Australian Sociology [electronic resource] : Fragility, Survival, Rivalry /
Harley, K.author.
Wickham, G.author.
Battered and bruised by injuries (often self-inflicted) sustained in the first half of the twentieth century since 1950 sociology in Australia has fought its way back into the academic mainstream. This has not been easy; its fortunes seem forever mixed – good in some places and dismal in others. But it has proved itself resilient, it is a survivor.
