Description: "The book provides comprehensive coverage of the key dimensions of the nature and extent of inequality and difference in Australian society. As well as incorporating arguments about the effects of globalisation on inequality and difference in Australia, it also incorporates arguments about the role of culture in the social reproduction of hierarchy and difference. Arguments about the nature of inequality are tested against empirical evidence, and case studies in each chapter provide examples to aid understanding"--Provided by publisher.
