Martinez Jose - Covid - 19 And The Transformation Of American Society - Hardcover

Binding: Hardcover
Description: In Covid - 19 and the Transformation of American Society the first book - length consideration of the Covid - 19 pandemic's implications noted sociologist Jose Martinez lays bare the immense social changes that we should expect from the nouvel coronavirus which has upended American life since March 2020. A vital theme of his critique is how inequality already entrenched in American society may worsen due to large - scale economic disruption that resonates strongly in the socioeconomic circumstances of minorities and the poor. On the other hand society may also experience constructive social changes resulting from a widespread reconsideration of consumerism driven by frank reassessments of our wants and needs. This book addresses how the coronavirus has contributed to long - lasting reconsiderations of social relationships from dating to leisure to education in both negative and positive ways and how national and cultural politics will never be the same. Martinez opens a new field in foretelling an unanticipated future for American society and indeed the entire world. It concludes with a consideration of possible solutions to address social changes that we are unlikely to avoid.
