The Social Construction of Difference and Inequality: Race, Class, Gender and Sexuality
Select Format
Select Condition 
Book Overview
This anthology examines the social construction of race, class, gender, and sexuality and the institutional bases for these relations. While other texts discuss various forms of stratification and the impact of these on members of marginalized groups, Ore provides a thorough discussion of how such systems of stratification are formed and perpetuated and how forms of stratification are interconnected. The anthology supplies sufficient pedagogical tools to aid the student in understanding how the material relates to her/his own life and how her/his own attitudes, actions, and perspectives may serve to perpetuate a stratified system.

Interesting material
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Great analysis for the deconstructing of social constructions such as race, gender, and class. Very easy to understand, and full of interesting topic material. From more works like this, you start to understand the disparity and hegemony that imbalances of power have perpetuated. With hope, we can progress to become a more equal and fair society for everyone

College book, messages for everyone
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I was required to read this book for one of my graduate classes and enjoyed the format and topics. The variety of authors and perspectives is interesting, and even though it talks down to the read in some of the section introductions, the overrall message becomes clear: the systems in place that support racism and bigotry are large and well supported, but you can still do something starting with your most important asset- you.
