Encounters is the first volume in The Advanced Studies in Sociology series. This series has been projected to provide a needed outlet for studies and research at the frontiers of Social Science. The criteria for the series are that each study treats an area of research or thought of more than parochial interest, represents the highest standards of scholarship and is presented in literate prose. The series is dedicated to the belief that serious and important scholarship is provoked and stimulated by the widest possible distribution of the written work of leading thinkers and new investigators in a field.
