Exploring the Questions of Today Identity & Inequality Race, Class, & Gender Multiculturalism Globalization Sociology Now reflects the discipline today and explores the big questions about multiculturalism and globalization that sociologists ask. Sociology has always offered a way to make sense of the complex and sometimes contradictory forces that shape our social lives in any era. As Sociology Now explains sociology as both a body of knowledge and a "way of seeing," it shows how two such forces in particular have come to preoccupy sociologists and influence the way they look at the events and experiences of the early twenty first century: The first is globalization --the economic, political, cultural, and social interconnections among people and institutions all over the world. The second is multiculturalism --the recognition that race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, religion, and other statuses are sources of social inequality, but also the foundations of our identities. Michael Kimmel, a leading sociologist and gender researcher, and co-author Amy Aronson, a journalist and media scholar, address these questions head-on as they make a compelling case for the importance of sociology in the contemporary world.

The only problem I had with the book, is that I was under the impression it was the one which included the Soc Lab Series, and I did not have the information I needed. I had to struggle through the class, and locate things online where the other students who had the correct access to online class material, were able to get right through to what they needed. Overall, the book is a great one for understanding modern sociology in the world we live in today. I just wish I had the Soc Lab registration I though I was getting with it.
