The topic of social inequality remains as central to sociology as it has always been. The multidimensional analysis of social inequality under the concept of »intersectionality« in recent years represents probably the biggest innovation in this field, and is also becoming increasingly important in teaching – especially in modules on the sociology of social inequality, on social structural analysis and in gender studies.For the first time in the German-speaking world, a compact analysis of this central approach to the sociology of social inequality is available. The elaboration of a clear theory and methodology to guide research makes the volume a valuable companion for teaching and research.
