The fourth edition of this best-selling introductory reader has
been thoroughly revised and updated to offer a stimulating and
wide-ranging set of readings for anyone who wishes to engage with
the scope of sociological thought and practice today. The book
delivers a productive mix of classic, contemporary and provocative
readings that are highly readable and lively, while retaining their
critical bite. Ideal as a companion to the ninth edition of Giddens
and Sutton's Sociology, the reader can equally be used
independently or alongside other textbooks. Readings are grouped
around ten key sociological themes, with a sustained emphasis on
comparative, globally and historically informed work. The carefully
curated collection ranges from studies of face-to-face interaction
through to the analysis of large-scale global systems, covering
both the theory and the practice of sociology. Among the new
selections in this volume are readings on the decolonial turn; the
persistence of racism and its consequences; global health issues
and the social impact of COVID-19; digital sociology and the
digitization of social life; feminist research and shifting forms
of misogyny; climate change and the emerging Anthropocene era;
income and wealth inequalities, national populist movements and the
spread of 'fake news'. Each of the thematic sections is preceded by
a discussion and followed by further reading to facilitate
students' comprehension and critical reflection. The result is an
exciting new companion that encompasses the major themes and
debates in both classical and contemporary sociology. Sociology:
Introductory Readings will be an essential resource for all
students of sociology.
