Reviews

Reza Nakhaie, author of Debates on Social Inequality: Class, Gender, and Ethnicity in Canada:
This book, written by a team of exciting researchers, helps us understand the importance of trust, social networks, and norms of generalized reciprocity for social inequality, race and ethnic relations, multiculturalism, family relations, and health. Kay and Johnston have helped to organize and advance a key theoretical and empirical challenge of the 21st century in the social sciences. Students and scholars in sociology and political science will find this book a thorough and thought provoking examination of social capital.
