the decline in the rate of expansion of the Brazilian educational system.
