Authored by University of Chicago anthropologist and sociologist W. Lloyd Warner alongside researchers Marchia Meeker and Kenneth Eells, this landmark 1949 volume presents a rigorous, systematic methodology for measuring and categorizing social status — cutting through cultural mythology to reveal the structured inequalities embedded within American society.\n\nDrawing on Warner's pioneering Yankee City research series, the work argues that class distinctions in America are not merely economic but are deeply tied to prestige, behavioral patterns, and community perception. The authors detail practical tools and techniques for social researchers, making what was once abstract sociological theory actionable and empirically grounded. A foundational text in the fields of anthropology, sociology, and education, Social Class in America remains a vital touchstone for anyone seeking to understand how stratification operates beneath the surface of a society that has always prided itself on meritocracy — leaving the reader to wonder just how much has truly changed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49210283655387,"sku":"2026200014712-SECONDHAND","price":60.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/260f0b4b-186d-4ccd-9e62-8e831bb73b48.png?v=1788268810","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200014712-secondhand-social-class-in-america-a-manual-of-procedure-for-the-measurement-of-social-status","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
