Sociological Theory: From the Classical to the Contemporary (Third Edition)

This newly revised edition of Sociological Theory provides an engaging and accessible introduction to central sociological theories, from Durkheim's theorizing to critical race and gender theories, and from symbolic interactionism to exchange theories.

The author adds commentary and criticisms in select chapters, addressing controversial theories and dated theories such as Parsons' structural functionalism.

With an updated introduction and a new chapter on understanding democratic American culture, this book is the perfect resource for anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of sociological theory and its relevance to contemporary society.
