This helps students see that there are clear applications of the material long after they have left the class..."

Additional instructional features such as the summary sections, questions for critical thinking, and specialized box material: all of the resources in the text are quite good."

Examining the significance of race, class, and gender in understanding social problems. Social Problems in a Diverse Society focuses on the significance of race, class, and gender as key factors in our understanding of social problems in the United Stated and around the globe. This text includes discussions about race, class, and gender; uses personal narratives to convey how problems are experienced by individuals and groups; and applies sociological perspectives throughout to examine social issues. Throughout the book, all people - but particularly people of color and white women - are shown not merely as "victims" of social problems, but as individuals who resist discrimination and inequality and seek to bring about changes in families, schools, workplaces, and the larger society.
