Description
Class is a concept that has been debated and explored in social science for centuries. This accessible and lively book delves into the key theoretical traditions in class research, major controversies, and the ongoing impact of class difference across various domains.
The author examines how sociologists study and measure class, as well as its relationship to everyday understandings of social difference in the 21st century. The book also covers the latest research on topics such as race, national populism, and the reconfiguration of class in a global age.
With this new edition, students and scholars across the social sciences will find it an invaluable resource for understanding the complexities of class. Its engaging approach makes it suitable for anyone looking to gain a deeper insight into this provocative concept.
