“Social status refers to collective subjective evaluations of groups by other members of that society using contemporary standards, values, and beliefs” (Rothman, 2005:120)
The quintessential book text for any sociology major. In this day and age we speak of many topics as a race war, without adressing the class struggle. You must know Weber, Marx and Dubois and their ideas of functionalism, allienation, exploitation, double consciousness, anomie, the unstoppable nature of a beaucracy etc. I wish it went into more detail of Kaunt's teachings.
