Gender, class, and race are all intertwined in this book, which does not treat them separately, making it both comprehensive and theoretically coherent for scholars who do not want to see these categories divorced. The authors pay increased attention to disability, intersectionality, immigration, religion, and place, and place greater emphasis on crime and the criminal justice system, as well as health and the environment.

A new chapter on policy alternatives and venues for social change is also included. The chapters are well calibrated for teaching, both in length and progression, and are easy to structure the course without switching things around much. The book covers a wide net of inequalities, thus raising awareness of inequality in all its phases. It also shows structural factors in social stratification.

Overall, this book is an excellent resource for scholars and students interested in social inequality and social change.
