Features: This book is a compilation of independent articles, with original formats varying.

Additionally, due to space constraints, necessary adjustments were made when selecting the articles, as explained by Glen in the preface of the English edition. When translated into Chinese, to maintain the integrity of academic articles, minor were made on specific viewpoints, while the original content was largely preserved. For some biased viewpoints in the original book, readers are advised to adopt a critical and selective approach.

Given different contextual issues, it is hoped that this book will inspire Chinese sociologists to develop more contextually relevant sociological methods and theories. Starting with classic foundational textbooks and gradually creating a new landscape for sociological teaching and research—this is the original intention and aspiration behind compiling this series of classic translations of sociological textbooks. The book includes articles by classic theorists such as Marx, Weber, and Durkheim, as well as works by modern scholars like Bell, Giddens, and Hirsch. It is an authoritative compilation of social stratification theory and a widely popular social stratification textbook in overseas universities. The book incorporates the latest research findings on social stratification theory, exploring the causes, characteristics, responses, and future of social stratification from perspectives such as economics, ethnicity, and gender. It presents a comprehensive picture of social stratification research, offering significant reference value for Chinese social stratification studies.
