WESTERN PRIVILEGE AND WHITE PRIVILEGE --CONCLUSION --Notes --Bibliography --IndexNearly 90 percent of residents in Dubai are foreigners with no Emirati nationality. As in many global cities, those who hold Western passports share specific advantages: prestigious careers, high salaries, and comfortable homes and lifestyles. With this book, Amélie Le Renard explores how race, gender and class backgrounds shape experiences of privilege, and investigates the processes that lead to the formation of Westerners as a social group. Westernness is more than a passport; it is also an identity that requires emotional and bodily labor. And as they work, hook up, parent, and hire domestic help, Westerners chase Dubai's promise of socioeconomic elevation for the few. Through an ethnography informed by postcolonial and feminist theory, Le Renard reveals the diverse experiences and trajectories of white and non-white, male and female Westerners to understand the shifting and contingent nature of Westernness—and also its deep connection to whiteness and heteronormativity. Western Privilege offers a singular look at the lived reality of structural racism in cities of the global South.Worlding the Middle EastForeign workersUnited Arab EmiratesDubayy (Emirate)Social conditions21st centuryWhite peopleRace identityUnited Arab EmiratesDubayy (Emirate)White peopleUnited Arab EmiratesDubayy (Emirate)Social conditions21st centurySOCIAL SCIENCE / Social Classes & Economic DisparitybisacshDubayy (United Arab Emirates : Emirate)Emigration and immigrationSocial aspectsDubayy (United Arab Emirates : Emirate)Emigration and immigrationEconomic aspectsDubayy (United Arab Emirates : Emirate)Race relationsDubai.Gender.Heteronormativity.Intimacy.Labor.Migration.Postcolonial studies.Westernness.Whiteness.race and class.Foreign workersSocial conditionsWhite peopleRace identityWhite peopleSocial conditionsSOCIAL SCIENCE / Social Classes & Economic Disparity.331.6/2121095357Le Renard Amélieauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1724549Kuntz Jane1684969DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910838363903321Western Privilege4138926UNINA01876nam0 2200457 i 450 VAN012680020230626021021.307N978303014977220200217d2019 |0itac50 baengCH|||| |||||Convex and Stochastic OptimizationJ.
