Review
"An important approach to social inequality."--M. M. Denny, "Choice
Product Description
Charles Tilly, in this eloquent manifesto, presents a powerful new approach to the study of persistent social inequality. How, he asks, do long-lasting, systematic inequalities in life chances arise, and how do they come to distinguish members of different socially defined categories of persons? Exploring representative paired and unequal categories, such as male/female, black/white, and citizen/noncitizen, Tilly argues that the basic causes of these and similar inequalities greatly resemble one another. In contrast to contemporary analyses that explain inequality case by case, this account is one of process. Categorical distinctions arise, Tilly says, because they offer a solution to pressing organizational problems. Whatever the "organization" is--as small as a household or as large as a government--the resulting relationship of inequality persists because parties on both sides of the categorical divide come to depend on that solution, despite its drawbacks. Tilly illustrates the social mechanisms that create and maintain paired and unequal categories with a rich variety of cases, mapping out fertile territories for future relational study of durable inequality.

失望。對再生産不平等的的行為的分類,是很有啓發性的洞見。但是這整本書在此之外的部分,都是在以本體論上很可疑的方法去延伸這些洞見來闡釋各種例子,令人失望。
评分沒想到讀Tilly竟然讀的第一本是這個…而且還是在社會流動課上…Tilly就是Tilly,寫作的視野很不錯,但強烈懷疑大佬們寫作是不是寫完不修改……強烈建議這邊學習一下海明威站著寫作…
评分An appealing alternative to explain social inequality based on categorical traits than the distribution of human capital. The problem next is that the mechanism through which those categorical differences are successfully maintained by organizations.
