Description
This reader enables students to understand the historical flow of social theory and see how disagreements and confrontations shape theory. As in the first edition, many of the classical articles are paired with contemporary theoretical and empirical studies that illustrate the continuing value of the classical concepts. Garner continues to offer her concise introductions, all of which have been completely revised and updated for this edition.
