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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Willig, Rasmus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/10\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang UK\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783034308465\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.80w x 0.30d","brand":"Rasmus Willig","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32962834890827,"sku":"9783034308465","price":59.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/1697\/6715\/products\/img_a23af56f-0d04-4b8e-904e-28ea97df4e44.jpg?v=1605738776","url":"https:\/\/blackbookstore.com\/products\/disenfranchisement-an-essay-on-the-infrastructure-of-critique-9783034308465","provider":"Black Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
