Identities and Inequalities: Exploring the Intersections of Race, Class, Gender, & Sexuality

by David M. Newman

We don’t experience our everyday lives through just one lens; rather, we experience all elements of our identity―race, class, gender, sexuality―simultaneously. Identities and Inequalities acknowledges this complex reality and brings to light the importance of studying the intersections of race, class, gender, and sexuality. It also examines these intersections as both elements of personal identity and sources of social inequality. This new edition brings into conversation a multitude of current events, from police violence and global public health crises, to the legalization of same-sex marriage. With both updated statistics and a fresh look at today’s social climate, Newman’s Identities and Inequalities will prepare students to study these all-important issues in a whole new way. The Connect course for this offering includes SmartBook, an adaptive reading and study experience which guides students to master, recall, and apply key concepts while providing automatically-graded assessments.

We don't experience our everyday lives through just one lens; rather, we experience all elements of our identity--race, class, gender, sexuality--simultaneously. This ground-breaking, engaging, highly accessible new book acknowledges this reality and brings to light the importance of studying the intersections of race, class, gender, and sexuality, both as elements of personal identity and as sources of social inequality.
Though required for my sociology class, I enjoyed this book and the discussions and thoughts it led to.
I would recommend this to anyone looking to learn and understand about the diversity and inequality in this country as well as the world.
