Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: The research presented here seeks to broaden our understanding of one very particular aspect of the sociology of childhood: affluent children’s perspectives on class inequality in the contemporary United States. The research examines: 1) these children’s awareness of their own social class position in society, 2) their awareness of the stratification of American society in general, and 3) their explanations for, justifications of, or arguments against, social stratification. Twenty-one children between the ages of five and twelve were interviewed between October and December 2004. This paper reveals some basic patterns of privileged children’s awareness and understanding of class inequality in American society.
