Recensione

"O′Brien and Howard have brought together an engaging and lively collection of articles that demonstrate the various ways that people create, re–create, and sometimes challenge social inequalities in our everyday interactions. This collection challenges the current simplistic tendency to see the ′doing of difference′ as mere racial, gender, social class, or sexual ′performance′; Instead, the authors in Everyday Inequalities creatively illuminate various situations – in media, workplaces, the arts, or the street–in which people are actively negotiating their identities and their positions within socially–structured contexts of inequality." Michael A. Messner, University of Southern California
