This volume provides the first comprehensive overview of social
psychological research on inequality for a graduate student and
professional audience. Drawing on all of the major theoretical
traditions in sociological social psychology, its chapters demonstrate
the relevance of social psychological processes to this central
sociological concern. Each chapter in the volume has a distinct
substantive focus, but the chapters will also share common emphases
on: - The unique contributions of sociological social psychology - The
historical roots of social psychological concepts and theories in
classic sociological writings - The complementary and conflicting
insights that derive from different social psychological traditions in
sociology. This Handbook is of interest to graduate students preparing
for careers in social psychology or in inequality, professional
sociologists and university/college libraries.
