Analyzing Inequalities is a worktext for 100 and 200-level sociology courses (Introductory Sociology, Social Problems, Race/Class/Gender) that guides students through a series of quantitative data analysis exercises based on results from the General Social Survey. No special software is required--the exercises can be completed using the Survey Documentation and Analysis Website at the University of California-Berkeley. The SDA site is easy to navigate and master; using pull-down menus, students can create tables and generate graphs from large data sets that measure attitudes, behaviors, trends, and social arrangements on a broad range of subjects such as gender roles, traditional and same-sex marriage, immigration, workforce participation, economic opportunity, sex education and reproductive rights, racial and ethnic identity, and educational attainment. The book's topical organization (four chapters on race/ethnicity, gender, social class and sexuality, and three chapters on how these statuses intersect in within the domains of family, education and work) makes it suitable for a number of lower division courses that are largely focused on inequality.
