The Sociology of Spatial Inequality

by Linda M. Lobao (editor), Gregory Hooks (Editor), Ann R. Tickamyer (Editor)

2007 CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title

Sociologists have too often discounted the role of space in inequality. This book showcases a recent generation of inquiry that attends to poverty, prosperity, and power across a range of territories and their populations within the United States, addressing spatial inequality as a thematically distinct body of work that spans sociological research traditions. The contributors' various perspectives offer an agenda for future action to bridge sociology's diverse and often narrowly focused spatial and inequality traditions.
