Burawoy Michael - Public Sociology - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Michael Burawoy has helped to reshape the theory and practice of sociology across the Western world. Public Sociology is his most thoroughgoing attempt to explore what a truly committed engaged sociology should look like in the twenty - first century. Burawoy looks back on the defining moments of his intellectual journey exploring his pivotal early experiences as a researcher such as his fieldwork in a Zambian copper mine and a Chicago factory. He recounts his time as a graduate and professor during the ideological ferment in sociology departments of the 1970s and explores how his experiences intersected with a changing political and intellectual world up to the present. Recalling Max Weber Burawoy argues that sociology is much more than just a discipline it is a vocation to be practiced everywhere and by everyone.
