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’.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBContributor: Joël Noret (Edited by)Author: Joël NoretGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Social SciencesRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
