{"product_id":"social-immobilities-in-africa-jozl-noret-9781805391302","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 1805391305\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781805391302\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\/10\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Joël Noret","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48442594394367,"sku":"9781805391302","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_77d58c69-1b87-4d75-91b3-e6da9de8c608.jpg?v=1777198445","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/social-immobilities-in-africa-jozl-noret-9781805391302","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
