Synopsis

Identities and Inequalities examines the merging of four key social identifiers - race (and ethnicity); class; gender; and sexuality--from the perspective of individuals in particular cultural, institutional, and historical contexts. The text takes an integrated approach to how the four key social identifiers work together or in opposition to form people's social identities and experiences with inequality. This release has been updated to include the most current statistics, scholarship, and examples. The Investigating Identities and Inequalities exercises at the end of each chapter have also been revised.
