Re-examining C.Wright Mills’ legacy as a jumping off point, this original introduction to sociology illuminates global concepts, themes and practices that are fundamental to the discipline. It makes a case for the importance of developing a sociological imagination and provides the steps for how readers can do that. With a global outlook and examples drawn from everything from social inequality to social media, this is a lively, engaging and accessible overview of sociology for all its students and teachers.
"This is a comprehensive and critically engaged review of the discipline written by two passionate authors wishing to remind us all of the beauty of questioning and engaging with the ultimate purpose of sociological debates: to reshape, re-establish and ultimately reignite the reveal of the sociological imagination!" Athanasia Chalari, University of Northampton
"The authors critically reflect on sociology's place in the world and persuasively argue that the 'sociological imagination' is more relevant than ever in this comprehensive account." Jenny van Hooff, Manchester Metropolitan University
