• Charles Lemert is one of the most renowned critics of social theory & theorists today. The editors of this book have offered & contextualized many of his best essays & situated them against the backdrop of American sociology. The breadth of Lemerts work doesn't stop at an academic engagement with theoretical debates such as "globalization" or "postmodernism," but cuts right to the heart of abiding social issues. His work is focused & continues to probe pressing questions such as the rise of vulnerabilities in an era of new capitalism. By weaving together personal narrative, research, lucid explanations, & a dynamic engagement with social theory of old & new, his unique prose renders accessible complex theoretical debates.
