Imagining Society

Re-examining C.Wright Mills's 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.
