| Summary |
"Exploring how hierarchy affects our tastes and leisure-time activities, and who we choose (and hang on to) as our friends and partners, Stratification: Social division and inequality considers how ordinary, everyday activities - going to work, spending time with our friends, pursuing hobbies and interests, socialising with family - help to reproduce inequalities in social position and resources."--BOOK JACKET |
