Description

Intersectional Inequality: Race, Class, Test Scores, and Poverty explores the complex relationships between different factors that influence life chances. Charles C. Ragin and Peer C. Fiss apply their set analytic method to survey data, providing new insights into how these factors interact. The authors examine a contentious issue in sociological research: the use of IQ and school achievement tests as predictors of life outcomes. They challenge traditional methods and highlight the limitations of the "net-effects approach". By viewing cases intersectionally, Ragin and Fiss shed light on the debate over which variable has the strongest impact on life changes. This book offers a powerful contribution to social science methodology, providing a nuanced understanding of the complex relationships between inequality, education, and test scores.
