Though the word "sociology" was coined in Europe, the field of
sociology grew most dramatically in America. Despite that
disproportionate influence, American sociology has never been the
subject of an extended historical examination. To remedy that
situation--and to celebrate the centennial of the American
Sociological Association--Craig Calhoun assembled a team of leading
sociologists to produce Sociology in America. Rather than a story
of great sociologists or departments, Sociology in America is a
true history of an often disparate field--and a deeply considered
look at the ways sociology developed intellectually and
institutionally. It explores the growth of American sociology as it
addressed changes and challenges throughout the twentieth century,
covering topics ranging from the discipline's intellectual roots to
understandings (and misunderstandings) of race and gender to the
impact of the Depression and the 1960s. Sociology in America will
stand as the definitive treatment of the contribution of
twentieth-century American sociology and will be required reading
for all sociologists. Contributors: Andrew Abbott, Daniel Breslau,
