Description

Classical theory courses have been among the most resistant to diversity and multiculturalism having been committed to the "canon" as it has been handed down. Social and Political Theory: Classical Readings is the first anthology that includes canonical works as well as contemporaneous works by women and by men of color - works that were, in their time, avidly read and debated. This anthology is therefore the first reader in classical theory that is historically as well as sociologically accurate, restoring to the canon works that were excluded precisely because they represented the voices of the "other."
