From the Back Cover
Combining carefully chosen primary quotations with extensive discussion and everyday illustrative examples, Introduction to Sociological Theory provides an in-depth introduction to classical and contemporary theory, demonstrating its applicability to a range of contemporary social issues and processes.
From the core classical ideas of Martineau, Marx, Durkheim, and Weber to contemporary theorizing on feminism, race, sexuality, the body, and globalization, the book innovatively builds on excerpts from original theoretical writings with detailed discussion of the concepts and ideas under review, and with empirical newspaper examples illustrating the applicability of concepts.
Written in an engaging and lively style, this book offers a comprehensive, sophisticated, and yet highly accessible introduction to the pluralistic breadth of sociological theory.
