We may think we control our own destinies, but who we are, how we
think, what we feel, and how we act are shaped by multiple,
intersecting identities that have different amounts of power and
value in our society. Being Unequal explores how identity
categories associated with race, class, gender, and sexuality help
shape inequality. This concise and accessible book asks: How is
identity experienced? How does identity help reproduce inequality?
How does identity help resist inequality? What is the relationship
between micro and macro inequality-in other words, how do our
personal experiences shape larger social forces? Being Unequal
argues that identities matter because they are a critical part of a
complex social process in which everyday interactions contribute to
larger systems of structural inequality. By recognizing the links
between identity and inequality, Being Unequal also highlights the
power of collective action to resist and oppose domination and
exploitation. Filled with engaging real-world examples ranging from
the social construction of momentary high school cliques to the
emergence of momentous social movements, Being Unequal is a
powerful introduction to social identities and the ways they shape
our world.
