Overview
Part of the New Approaches to Sociology series, Social InequalitiesĀ is a relevant and valuable exploration of how we see the world, through a decolonised lens. Aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students of sociology, this textbook offers a critical re-reading of traditional approaches to understanding social inequalities and responds to the call from university administrations, academics and students to decolonise the curriculum and challenge its lack of diversity.
Ā
It presents an intersectional approach to understanding diversity and social inequalities and, in so doing, allows for alternative knowledge sources and voices to be heard.
Ā
From looking at social groups such as race, age, sexuality and class alongside a nuanced evaluation of traditional sociological theories such as Marxism, functionalism and feminismĀ ā this book is an expert guide to the debates central to understanding the challenges individuals face in society.
Ā
Including personal stories and case studies, students will be exposed to an authentic and real-world view of how individuals have encountered discrimination.
Ā
Social Inequalities is an essential resource for anyone working and studying across sociology, and anyone interested in challenging established ways of looking at the world.
