What's Wrong with Sociology?
"This is a provocative book, or at least it should become so. It should stir intellectual debate and, if I dare say, some research on the discipline. . . . Cole's call for debate ought to be taken seriously before the sun sets on the field."—David L. Featherman, Contemporary Sociology"These 16 provocative essays are built around the idea of a crisis in sociology, both in cognitive and social organizational terms, reflected variously, for example, in the relative decline of the status of sociology in relation to other social science disciplines, and in some cases, the retrenchment or downsizing of departments."—Virginia Quarterly Review
