Recenzii

"There is much to think about in Turner's diagnosis of our time. His distanced appreciation for the field gives the book a healthy remove from the everyday trivia of status contests that afflict all disciplines, and also allows him to see the future as entirely different from sociol- ogy's past. If one is concerned with 'objective science' and creativity, things do not look good; if instead one is satisfied with a field of study which imaginatively empowers the powerless and gives hope to the downtrodden, then sociology probably has a meaningful future." - Contemporary Sociology, 2015, 44(1)
