Amanda Machin Books

Exploring the interplay of language and desire, Amanda Machin delves into the concept of the nation as a site of political contestation rather than a fixed entity. By employing the theories of Wittgenstein and Lacan, she challenges prevailing narratives and advocates for a re-examination of national identity. This original work engages with themes of nationalism, democracy, and psychoanalysis, making it essential for theorists and researchers interested in the evolving dynamics of nations in contemporary society.

An exciting and original book that argues that there is an illusion of consensus in the climate change debate.

The contributions in this book highlight, contextualize and analyze different aspects of social inequality. What are the various cause and effects of inequality? How have these changed over recent decades? Which social policies might be best able to intervene? Written by authors from a variety of disciplines and geographical regions, these contributions provide a rich account of inequality within contemporary society. The role of the state, the media and the market in exacerbating and alleviating patterns of equality are all accessed alongside analysis of changing patterns of exclusion and hierarchy.
