Cultural Processes of Inequality (eBook, ePUB)

A Sociological Perspective

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Cultural Processes of Inequality: A Sociological Perspective show how systemic inequality is produced and reproduced through mundane, routine actions based on taken-for-granted assumptions. The book ties such cultural assumptions to personal and institutional behavior, drawing connections between individuals, culture (as meaning systems) and larger social structures.
