For over twenty-five years, Charles C. Ragin has developed Qualitative Comparative
Analysis and related set-analytic techniques as a means of bridging qualitative and
quantitative methods of research. Now, with Peer C. Fiss, Ragin uses these impressive
new tools to unravel the varied conditions affecting life chances. Ragin and Fiss
begin by taking up the controversy regarding the relative importance of test scores
versus socioeconomic background on life chances, a debate that has raged since the
1994 publication of Richard Herrnstein and Charles Murray's The Bell Curve. In contrast
to prior work, Ragin and Fiss bring an intersectional approach to the evidence, analyzing
the different ways that advantages and disadvantages combine in their impact on life
chances. Moving beyond controversy and fixed policy positions, the authors propose
sophisticated new methods of analysis to underscore the importance of attending to
configurations of race, gender, family background, educational achievement, and related
conditions when addressing social inequality in America today
