American sociology has never been the subject of an extended historical examination. To remedy that situation –and to celebrate the centennial of the American Sociological Association–SSRC President Craig Calhoun assembled a team of leading sociologists to produce Sociology in America. The volume explores the growth of American sociology throughout the twentieth century, covering topics ranging from the discipline’s intellectual roots, to understandings (and misunderstandings) of race and gender, to the impact of the Depression and the 1960s.
