Beskrivning
How do crises and inequalities reshape societies - and sociology itself? Grounded in perspectives often marginalized in global scholarship, this book argues that social transformations are never neutral: they redistribute resources, capacities, and recognition, generating intertwined processes of dispossession and empowerment. Across diverse contexts, it traces how these struggles are lived and contested in everyday life - from ethnic marginalization and gendered exclusions to the social and emotional costs of global upheaval. The book examines how new regimes of governance can erode freedoms while promising order, and how digital technologies simultaneously deepen exclusion and open possibilities for solidarity, diversity, and agency. Reflexive chapters confront colonial legacies, language hierarchies, and unequal knowledge production, calling for a critical, dialogical, and emancipatory sociology. The book calls upon the agency of sociology itself - not as an observer of social transformations, but a field capable of shaping public understanding, challenging dominant narratives, and articulating alternative social futures.
