The main objective of this volume is to introduce students to the subject of social stratification as it has developed in sociology. The central focus is on domestic inequality in the United States with some attention to the broader international context. If the primary goal is understanding the history and context of debates about inequality, a secondary goal is to give some indication as to what issues are likely to arise in the future.
