Social Problems

By Joel Best

Book Overview

Best helps readers think carefully about how activists, experts, and their opponents frame social problems through the logic that they use, the rhetoric of claims-making, and the ways that access to resources determines who gets their claims heard. In order to help students connect theory to everyday life, the text includes colorful examples and case studies from the real world.

Solid textbook

Used this for a college course. Textbook was interesting enough. Not a fun read per say, but not a slog either
