PDF-[READ]-Class and Stratification: An Introduction to Current Debates

The second edition of this successful book has been extensively revised and updated It now incorporates the considerable range of further contributions to debates in class and stratification which have emerged since the first edition of this book was published in 1993 While many of these have asserted that class is dead Crompton argues that class is very much alive Thus postmodern theories of postclass societies are critically examined as are the most recent contributions of quantitative sociological approaches such as those of Goldthorpe and Wright It is argued that despite their theoretical differences the work of these two authors has been undergoing a process of convergence in recent years One feature which belies the death of class is the contemporary increase in the extent of social and material inequality This topic therefore is explored at some length as are other areas including gender and the feminization of the middle classes the significance of recent changes in work and employment consumption and citizenshipThe authors major aim remains that of the first edition to provide an accessible introduction to this complex topic for undergraduate students Despite the recent volume of apparently conflicting theoretical and methodological statements on the subject by different authors Crompton nevertheless concludes that the way ahead lies in a better understanding and use of the range of both concepts and methods within the field rather than the creation of new theories or the adoption of a single view of class and class analysis .
