Editorial Reviews

Review
" As a professor at a liberal arts college, I find that this book clearly fills a niche.This book allows me to assign several books on specific topics without sacrificing the coherent narrative provided by Worlds Apart and to supplement articles and excerpts."  

Product Description

The Second Edition of Worlds Apart: Social Inequalities in a Global Economy focuses primarily on social inequalities in the American context. It is the only undergraduate text that provides a sociological framework for analyzing inequality within U.S. society as well as analyzing the relationship between global stratification systems and internal systems of inequality. Author Scott Sernau places each issue and dimension of inequality in the context of a changing global economy.
