Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The Contexts Reader enables instructors to assign readings that are as accessible as a popular paperback, but as brief as a journal article, in one affordable anthology. Three-quarters of the articles were published in the last four years and are therefore new to the Second Edition.

Book News Annotation:

Consider this collection of more than 60 articles a sampler for Contexts, a respected sociological publication. Editors Hartmann and Uggen (sociology, U. of Minnesota) wanted to bring sociology to a broader, more public audience with pieces on a wide range of related topics. The articles in this second edition include the best of the first edition, as well as new material. General topics include self and community, families, education, poverty and inequality, work and the economy, gender and sexualities, race, religion, medicine and health, and more. A total of 34 authors contributed to the collection. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
