About this title

Synopsis:

Contested Knowledge is a new sociological theory text. For the undergraduate or graduate course which inspires students to think afresh about sociological theory, it will be essential reading.

From the Back Cover:

From the classical sociologists (Durkheim, Marx, Weber) to contemporary social theories and movements (including feminism, poststructuralism, African-American thought and Queer Theory), Professor Seidman presents a compelling new approach to the tradition of sociological theory and its established canon. Combining social analysis and moral advocacy, Contested Knowledge shows how social theory can work within the public, political sphere.
