{"product_id":"disenfranchisement","title":"Disenfranchisement","description":"Why is it important to take a critical approach to your work? And what are the consequences if your critical voice is suppressed? These are the questions that lie at the heart of \u003ci\u003eDisenfranchisement\u003c\/i\u003e, which focuses on the deteriorating possibilities for a group of kindergarten staff members to utter criticism and influence their work places.\u003cbr\u003e The central point of the book is that the inability to criticise is closely related to a more general process of disenfranchisement that is corroding the lives of staff both professionally and privately. Through interviews with kindergarten workers, the book reveals how these processes have resulted in a widespread sense of powerlessness and paralysis.\u003cbr\u003e This book is for anyone who seeks a conceptualisation of the feeling that it has become more worthwhile to keep silent than to speak your mind – a widespread impression in a time when several groups in the public sector, including nurses, teachers, kindergarten workers and police officers, report increased political control and a lack of tolerance of critical voices in a neoliberal era. The book focuses on the informal norms that determine our ability to criticise, rather than on the formal, statutory rights of freedom of speech, press and assembly.","brand":"Peter Lang AG, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54224713515352,"sku":"9783034308465","price":50.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9783034308465.jpg?v=1777090554","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/disenfranchisement","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
