It examines how social inequality affects different social groups, explores the role of culture in the social reproduction of hierarchy and difference, and incorporates discussion about the effects of globalisation on inequality and difference in Australia. The second edition tests arguments about the nature of inequality against empirical evidence, and incorporates topical case studies in each chapter provide contemporary examples to aid student understanding of theory and perspectives in context.
