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 census data, with the fundamentals of social stratification. Five-part organization: "Part I" gives a broad overview and introduction to the field; "Part II" provides an expanded discussion of the evolution and institutionalization of industrial class systems; "Part III" covers the basic elements of inequality: economics, prestige, and politics; "Part Four" includes separate chapters on life chances and lifestyles as well as class consciousness; and "Part V" offers an exploration of social mobility. As a useful reference for professionals in the fields of sociology, social problems, or race and minorities/gender.

For undergraduate courses in Social Stratification, Race, Class, and Gender, and Introduction to Gender Studies.
