Western Privilege

COLLECTION Références - Monde et sociétés
GENRE Sociology
Work, intimacy, and postcolonial hierarchies in Dubai.

Dubai, the crossroads of neoliberal globalization, is the incarnation par excellence of the advantages associated with being a white Westerner. In Dubai, Westerners stand out as a social group unto themselves, structurally privileged in the job market and the private sphere, despite other categories of gender, class, race, and sexuality. Through accounts from over a hundred inhabitants and expatriates, this work offers readers a unique and incisive glimpse into the current reconfigurations of Western hegemony.
