Oa Brien and Howard have brought together an engaging and lively collection of articles that demonstrate the various ways that people create, re--create, and sometimes challenge social inequalities in our everyday interactions. This collection challenges the current simplistic tendency to see the a doing of differencea as mere racial, gender, social class, or sexual a performancea ; Instead, the authors in Everyday Inequalities creatively illuminate various situations -- in media, workplaces, the arts, or the street--in which people are actively negotiating their identities and their positions within socially--structured contexts of inequality.
