Understanding Inequality: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Understanding Inequality" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This textbook anthology takes a fresh approach to the study of inequality, promoting a sharper understanding of the intersection of race, class, and gender. It helpfully encourages students to grapple with research articles, both quantitative and qualitative, while offering a readable array of provocative essays, many of them written by prominent scholars. The aim of the text is to give students a more solid, analytical foundation for understanding inequality, while exposing them to the key public debates in American society. Arrighis lively introduction appeals to student interests and leads them smoothly toward a deeper understanding of the sociological research contained in the book.
