Recenzii
"Periodic reflection on where we are and where we might be heading is useful. Linda Mckie and Louise Ryan’s book treats this as an urgent task for sociological researchers, mindful too of the past… There is much here to hearten sociologists anxious about the discipline’s prospects"
Graham Crow, University of Edinburgh, Network
