Against Meritocracy (Open Access)
Against Meritocracy (Open Access)
Against Meritocracy is split into two parts. Part I explores the genealogies of meritocracy within social theory, political discourse and working cultures. It traces the dramatic U-turn in meritocracy's meaning, from socialist slur to a contemporary ideal of how a society should be organised. Part II uses a series of case studies to analyse the cultural pull of popular `parables of progress', from reality TV to the super-rich and celebrity CEOs, from social media controversies to the rise of the `mumpreneur'. Paying special attention to the role of gender, `race' and class, this book provides new conceptualisations of the meaning of meritocracy in contemporary culture and society.
