Full Description
This book examines the systemic and structural nature of social inequalities, focusing on how the urban-rural divide intersects with race, class, gender, ethnicity, and sexuality to shape identities and access to opportunities.
It offers valuable insights for sociologists and scholars of inequality seeking to broaden the scope of current research. Ultimately, the authors argue that it will be impossible to build a more just and equitable society without addressing the urban-rural nexus.
