Combining theoretical explanation with empirical data for a clear and balanced sociological analysis, this is a crucial introduction for students taking social inequalities and diversity modules.

Written by internationally known sociologists and experts, the book addresses a wide range of social divisions and inequalities in novel ways, with added chapters on education and age. Providing a framework for understand contemporary social inequalities and diversities and how they interrelate, this clearly written volume presents a structured and critical guide to a core field that cuts across disciplines.
