Overview

"Conventionally, sociologists have been mainly concerned with three major social divisions: social class, gender and ethnicity. Sociological analysis of contemporary society has begun to focus on the interactions between these core social processes, and on alternative social divisions like age, sexuality or national identity. Starting with an extensive treatment of the more familiar social divisions, Social Divisions explores the structural differences and social inequalities that lie behind the commonsense formulations of nationalism, old age, childhood, sexuality, disability, health and community." "Each chapter has been specially commissioned from an expert. Their contributions cover theoretical issues, examples and up-to-date empirical material in a way that provides a resource for detailed discussion and development, while still remaining accessible to the non-specialist reader. The introduction and conclusion provide a conceptual framework in which to place each specialist chapter."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
