Book Synopsis Inequality in Australia by : Alastair Greig
Download or read book Inequality in Australia written by Alastair Greig and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-02-17 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text seeks to analyse and explain inequality, challenging traditional conceptions and providing a new critical perspective. The authors provide a comprehensive historical account of inequality, and show how that account no longer adequately explains the new and different forms of inequality experienced in recent decades. As society has changed, they argue, new forms of inequality have emerged, conditioning the subject's very experience of identity, embodiment and politics. The book is at once a critical overview of contemporary inequality and a thorough-going textbook suitable for undergraduates.

Download or read book Fair Enough written by Elaine Thompson and published by UNSW Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Australian self-image of a perfectly egalitarian society has always been fraught with paradox. We are all equal, yet racism, sexism and xenophobia have all flourished. We are a classless society, yet the cultural cringe exists. In this penetrating book, Dr. Elaine Thompson tackles many of the issues surrounding Australian egalitarianism: Did our egalitarian drive create a nation in which 'sameness' was so important that we did not see and cherish diversity? What of the accusation that egalitarianism cuts down tall poppies and undermines progress? In particular, this book explores the origins of political egalitarianism - the transformation from a culture which defined itself by white Britishness to one which cherishes multicultural diversity. Special emphasis is also placed on the economic, social and cultural positions of women, non-Anglo immigrants and indigenous people.

Book Synopsis The Inheritance of Inequality by : Leonard Broom
Download or read book The Inheritance of Inequality written by Leonard Broom and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-03-31 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1980 at a time when the discipline of sociology was still relatively young in Australia, The Inheritance of Inequality is an important contribution to the study of social mobility in Australia. The book is based on findings from a survey of nearly 5,000 Australians who were interviewed about their family backgrounds and occupational careers. In its scope and sample size, the survey was unique among non-governmental Australian studies. It went beyond the findings of earlier surveys, giving broader understanding of social mobility and stratification. The book sets out the processes by which Australians have found their place in the world of work in the 20th Century. Factors tending to enhance or frustrate attainment are identified and the degree to which Australia is an egalitarian society is assessed.
Book Synopsis Ethnicity, Class and Gender in Australia by : Gillian Bottomley
Download or read book Ethnicity, Class and Gender in Australia written by Gillian Bottomley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-08-07 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethnicity, Class and Gender in Australia is a major study of the impact of immigration on Australian society, and of the fragmentation that has developed along ethnic, class and gender lines. Rather than thumbnail sketches of ethnic groups or celebrations of multiculturalism, it offers detailed critiques of policy and practice, backed up by evidence from the experiences and research of the authors. This book confronts issues crucial to all Australians: the increasing fragmentation of the workforce; the class, gender and origin-based inequalities present in an 'egalitarian' country; and the ideologies, from racism to multiculturalism, designed to mask these inequalities. The authors also point to evidence of growing resistance to the status quo, and strategies for working towards a more genuine equality - to more positive education programmes, to political action at the workplace and beyond. The aim is to broaden readers' understanding of Australian society by including those who are so often omitted from analysis of that society.

Download or read book From Girls to Men - Social Attitudes to Gender Equality in Australia. Part 1, Quantitative Findings written by and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gender equality progress in Australia, as in many other liberal nations, has stalled in the face of a backlash. This report explores this further with a national survey of community attitudes to gender equality and empowerment. 2,122 people, aged from 16 onwards, were surveyed regarding whether gender policy should be a priority, whether inequality and sexism are still problems, whether workplace equality policies discriminate against men, career opportunities, political correctness, the exclusion of men, and who should be responsible for addressing sexism. The report highlights the major trends identified, and considers differences by gender, age generation, and time spent online either gaming or in social media. The report concludes with some preliminary thoughts on the key policy questions and further research. Sections include: Is inequality between women and men still a problem in Australia today?; The rhetoric-reality gap: unpacking Australian attitudes on gender equality; How do Australians understand sexism?; In which areas of Australian society is sexism most prevalent?; Have men been forgotten in the struggle for gender equality?; Are male moderates misogynists or critical thinkers?; Male millennial traditionalists and the gaming culture; and Regional Australia leads the way on positive attitudes to gender equality. Worrying, despite high levels of knowledge about the nature of gender inequality, a growing number of Millennial and Gen X men appear to be alienated from the process of change and are backsliding into traditional value systems.
Book Synopsis Battlers and Billionaires by : Andrew Leigh
Download or read book Battlers and Billionaires written by Andrew Leigh and published by Black Inc.. This book was released on 2013-06-26 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is Australia fair enough? And why does inequality matter anyway? In Battlers and Billionaires, Andrew Leigh weaves together vivid anecdotes, interesting history and powerful statistics to tell the story of inequality in this country. This is economics writing at its best. From egalitarian beginnings, Australian inequality rose through the nineteenth century. Then we became more equal again, with inequality falling markedly from the 1920s to the 1970s. Now, inequality is returning to the heights of the 1920s. Leigh shows that while inequality can fuel growth, it also poses dangers to society. Too much inequality risks cleaving us into two Australias, occupying fundamentally separate worlds, with little contact between the haves and the have-nots. And the further apart the rungs on the ladder of opportunity, the harder it is for a kid born into poverty to enter the middle class. Battlers and Billionaires sheds fresh light on what makes Australia distinctive, and what it means to have – and keep – a fair go.

Book Synopsis Being All Equal by : Judith Kapferer
Download or read book Being All Equal written by Judith Kapferer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-08-18 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is there such a thing as an Australian national identity? Or is Australia just a melting pot of different peoples and cultures without a common culture? - What is distinctive and what is universal about everyday life in Australia? In a post-colonial age of globalizing economies, the political quest for national 'identity' is increasingly urgent. This topical book traces the ways in which the Australian state and its people struggle to represent the social and cultural practices of everyday life in an attempt to draw meaning from diverse understandings of pasts, presents and futures. Class, gender and ethnicity are shown to underpin this popular debate, fuelled by shifting interpretations of egalitarianism and individualism. The author -- a prominent Australian sociologist -- investigates how a nation's identity is created through its folk heroes and folk festivals, civic and domestic architecture, education, politics and art. Ned Kelly, Parliament House, the Melbourne Cup and the Adelaide Grand Prix are all interrogated for the light they shed on Australian ideologies and institutions.This book will be fascinating reading for those who seek a deeper understanding of how a national identity can be moulded and redefined.
