Contemporary Sociological Thought Themes and Theories Ed. by Sean P. Hier 494 pages 2005 1 MB
This is an innovative new reader on contemporary sociological theory, with a Canadian twist. This volume unites 21 influential European and American social theorists with 13 Canadian thinkers and writers to offer a strong Canadian interpretation of international theoretical currents spanning almost 80 years. Ideally designed for an undergraduate audience as an introduction to modern sociological theory, the first section masterfully introduces the major theoretical offerings of the 20th century? structural functionalism; symbolic interaction and ethnomethodology; class conflict and the state; feminism; as well as modernity, culture, and change.
