This introductory text provides an up-to-date overview of class and social stratification in postwar Britain, examining the nature and extent of social inequalities and their effects. Unlike traditional treatments of the subjects, the book addresses all forms of social division, moving away from an exclusively class-based analysis, which the new sociology is rapidly abandoning. The book includes discussion of such issues as ethnicity, gender and age, and examines the relationships between class and these other aspects of social inequality since World War II. The book should be of interest to students of sociology, social policy and contemporary history.
