This major expression of one of the leaders of the Chicago School,
one of the most important schools of thought in contemporary
American sociology, includes his recognized masterpieces of
sociological research and writing. Hughes pioneered studies in a
variety of sociological subjects: social institutions, racial
interaction, work and occupations, and research methodology.
Cumulatively, these essays show the obvious magnitude and scope of
thought of one of the century's most distinguished scholars. In
their introduction to this edition, Riesman and Becker provide a
biographical background to Hughes' writing, describing his
pervading influence on the field of sociology and on younger
sociologists through his teaching, fieldwork, work in professional
associations, and personality. The essays are grouped into four
sections: the relationship of social institutions to changes in
their surroundings and to the personalities and careers of persons;
problems of multi-ethnic societies; the development of occupations,
the monopoly license of professions, the determination of public
policy about a line of work, and the relations between work and
social role; and social observation and analysis.
In this seminal contribution to the sociology of knowledge, first
published in 1940, Florian Znaniecki develops a typology of the
variety of specific social roles that scholars have played, and
investigates the normative patterns that govern their behavior. A
central tool for the investigation of these problems is the notion
of "social circle", the audience to which intellectuals address
themselves. Znaniecki shows that thinkers do not speak to the total
society but address selected segments and markets. Specific social
circles bestow recognition, provide material or psychic support,
and help shape the self-image of the thinker.
