内容説明

Drawn from the plenary sessions of the 1988 annual meeting of the American Sociological Association, these papers explore the relationship between the practice of sociology and American society. The international and interdisciplinary contributors examine the impact that sociology makes on American culture, on America's perception of social problems and on the American policy process.
