Classical and Contemporary Sociological Theory by Scott Appelrouth

Classical and Contemporary Sociological Theory by Scott Appelrouth

Classical and Contemporary Sociological Theory is a "hybrid" between a core textbook and a secondary reader. This Second Edition, along with others in the same series, combines the major writings of sociology′s core classical and contemporary theorists with a historical and theoretical framework for understanding them. It provides not just a biographical and theoretical summary of each theorist/reading, but an overarching scaffolding which students can use to examine, compare, and contrast each theorists′ major themes and concepts. No other theory text combines such student-friendly explanation and analysis with original theoretical works.

Scott Appelrouth (PhD, New York University, 2000) is Professor of Sociology at California State University, Northridge.

He has taught classical and contemporary theory at both the graduate and undergraduate levels, and has published several articles in research- and teaching-oriented journals on social movements, theory, and the controversies over jazz during the 1920s and rap during the 1980s. His current research focuses on political discourse in American party platforms. Laura Desfor Edles (PhD, University of California, Los Angeles, 1990) is Professor of Sociology at California State University, Northridge.
