About the Book

"New edition - now published by SAGE's Pine Forge PressNew Table of Contents with new page numbers is available by clicking 'Sample Materials and Chapters' at left to help with syllabus updates." The Seventh Edition of The American Class Structure in an Age of Growing Inequality""is a current, concise treatment of America s ever-changing class structure. Author Dennis Gilbert asks a deceptively simple question: Why is social inequality in America increasing? This question is answered through discussion of nine key variables and the best historical and contemporary empirical studies of class inequality in American society, providing students with a broad overview of this social issue. With fresh data on income, wealth, earnings, residential segregation by income, and other topics, The American Class Structure describes a consistent pattern of growing inequality in the United States since the early 1970s. Focusing on the socioeconomic core of the American class system, Gilbert addresses why class and inequality disparities are ever increasing by examining changes in the economy, family life, and politics in search of an answer-with a praised writing style that readily draws students into the debate.New to This Edition!Boasts updated data on income, wealth, earnings, occupation, poverty, class segregation in residential patterns, and politics to provide the most current material on social mobilityFeatures a new section on Bourdieu and coverage of Lareau s new research on child rearingProvides updates in nearly every chapter, including current research on marriage patterns and a 10-year assessment of the 1996 welfare reform and its effectsPresents an analysis of data on intergenerational occupational mobility from the 1970s to 2004 that shows the increase in downward mobility and a corresponding decrease in upward mobility Includes first-person accounts from the PBS documentary "People Like Us" in the chapter about position and prestige to illustrate vividly the human emotion wrapped up in class issues Incorporates a revised glossary Instructor Resources on CD are available to qualified instructors (contact Customer Care at 1-800-818-7243 or info@sagepub.com) Intended AudienceThis unique text is ideal for Social Stratification, Social Class, or Social Inequality courses in departments of sociology.
