Offering a fresh and exciting new perspective on differentiation
and inequality, this absorbing book investigates how our most
personal choices (of sexual partners, friends, consumption items
and lifestyle) are influenced by hierarchy and social difference.
Exploring the topics of assortative mating; social capital;
friendship networks and cultural identity; the book examines how
hierarchy affects our tastes and leisure time activities, and who
we choose (and hang on to) as our friends and partners. This book:
* introduces debates on stratification by exploring its effect on
everyday social relations * relates class inequalities to broader
processes of social division and cultural differentiation,
exploring the associational and cultural aspects of hierarchy *
explores how groups draw on social, economic and cultural
resources, using cultural 'cues', to admit some and exclude others
from their social circle * explores new theoretical approaches to
stratification: drawing on cultural theories of class, social
interaction approaches, and research on differential association
The book has a novel and fresh new way of looking at a
well-established area in sociology - social stratification.
