Summary:

Heron considers the different impact of education of occupational rewards for diverse social groups in the United States, Canada, and England. Testing neo-classical and neo-Marxist theories, she uses census data to model the complex interrelations between immigrant status, gender, and race, examining the role education plays in counteracting disadvantages connected to other measures of social status. Heron teaches sociology and demography at the Florida State University. c. Book News Inc.
