"Inequality is the central motivating concern of sociology, and there is no better guide to the stratifi cation canon than The Inequality Reader. In this second edition, Grusky and Szel_nyi take us on an occasionally challenging, sometimes humorous, often provocative, and always engaging tour of the major works on social stratifi cation." -- Dalton Conley, Professor of Sociology, Medicine, and Public Policy, New York University "Grusky and Szel_nyi's The Inequality Reader continues to set the standard for comprehensiveness and timeliness as a resource for students of social stratifi cation." -- Douglas S. Massey, Henry G. Bryant Professor of Sociology and Public Affairs, Princeton University "The Inequality Reader is a remarkably rich and diverse collection, suitable for undergraduates encountering sociological analysis for the first time as well as graduate students looking for a comprehensive overview of the main strands of sociological thinking and research on inequality." -- Erik Olin Wright, Vilas Distinguished Professor, University Of Wisconsin-Madison, and President-Elect, American Sociological Association Praise for the First Edition:, "Grusky and Szel_nyi have compiled a comprehensive set of essential readings that introduce students to both classical sociological thinking and modern ideas about stratification. This is an excellent resource." -- Lisa A. Keister, Professor of Sociology, Duke University "This is a beautifully designed resource for teachers and students. The Inequality Reader reveals not only the comprehensiveness and varieties of inequality, but the interconnectedness of its class-, race-, and gender-based dimensions. With superb selections and a state-of-the-art grasp of the issues, Grusky and Szel_nyi show us not only the contemporary depth and breadth of injustice, exclusion, and unfreedom, but also the links between inequality's past and present forms. Highly recommended." -- Howard Winant, University of California, Santa Barbara, and author, The World is a Ghetto; Race and Democracy since World War II,   Praise for the First Edition: "Grusky and Szelényi have compiled a comprehensive set of essential readings that introduce students to both classical sociological thinking and modern ideas about stratification.
