In Poor Queer Studies, Matt Brim shifts queer studies away from its familiar sites of elite education toward poor and working-class people, places, and pedagogies. Brim shows how queer studies also takes place beyond the halls of flagship institutions: in night school; after a three-hour commute; in overflowing classrooms at no-name colleges; with no research budget; without access to decent food; with kids in tow; in a state of homelessness.

Part social reportage, part socialist polemic, The Road to Wigan Pier sets out a hellish vision of a broken Britain before delivering a meditation on how we can create a more egalitarian society. Having travelled to the industrial north of England on assignment from his editor, Orwell's confronting, stark descriptions of the social injustice, cramped slum housing, squalor, hunger and growing unemployment he encounters are written with unblinking honesty, anger and humanity.

Almost every job requires a level of experience and training with the notable exception of the most powerful people in the country—our political class.

Oggi, per la prima volta nella storia d'Italia, ricorrono insieme tre condizioni: il numero di cittadini che non lavorano ha superato ampiamente il numero di cittadini che lavorano; l'accesso ai consumi opulenti ha raggiunto una larga parte della popolazione; l'economia è entrata in stagnazione e la produttività è ferma da vent'anni.

El autor del libro estudió los códigos culturales y el comportamiento Bio-Lógico de 71 países para desarrollar un índice de que permite medir la movilidad social dentro de estas sociedades.
