THE BLACKWELL COMPANION
TO SOCIAL INEQUALITIES
BLACKWELL COMPANIONS TO SOCIOLOGY
The
Blackwell Companions to Sociology
provide introductions to emerging topics
and theoretical orientations in sociology as well as presenting the scope and quality
of the discipline as it is currently configured. Essays in the
Companions
tackle broad
themes or central puzzles within the field and are authored by key scholars who
have spent considerable time in research and reflection on the questions and con-
troversies that have activated interest in their area. This authoritative series will
interest those studying sociology at advanced undergraduate or graduate level as
well as scholars in the social sciences and informed readers in applied disciplines.
