SOC 201: Critical Theory

Leading scholars from around the world provide the first truly international overview of the major developments in 20th-century Western social thought. This work also discusses feminism, world systems theory, ethnomethodology, critical theory, classical sociology, hermenuetics, action theory, and cultural sociology.

This book is arguably the definitive undergraduate textbook on contemporary social theory. Written by one of the world's most acclaimed social theorists, Anthomy Elliott provides a dazzlingly original, accessible and comprehensive tour de force of the field-from the Frankfurt School through structuralism, feminism and postmodernism to globalization theories and beyond.
