Joe R. Feagin Boeken
Joe R. Feagin is een vooraanstaande Amerikaanse socioloog en sociaal theoreticus wiens uitgebreide onderzoek zich verdiept in raciale en genderkwesties, met name binnen de Verenigde Staten. Zijn werk onderzoekt kritisch de diepgewortelde sociale structuren en dynamieken die interpersoonlijke relaties en maatschappelijke ongelijkheden vormgeven. Feagin analyseert de manieren waarop raciale en genderstereotypen worden geconstrueerd, in stand gehouden en hoe ze het dagelijks leven van individuen en gemeenschappen beïnvloeden. Zijn benadering is zowel analytisch als scherpzinnig, gericht op het blootleggen van de onderliggende mechanismen van macht en discriminatie in de hedendaagse samenleving.
