Intersectional Inequality: Race, Class, Test Scores, and Poverty

This book delves into the complex interplay of race, class, test scores, and poverty, offering a nuanced understanding of intersectional inequality. The authors, Charles C. Ragin and Peer C. Fiss, draw on their extensive experience to develop a framework that connects qualitative and quantitative analyses, making their research both accessible and impactful.

Through meticulous case studies and robust empirical research, they illuminate how various social strata intersect to create divergent educational outcomes. The authors challenge conventional assumptions and invite readers to rethink the dynamics of inequality seen in contemporary society.

Ragin and Fiss not only highlight the urgency of addressing these disparities but also provide practical insights for policymakers and educators. Their work serves as a clarion call for a more inclusive approach to understanding and resolving the pressing issues surrounding social and economic inequality.
