Ageing and Health
The mythical 'demographic timebomb' can be defused through policies that reduce inequalities between and within generations.
Exponential Inequalities
This thoughtfully edited volume explores the operation of equality and discrimination law in times of crisis. It aims to understand how existing inequalities are exacerbated in crises and whether equality law has the tools to understand and address this contingency. Experience during the COVID-19 crisis shows that the pandemic has acted as a catalyst for 'exponential inequalities' related to racism, xenophobia, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ageism, and ableism. Yet, the field of equality law (which is meant to be addressing such discrimination or inequality) has had little immediate relevance in mitigating these exponential inequalities. This is despite the fact that countries like the UK...

The Conservative Heartland
In the wake of the 2016 presidential election there was widespread shock that the Midwest, the Democrats’ so-called blue wall, had been so effectively breached by Donald Trump. But the blue wall, as The Conservative Heartland makes clear, was never quite as secure as so many observers assumed. A deep look at the Midwest’s history of conservative politics, this timely volume reveals how conservative victories in state houses, legislatures, and national elections in the early twenty-first century, far from coming out of nowhere, in fact had extensive roots across decades of political organization in the region. Focusing on nine states, from Iowa and the Dakotas to Indiana and Ohio, the ess...
A Manifesto for Mental Health
A Manifesto for Mental Health presents a radically new and distinctive outlook that critically examines the dominant ‘disease-model’ of mental health care. Incorporating the latest findings from both biological neuroscience and research into the social determinants of psychological problems, Peter Kinderman offers a contemporary, biopsychosocial, alternative. He warns that the way we care for people with mental health problems is creating a hidden human rights emergency and he proposes a new vision for the future of health organisations across the globe. The book highlights persuasive evidence that our mental health and wellbeing depend largely on the society in which we live, on the thi...
Modern Murders
Modern Murders is the first comprehensive study of murder representations during the turn of the century, drawing on previously neglected archival material to explore the intellectual, cultural, and artistic contexts of the period. Most studies view the abundance of murder representations throughout the nineteenth century as an indicator of a supposedly typical Victorian appetite for sensation and melodrama. Modern Murders, however, demonstrates the turn of the century's backlash against melodramatic and sensational representations of murder and reads them as an important component in the struggles for better aesthetic standards in art and entertainment, and as a dominant feature in the deba...
Destabilized Property
This book studies the rise of access over ownership and the sharing economy's challenges to the liberal vision of property.
Live Ink
When beauty brings not pleasure, but poison Russ is an apprentice tattoo artist with big dreams but few opportunities. He's a good, steady employee, he cares about the tattoo studio's clients, and he has plenty of imagination invested in his own designs. But he never seems to catch a break. Not like celebrity tattooist Leo Andersson, famous for his good looks, professional success, and artistic flair—and the subject of Russ’ hopeless crush. Yet, maybe not so hopeless. When Leo asks Russ on a date, he also offers him a chance to have his amateur art brought to everyone’s notice. If only Russ had the courage and belief in himself to take it. Then a disgruntled client secretly offers Russ a weird and disgusting talisman that’s supposed to grant wishes—and will make Russ’ talent fly. Desperate to be Leo's artistic equal, Russ finds himself at a moral crossroads. If you were offered a magical chance to let inspiration flow freely through you, to bring you rapid fame and fortune—and the admiration of the man you're falling in love with—wouldn’t you be tempted to take it? Without ever considering the price that has to be paid….
Class Boundaries in Europe
Drawing inspiration from Pierre Bourdieu’s social space theory, this book provides an unprecedent overview of class relations, covering topics such as class polarisation, cultural reproduction, political orientations, and globalisation. The book applies Bourdieusian social space approach to show how class boundaries have been maintained or transformed in different European countries. Based on quantiative data, it proposes a renewal of the analysis of distances, divides, and relations of domination between social classes, documenting objective and symbolic boundaries that form the basis of individuals’ living and working conditions in 11 European countries. Focusing on transformations of wealth inequalities, education strategies, and European labour markets, the book examines the role of cultural, economic and social capital. It will be of interest to students and scholars across the social sciences, in particular to those studying social and wealth inequalities in a comparative perspective and Master's students in European studies.
