From the Inside Flap

"Blumer's collection of essays could be characterized as 'What everyone should know in words everybody can understand.' It is a lucid, straightforward statement of ideas that have been very important in the development of American sociology."--American Sociological Review "The best current source for the symbolic interactionist perspective and its methodological implications. . . . Today, when so many students and professionals are asking increasingly for relevant study, meaningful research, and a concern for the application of social science to social life, Blumer's book should become a best-seller."--Social Forces

He later became the founding chair of the Department of Sociology at the University of California, Berkeley. In 1983 the American Sociological Association honored him with its Career of Distinguished Scholarship Award, acknowledging the importance of his codification of the fundamental theoretical and methodological tenets of the sociological perspective that he called symbolic interactionism.
