Description
Explore the world of sociology through a defining feature of all societies: power.
The Power of Sociology: Grasping Our Unequal World introduces students to sociology through the discipline’s primary concern: the causes and consequences of social inequality, and at its core, power. The central organizing principle of social life, power is relevant to every reader and fundamental to all major sub-areas of sociology. Authors Gudmundur Oddsson, Jenny M. Stuber, and James Michael Thomas weave discussions of power throughout the book and devote a chapter to a broad exploration of the concept. To highlight the social impacts of rapid globalization and growing global inequality, this book embraces a cross-cultural, comparative perspective, thereby elevating under-represented voices from the sociological community around the globe. This approach challenges students to see themselves as global citizens capable of making their communities and our world a better place.
