This fascinating research tracks how society and families boost or ignore individuals and group. Does promotion depend on good work? Good connections? Timing? or ...?
I really enjoyed Stuart/s summaries of the ways those who are "anointed" in one way or another (or in multiple ways) rise through the ranks - or skip them altogether to places of power and influence.
Well worth reading if you resent "privilege" or are curious about what difference your "place in life" makes. What doors can you open, and which ones are opening for you? Which ones will remain shut unless you have leverage or a mentor?
Highly recommended for those in the social sciences, anthropology, or intercultural studies. Going to recommend this one to my students.
