Recenzje

"Michael Burawoy has written a fascinating intellectual autobiography, reconstructing the sociological canon along the way. This is a powerful call for sociology to recover its public mission."Edward Webster, University of the Witwatersrand"Behind Michael Burawoy's inspirational new book lies his extraordinary experiences alongside, and research into, the lives of workers in Zambia, Hungary, Russia, and Chicago. At each stop in his journey, he asks: What is this worker's life like? And how could it be? This is such a welcome and important book - read it and pass it on."Arlie Hochschild, author of Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right"Michael Burawoy argues for a sociology that encourages and informs critical public discussions on the preservation of our society. His illuminating personal trajectory, used as an object of analysis and placed in a wider social context, is a must-read."William Julius Wilson, Harvard University
