Editorial Reviews

"McAll delivers a powerful contribution to social stratification literature through his creative reevaluation of two interrelated concepts essential to understanding social inequality: class and ethnicity ... His thesis is innovative and provocative." B. Bullock, Choice. "An ambitious project and one that should occasion debate in the social science community ... His examples range broadly, taking in historical and anthropological work as well as classic sociological texts ... The work is valuable and instructive." R. A. Sydie, Canadian Studies in Population. "The strengths of this qualitative mono-graph are its conceptual clarity, originality, and articulate writing style ... McAll must be commended for producing a significant contribution to the study of social inequal-ity and ethnic relations." Robert D. Manning, American Journal of Sociology. "Ce travail alimentera ... des discussions sérieuses sur le culte de la distinction ethnique et sur l'incontournable appartenance de classe." Mikaël Elbaz, Département d'anthropologie, Université Laval.
