Synopsis

Exploring Inequality: A Sociological Approach will help you examine the socially constructed nature of our identities, the processes by which we acquire them, prejudice and privilege, and the unequal outcomes they produce within institutions. By employing both micro-level and macro-level perspectives, as well as integrating intersectional analysis in every chapter, author Jenny M. Stuber provides you with a solid and effective framework for understanding social diversity and inequality.

The updated Second Edition features a strong introductory chapter reviewing key theories and concepts, real-world examples, social problems and their solutions, and better visuals to help you gain a comprehensive understanding of social inequality.
