INTRODUCING SOCIOLOGY

This comic-book-style journey through the world of sociology makes the discipline fun and accessible as it acquaints readers with the ways in which social structures influence our lives. Tracing the origins of sociology from industrialization, revolution, and the Enlightenment through to globalization, neoliberalism, and modern-day concerns about nationalism, the guide explores key thinkers, movements, and ideas, tackling topics such as theories of power and knowledge; concepts of national, racial and sexual identity; studies of the city; the Protestant Work Ethic and capitalism; and many more.
