A Sociology Reader: Foundational Concepts for the Introductory Student features a collection of essays that provide real-world illustrations of foundational sociological concepts and theories. The essay selections vary in length and style, ranging from analyses to calls to action, argumentative to playful. The anthology is designed to help students sharpen their critical analysis of the social world while also providing them with new perspectives to consider.

The anthology is organized into eight units. Unit I introduces readers to the sociological perspective and describes how sociologists do research. Units II and III focus on the topics of culture and socialization with readings that examine body rituals among the Nacirema, cultural symbols and ideas, the effects of extreme isolation on humans, and climate change despair and empowerment. In additional units, students read about our social structures, the concept of deviance, social inequalities, and social institutions. The final unit speaks to social change, including social movements and stories of resistance.

A Sociology Reader is designed to supplement the corresponding textbook A Sociological Worldview: Essentials of Sociology; however, it can also serve as a companion to any other textbook used within an introduction to sociology course or be used independently.
