Sociologist Nathan Glazer's remarkably long and productive career
as a New York intellectual spans seven decades from the Great
Depression era to the late twentieth century. A voracious intellect
with a perpetual sense of curiosity, he defies easy labelling. When
Ideas Mattered is a critical volume, but it also contains
autobiographical essays Glazer has written over the years to
explain the evolution of his own thought. The book is a sensitive
and nuanced examination of a towering intellectual figure on the
American scene. It is organized into sections corresponding to
Glazer's wide ranging interests: ethnicity, race, social policy and
urbanism, and architecture. He has written on the myth of the
American melting pot, the nature of American communism, the perils
and importance of affirmative action, and the limits of social
policy. Because Glazer's work has influenced succeeding generations
of thinkers and scholars in a number of fields, the editors have
included appraisals and assessments by several of these writers
written especially for this volume.
