商品簡介
Buechler (sociology, Minnesota State U., Mankato) provides an overview of critical sociology by applying concepts to issues in the US, considering how social structures create relations of domination among social groups. He discusses power and domination in modern capitalism, the relationship between economic and political power, and mass media; inequality and difference in class, race, and gender; the concept of the individual, the relationship between self and society in shaping identity, and the construction of everyday life; and social change and globalization, social movements, and the democratization of society.
