Worlds Apart 3rd Edition 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. Features of the book include:
• Places each issue and dimension of inequality in the context of a changing global economy.
• Engages undergraduates in the subject matter with lively writing and fascinating cases, but also interprets these lived experiences by introducing classical and contemporary theories of stratification.
• The intersection of race, class, and gender is not just stated but illustrated throughout the book as a pervasive institutionalized system of privilege and oppression.
• Key data are presented in clear, graphical formats and measures are explained early in the text. Numeric data are tied to examples illustrating their importance.
