Editorials
From the Publisher
“The topic of social inequality is so vast that no one collection of articles will ever be definitive. Having said that, this collection is as close to that mark as I have seen since Bendix and Lipset’s Class, Status and Power.” Troy Duster, New York University“The editors and the diverse group of scholars they have brought together give us one of today’s definitive sociological examinations of inequality. They remind us that inequalities are produced, and they revisit the multiple interpretations we have come up with over the decades.” Saskia Sassen, author of Globalization and its Discontents
“The Blackwell Companion to Social Inequalities is one of those unique texts that transcend the limits of earlier efforts, transforming learning and teaching opportunities in its area. Highly recommended.” Howard Winant, University of California at Santa Barbara
"The book is an excellent international and up to date reference volume on social inequality." Reference Reviews
