Social Divisions by Geoff Payne
This view of social fragmentation, inequality and cohesion comprises commissioned articles exploring the key divisions in contemporary society. It includes chapters on class, gender and ethnicity and also dedicated coverage of national identity, age, childhood, sexuality, disability, health, and community. Designed to be both free standing and to contribute to an overall perspective, each chapter comprehensively covers theories and current patterns, offering a critical guide to its field.
