Herausgeber: Hausner, Sondra L.

Beschreibung

Collection of contemporary essays using Durkheimian theory; reclaims classical theory but applies it to current scholarly work. Bridges multiple areas of the world, multiple disciplines and sub-disciplines, united around a single theoretical approach. Both theoretical and ethnographic in focus and in the wide range of case studies> Good introductory overview followed by detailed chapters, linked through common frame: good for scholars and students alike.
