Praise for the third edition:
"There is no better social theory text for demonstrating to students the political relevance of both past and current social thinkers. Seidman compellingly argues for a more lively, publicly–engaged sociology. Contested Knowledge is required reading for any discussion of how social theory can help us make sense of our own times."
Nancy L. Fischer, Macalester College
"Seidman is one of the most original and profound voices in social theory today. A master of historical scholarship, he has produced here a revisionist theoretical story that will continue to be widely read and debated."
Jeffrey Alexander, Yale University
"The Third edition of Contested Knowledge is a strong, clear and progressive argument for the active and moral role of sociological theory in a globalized and multicultural age. It is an optimistic, rigorous and reflective text, and a highly accessible one."
Joe Bailey, Kingston University
Quatrième de couverture
From the classical sociologists (Durkheim, Marx, Weber) to contemporary social theories and movements (including feminism, poststructuralism, African–American thought, and Queer Theory), Steven Seidman presents a compelling new approach to the tradition of sociological theory and its established canon.
The Second Edition includes new sections on the theories of Alexander, Giddens, and Bourdieu, Stuart Hall and British Cultural Studies, and Wallerstein and post–colonial theory. Combining social analysis and moral advocacy, Contested Knowledge shows how social theory can work within the public, political sphere. Engaging the reader and the discipline alike it is the perfect introduction to social theory.
