Rezensionen
"The sociology of culture has been among the fastest growing fields in the discipline. It is diverse in theory, research methods, and empirical agendas. The Blackwell Companion offers a very useful guide - all the more valuable because culture should be a dimension of all sociological analyses and newcomers to cultural analysis need an introduction." Craig Calhoun, New York University
