Title overview

Sociology: Evidence and Insights teaches you how to analyze society through a combination of data and classic and contemporary sociological perspectives. In today's era of "alternative facts" and "fake news," the authors give you the tools to distinguish between sociological insights and claims not supported by data.

The authors examine the intersectionality of race/ethnicity, class, and gender, and explore related issues of economic inequality, immigration, and racial and gender exploitation. By prompting you to make evidence-based arguments from different sociological perspectives, the text empowers you to bridge the great political and social divides that characterize our world today.
