Short Takes: On Social Roles and Social Structure

By: Wenglinsky, Martin

This book, Short Takes: On Social Roles and Social Structure, uses short essays to address topics typically explored in longer works. It defines and analyzes key sociological concepts, such as social roles and community, and connects them with examinations of major institutions in American life, including education. It also considers significant and currently debated roles, such as those of women and African Americans, demonstrating the value of applying a sociological perspective to issues often approached in a polemical manner. The results, as the author suggests, are both counterintuitive and refreshing.
