{"product_id":"9781626371835","title":"Introducing Social Stratification: The Causes and Consequences of Inequality","description":"Does everyone in the US have an equal chance to \"make it\"? What explains the enduring power of racism and sexism? How does our sociopolitical system generate inequality? These are just a few of the questions explored in this accessible introduction to the complex problem of social stratification. Kasturi DasGupta clearly explains the social and economic mechanisms that serve to preserve and even deepen social stratification in the US. Enriched with case studies and examples throughout, her text is carefully designed both to engage students and to help them see past cultural myths to grasp the underpinnings and consequences of social inequality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCONTENTS: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExploring Inequalities.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSTRUCTURES OF INEQUALITY.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOur Divided Society Today.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow Inequality Shapes Life Chances.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Nature of the Economic System.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGlobalization and Changing Economic Structures.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Political Economy of Inequality.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEducation: The Great Equalizer?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eINTERSECTING SYSTEMS OF INEQUALITY.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMaking Sense of Intersecting Inequalities.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGender.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRace.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNativism, Citizenship, and Colonialism.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIS CHANGE POSSIBLE?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAdvocating for Workers.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSeeking Alternative Social Futures.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Lynne Rienner Publishers, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47038118559984,"sku":"9781626371835","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781626371835_p0.jpg?v=1763866206","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781626371835","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
