| Synopsis: |
In order to bring sociology to the recognition of a social world of contingencies and of an obdurate but protean reality that changes shapes as humans define it, Stanford Lyman re-introduces the concept of civilization, employing it as both an intellectual resource and a proper topic for sociological investigations.The fifteen essays in this collection by one of America s premier sociologists reflect Lyman s concern with all that is meant by the term "civilization." Primarily inspired by his attempts to synthesize the ideas of Erving Goffman, Emile Durkheim, Max Weber, Herbert Blumer, and other social thinkers, the essays reflect the author s abiding interest in the structures and the processes attending race relations, minority communities, and the constitution of the social self.1991 Mid-South Sociological Association Book Award" |
