The sociological imagination
"C. Wright Mills is best remembered for his highly acclaimed work The Sociological Imagination, in which he set forth his views on how social science should be pursued. The book took issue with the ascendant schools of sociology in the United States, calling for a humanist sociology connecting the social, personal, and historical dimensions of our lives. Mills's sociological imagination is in fact a sociological vision, a way of looking at the world that can see links between the apparently private problems of the individual and important social issues." "Leading sociologist Todd Gitlin brings this fortieth anniversary edition up to date with a lucid afterword in which he considers the manifold contributions Mills made with this pioneering work, and examines how Mills's research relates to American society today."--Jacket
