Sociological Theory in the Contemporary Era Summary

Sociological Theory in the Contemporary Era: Text and Readings by Scott Appelrouth

Uses a proven text/reader hybrid format to introduce contemporary theorists, their original works, and a theoretical framework for understanding them

Praise for Sociological Theory in the Contemporary Era

Current users of most other theory texts should take notice of Sociological Theory in the Contemporary Era, as it rivals existing volumes with its accessibility and its selections. -Dustin Kidd, Temple University, TEACHING SOCIOLOGY, Vol. 36, 2008 (April: 161-184)

Sociological Theory in the Contemporary Era, Second Edition, combines well-edited, important original writings from sociology's core contemporary theorists with introductory text that provides a historical and theoretical framework for understanding them. Authors Scott Appelrouth and Laura Desfor Edles use this unique text/reader approach to introduce students to contemporary sociological theory in a lively and engaging fashion. The text/reader provides not only a biographical and theoretical summary of each theorist's works but also an overarching scaffolding that students can use to examine, compare, and contrast each theorist's major themes and concepts. The book also offers discussions of past social and intellectual milieus to provide a holistic picture of the development of the theories discussed.
