Reviews

With contributions by many of America's leading social scientists, [A Nation Divided] provides a marvelous overview of our increasingly diverse, and persistently unequal society. It will find an appreciative audience in college classrooms and among professional sociologists as well as members of the reading public. --Philip Kasinitz, Hunter College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York Throughout the volume, the central question is revisited time and again from different angles and in different substantive settings, thus achieving overall thematic coherence without being redundant or repetitious. It is a pleasant surprise, and the editors are to be commended for their organizational acumen... The volume lucidly demonstrates the possibilities of integrating the social and sociological problems... The volume as a whole will appeal to anyone who is interested in the issue of inequality and American society today. --Contemporary Sociology Splendid... Well-argued, carefully documented. --Library Journal An impressive array of scholarly studies. A stimulating and valuable volume for those of us who teach about the social and economic trends that are now reshaping this nation. --Reynolds Farley, Vice President, Russell Sage Foundation
