Críticas

"Amid the vast array of manifestos, scholarly essays, anthologies, and books that have been made available since the late 90s, Munck's book marks itself as a useful cognitive map of these "interesting times." A distinguished sociologist who has "always tried to to make sociology relevant to society and engaged on behalf of the disempowered" - has benefited from his own hindsight and from the lessons of recent history."

Reseña del editor

We inhabit a world of consequences and butterfly effects. When global economies integrate, what disintegrates as a result? The answer, Ronaldo Munck contends, is social equality. This is the first book to view globalization through the lens of social exclusion - defined as all the ways in which people are prevented from obtaining the necessities of life. o illustrate how globalization deepens the existing inequities of race, place, gender, and class, in both the global North and South, the author highlights disparities in living conditions; the feminization of poverty and the global sex trade; the effects of racism, migration, and multiculturalism; and the formation and political manifestations of social class. He boldly develops a politics and ethics of transformation to move us beyond social exclusion - even beyond mere social inclusion. He provides us with the tools to transform society from within, creating a more democratic and just global order.
