John F. Cuber and Peggy B. Harroff dare to swim against the mainstream of present-day social science in The Significant Americans. They employ a wholly different cognitive style in their search for the truth about the sexual and emotional relationships between men and women of the upper middle class. The authors wanted to find out ow these people feel about premarital sex, married love, and extramarital relationships, and what part of the male-female relationship plays in the success-oriented person's scheme of things - and they wanted to know all this not in terms of percentages but in terms of how it actually feels and looks to the persons involved. The Significant Americans contains hundreds of direct quotations from its interviewees, plus some intriguing generalizations and patterns suggested by its authors.

Preface The field of social stratification is at this writing without a published textbook, although a few months ago a voluminous and well selected book of readings appeared. Yet our research output in this field has been immense. For several years the American Sociological Society s Census of Research has recorded major research activity on stratification. The special issue of the American Journal of Sociology pertaining to stratification, in 1953, contained a bibliography of 333 items to which we could add at least another hundred titles without exhausting the available materials. It seems that the time is now ripe for someone to attempt a reasonably brief integration of many of these scattered theoretical and empirical works, to present to advanced students a reasonably inclusive and consistent concept of the field of stratification, a basic vocabulary, some of the main ideas and issues and a representative cross section of the empirical materials and critical analyses of them. This we have tried to do. The book is in no sense encyclopedic; it is concerned with stratification in the United States only, and even for this society does not treat all of the possible theoretical problems. We have tried, in Chapters 2and 3, to make our orientation explicit. We do not presume to have written a standard advanced textbook in the field, for the field is yet too fluid for anyone to know what is standard and what is tangential. The plan of the book deserves a brief comment. Part I is a semantic, theoretical, and methodological orientation to stratification literature. A number of theoretical positions are taken and are, somewhat a priori, rationalized. (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)
