Recenzii
An engaging and comprehensive guide to the multifaceted dimensions of contemporary social inequality. This excellent book will serve as an ideal introductory text for students of social policy, sociology, social work and politics or indeed anyone who is concerned with social injustice.
The extensive range of issues explored in the book in relation to social inequality, including the comprehensive analysis of each particular social division, as well as the inclusion of tasks, case studies and key points in each chapter, makes Social Inequality a very recommendable and pedagogical book on this salient and current topic.
