Description

The United States will enter the twenty-first century with an increasingly diverse, unequal, and divided population. Longstanding tensions persist between ethnic groups, rich and poor, and immigrants and the native-born. New sources of strain involve sexual and gender minorities, those who possess alternate family forms, and white and nonwhite immigrants, as well as the widening gulf between rich and poor Americans. A Nation Divided offers a fresh approach to these controversial issues. In this volume, leading social scientists explore the potentially explosive combination of diversity and inequality. Using the latest theory and research, the authors show how different groups become socially and economically unequal and how such patterns of "durable inequality" affect national stability. They also discuss strategies for reducing durable inequality and creating social harmony. Their contributions address the changing demography of diversity and inequality and the interplay of diversity, inequality, and community in educational institutions, the military, the family, popular culture, and religion. Review Splendid... Well-argued, carefully documented.-- "Library Journal" Throughout the volume, the central question is revisited time and again from different angles and in different substantive settings, thus achieving overall thematic coherence without being redundant or repetitious. It is a pleasant surprise, and the editors are to be commended for their organizational acumen... The volume lucidly demonstrates the possibilities of integrating the social and sociological problems... The volume as a whole will appeal to anyone who is interested in the issue of inequality and American society today.-- "Contemporary Sociology" About the Author Phyllis Moen is Ferris Family Professor of Life Course Studies and Professor of Sociology and of Human Development at Cornell University, where she is a founding director of the Bronfenbrenner Life Course Center.
