About the Book

Voices in Sociology introduces undergraduate students to articles that deal with conventional and non-conventional issues in sociology. Selections in this anthology, some of which have not appeared in previous readers, are each preceded by an introduction to the basic sociological concepts and theories discussed within the article. Students will find the selected articles informative and applicable to real world concerns, while instructors will find that the book offers ample opportunities for class discussion. This book can be used as the sole textbook or as a supplement to one. The brevity and focus of Voices in Sociology makes it an ideal and unique addition to any Introduction to Sociology course.

The readings in Voices in Sociology cover a wide range of topics in sociology, including: History of Sociology; Women's Perspective as a Radical Critique of Sociology; How Sociologists Do Research; Culture; Socialization; Deviant Behavior; Gender Roles; and Social Stratification: Social Class.
