Synopsis

This highly regarded anthology of primary readings in sociological theory covers the major theorist and schools from classic to contemporary to modernist and postmodernist in a chronological organization. While designed to be a supplementary reader, its comprehensive coverage and excellent introductions make this book appealing as a main text for professors who want to encourage their students to read and interpret original sources without a traditional main text.

About this title

From the Publisher:

A comprehensive general introduction as well as introductions to each of the chapters provide biographical background and historical context to make the readings accessible and more meaningful to students.
Its chronological, rather than topical, approach coordinates well with George Ritzer's sociological theory texts, as well as with other texts in social theory.
