This collection assembles some of the country s foremost social
scientists in one volume. It contains diverse investigations of
metropolitan transformation, recent education policy, the
(in)justice of disaster relief, the politics of aesthetics and
design, immigration, the mass media, social movements, and the
practice of social science itself, among others. Whatever their
subjects, the writers investigate the promise and constraints of
democratic practice in a time of disturbing growth in inequality
and political disempowerment. Although they at times differ from
one another, more often, they challenge popular received wisdom on
a number of these topics. Cumulatively, the volume amounts to a
critical sociological excavation of the United States from its
leading social critics that will prove useful to specialists and
general readers alike."
