Part of the esteemed New Approaches to Sociology series, Social Inequalities delves into a profound exploration of our perception of the world through a decolonized lens. This textbook is specifically designed for undergraduate and postgraduate students of sociology, offering a critical re-reading of traditional approaches to understanding social inequalities. It responds to the urgent call from university administrations, academics, and students to decolonize the curriculum and challenge its lack of diversity.

By adopting an intersectional approach, the book enables the exploration of diversity and social inequalities from multiple perspectives, allowing alternative knowledge sources and voices to be heard. It examines social groups such as race, age, sexuality, and class alongside a nuanced evaluation of traditional sociological theories such as Marxism, functionalism, and feminism. This comprehensive guide provides students with a deep understanding of the debates at the core of understanding the challenges individuals face in society.

Including personal stories and case studies, the book offers an authentic and real-world perspective of how individuals have encountered discrimination. It serves as an essential resource for anyone working and studying across sociology, as well as for those interested in challenging established ways of looking at the world.

The authors of Social Inequalities are Professor Anya Ahmed, Dr. Deirdre Duffy, and Dr. Lorna Chesterton, who are esteemed faculty members in the Department of Health and Education at Manchester Metropolitan University in the United Kingdom.
