Purchase options and add-ons

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.

This book was the required textbook for a class in which I am enrolled. It's a dense read but well worth the effort.

3.0 out of 5 stars This book would have been great if the language wasn't so lofty and scholastically vague

This book would have been great if the language wasn't so lofty and scholastically vague. It was very dry and hard to read, it seemed to have no flow or passion making it lean towards boring.
