Recensione:

"This is a very good book, which successfully achieves the editors′ aims of encouraging engagement with the key processes of the contemporary period. I have no doubt that its brief introductions and suggestions for further reading will prove very useful to those new to contemporary social theory, but keen to learn more. I would be pleased to recommend it to my students." Steven Groarke, University of Surrey

"This volume will be useful for anyone seeking to chart the terrain of contempoary social theory ... the work covers much ground and will undoubtedly be a handy reference for students of social and cultural theory." Ian Tregenza, Australian Journal of Political Science
