“This important book shows the significance of social class for understanding inequality and its consequences. Students will find this collection of readings very accessible.” —Leonard Beeghley, University of Florida “Takes the field beyond staid formulations about “stratification” to the panoply of often-neglected issues of class formation, class fractures, class cultures, class politics, and class struggle. The selections are bold, provocative and politically astute. Eitzen’s critical approach brings home the issues in a way that will help reach studens, even as it raises the intellectual bar.” —Jonathan Cutler, Wesleyan University
