Index
“Sociology is one of this country’s most distinctive contributions to twentieth-century world culture. Its role has been obscured by the historic prestige of the European Founders of sociology, yet it was here that the agonies and ecstasies of creating an internationally respected discipline were experienced. With the publication of Sociology in America, we at last have a chorus of voices who know how to do justice to its bite, verve, and gravitas.”--Donald N. Levine, University of Chicago
“This remarkable collection of essays offers a comprehensive look at the immensely complex field of sociology over the past hundred years in the United States. It shines with intelligence: it was intelligently conceived, intelligently organized, intelligently introduced—most of that the work of its editor, Craig Calhoun—and the individual essays are uniformly excellent. A generation from now we may need a similar volume to locate sociology as a discipline on the intellectual map, but for now the task has been accomplished superbly.”--Kai Erikson, Yale University
