Celebrated author John Iceland covers various topics, including America's historical demographic growth; the American family today; gender inequality; economic well-being; immigration and diversity; racial and ethnic inequality; internal migration and residential segregation; and health and mortality. The discussion of these topics is informed by several sources, including an examination of household survey data, and by syntheses of existing published material, both quantitative and qualitative. Iceland discusses the current issues and controversies around these themes, highlighting their role in everyday debates taking place in Congress, the media, and in American living rooms. Each chapter includes historical background, as well as a discussion of how patterns and trends in the United States compare to those in peer countries.Country/Region of Manufacture: USGenre: Society & CultureBook Series: Sociology in the Twenty-First CenturyTopic: Social SciencesRelease Year: 2014 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
