Recenzje

'As a social justice educator, I have long awaited a comprehensive textbook on poverty, wealth, and economic inequality. This text is not only truly comprehensive, it is also contemporary, inclusive, and intersectional. Beyond its utility as a resource for courses on social class, it also contains useful examples, measures, discussion questions, activities, and further resources for the classroom and beyond.' Ryan M. Pickering, Allegheny College
