In the eloquent style for which he has become famous, Charles
Lemert writes of social theory as no one else. "Thinking the
Unthinkable" is offered as text for instruction, yet it defies the
prevailing assumption that social theory is a method for clarifying
the facts of social life. Lemert shows how social theory began late
in the 19th century as a struggle to come to terms with the failure
of modern reason to solve the social problems created by the
capitalist world-system. Since then, social theory has developed
through twists and turns to think and rethink this Unthinkable.
Hence the surprising innovations of recent years - postmodern,
queer, postcolonial, third-wave feminist, risk theories, among
others arising in the wake of globalization. Once again, Lemert has
made the difficult clear in a book that students and other readers
will treasure and keep.
