Description and Table of Contents
Description
Where once nations were socially relatively stable, now they are broken apart by the challenges of racial and ethnic minorities, feminists, homosexuals and post-colonials. This book measures the importance of these voices, and sets out to show how they are challenges to, and also opportunities for, the sociological imagination. Spanning the historical development of sociology from Durkheim and Weber to current social writers such as Gloria Anzaluda and Cornel West, the author provides insights which invite sociologists, social scientists and all those concerned with today's world to take up again their responsibilities as public intellectuals.
