Description
For undergraduate courses in Social Stratification, Race, Class, and Gender, and Introduction to Gender Studies.
Using a concise and easy-to-understand style, this guide provides an integrated approach to the implications of social class, race and ethnicity, and gender-explaining how each relates to economic, social, and political inequality. Its straightforward perspective views the considerations of race and gender as central to a full appreciation of the composition and dynamics of class systems. A significant and effective organization incorporates fresh conceptualizations, new research findings, and data, with the fundamentals of social stratification.
