Now Published by SAGE!

In Exploring Inequality: A Sociological Approach, author Jenny M. Stuber examines 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, this text provides 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 students gain a comprehensive understanding of social inequality.

  • Research findings that explore the complex intersections between nature and nurture, especially when it comes to gender and sexuality.
  • Case studies of activism that is attempting to address social inequality.
KEY FEATURES:
  • A broad consideration of social diversity (in terms of race, gender, social class, sexual orientation, and ability/disability) demonstrates how social identities are constructed within the context of social institutions (education, health care, and work).
  • An intersectional perspective is fully integrated in every chapter to illustrate to students the social markers such as race, class, gender, age, and sexual orientation that shape an experience.
  • A strong balance of micro-level and macro level perspectives illustrate how individual forces and structural factors perpetuate inequalities in everyday life, from face-to-face meetings to systems of privilege created by institutions. The authors also use this approach to examine how individual identities are formed through socialization and interaction.
