Book: Embodying The Social: Constructions Of Difference How do we understand social differences? Why do we equate differences with biologically or bodily visible symbols?
This book opens the series with a consideration of the social construction of social difference. Taking the body as the point of departure, it deals with the processes through which social problems and social inequalities are constructed. In particular, it examines the shifting ways in which our ideas about issues such as "disability," "race" and ethnicity, and sexuality influence the development of social policies.
