Emerald Studies in Class and Inequality

Submission guidelines

The rise of social inequality in societies across the globe in recent decades has taken centre stage in social analysis and led to increased interest in issues related to class, race, and gender, with special attention to social movements that address these inequities to bring about social change and social transformation in the late 20th and early 21st century. These topics are now the mainstay of studies in sociology and the social sciences.

Growing interest in research and scholarship on wealth and income inequality, racial, ethnic, and gender oppression, and social movements that have emerged to struggle against these inequalities across the globe have become important areas of study in academia today. This series intends to bring this knowledge to both academic and lay audiences worldwide to promote discussion and debate on these important topics that impact societies around the world.

Aims and scope

During the course of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, there has been an enormous increase in wealth and income inequality.

Focusing on the United States, Europe and globally, the series interrogates the unequal distribution of wealth and income over the past several decades.

Providing an analysis of the widening gap in wealth and income arising from class, racial and gender inequalities that are the outcome of exploitative social relations, this series examines the class basis of inequality, in particular the exploitation of wage-labor by capital which prevails in contemporary capitalist society.

Focusing on the polarization of classes through the ever-widening gap in wealth and income the series explores the class dynamics of social inequality stemming from the disparity in income, and wealth which has led to an uneven and unequal distribution that has reached unprecedented levels in recent history.
