"An important approach to social inequality."--M. M. Denny, "Choice
Product Description
Charles Tilly, in this eloquent manifesto, presents a powerful new approach to the study of persistent social inequality. How, he asks, do long-lasting, systematic inequalities in life chances arise, and how do they come to distinguish members of different socially defined categories of persons? Exploring representative paired and unequal categories, such as male/female, black/white, and citizen/noncitizen, Tilly argues that the basic causes of these and similar inequalities greatly resemble one another. In contrast to contemporary analyses that explain inequality case by case, this account is one of process. Categorical distinctions arise, Tilly says, because they offer a solution to pressing organizational problems. Whatever the "organization" is--as small as a household or as large as a government--the resulting relationship of inequality persists because parties on both sides of the categorical divide come to depend on that solution, despite its drawbacks. Tilly illustrates the social mechanisms that create and maintain paired and unequal categories with a rich variety of cases, mapping out fertile territories for future relational study of durable inequality.

本書提齣的是包羅各種不平等現象的一般理論。持續的不平等來自社會組織為解決迫切的組織問題，通過劃定範圍定義類彆（category）壟斷資源而創立的種種社會閉閤、拒斥和控製的係統。Categories運轉起來産生不平等的機製有：精英獲取剩餘價值分配迴報的exploitation, 個體試圖利用網絡獲取進入路徑的opportunities hoarding，類似組織被不斷模仿從而得以擴張的emulation及這一係統不斷在現實中運轉從而被實踐被承認的adaptation。第七章講不平等的政治聯係起瞭作者長久研究社會運動的背景，國傢用類彆來統治，社會運動動員和改變類彆。第四章講西方人如何在南非構建類彆生産不平等來進行剝削有點意思。也可以從這本書裏揣摩怎麼樣從若乾個運動、經驗裏構築起一般的社會理論。
评分An appealing alternative to explain social inequality based on categorical traits than the distribution of human capital. The problem next is that the mechanism through which those categorical differences are successfully maintained by organizations.
评分沒想到讀Tilly竟然讀的第一本是這個…而且還是在社會流動課上…Tilly就是Tilly，寫作的視野很不錯，但強烈懷疑大佬們寫作是不是寫完不修改……強烈建議這邊學習一下海明威站著寫作…
