"The Uses of Sociology" discusses whether sociological knowledge is
important. It introduces students to the main ways in which
sociology is practised in the world and explores the major debates
concerning its social purposes. Comparing and contrasting different
traditions of sociological thought, the authors examine the
different modes in which they engage with the social. Questions
considered include the relevance of sociological knowledge to
government, the public sphere, the media, economic life, social
movements, 'race' and ethnicity. The text also discusses related
issues, such as whether sociology is a science or a cultural
endeavour, and whether sociological research and analysis can be
detached and unbiased. Each specially written chapter is supported
by carefully-selected readings, enabling students to evaluate the
usefulness of different sociological perspectives.
