The study of globalization - the interconnection of the world culturally, socially, politically, and most importantly, economically - is an important area of study in college curricula. This book examines the links between global processes and shifting patterns of stratification, inequality, and social mobility.


By recognizing the connections between global processes and social stratification in the United States, students will become better equipped to identify and create effective community-based responses to social inequality. Because the text draws on several disciplines, it may be used in a variety of courses. It is ideal for upper-level sociology courses on stratification and social change; class and gender studies; and poverty and race. It may also be used in interdisciplinary studies courses such as globalization and international studies. Additionally, it can be beneficial as a supplement in basic sociology courses, including social problems or introduction to sociology.
