Book excerpt: The American press and American television news have been filled with stories from Gdansk, Warsaw, Krakow, Lódz, and other Polish cities and towns. The names of a number of Polish leaders have become almost as familiar to Americans as the names of their own leaders, and the word " Solidarity" has acquired an important new meaning for Americans as well as Poles. The editor's identify that this interest of the American public has not been matched by corresponding interest from American sociologists, stating that Polish society is seldom mentioned either in major scholarly journals or in the textbooks written for students. This collection of studies seeks to address some of this issue, looking at works and the systems in Poland since 1956.

Book Synopsis Dynamics of Class and Stratification in Poland by : Irina Tomescu-Dubrow
Download or read book Dynamics of Class and Stratification in Poland written by Irina Tomescu-Dubrow and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2018-04-20 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about long-term changes to class and inequality in Poland. Drawing upon major social surveys, the team of authors from the Polish Academy of Sciences offer the rare comprehensive study of important changes to the social structure from the communist era to the present. The core argument is that, even during extreme societal transformations, key features of social life have long-lasting, stratifying effects. The authors analyse the core issues of inequality research that best explain “who gets what and why:” social mobility, status attainment and their mechanisms, with a focus on education, occupation, and income. The transition from communist political economy to liberal democracy and market capitalism offers a unique opportunity for scholars to understand how people move from one stratifi cation regime to the next. There are valuable lessons to be learned from linking past to present. Classic issues of class, stratification, mobility, and attainment have endured decades of radical social change. These concepts remain valid even when society tries to eradicate them.

Book Synopsis Seeing Through the Eyes of the Polish Revolution by : Jack M. Bloom

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1980 Polish workers astonished the world by demanding and winning an independent union with the right to strike, called Solidarity--the beginning of the end of the Soviet empire. Jack M. Bloom's Seeing Through the Eyes of the Polish Revolution explains how it happened, from the imposition to Communism to its end, based on 150 interviews of Solidarity leaders, activists, supporters and opponents. Bloom presents the perspectives and experiences of these participants. He shows how an opposition was built, the battle between Solidarity and the ruling party, the conflicts that emerged within each side during this tense period, how Solidarity survived the imposition of martial law and how the opposition forced the government to negotiate itself out of power.

Book Synopsis China's Scientific Elite by : Cong Cao
Download or read book China's Scientific Elite written by Cong Cao and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-07-31 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China's Scientific Elite is a study of those scientists holding China's highest academic honour - membership of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Having carried out extensive systematic data collection of CAS members Cao examines the social stratification system of the Chinese science community and the way in which politics and political interference has effected the stratification. The book then goes on to compare the Chinese system to the stratification of the US scientific elite. The conclusions are fascinating, not least because one national elite resides in a democratic liberal social system, and the other in an authoritarian social system.

It covers general studies of the area as well as works on the individual countries of Albania, Bulgaria, the former Czechoslovakia, the former German Democratic Republic (East Germany), Hungary, Poland, Romania, and the former Yugoslavia. In addition to bibliographic and descriptive information, the authors also include citations to book reviews. A companion to their Russia and the Former Soviet Union (Libraries Unlimited, 1994), this volume also focuses on the social sciences and the humanities. As interest about this part of the world continues to build and English-language publications about it proliferate, Burger and Sullivan's guide is a pertinent addition to academic and public library collections.
