Summary, etc. Both the methodology and the conceptualization prevalent in the<br/>study of social stratification leave much to be desired. Many issues<br/>are considered "dead" which should be exhumed; many other<br/>issues are still alive" which should be decently buried. In addi-<br/>tion, while there is a profusion of books of "readings," there is<br/>a paucity of interpretive studies and unquestionably a lack of<br/>textbooks.<br/>This book is addressed primarily to undergraduate students<br/>in sociology, although it is certainly suitable for graduate students,<br/>and there is no reason why the general reader should not find it<br/>interesting and enlightening. Although most sociological terms are<br/>defined, a basic acquaintance with sociology is assumed.<br/>No author can claim to be free of bias, and no such claim is<br/>made here. However, an attempt has been made to be dispassion-<br/>ate and detached, although perhaps not always successfully.<br/>The subject of social stratification in American society is so emo-<br/>tionally "loaded" that it is difficult to remain objective.<br/>Social Inequality has a number of multi-faceted goals. One is<br/>to acquaint the student with the field of social inequality by<br/>presenting past and present theoretical positions and empirical<br/>findings. Hopefully, this has been done in such a way that some<br/>synthesis has been achieved and some order created out of chaos.<br/>Furthermore, the book focuses on a relatively neglected area in<br/>the American stratification system-social caste. Most sociologists<br/>tend to ignore or to treat cavalierly the relationship between social<br/>ranking and race, age, sex, religion, and ethnicity.
