Originally published in 1987, this edition in 1996, Sociologists on
Sociology is a unique and sometimes controversial account of the
development, disputes and the future of sociology as seen through
the eyes of eleven of the world's leading sociologists at the time.
Consisting of interviews with - Anthony Giddens, Robert K. Merton,
Howard Becker, Peter Townsend, Ralf Dahrendorf, Peter Worsley,
Stuart Hall, John Rex, Michael Mann, Laurie Taylor and Ann Oakley -
the book explores such crucial issues as the nature of deviance,
the scientific status of sociology, the relationship of Marxism and
sociology, the contours of race and class, feminism, relevance of
ethnomethodology and the procedures of participant observation. The
contributions of such figures as Goffman, Mills, Parsons, Weber and
Foucault are assessed, and in clear and concise language the
contributors discuss their own theoretical interests and empirical
work in the field. Students and practitioners of the social
sciences will find the book a fascinating and a uniquely direct
insight into the thoughts of sociology's leading figures and a
remarkable cumulative assessment of the state of the discipline
itself.
