Opis

This rigorous sociology text relates students' everyday experiences to larger social, political, and economic processes, demonstrating the uses of theory for making sense of the world that surrounds them and encouraging them to engage in abstract and critical thinking. The book is split into three parts - Theoretical Foundations, Structures of Power, and Everyday Practices - helping students make connections between theory and their daily lives. This second edition has been fully updated and thoroughly revised to be more accessible to introductory-level readers. It also deepens discussion of indigeneity and settler-colonialism and extends discussion of gender binaries, heteronormativity, and the need to denaturalize "normal" vs. dis/abled bodies. Study questions and suggested activities offer students an active way of participating in their learning and a full Instructor's Manual with PowerPoint slides, a test bank, and a list of multimodal supplementary resources makes the book easy to integrate into blended and online learning environments.
