Sociology after Postmodernism by David Owen
A guide to transformations in sociological thinking that provides a systematic assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of postmodernism for sociology. Postmodernism is presented as a stimulus for sociologists to reconsider some of their central tenets and practices.
`For those of us who take the thesis of postmodernity seriously yet retain the empirical and theoretical apparatus of sociology, this book will be a very welcome addition to our libraries′ - Contemporary Sociology
