Oppression and Liberty
The remarkable French thinker Simone Weil is one of the leading intellectual and spiritual figures of the twentieth century.A legendary essayist, political philosopher and member of the French resistance, her literary output belied her tragically short life.Most of her work was published posthumously, to widespread acclaim.Always concerned with the nature of individual freedom, Weil explores in Oppression and Liberty its political and social implications.Analyzing the causes of oppression, its mechanisms and forms, she questions revolutionary responses and presents a prophetic view of a way forward.If, as she noted elsewhere, 'the future is made of the same stuff as the present', then there will always be a need to continue to listen to Simone Weil.

Oppression and Resistance : Structure, Agency, Transformation
Oppression and resistance dialectically envelop everyday life, for both the privileged and the oppressed.The disenfranchised live under regimes in which repression ranges from brutal to institutionally subtle.The privileged socially reproduce their rule through ideology that justifies and policy that institutionalizes subjugation.However, rejecting depression, detachment, and disaffection that emerges from surviving ruling-class regimes, many previously dispirited, instead, choose defiance.They engage in subjectivity struggles by crafting critical consciousness, refusing to be dupes to ideology that represents them as inferior.They undertake social struggles demanding policy that dismantles institutional discrimination and that enhances opportunities for learning and achievement.The exploited, as best as they can in regimes of ruling class and white male supremacy, reconstruct their selves and, it is hoped, transform society.The qualitative studies that comprise this edited collection, present a structure-and-agency perspective, broadly defined, that constitutes the best sociological lens through which to understand oppression and resistance.Contributors interrogate various aspects of oppression and resistance, from the personal to the institutional, exploring situations in which the structure of oppression was insurmountable and illustrating cases in which agency was able to transform either individual or group identity.

Systemic Racism : A Theory of Oppression
In this book, Feagin develops a theory of systemic racism to interpret the highly racialized character and development of this society.Exploring the distinctive social worlds that have been created by racial oppression over nearly four centuries and what this has meant for the people of the United States, focusing his analysis on white-on-black oppression. Drawing on the commentaries of black and white Americans in three historical eras; the slavery era, the legal segregation era, and then those of white Americans.Feagin examines how major institutions have been thoroughly pervaded by racial stereotypes, ideas, images, emotions, and practices.He theorizes that this system of racial oppression was not an accident of history, but was created intentionally by white Americans.While significant changes have occurred in this racist system over the centuries, key and fundamentally elements have been reproduced over nearly four centuries, and US institutions today imbed the racialized hierarchy created in the 17th century.Today, as in the past, racial oppression is not just a surface-level feature of society, but rather it pervades, permeates, and interconnects all major social groups, networks, and institutions across society.

Social Reproduction Theory : Remapping Class, Recentering Oppression
This groundbreaking collection explores the profound power of Social Reproduction Theory to deepen our understanding of everyday life under capitalism.While many Marxists tend to focus on the productive economy, this book focuses on issues such as child care, health care, education, family life and the roles of gender, race and sexuality, all of which are central to understanding the relationship between economic exploitation and social oppression. In this book, leading writers such as Lise Vogel, Nancy Fraser, David McNally and Susan Ferguson reveal the ways in which daily and generational reproductive labour, found in households, schools, hospitals and prisons, also sustains the drive for accumulation.Presenting a more sophisticated alternative to intersectionality, these essays provide ideas which have important strategic implications for anti-capitalists, anti-racists and feminists attempting to find a path through the seemingly ever more complex world we live in.

The Politics of Language Oppression in Tibet
In The Politics of Language Oppression in Tibet, Gerald Roche sheds light on a global crisis of linguistic diversity that will see at least half of the world's languages disappear this century.Roche explores the erosion of linguistic diversity through a study of a community on the northeastern Tibetan Plateau in the People's Republic of China.Manegacha is but one of the sixty minority languages in Tibet and is spoken by about 8,000 people who are otherwise mostly indistinguishable from the Tibetan communities surrounding them.Recently, many in these communities have switched to speaking Tibetan, and Manegacha faces an uncertain future.The author uses the Manegacha case to show how linguistic diversity across Tibet is collapsing under assimilatory state policies.He looks at how global advocacy networks inadequately acknowledge this issue, highlighting the complex politics of language in an inter-connected world.The Politics of Language Oppression in Tibet broadens our understanding of Tibet and China, the crisis of global linguistic diversity, and the radical changes needed to address this crisis.
