The New Social Theory Reader by Steven Seidman
An anthology that thematizes the dramatic upward and downward shifts that have created the social theory. It includes sections on such issues as imperialism, power, civilization clash, health, and performance.
"Seidman and Alexander compiled a collection of essays on social theory in 2001In the time since enough has changed to warrant a much expanded second edition. The authors give in-depth introductions to each section. The first articles review the latest theories. Then they move from macro to microcosm. From ephemeral concepts like truth, ethics and justice, the authors then look at new ways of defining power, then societies: postmodern, multi-cultural, national, global and imperial. The final focus is on self-definition by race, nationality, gender, sexuality and post colonial identification. Many of the articles have already appeared in a variety of journals. This updated edition is of interest to sociologists and ideal for university classrooms." - Book News Inc., August 2008
