{"product_id":"social-immobilities-in-africa-jol-noret-9781789204858","title":"Social Im\/Mobilities in Africa: Ethnographic Approaches","description":"\u003cp\u003e Grounded in both theory and ethnography, this volume insists on taking social positionality seriously when accounting for Africa's current age of polarizing wealth. To this end, the book advocates a multidimensional view of African societies, in which social positions consist of a variety of intersecting social powers - or 'capitals' - including wealth, education, social relationships, religion, ethnicity, and others. Accordingly, the notion of social im\/mobilities emphasizes the complexities of current changes, taking us beyond the prism of a one-dimensional social ladder, for social moves cannot always be apprehended through the binaries of 'gains' and 'losses'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joël Noret\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1789204852\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781789204858\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/08\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2020","brand":"Joël Noret","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43938807611647,"sku":"9781789204858","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_a4a77ec0-4c09-4ca6-b9d2-a4f323bfe9ae.jpg?v=1681437821","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/social-immobilities-in-africa-jol-noret-9781789204858","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
