Poverty, social ties, ecology … The new podium for the SES high school book prize once again touches on varied but central social issues.
Braving the distance learning courses, the health crisis, the program to complete and the preparation of the French baccalaureate, our first year students and their SES teachers took the time to read, share their points of view, and select three books among the 8 proposed.
Their classmates from many other high schools also voted, and in the end, for the year 2020/2021, the student juries awarded the SES high school book prize to our favorite book:
Où va l’argent des pauvres ?
Political fantasies, sociological realities by Denis Colombi, (Sociologist professor … of SES!) Edited by Payot in 2020
See Denis Colombi :
“Put an end to the idea that the poor mismanage their money”
We had the chance at the LFO to talk to Denis Colombi at the beginning of May (see article on our site).
The second place goes to:
- Those who stay. Making a living in the declining countryside written by Benoît Coquard, La Découverte 2019
And, very close (1 point) on the third step, the students chose:
- A planet to save: Six challenges for 2050 by Serge Marti, edited by Odile Jacob in 2020
Thanks again to Fabien Meynier and Frédéric Desmedt, coordinators of the high school student book prize in economics and social sciences
The selection for the year 2020-21 was:
