DOING DIFFERENCE
CANDACE WEST
University of California, Santa Cruz
SARAH FENSTERMAKER
University of California, Santa Barbara
In this article, we advance a new understanding of "difference" as an ongoing interactional accomplishment. Calling on the authors' earlier reconceptualization of gender, they develop the further implications of this perspective for the relationships among gender, race, and class. The authors argue that, despite significant differences in their characteristics and outcomes, gender, race, and class are comparable as mechanisms for producing social inequality.
