This is the second edition of a text for the standard sociology course on social stratification. The text takes a conflict perspective on the subject of social stratification but considers all other perspectives. It examines the subject by including historical material and many examples from other countries. The comparative perspective is especially illustrated in the new chapters on social stratification in Japan and expanding and updated material on Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. Special features include: updated material on social mobility; new chapter on stratification in Japan; extensive revision of the Soviet chapters; extensive coverage of the world system; complete update of all statistics on the level of inequality.

This text provides comprehensive coverage of research and theory relating to social stratification in the United States and selected international societies.

In his newly revised fourth edition, Harold Kerbo continues to provide a comprehensive, up-to-date exploration of the economic and social divisions in human societies. While the book is grounded in the nature of social stratification in the United States, the fourth edition maintains a commitment to keeping a global perspective. To that end, this edition includes detailed timely information on stratification around the world, addressing the ways in which governments, corporations, and workers cope with milestone changes such as greater European unification and an increased U.S economic presence. Extensive comparative information, as well as an overview of how, historically, social stratification has changed and evolved, gives readers a global perspective on class conflict. Praised for its thorough research and scholarship, the new edition includes current statistics and the latest trends in the field. Each chapter has been fully updated to include new material on the cornerstones of social stratification; the growing poverty rate, the effects of welfare reform on gender and race inequality, and the status of global attempts to relieve social stratification in the wake of continued changes in the world system.
