About this title

Review:

"Inside Social Life is a comprehensive approach to navigating the journey from understandings of the self to the interconnections of self and society."--Patrick Archer, St. Ambrose University

"This is the best reader available for conveying the power of interactionist theory. Collectively the articles demonstrate the breadth of interactionist thought, illuminate the experiences of diverse and oftentimes overlooked populations, and facilitate recognition of the link between micro and macro sociology."--Gary Grizzle, Barry University

"I like Inside Social Life because of the range of interesting topics covered that fit nicely into my overall outline of topics. I especially like the introductory sections to each substantive grouping. The pedagogy is the reason I use and will continue to use the book."--Gary T. Deimling, Case Western Reserve University
