Riassunto

This is Sociology is a progressive, engaging and concise introduction to the key concepts for studying social life. It shows how sociology can help us understand our lives, the groups we are part of, and the rapid social changes and inequalities that shape contemporary societies.

Key features:

• Using compelling international examples, this book covers what you need to know from the rich history of sociology and goes beyond traditional perspectives.
• Introduces you to the latest approaches emerging from efforts to build an inclusive global sociology equipped for the challenges of the 21st Century.
• Tackles topics such as gender, race, and class through a diverse range of theoretical perspectives from across the world, including theorists that have often been excluded from the established western narrative.
