In fifteen years, Charles Lemert's Social Things has become a
much-loved modern classic among teachers, students, and many other
readers for introducing the sociological imagination through
lively, memorable stories and interpretations. This fifth edition
is fresh: the history of sociology section is updated to
incorporate new discussions of the way sociological ideas have
spread into numerous other fields to inform the new
post-disciplinary social theory; the book now includes original yet
practically vivid presentations of globalization, queer theory,
critical race theory, and much else; and an entirely new chapter,
"Global Things on a Fragile Planet," addresses the environmental
crises that challenge our global world. Lemert focuses on man-made
disasters like the Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill in 2010 and natural
tragedies like the 2011 earthquakes and tsunami in Japan in which
the fragility of organized human life and the sociological
incompetence of many social structures are dramatically
illustrated.
