Social Theory by Charles Lemert
This multicultural anthology represents the range of social theory as it has developed from the 19th century to the present day, and as it will take shape in the 21st century. The book reconstructs the actual dialogue of contemporary social thought and juxtaposes social theorists in unexpected ways. Comprehensive introductory essays identify the social context of the writings, and comment on the currents of change that shaped the fundamental questions of modern and postmodern life.
