WHAT INSTRUCTORS ARE SAYING ABOUT SOCIAL STRATIFICATION AND INEQUALITY:
"I want students to get a historical perspective about inequality, a theoretical perspective, and a perspective that provides statistics and data to back up points. Kerbo does all of this. It is the best text in the field—comprehensive, comparative, and theoretical."
—Jim Crone, Hanover College
"A serious, thorough treatment of a complicated topic. It is well-organized and well-documented. The comparative and global perspective gives context to the American stratification system."
—Penelope Canan, University of Central Florida
"Kerbo's text provides an excellent backdrop for our class discussions, and it allows me to tap into a number of theories, findings, subfields and empirical problems without getting too overwhelmingly complex for my undergrad students."
—Matthew R. Aronson, Colorado State University
