Description: "Social Psychology and Modernity explores social psychological thinking in relation to contemporary society. Some of the key thinkers at the interface between sociology and psychology are introduced and discussed. The aim of the book is not only to function as an undergraduate text, but also to develop new ways of approaching and using social psychological theory."--Jacket.
