Social Inequality
- Louise Warwick-Booth - Leeds Beckett University, UK
Now in an updated second edition, Social Inequality continues to be an essential guide to understanding social inequality and stratification, helping readers to understand what inequality is, how it is defined, explored and measured, and what the key social divisions are at both global and national level.
The new edition includes:
- Updated coverage of sexuality and transgender issues
- Two new chapters: the first, 'Youth and Age' discusses age as a social construct and form of division, whilst the second, 'Health and disability' defines health inequalities and analyses the current thinkers on health inequalities and their proposed solutions.
- Enhanced discussion of migration and asylum seeking
- A global context, offering a comparative discussion on social inequalities, policy, and justice.
Social Inequality provides a clear and concise overview of social inequality and the key social divisions in today's contemporary global world. This is essential reading for our health students with key concepts defined and discussed in an an accessible manner. An excellent text.
An engaging and comprehensive guide to the multifaceted dimensions of contemporary social inequality. This excellent book will serve as an ideal introductory text for students of social policy, sociology, social work and politics or indeed anyone who is concerned with social injustice.
The text provides a good insight into the topic of social inequalities and students would find this book very informative. It guides the students from the basic, what is social inequality? to the wider societal contemporary issues that some individuals are faced with today
