For over twenty-five years, Charles C. Ragin has developed
Qualitative Comparative Analysis and related set-analytic methods
as a means of bridging qualitative and quantitative methods of
research. Now, with Peer C. Fiss, Ragin uses these impressive new
tools to unravel the varied conditions affecting life chances.
Ragin and Fiss begin by taking up the controversy regarding the
relative importance of IQ test scores versus socio-economic
background on life chances, a debate that has raged since the 1994
publication of Richard Herrnstein and Charles Murray's TheBell
Curve. In contrast to prior work, Ragin and Fiss bring an
intersectional approach to the evidence, analyzing the different
ways that advantages versus disadvantages combine in their impact
on life chances. Moving beyond controversy and fixed policy
positions, the authors propose sophisticated new methods of
analysis to underscore the importance of attending to
configurations of race, gender, family background, educational
achievement, and related conditions when addressing social
inequality in America today.
