Herbert J. Gans

Opis

This collection of recent essays by the influential sociologist Herbert J. Gans brings together the many themes of Gans's wide-ranging career to make the case for a policy-oriented vision for sociology. Sociology and Social Policy explicates and helps solve social problems by presenting a range of studies on what people, institutions, and social structures do with, for, and against one another. These works from across Gans's areas of interest--the city, poverty, ethnicity, employment and political economy, and the relationship between race and class--together make a powerful call to action for the field of sociology.
