Inhaltsangabe

"Contested Knowledge" is a sociological theory text designed for undergraduate or graduate courses. From the classical sociologists (Durkheim, Marx and Weber), to contemporary social theories and movements, including feminism, poststructuralism, African-American thought and "queer theory"), Professor Seidman presents his approach to the tradition of sociological theory and its established canon. Combining social analysis and moral advocacy, "Contested Knowledge" shows how social theory can work within the public, political sphere and can contribute to the making of a better world.
