The Established and the Outsiders: Volume 4

Más información sobre el libro

The book delves into the dynamics of power and social hierarchy within two similar working-class groups in a 1960s community, illustrating how one group wielded power to marginalize the other through stigma and gossip. Elias extends this analysis into a broader theory of power relations, exploring its implications across various societal divisions, including class, ethnicity, and gender. Additionally, it features a posthumous essay inspired by Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird," marking its debut in English.
