But social inequality is also a \"real life\" problem familiar to ordinary people -- not just a topic for the ivory tower. Almost everyone, even the least academically inclined, has something to say about it. The aim of \u003ci\u003eOutsights\u003c\/i\u003e is to better understand inequality by considering some of these varied perspectives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn particular, \u003ci\u003eOutsights\u003c\/i\u003e examines the views of social outsiders. There are many kinds of outsiders. In fact, their shared defining feature is that they are not insiders -- not white, not male, not middle class, not middle-aged, not able-bodied, not born in North America. Outsiders are among society's most vulnerable members -- victims or potential victims of the way life is organized. They are frequently critical of people on the inside, and especially skeptical of insiders' views of life on the outside.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOutsiders know a lot about life on the margins: they hold deep, often personal understandings of things like sexual harassment, racial discrimination, and unemployment. What's more, they're often concerned with aspects of inequality that don't even cross the minds of insiders: where to find their next meal, how to access medical care, and ways other than education to climb the social ladder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eOutsights\u003c\/i\u003e attempts to bridge the gap between the views of insiders and outsiders with the goal of better understanding the causes and costs of social inequality -- and what can be done about it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e--From the Introduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lorne Tepperman,Nicole Meredith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1772440299\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781772440294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rock's Mills Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/31\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 366\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.76d","brand":"Lorne Tepperman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47474221547775,"sku":"9781772440294","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a709dcc9-bf21-4919-9d04-3cbe6d6a9240.jpg?v=1762315503","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/outsights-lorne-tepperman-9781772440294","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
