This is a textbook with a twist. Written as a novel, from the perspective of Mila, a student new to sociology, it is a brilliantly engaging introduction to the discipline and to the fundamental questions that have exercised the minds of the most important sociological thinkers. It offers refreshingly clear explanations of the most important aspects of sociology and exposes students to social theory and how it relates to our everyday experiences. Students are encouraged to engage critically and personally with sociological ideas, and in the process learn how to interpret, use and reshape them.

This revised second edition offers an ideal alternative to traditional texts for introductory sociology modules. It is also highly valuable for modules on sociological and social theory.

New to this Edition: - Improved narrative structure with enhanced focus on sociological ideas - Includes new pedagogical features such as Mila's end-of-chapter doodles and a glossary of key terms - Accompanied by a new companion website with a Guide and Videos for lecturers, and a flashcard glossary anda Sociology timeline for students

Arvustused

Engagingly-written, Dead White Men is a highly original introduction to foundational theories and ideas in Sociology. That it does this by instilling a sense of wonder and imagination about the social world is part of its special appeal. Essential reading for all committed Sociology undergraduates. * Sarah Moore, University of Bath, UK * This book offers a rich and inspiring insight into sociologys key theories and thinkers, delicately told through the story of Mila the perfect introduction for students new to sociology. * Trudie Knijn, Utrecht University, The Netherlands *

Engagingly-written, Dead White Men is a highly original introduction to foundational theories and ideas in Sociology. That it does this by instilling a sense of wonder and imagination about the social world is part of its special appeal. Essential reading for all committed Sociology undergraduates.' -Sarah Moore, University of Bath, UK. 'This book offers a rich and inspiring insight into sociology's key theories and thinkers, delicately told through the story of Mila - the perfect introduction for students new to sociology.' -Trudie Knijn, Utrecht University, The Netherlands. 'It allowed me, a student who had never studied Sociology before, to be gently yet thoroughly introduced to the topics I was studying in lectures and seminars. Mila's story kept me engaged by offering breaks in pure theory, instead showing how Sociology can be interpreted through the life of a student like me.' -Lydia, a sociology student 'The theories are introduced gradually and develop as the chapter is going on, allowing me to process the idea in my head as I'm reading. The fact that the theory isn't given to you straight away in a few paragraphs makes this a lot easier to understand compared to other resources.' - Luke, a sociology student
