Social Stratification: Exposing Inequities and Pursuing Social Justice

Social Stratification: Exposing Inequities and Pursuing Social Justice provides students with a collection of scholarly articles that explore inequalities observed within societies in the United States and across the globe. With a range of readings organized into eight cohesive units, the book draws connections between academic research and societal facets of inequality with particular attention to race, Black liberation, community development, gender, social justice, migration issues, and the climate crisis.

The book guides the reader through a sociological exploration, offering a comprehensive look at topics including the social construct of race, the intricacies of intersectionality, and the dynamics of migration and globalization. Featuring a wide array of scholarly perspectives, the collection provides a diverse spectrum of thoughts and findings on contentious social subjects, stimulating critical thought on how historical and current societal arrangements contribute to stratification and injustice.

Social Stratification is ideal for courses that explore sociological theory and practice, social justice education, and interdisciplinary studies focusing on ingrained inequalities. Courses that tackle complex global issues through the lens of social structures may also benefit from the in-depth content provided in this anthology.
