Rezensionen
"A worthy handbook for cultural sociologists and those interested in the sociology of culture." (Cultural Sociology, November 2008)"The sociology of culture has been among the fastest growingfields in the discipline. It is diverse in theory, researchmethods, and empirical agendas. The BlackwellCompanion offers a very useful guide - all the morevaluable because culture should be a dimension of all sociologicalanalyses and newcomers to cultural analysis need anintroduction." -Craig Calhoun, New York University
