Culture has become a touchstone of interdisciplinary conversation. For readers interested in sociology, the social sciences and the humanities, this book maps major classical and contemporary analyses and cultural controversies in relation to social processes, everyday life, and axes of ordering and difference - such as race, class and gender. Hall, Neitz, and Battani discuss:
The authors advocate cultivating the sociological imagination by engaging myriad languages and perspectives of the social sciences and humanities, while cultivating cultural studies by developing the sociological imagination. Paying little respect to boundaries, and incorporating fascinating examples, this book draws on diverse intellectual perspectives and a variety of topics from various historical periods and regions of the world.

"Sociology on Culture negotiates an enormously scholarly terrain, with brevity, in ways that will prove consistently interesting to sociologists--so much so that it merits wide reading quite independent of use in teaching....Few books meant as texts have been written as finely and with as much scope and imagination as this one....Sociology on Culture is as stimulating a text as you could wish with to engage students. The books sets a very high standard, and will prove absorbing and instructive to anyone interested in culture." - Contemporary Sociology
