Understanding Race, Class, Gender, and Sexuality

The only text that uses a conceptual framework to analyze the interlocking nature of race, class, gender, and sexuality.Understanding Race, Class, Gender and Sexuality provides a formal delineation of the theories underlying intersectional research and a framework for conducting critical analyses of the ways in which race, class, gender, and sexuality intersect in our lives. This is the only text in the field thatpresents a conceptual framework for analyzing the interlocking nature of these hierarchical systems and the ways in which they operate in our lives on both macro and micro levels. Originally published as two separate books, the second edition is now one book including both text and cases. Theoriginal structure has stayed the same, and Weber continues to use the extended example of education to show students how to conduct a race, class, gender, and sexuality analysis.
