Modern South Africa: A Volume in the Comparative Societies Series (Interactive Computing)

Modern South Africa: A Volume in the Comparative Societies Series (Interactive Computing) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

One in a series of short books devoted to different countries that offers much-needed cross-cultural and global material to instructors. Used alongside an introductory sociology text or as a supplement in courses on comparative societies, comparative politics, comparative economics, or social stratification, this book brings a rich global perspective into the undergraduate classroom. The opening chapter establishes historical and cultural context, while subsequent chapters focus on the basic institutions, social stratification, social problems and social change. The chapter organization is typical of a standard introductory sociology text making it easy to use in any class.

Description:

Includes bibliographical references (p. 199-205) and index.
