Social Inequality and Social Stratification in US Society uses a
historical and conceptual framework to explain social
stratification and social inequality. The historical scope gives
context to each issue discussed and allows the reader to understand
how each topic has evolved over the course of American history. The
author uses qualitative data to help explain socioeconomic issues
and connect related topics. Each chapter examines major concepts,
so readers can see how an individual's success in stratified
settings often relies heavily on their access to valued
resources-types of capital which involve finances, schooling,
social networking, and cultural competence. Analyzing the impact of
capital types throughout the text helps map out the prospects for
individuals, families, and also classes to maintain or alter their
position in social-stratification systems.
