About the Book "What makes this book stand out for me is that, as well as being theoretically informed and clearly written, its structure lends itself unmistakeably to teaching... If our aim is to teach truly engaged students, it should be our job to provide truly engaging materials. This is what you will find with this particular book. It will help to inform your disciplinary teaching of social inequality across the social sciences and it will provide a solid basis for your seminar work with students."
- Helen Jones, Higher Education Academy

"Warwick-Booth has provided a highly readable introductory text that will be accessible to everyone interested in this area of study, and I highly recommend it for those embarking on studies of social inequality."
- LSE Review of Books What is the state of social inequality today? How can you situate yourself in the debates?

This is an essential book that not only introduces you to the key areas, definitions and debates within the field, but also gives you the opportunity to reflect upon the roots of inequality and to critically analyse power relations today. With international examples and a clear interdisciplinary approach throughout, the book encourages you to look at social inequality as a complex social phenomenon that needs to be understood in a global context. This book:

  • Looks at social divisions across societies
  • Explores global processes and changes that are affecting inequalities
  • Discusses social inequality in relation to class, gender and race
  • Examines current social policy approaches to explore how these relate to inequality
  • Reflects upon the potential solutions to inequalities
This engaging and accessible introduction to social inequality is an invaluable resource for students across the social sciences.
