Social Change: Sociology and Society

The text is thoroughly up-to-date, covering in detail the transformations in social relations associated with post-colonialism, the information society, city life, new communication forms, intimacy and governing the self. Each chapter is written by an author well known in their field and supported by readings that present a wide range of international case studies. These readings encourage students to engage with social and cultural documents as evidence of social change, developing their critical and analytical skills.
