Abstract:
"The Blackwell Companion to Social Inequalities" is a first-rate collection of social science scholarship on inequalities, emphasizing race, ethnicity, class and gender sexuality, age, and nationality. The volume highlights themes that represent the scope and range of theoretical orientations, contemporary emphases, and emerging topics in the field of social inequalities. An international group of leading scholars gives special attention to debates in the field, developing trends and directions, and interdisciplinary influences in the study of social inequalities. They also identify likely new areas of research. An editorial introduction and suggestions for further reading round out the collection, making this a one-of-a-kind reference to the field.
