The influential authors significantly update their popular
introductory text that invites students to reflect on their lives
in the context of the combustible leap from modern to postmodern
life. The authors show how culture is central to understanding many
world problems as they challenge readers to confront the problems
and possibilities of an era in which the futures of the physical
and social environments seem uncertain. As culture rapidly changes
in the 21st century, the authors have successfully incorporated
these nuances with many important updates on race and racism, Black
Lives Matter, the rise of populist politics, ISIS, new social
media, feminist perspectives on sex work, trans and non-gender
conforming identities, and more. New to this edition: New data,
text box examples, photos, exercises, study questions, and glossary
terms appear throughout. New discussions added of arts-based and
participatory approaches to research, historical changes in the
perception of deviance, legalization of marijuana; Islam vs.
secularism in France, new forms of socialization, heteronormative
and essentialist language related to sex and gender, intersections
of social class and other identities, the prison industrial
complex, informal sharing economies, atheism, and more. New text
boxes include: Young Saudis Find Freedom in their Phones How One
Stupid Tweet Blew Up Justine Sacco's Life School-to-Prison Pipeline
India's Reproductive Assembly Line Workers Feel Pain of Layoffs
Like Prohibition, the fight over guns is about something else
Micro-aggression and Changing Moral Cultures Praise for A
Contemporary Introduction to Sociology "Treats sociology as a
living, vibrant discipline. The book is a masterful synthesis
written in a style that is at once sophisticated, engaging, and
accessible." -Peter Kivisto, Augustana College "Alexander and
Thompson have produced the modern textbook we have all been waiting
for-comprehensive and coherent, but above all intelligent. Designed
to make teaching sociology unproblematic, the book is the ideal
combination of theory, evidence, and accessibility." -Bryan S.
Turner, editor of The Cambridge Dictionary of Sociology "Sets new
standards in speaking directly to students of the most significant
recent developments in sociology and social changes they are
living. It shows how inspiring the sociological imagination can be
in areas like media, sexuality, gender relations, inequality, and
globalization. -Lyn Spillman, University of Notre Dame "A truly
contemporary sociology, one that mines the classics of sociology
for insights into a profoundly changed, postmodern world. Most
important, the book reminds us of sociology's capacity to
surprise." -Francesca Polletta, University of California-Irvine "An
extraordinary textbook that synthesizes a wealth of sociological
studies. The book is engaging and readable, key concepts are
clearly defined, and important theories are succinctly explicated.
I highly recommend it to students and faculty alike." -William
Julius Wilson, Harvard University
