Description

This is Volume II of twenty-one in a collection of Race, Class and Social Structure. Originally published in 1960, this book is about the place of class and its synonyms, status, prestige, and power, in the structure of American society. A dominant theme of the book is that classes do exist even though individuals are not chained to these social positions with unequivocal finality.
