Description: "Mary Jo Deegan, a Meadian scholar, has edited this volume, footnoting now obscure references and authors. Her introduction explains how this previously lost manuscript affects contemporary Meadian scholarship and how it reflects the city and times in which he lived. Unlike the posthumous volumes assembled from lecture notes, Essays in Social Psychology is the only book actually written by Mead and challenges most current scholarship on him.

The selections are highly readable, surprisingly timely yet historically significant. Psychologists, sociologists, and educators will find it immensely important."--BOOK JACKET.
