Oddsson, The Power of Sociology: Grasping Our Unequal World 1e |

ABOUT THE BOOK
The Power of Sociology: Grasping Our Unequal World aims to introduce students to sociology by foregrounding the discipline’s primary concern: the study of social inequality, particularly race, class, and gender. To this end, The Power of Sociology is organized around a central question: What are the causes and consequences of social inequality? Social inequality is fundamental to every major sub-area of sociology and, thus, serves as an ideal vehicle to navigate the vast and varied terrain of the discipline. Moreover, what theme better illustrates the relationship between society and the individual than the causes and consequences of social inequality? More than any other theme, social inequality gets both instructors and students excited. Therefore, we have written a textbook that capitalizes on this to introduce students to “everything” sociology has to offer. This makes The Power of Sociology an integrated whole rather than a collection of loosely coupled topics.
