Examines the impact of class status on an individual's
participation or non-participation in the political process.
Focusing on the relative absence of white working-class involvement
in many contemporary US liberal and left social movements, this
title goes straight to the source: members of the working class and
activists in various movements.
"Rhyming Hope and History" exposes the frayed relations between
activism and social movement scholarship and examines the causes
and consequences of this disconnect between theory and practice.
Both scholars and activists explore solutions, weighing the promise
and perils of engaged theory and the barriers to meaningful
collaboration. This volume asserts that partnerships among scholars
and activists benefit both academic inquiry and social change
efforts.

Make the familiar new."Experience Sociology" empowers students to
use the lenses of Culture, Structure, Power to see sociology
everywhere. Bringing theory and sociological concepts together,
"Experience Sociology" helps students move beyond an individual
perspective to gain a sociological perspective.
"Experience Sociology" engages students with a clear framework
for understanding sociology based on three familiar concepts:
Culture, Structure, and Power. For every topic in the book - from
the family to the economy to the environment - students learn to
recognize the effects of the culture that has taught them, see the
structures that constrain or empower them, and notice how power
operates at every level of society.
